Exit Through The Gift Shop | A must see movie by renowned graffiti artist: BANSKY
This movie gets FIVE MINDS.
“No matter what you are into, this movie is a must see!”
Mother’s Day 2010 was great. I bought my mom a card, a bouquet of flowers, and a nice broach that she liked. We went to breakfast at The Grove on Fillmore, an independent movie at the Embarcadero Theatre, and bowling in the Presidio. It all made my mom very happy and that is what Mother’s Day is all about. But the real highlight surprise for me was the movie my mom chose to see. It was called “Exit Through The Gift Shop” by world renowned graffiti artist BANSKY. My mom chose a graff movie!? Awesome!! After all those years of her disciplining me for sneaking out of the house in the morning or staying out late from bombing, and now she wants to see a graff movie. Go figure. My mom has really evolved and I love that about her.
In short the movie is about this savant/genius type frenchman by the name of Thierry Guetta who has always been obsessed with filming every moment of his life. He films his family, his friends, his work, everything. One day he travels back to France to visit family and discovers his cousin is a street artist by the name of “Space Invader”. He becomes passionate about filming his cousin doing art and winds up meeting many of the worlds underground street artists like Sheppard Fairey, SWOON, ZEVS, etc. He films them all. He goes on missions with them. He climbs buildings and billboards and even helps them carry their tools and install their art on walls. Basically he becomes the the unofficial filmmaker to the worlds street artists. He may even become one himself.
No matter what you are into, My Mind Spray recommends you watch “Exit Through The Gift Shop”. It’s a must see and we give it FIVE MINDS.
Below is the first five minutes of the movie for your viewing pleasure. If you don’t see this movie in your lifetime, I can’t do nothing else for you.
