Full-length Kanye West (Runaway)

Kanye West has finally premiered the full length version of his "Runaway" short film. The video hit late Saturday night, and it is now making the rounds. This is very much a short film with Kanye West and model Selita EBanks starring. The music featured in the video come from Kanye West's new album, "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" which hits in November.

PARIS - OCTOBER 05: Kanye West and Selita Ebanks (L) attend the Grazia Masquerade Ball at Opera Garnier on October 5, 2010 in Paris, France.

In the short film, Kanye West meets up with a Phoenix and takes her in. He tries to make her his own, keeping her captive with him and trying to turn her into something she is not. People even try to tell him she is a bird, but he won't listen. In fact, he strikes back at them with a song. In the end, the Phoenix returns to her home realm, and Kanye West is left alone and heartbroken.

With credits, the short film comes in at just under thirty-five minutes long. Yes, it is long. Earlier this month, when he premiered the video at BAFTA in the UK, he said he wanted "Runaway" to be the next big music video short film similar to "Thriller" by Michael Jackson, and other releases by that artist. He wants his video to the be the "Thriller" for this generation. Check out the video at MTV to see if you think he has succeeded.

Kanye West thinks big, but he goes for it big too. Yes, this video is a bit strange, but no one would call Kanye West normal. He's tarnished his reputation with his behavior in the past year, and he needs to come back strong with this album. "Runaway" might help him do that, but then again it might end up being just too weird and different. Kanye West fans will enjoy the music, but will they enjoy this odd short film by the artist. With this video, he wants to have a lasting impression, but this video is just odd. No denying he made something that will leave an impression, but there is no way to know if it will be the next Thriller. Time will tell! "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" will be released on November 22nd. Go here for the latest in entertainment news and gossip.
