Exit Through The Gift Shop; Banksy mind hoax documentary? (on Netflix Play it Now)
    #13718170 - 01/02/11 06:54 AM (13 years, 2 months ago)

When I went to San Francisco in April for the MAPS psychedelics conference, I ended up somewhere and got a flyer for the street art/Banksy documentary and really wanted to see it. I got so caught up in the whirlwind of excitement in the conference, that I wasn't able to make time to see the movie, which I knew would be limited release and hard to catch in the future.


Then a few nights ago I saw Exit Through the Gift Shop (think of any art museum, that's how you get in and out...) as a Play it Now on Netflix. Last night I watched it with my girlfriend and I thought it was great. It had some great footage of underground art, and also showed a lot of how it is done. I got really involved in it. The end of the movie was a bit of a surprise and I think my mind was playing with the concepts over the night as I slept.


Semi-spoiler alert


I woke up thinking, "Man is that really real? Is this some kind of art-prank?"

I went to Google and looked up the artist, and saw that many others thought the same as me.

I'd really be interested to see everyone here's thoughts.
It was a great movie to watch and really gets you thinking about concepts like "art for arts sake" in terms of street art, manipulation the consciousness of the public through endorsements, the art market, just to name a few....

I found this old thread here where people were just hoping to be able to catch the movie and driving 100s of miles to see it. Now anyone with a high speed internet connection can stream it from Netflix :smile:

I saw it and it was cool in many ways but not at all what I expected.

I think its worth seeing but I wouldn't pay money for it.

I liked the last line, something like "Banksy will never do another documentary again."

Its interesting how they say that MBW might be banksy, and I find that theory very likely.
