RUNAWAY

I was actually quite hesitant to check out the almost 35 minute movie/video RUNAWAY but found myself with a bit of time on my hands and thought, I can waste it on social networks reading the pointless ramblings of people "trying" to say something clever all while misspelling words, using improper homonyms, using "then" instead of "than", your instead of you're, and so on (that shit kills me). Or I could watch what I was convinced was going to be a horrible attempt at "trying" to do something artistic. when I compared the two side by side I saw that the two things weren't very different at all, both choices involved looking at people "trying" to do something. So I went with the latter. In the opening sequence Kanye is running and I'm not going to lie, I was kind of impressed with how fast he was moving. I chuckled and thought that maybe they sped up the playback and continued watching. I was hooked a couple minutes into this musical/video/movie (whatever the hell Kanye wants to call it) with the line "too many Urkel's on your team, that's why your Wins-low". It was that point that piqued my interest enough to actually try to sit through the whole thing. The story of this (I'm just going to call it a) video is about a comet that falls in the woods near Kanye's home that actually turns out to be a Phoenix that is awkwardly trying to adapt to our everyday life. To be honest there's a scene where the Phoenix is at a dinner table displaying poor manners (all while looking amazing I might add), that reminded me of the 1984 movie SPLASH, similar story just with a mermaid. She went into hysterics when she saw a whole turkey presented on the table and drove the other guests away with her screaming.
there however were a few parts I was confused by, there was one part in particular. A 25 foot inflatable Michael Jackson head carried by what seems to be Klan members in red garb, escorted by an English marching band. Someone please tell me the meaning of this!? I don't want to give away the whole thing if you haven't seen it, but all in all I thought it was well directed and definitely worth checking out. The music in it is amazing and it actually inspired quite a few new ideas for future production for me. Even if your line of work isn't in music I think you will enjoy it just as well. Check it out for yourself
