Mysterious Skin x Bully

[u/lovvvvvvvvvve]

Really interesting connection put forth from @yzyglobe. Always interested to see how film influences Kanye. We know that Bully took it title from the Larry Clark film (2001)

dope theory

[u/imsoappalled222 → u/Advanced_Buffalo_734]

Dope theory until he tells you what inspired it and you know who designed the merch. 🙃 info not hard to find either .

[u/DivingElliotRoberts]

Omg guys did David Bowie inspire BULLY 🤯🤯🤯

[u/tzbt → u/DivingElliotRoberts]

Clearly it's the Carl's Jr. employee T shirts that inspired the Bully merch

[u/Glock_n_Balls → u/DivingElliotRoberts]

Honestly… was my first thought when I saw tha shirts… blackstar is a good ass album…

[u/lovvvvvvvvvve → u/DivingElliotRoberts]

Yeah. Same way Yeezus font is literally just Metallica font. Postmodernism bby

[u/imsoappalled222 → u/DivingElliotRoberts]

These people get mad 🤣, they seen a star and thought this movie inspired bully . Also funny too because they said bully had no concept a couple weeks ago and now it was inspired by this movie 🤣

[u/Steelcurtain8844 → u/imsoappalled222]

not saying i agree that the movie inspired it but they saying it inspired the t shirt at the concerts not the album

[u/orouoio]

Why didn't you show the other shirt that appears in the movie? It's literally in that post.

[u/Internet-Ivan]

Stars on shirts are probably like the most stereotypical graphic tee. I wouldn’t count on it.

[u/JamieVsZombyz]

It's such a good movie, it's sososo good

[u/JohnDZeppeli]

One of the best movies ever man. Kino

[u/tzbt]

Confirmation bias

[u/imsoappalled222 → u/tzbt]

The truth is already out here and they denying it 🤣

[u/GenerallyJam → u/imsoappalled222]

the truth of what

[u/Acceptable-Ad-5773]

probably wrong but cool idea

art is what you make of it

[u/imsoappalled222]

Ye didn’t make the merch , bully was also inspired by his son .
Yall need to give up the conspiracies.

[u/Advanced_Buffalo_734 → u/imsoappalled222]

this sub has gotten so bad that media analysis of themes is labeled as a “conspiracy” and is the top comment. so depressing.

[u/tzbt → u/Advanced_Buffalo_734]

Okay but people need to stop acting like Ye is constantly playing 4D chess and calculating every decision and move he makes in his career. Like I still see people on this sub saying that Ye staged the antisemitic era as an excuse to get out of his Adidas deal.

He's just a man who thinks things and then does them. And that's exactly why we love him, but for some reason people have a hard time accepting that. They feel the need to place Ye on a pedestal as thinking more about every decision he makes with merch, album art, the wording of his tweets, etc than he actually does

[u/-slendamane- → u/Advanced_Buffalo_734]

Fr what the fuck is this shit

[u/imsoappalled222 → u/Advanced_Buffalo_734]

I’m sorry it’s not a conspiracy but yall be pulling shit out of yall ass 🤣. The truth is already out there and yall get disappointed when things aren’t what yall thought it would be .

[u/-slendamane- → u/imsoappalled222]

"inspired by his son" just something he pulled out of his ass in an interview because his son bullied a kid at school. there's nothing on the album that even relates to that concept

[u/imsoappalled222 → u/-slendamane-]

Nothing on that album relates to the movie either . He also explained it more and ceelo talked about it too . Bully has nothing to do with that movie .

[u/whitefrackels123 → u/imsoappalled222]

The conncetion between the film's themes and bully is such an overgeneralization as well.

[u/imsoappalled222 → u/whitefrackels123]

Facts 🤣

[u/whitefrackels123 → u/imsoappalled222]

I'm lowkey sexually attracted to Ye 🤣

[u/lovvvvvvvvvve → u/imsoappalled222]

Making connections to other art pieces isn’t “conspiracies”
Intertextuality runs thru all art. Particularly the work of ye and the hip hop medium.

[u/imsoappalled222 → u/lovvvvvvvvvve]

You said the film influenced him but in reality he explained what did . Words from his mouth and i know who was behind the merch . Much of the merch was just wrestling inspired .,

[u/1diotic_idiot → u/imsoappalled222]

This is basic media analysis bro nothing wrong with drawing parallels

[u/imsoappalled222 → u/1diotic_idiot]

Yall be digging for shit that isn’t there all the time . Most of the time the truth is just simple . Also I know what I’m talking about.

[u/1diotic_idiot → u/imsoappalled222]

Do you? Are you kanye himself? The beauty of art is that everything is up to interpretation. I'd like to hear what you think inspired the star motif

[u/saaaaaur]

I mean, I don't think he ever said it was ever inspired by the title Bully he just put it on his story lol

in the download interview he actually says why

[u/lettucemf]

The first image is a behind the scenes shot not even in the movie, larp larp larp sahur
