KanYe West's full-length film debuted last night on MTV, MTV2, and BET. KanYe takes command of this film, which features ex-Victoria's Secret Angel Selita Ebanks in the lead-role of the Phoenix. Loaded with symbolism from West's life, especially over the last year (post-Taylor Swift VMA incident). The cinematography is similar to some of the videos we've seen before from West especially the ones directed by Hype Williams. Color plays an important role in this video. A color that stands out to me, is the blue color of the hanger doors in the dinner scene with the ballerinas. Overall, it's quite "artsy" and really "KanYe-esque" but I'm afraid he tries a little to hard on this video and it's a bit over-indulgent. Don't get me wrong, I like the video, but it's just another KanYe West music video that lasts 34 minutes; not that there's anything wrong with that, since his videos always deliver.
