EXIT Through The Gift Shop...The Actual Movie

Exit Through The Gift Shop was very interesting. It was a great movie overall and I would have to say that the part that caught my attention most was probably when he was going around just recoding artists' and the work they were posting up on walls.

I think that street art is about showing your feelings through art and earning street credit slowly.Thierry became an overnight sensation by using the real street artists’ styles who allowed him to film them.  He not only became a hit because of these artists’ promotional quotes and emails for his show, but by following their directions he ended up the star of his own documentary. Thierry owes everything to these artists because he in a way just stole their style. he took the specific art pieces of many others and just changes the color or the way they lookinor wat characters were in it but they still had the same theme. Mr. Brainwash sounded ridiculous to me,although like he said he kind of brainwashed people with his artwork he did not really creat it himself. The fact that he then started selling these paintings for thousands of dollars really ticked me off because if i had the time i would definately be able to take someone else's ideas and creat art from them and sell them as well.
