Runaway

The scene i am analyzing is the scene where Kanye West is playing the piano at dinner. I think the overall message about that scene is him confessing of his wrongdoings as well as being fed up of people judging him and his action.the factors that led me to this conclusion would be the statement made by the man next to him at the dinner party and there was a sudden change of emotion in his face so he is basically fed up of people judging him and questioning him. The lyrics in his song runaway helps convey the message of his wrongdoings because in his song he says "And I always find, yeah, I always find somethin' wrong, You been puttin' up with' my shit just way too long, I'm so gifted at findin' what I don't like the most" he also suggests that the girl run away from him because it would be the best option. At the same time while questioning his actions he is calling into question the actions of others. Visually during that scene there are a group of ballet dancers dancing to the song in expressive form because they are moving with the beat and their dance correlates with it. The fact that its still a dinner party he chooses to be the entertainment and play the piano and have the ballet dancers when he could've chosen any form of entertainment shows that he is still trying to portray that high art and high class style.

  1. The ballet dancers in this scene are so important. Did you see the VMA performance of this song? He brought out the ballet dancers as well. In both instances I think they are beautiful performance art.
