Dec. 2nd, 2010 01:40 pmPlot summary of Kanye West's 34-minute "Runaway" video:
Kanye West is driving in the forest and a beautiful naked black angel in a comet hits in front of him and his car is knocked over and he pulls the angel out of the flames and she becomes his girlfriend and plays with his black bunny, sheep and reindeer and she kind of masturbates to music he plays and tries to drink tea but it's hard because she has two golden claws on each hand and then they go to a warehouse where there's a huge table set up for a dinner party consisting of black people wearing white who are served by white people also wearing white and Kanye and the angel sit down and someone asks him if he'd noticed his girlfriend is a bird and he says no and then he goes to a white piano and a bunch of Russian ballerinas in black tutus come in and he jumps on the piano and sings about how he's a douchebag and thinks about pussy too much and the camera goes low and shows a lot of ballerina crotch and then he sits back down and dinner is served and a huge bird with colorful feathers still on is put in front of his girlfriend and she's horrified and screams and everyone runs out and later she says she's a phoenix and has to burn but this world just turns feelings to statues and does not let them burn and then she flies away as a comet.
I guess vaguely influenced by Strindberg's Dream Play [edit - possibly just Splash] - which von Trier so bizarrely mixed up with Our Town in his plagiarism omelet Dogville. God I hate von Trier. West is clearly almost as much of a narcissist but he amuses me so. And how can you not forgive musicians pretty much everything? Also von Trier murdered a donkey.
Oh, and I forgot the part where they watch fireworks over a parade led by a giant Michael Jackson head trailed by the Klan.
