Exit Through The Gift Shop - film on (BANKSY)
- Thread starter Grapes Of Wrath
- Start date
Supposed to be a movie about Banksy - it isn't. Can't tell if this is an elaborate joke, an expose on the sham the "street art is", or for real. No matter which it is the movie still sucked major. Showed very little of the art. I don't have anything positive to say about this movie other than I was able to finish it. .5 out of 5
I liked it, but it took a noticeable turn from documentary to Christopher Guestish mockumentary when Thierry becomes *spoiler*
an artist himself. I totally believed every detail about the story until that moment arrived where i was to assume that Banksy was pissed about being shammed into providing a sentence about MBW.
And the narrator was too feature filmish, like he should have been narrating a fairy tale come to life ala Disney Channel.
I felt kind of cheated at the end and the film lost its magic for me.
If it IS fake, then Banksy is a sellout, and looking back at his work, that's a shame because he was doing things in art that shook the worlds comfort level.
3/5

This quote sums things up pretty nice for me:
