Kanye West Runaway "Chinawear"

 I chose Scene 5 "Chinawear",  due to the lack of audio. It was very intresting to me that that scene did not have music nor did it have any type of dialogue or even a monologue, just the clinging sound of the chinawear when they touch each other. In this scene Kanye is trying to teach the "Phoenix" how to properly sip out of a gilt cup. It looks as though he was prepping her for the dinner that is to cme in the next scene. Or that he is trying to refine and civilize her . What I think Kanye is trying to say in this scene is that as human beings we have to "train" or "prepare" ourselves on how to keep in the artistic burning passions that we have deep inside just to appear and do as everyone else. I analyzed that due to the lack of audio in that scene that Kanye was expressing that in life everything we learn doesn't have to directly come out of the "teacher's" mouth and that with proper guidance we can learn on our own through our mistakes and  by just trying till we get it right. The lack of audio was a great way to convey that lesson.

  1. I believe the chinawear scene is the only scene that doesn't contain any sort of dialogue or music. It really is just the clinking. Amanda also wrote about this in a similar manner. Take a look: http://auttakaa-amanda.blogspot.com/2014/09/kanye-wests-runaway-teacup-scene.html
