So I was invited to checkout the premiere of Kanye’s short-film/video “Runaway” by my homie Jycorri Robinson from Def Jam and I ended up waiting about 3 hours to see the video (WTF this guy is never on time) but I can honestly say it was worth the wait.
THE FILM REVIEW:
Visuals: 9.5
Music: 10
Storyline: 6.5
Acting: 5.0
Overall Rating: 9.0
Summary:
Kanye is an incredible musical artist and I love his music to death but when I found out he was making a film, I thought it was a huge mistake. I walked in the theater expecting the equivalent of Ramen Noodles and I left having eaten a four course meal at Tao. The first thing that catches your attention while watching this film is the clean/crisp visual that Kanye provides. From the contreversial scence of white servants to the hooded KKK looking people, the visuals were on point. The crisp colors and camera angels in the beginning definitely sets the tone for the rest of the video. But the unfortunate part about this video is the fact that they didn’t show Selita Ebanks’ titties enough (jk). No but really, the unfortunate part is, the storyline didn’t live up to the visuals of the video. I understood the concept of the video but honestly it could of been conveyed in a different way. The way it was conveyed was way too literal and obvious. The story should of been a little smoother and abstract to match the visuals. But other than that the film was amazing, from the car, to the animals, to Selita Ebanks titties, to the running scene. Everything was on point. Bravo Kanye. Bravo.
Dont forget to catch the TV premiere of “Runaway” on MTV Oct. 23rd 8pm
MY EVENT STORY
The event was held in an independent movie theater in the Lower East Side, where there was an open bar for wine, beer and of course popcorn (i was killing that popcorn). The door was a mess as you can expect and everybody that was trying to get in swore they were somebodies uncle or cousin (I hate when people pull that card).
Me and my friends ended up getting in fine but once we were in we ended up having to wait 3 hours in the hallway to see the film because one of the projectors weren’t working. So we ended up waiting until the first showing was over. But it ened up working out for the best because there were only about 30 people in the second showing and I got to meet Ye personally (i can call him Ye now because we).
So eventually we ended up getting into the theater with small group of people that were left. Kanye steps to the front and gives (I’ll finish this story later. i have some things to do. my bad)
