In a production wrought with powerful imagery, the Michael Jackson procession scene in Kanye West’s film debut, “Runaway,” is among the most impactful and intriguing.
Around seven minutes into the movie, which centers on the ill-fated romance between West’s character, Griffin, and a phoenix played by Selita Ebanks, fireworks herald a parade of a crimson-clad marching band flanked by a mob of followers sporting pointed hoods reminiscent of the garb worn by the Ku Klux Klan. The band surrounds a larger-than-life illuminated bust of the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, while Griffin and the phoenix excitedly look on.
