My Review-
I have always liked to watch documentaries, ones that really caught my interest. this documentary was recommend to me by different people, and i finally watched it today and learned a lot about street art that i did not know before. I have heard of the names Shepard Fairey, and Banksy, and that they're well known in the graffiti art world, in this documentary we learn how the art is put up on the streets all being filmed by a man named Thierry Guetta; who seems a little big crazy which in my opinion he is. Here we learn how most of the artists got their start in the street art world, and what they go through to see their art shown, which was really interesting to me. Through all the documentation of this film, from putting up a blow up doll at isneyland and getting caught by the Disneyland police about the incident, but it seemed like it was mostly about Guetta and how he was filming the artists, who himself eventually became an artist. this documentary was also to show how big graffiti art has become today. there is debate on whether this documentary is real or not, but i think it is up to the view to decide that for themselves.
