We Were Once A Fairy Tale – A Short Film by Spike Jonze
by Staff, October 19, 2009
Kanye West is the star of this latest Spike Jonze-directed short film. Featuring a series of cameo appearances, the short film revolves around Yeezy’s We Were Once A Fairy Tale track. Watch the 11-minute movie to see how things play out.

The song at the end is “Moonlight Sonata” composed by Ludwig Van Beethoven.

anyone know what the song at the end is?
i think, it was just about his perception on himself.
he knows how he is when he is acting like abitch, and it looks like he wants to kill that side of him, but all in all it’s apart of him.
i think it was a work of art.
This is crazy awesome son.
Dumbest shit ever. Spike has just sullied his name with this crap.
The asian chick that look like Alba is smokin though!
baron davis is an underrated actor
This was filmed before the MTV awards and the tour cancellation.
The funny thing is, this was filmed way before the whole Taylor Swift incident.
Also, that’s Mike Carroll not Steve Berra! YEESH, educate yourself.
this video had to be filmed a long time ago when kanyes hair was longer so i doubt it has anything to do with recent messups
brilliant!
That was terrible until the little bathroom scene at the end, but making a video about him killing a little gremlin thing that lives inside him isn’t gonna change shit about his ego
This was obv filmed awhile ago, because Kanye hasnt had that mullet hair since late last year – early 2009.
Awwww i want one of those little hamsters!!
I loved this, Spike and Kanye are a perfect match. Everything was on point.
Its true he is killing a part of himself, but it goes much further than just his ego. I went into a deeper analysis here: http://nicolasheller.wordpress.com/2009/10/18/1828/
hopefully this comment wont be deleted and people will get a chance to see how I saw the film.
so dope – steve berra knows how to take a beating hahaha.
how could this be marketing? this was shot months ago lol! all of a sudden everybody is a swift fan…fuck outta here with that madness lol
wow!!!! love it love it love it! art yo…..muthafuckin art! genius work!
ERIC KOSTON & MIKE CAROLL! Thats what made this film worth while…..
Loved it……………..Absolutely Loved it
decent.
god, fucking sucked. Just shows how unpleasant Kanye is.
He killed his ego at the end.
yea it looks like so, shotin with a DSLR … and focus give this kind of feeling ..
psych…..?
so he killed his arrogance in the end???
kinda confusing/weird but overall very interesting
wtf… pretty cool, i liked it.
Real dope!
Cool. Looks like they shot it on the Canon 5D/7D Mark II.
Cool
i have to pay for this lol i like this imagery was on point
This is this sad and disturbing.
i enjoyed the start and finish. he needs and needed to be ride of his inner demons (drinking addiction) i like it!.. all tho it was hard to relate because i choose not to drink
i hated how spike shot kanyes close ups. and the sex scene was tasteless imo (maybe im bias because i dont feed into ye’s attention needs hah)
11 minutes of my life…wasted
i know a few people who go out and do this on the regular.
tied into where the wild things are?
what was it all about?
i dont get it…
also, i wonder when this was filmed because it comes at an odd point in kanye’s career what with him canceling his tour with lady gaga and his clothing line.
holy sheit
damn. what the hell is going on. haha kanye is out here man hes on one!
amazing.
whoa tht freaked my shit out
I think its his little marketing thing to recover from what he did to Taylor Swift ( ;
SMH
dam this shit was cold dope
