When it comes to anything Michael Jackson related, you know i'm all ears. so when i read about Kayne's film 'Runaway' had the inspirations of Michael's iconic place among music videos, i was ecstatic that someone is trying to emulate his accomplishments. I love that he is trying to bring back that era where music videos could almost make or break a song, as well as having them being featured as short films. Michael was once quoted in his book (Moonwalk, 1988) saying, "I was determined to make music as visually as possible...my goal is to do the best i can in every area, so why work hard on an album and then produce a horrible video?...i dont even like to call them videos. on the set i explained that we were doing a film, and that was how i approached it." this resonates so much with what Kanye says about his film, which is ultimately to "bring real culture to popular culture." remember always looking forward to MJ's latest video, for the latest dance moves, his newest fashion, as well as what kind of artistic interpretation he had for his songs. if Kanye is trying to bring any of this back, i'm WIT IT. i wont sit here and spoil the movie for you, as most blogs have spilled the beans on the content, but i do think it's going to be AMAZING.
