A "documentary" on street art

Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010)

Ok first of all street art and graffiti. I hate em. I mean, sure there are some brilliant works that I wouldn't mind seeing every day if possible, but the thing is that there are too many retards who take that whole "the world is my canvas" thing too easily. Then we see these butt ugly "drawings" in every wall and basicly every thing on the streets. I would much rather look at a boring blank wall than a boring wall with ugly scrawls and scribble all around it. So that said lets look at this film. It's very entertaining and very though provoking in a good way. The underlying message this film is bringing out is criticism against commercialising street art. It fails miserably in it as the maker of this film, Banksy, is the highest selling street artist in the world. But that didn't matter at all, as the other and the real underlying message this film gives out is even better. Don't believe everything you see. This is supposed to be a documentary and seeing some reviews of it, people seem to believe it actually is. But this is bullshit, just too many small bits don't add up in it to be believable. And that's what makes it brilliant. You could so easily believe it to be true, but if you look close enough you see the prank is on you. And that raises the point of the documentary format being the modern way of propaganda. Put anything in a convincing documentary format and everyone believes it to be true. Something worth while to think about when you see the next Michael Moore documentary or what ever. Why not whole 100 percent then if it's simply brilliant? Well, there is that thought creeping in that maybe these guys just were trying to say commercialising street art is bad, and nothing more...
