Kanye West Film: Runaway



So I have just watched the 30 minute long musical/video by Kanye West and I can honestly say I have never seen a film like this before. There was an excellent video team that is for sure because there were many scenes that would just make you say "oh that's pretty cool". For example in the very beginning of the video it shows Mr. Kanye West driving through some sort of mystical forest that has a kind of road running through it and it just has a very peaceful feeling to it. Another thing that really worked in this film was how the music merged well with the images and scenes that were being shown. You will also notice a lot of interesting not in the norm type of characters, such as this bird type lady who has fallen from the sky, who is in most of the film. The main thing that stands out in this film though is how much of a change it is from traditional hip-hop culture and how it really shows you how hip-hop is expanding and evolving.

  1. I agree with you about the first scene. I was sucked in by the action of that amazing car, whipping through that dense forest. It looked really stylish.
