Exit Through the Gift Shop

I'm continuing my "I've been meaning to see this movie, and now that I have free Netflix for a month, I'm going to catch up on these films" goal, and can now check out Exit Through the Gift Shop off the list. If you don't already know about BANKSY, you should probably take a second to google search him and look at his artwork. It's pretty hilarious and awesome. Now that we are all caught up on that, you can now check out his film if you haven't already done so. Exit Through the Gift Shop doesn't solely focus on the work of BANKSY, like you would think (since when the initial buzz about it was floating around, you got the impression that the film would be focused on him). Instead it follows various street artists such as Invader, Shepard Fairey (of Obey fame), and the main man of the film Mister Brainwash. It's a hilarious documentary, and I can definitely see why there was such buzz around it. I've been a fan of BANKSY's artwork for a while, and it was cool to see a different view in the work of street artists, as well as hear a more descriptive account of his infamous Abu Ghraib Disneyland installation (you can view the original footage I saw of it here: BANKSY Disneyland). Anyhoo... I won't get into specifics about the documentary, but I will definitely suggest that if you haven't checked it out, you should definitely do so. Here is the preview for the film: Exit Through the Gift Shop, though this doesn't really paint a clear picture of what you'll get by watching the film. Check it out!
