Listen to Kanye explain the symbolism in the video:
ChinaBabe's Take: This video is mostly a beautiful piece of abstract moving art with Selita Ebanks as the center of attraction. I understand the phoenix represents his career and the rise from the ashes. I even understand the dinner scene, being the "last supper" symbolizing his rebirth and renewed spirits. There are great touches of brilliance moving toward genius throughout this short film. However, I believe that the genius will be lost to most people because of the cocky arrogance that is Kanye West. In some ways, I don't think that this production was completely necessary. There were times where I just thought this is a bit much...but in true Kanye form, he was pleased with himself. Kanye is beyond talented but this film will just be 35 minutes of confusion to most people...
