Runaway

Hi there! Here is a short post about the short film/ music video Runaway.
 So, just 84 minutes ago, I watched the premiere of Kanye West's new music video, Runaway.
Runaway is the song Kanye West preformed in the MTV VMA 2010, and you can watch it below.



Runaway, the music video is apparently the world's LONGEST music video ever. It's 40 minutes long.




Watch it! ^^

Here is what the music video is about:

SPOILER ALERT:
Kanye West rescues a phoenix and he brings her home and the phoenix starts dancing to Kanye's songs. Next, Kanye West brings her to a parade, and another song plays and the scene extends for quite a long time.
After that, he brings her to a dinner party with a lot of his friends, but his friends don't really accept her, they don't like her at all, and a few more songs play.
And there are occasional dialogue such as
Friend: You're girlfriend is really beautiful.
Kanye: Thank you.
Friend: Did you know she's also a bird?
Kanye: I never noticed that.

And then Kanye West preforms the song I've been waiting for, Runaway.



He plays the piano, and starts singing as ballerinas dance in the background.
After, he finishes singing, the ballerinas dance for like 5 more minutes, and finally its over. The phoenix looks amazed, and then the waiter ...(SPOILER) puts a huge bird as the main course for the dinner. The phoenix is offended and starts screaming, and they go back to Kanye's garden and she's really sad. She tells Kanye that she has to burn to go back to her own world. She also says "That's the one thing I hate most about this world. Anything that's different you try to change." Kanye then says "I'll never let you burn" and then some romantic stuff happens. 


The morning after, Kanye realizes he's all alone and then he runs, but he sees the phoenix flying up to the sky and burning, and he's now all alone. 
The End.


What did you think of the music video?


I didn't really enjoy it, but I didn't hate it either, I thought it was very artistic and it was filmed beautifully, and its really creative, and I will definately watch it again sometime in the future. BTW, the music video isn't really just a music video for Runaway, it's like a music video for his WHOLE album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. The acting was alright. I think the only reason why I didn't like it as much was probably because I had high expectations for this, and I waited a long time for it. :P But, I think if I didn't watch it with such high expectations, I might have a better opinion. 









Cast:


Kanye West as Griffin. 

Selita Ebanks as the phoenix: 


And thats it for the cast.


Sorry for such a short post, I hope you watch it and tell me what you think of it.


I give this music video a 8.6/10 :)


BYEEEE! :)
