Kanye West's 'Jesus is King' film reveals the next stage of his artistic development and personal evolution.
... [+]If you’ve had the pleasure of seeingin theaters, then you don’t need me to explain the majesty of the film’s opening scene. The film begins with the now-infamous sequence of a pack of hominids wandering an African desert millions of years ago. After one of them uses a bone to kill a fellow hominid, this early version of man throws the bone up into the air. Then the movie flashes forward millions of year as the bone becomes a spaceship.
The massive jump in time is meant to highlight how far man has progressed...yet how the prospect of progression remains equally daunting. Man in 2019 is far more advanced than the apes from millions of years ago—yet, our accomplishments millions of years from now will dwarf our discoveries from today. Each stage of development is a brief stop in time, a step towards the next stage of our collective evolution.
“If spring can take the snow away/Can it melt away all of our mistakes?/Memories made in the coldest winter/Goodbye my friend I won't ever love again/Never again.”
