There's been a lot of talk about Kanye West's mini movie, "We Were Once a Fairytale," directed by Spike Jonze, who recently did "Where The Wild Things Are." Jonze also directed the video for West's "Flashing Lights" video. The movie was leaked online last week and posted to West's blog, only to be pulled because production wasn't quite finished.
The video shows a pitiful and inebriated West making a fool of himself in front of anyone who will listen, where he stumbles off alone to the bathroom and spews rose petals in the toilet.
The movie takes a turn after a sick and sad West is lying on the floor of the bathroom, and finds a knife to seppuku himself. Seppuku is a form of Japanese ritual suicide. Unlike the rest of humanity, West bleeds rose petals. The ending is a bit odd. West pulls a hamster-like creature (termed West's inner"beast") from his body and urges it to do the same...
The mini movie is an interesting look at the creative side and raw side of Kanye West. Check it out below!
