Here’s a weird short film by world famous director Spike Jonze featuring Kanye West playing himself. The video feels very long in parts, but I have no doubt that is intentional. Hang in for the wonderfully disturbing end.

The first time I watched this there were big chunks of the film that annoyed me. The pacing and shooting style are very different from my tastes. But the film made me think and the more I thought about it, the more powerful it felt to me. After some reflection I found it to be incredibly inspiring, not in it’s messege, but in reminding me to think beyond the obvious, the pat, or even the understandable.

I’d love to have some interaction with my ever-clever readers about this short film in the comments below.  So go ahead and share your thoughts.

While you’re at it, I have an idea for a short and have access to a sloth and an amusement park bathroom, so if someone could get get me Lady Gaga’s cell number I seem to have misplaced it.

Nice!
