Kanye West x Spike Jonze

A short film directed by Spike Jonez starring Kanye west showcases Kanye himself in a drunken state, one can clearly notices simply by the acting but much more by how the camera often fades in and out of blur. Many can interpret this short film in their own way, the way I’m perceiving it as throughout the film Mr. West is of course very drunk in a club setting surrounded by many people. Throughout the film you notice the song “See you In my nightmares” from Mr. West 808’s & heartbreaks album playing in the background setting the mood for the film. In the film you see kanye going though the club confronting various people and of course annoying them. Making his way though the club dancing, singing his own song, screaming, you can see that he is in a delusional state.Ttowards the end of the film kanye goes the bathroom where he throws up, naturally you would think he would upchuck what he has consumed but in the film he releases pink flowers, considering he has dealt with a lot of heartbreaks with people he has loved I would think the flowers represent happiness, all his happiness spewing out of him. Then he takes a knife and in a Japanese Kamikaze manner he stabs himself in the way they would if they have dishonored themselves or family, and more pink flowers spew from him. After stabbing himself he reaches inside himself and pulls out some kind of creature, one of the creatures from “Where the wild things are” and hands him a knife and gives him the ok to stab himself also in the same manner, I would say this is symbolizing kanye pulling out his ego and untimely killing it.
