We Were Once A Fairytale

I came across this video a couple days ago and I thought that I would share it with you, that is if you are not familiar with it already. This is Kanye West's short film adaptation of "See You in My Nightmares," featuring Lil Wayne off of his 808's and Heartbreaks album. It is directed by Spike Jonze (Where the Wild Things Are) and it shows a rather dark and ominous side of the artist. It is a bit freaky, but also pretty cool. Take a look and leave your thoughts and comments. If it does not make sense the first time do not worry about it. It might take a couple views to understand the message behind this, and there are a few theories floating around. Anyway, Kanye is known for coming out with his share of interesting and odd videos. You got to love it because it takes viewers away from that generic form of media, which perhaps inspires you to think a little. Whether you love or hate Kanye, I think you should see this one. Supposedly, this video is not the complete finished product. If that is true, it would be interesting to see how the rest of this mini movie plays out.

    i was feeling his pain up until the bathroom scene - the fake throw up and tripe were just a bit too...er...fake for me.

    but overall, very creative. very unexpected ending. again, what?
