    "BANKSY" $1,000,000 REWARD Offered By 'CRIMESHOPPERS'!

    I agree with the Skeptical_Skeptic that "EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP" is the best BANKSY documentary; I have 4 about the artist and IMHO its the best of them all.

    Though this is worth watching it only has a few new pieces of content, that are not seen in the other documentary releases, and its a very boringly dull presentation of almost 2 hours (having said that I find, even as an artist myself, that art on the whole is an incredibly mundane, drab and thoroughly one sided misinformation of B***S**t from a few overly wealthy and sad elitists). I think a couple of reviewers have missed the point i.e. "it is about the roots of graffiti" and introduces the early practitioners. It then goes off into introducing the people who merged themselves in with it, for their own reasons/interests etc. Before it gets to last part of dealers stealing art off the public's walls, it emphasises just how impactive his work could be for pointing out the despicable irregularities and wrongs of everyday life.

    He can't be seen in this film (its just an actor I believe) as facial recognition software would identify him straight away and, he would be arrested (from the image I saw I would know who it was without the software...lol).

    I have no idea why he would have done some project with the artist Damien Hirst (artist, for me, is not the choice of word to describe his crap) but he always has a plan. Anyway! He is the most distinctive creative image activist ever, and long may he reign as such, in exposing the both government and financial institutions of self greed!

    Its a better watch than any of the non real, fake and - Dumb you Down - 'REALITY' television shows!

    The system will eat you, eventually...

    I have watched several films about Banksy, the best of which is still Banksy´s own ¨Exit Through the Gift Shop¨. The title of this one is a bit misleading. Rather than ¨Banksy and the Rise of Outlaw Art¨, it might be more accurately called ¨Banksy and the Normalization of Outlaw Art, or: The System Will Eat You, Eventually¨.

    Art in the twentieth century became highly commodified, and there are several insightful films around on that topic, in particular, independent of the case of Banksy. This feature seems to me more informational than artistic, which is fine, if you happen to be looking for a lecture on the history of graffiti and how Banksy became a part of the art world which he once spurned.

    Definitely worth watching

    I think there is a hidden concept cleverly used by Banksy that is being explained in the film.

    Some very good footage and interesting characters.

    Plus a different perspective on art.

    Boring film assumes the value of the subject

    At least with "¨Exit Through the Gift Shop¨" it was a story of intrigue questioning who was trolling who, this one is just platitudes about the value of street art which is questionable by default. A picture is shredded at the end of an auction, how shocking, is it really? Farce participating in farce, which goes along with the lie that most of this is art, if graffiti were as great as the people touting it, they would invite the spray painters to tag their houses.

    Fantastic tribute and Bio of Banksy

    Well, being a native Bristolian and fan of street art since the days of 3D I found this to be very interesting and a powerful insight into Banksy. Haha.. I know many of the people mentioned in this documentary and possibly even the man himself! 10/10!
