如果你对这句话心有戚戚焉,那你一定要看这部班克斯的电影:《从礼品店退场》(Exit Through the Gift Shop)。片名是暗指这一类人,看完画展走之前必须得去趟博物馆礼品店,不买个莫奈的围巾、梵高的冰箱贴就好像白来了一样(其实我就是这样的…)。这部打着“班克斯纪录片”名号的电影,其实既没有班克斯的脸,也不能百分之百确定是“纪录片”;而这部模棱两可的“纪录片”,竟然获得了2011年奥斯卡最佳纪录片提名。当然,用这种方式骗班克斯出山是不可能的,即使他赢得奥斯卡,也断然不会去领奖的……

2 ) From IMDB
I believe its the rawest documentary i have ever and WILL ever see in my life. and that by that i mean every single thing you see on film is 100 % genuine and real there is no acting, just "home video" you can call it, and interviews. It's a remarkable story as well, and so special because theres so much footage. I believe Thierry was a mental person, obsessive. and as the narrator said, he finally had a focus (street art) for his passion (filming). And then his focus was Banksy, and then his art show, cause as he said himself, so god damn innocently and blissfully ignorant he says "I did not want to disappoint Banksy"
So he went all out.To comment on the OP's suspicions for funding, Thierry was obviously doing very well, his own designer fashion store in L.A??? You're making a f_cking killing for any retard who doesn't know that. He would turn 50 dollar products into 5000 dollar profits. He took time off to film. And it was mentioned he took out a mortgage from his home (or business, not sure) to finance his art show.
Everything is explained I dont know why the OP is being skeptical. Banksy didnt ask you to film for him because Banksy doesnt know you, but Thierry was referred to from people Banksy trusted.
This has gotta be one of the best movies I have ever seen and its for how incredibly real it is yet truly remarkable at the same time. Somehow this is the thing that Banksy has always tried to avoid and now all of a sudden he's turning into what he was never about, and he did it himself so inadvertently.
But this is good for him, he just shouldnt advertise for himself the way MBW did.
But yeah, why bother pondering, just take it for what it is and enjoy it. love this movie
t(ò_ót) Double Deuce!
3 ) The art hype
I like a comment I read on MUBI--"What this documentary really shows us is how a pure art form, a pure movement, will almost inevitably become a parody devoid of its original meaning." I like Banksy's comment at the end--"Maybe it means art is a bit of a joke."
What was the film about?--"The film is the story of what happened when this guy tried to make a documentary about me (Banksy), but he was actually a lot more interesting than I am, so now the film is kind of about him."
Footage by Thierry Guetta aka Mr BrainWash, a-proprietor-of-a-clothing-store-and-an-amateur-videographer-turned-artist, directed by Banksy, the England-based graffiti artist, at first glance this film seems to be documenting graffiti art, but truly is about how Thierry became MBW, and what the art is for the creator/has become for everyone who reads it/seems to be for the establishment of the art world/might become in art history, and the meaningfulness and meaninglessness of this phenomenon.
In the film, Banksy commented about Thierry, "He's kind of the rightful heir to Andy Warhol, in a way. Andy Warhol made a statement by repeating famous icons until they became meaningless, but he was extremely iconic in the way that he did it. But then Thierry really made them meaningless."
但泰瑞作品和真正的街头艺术的最大的区别是,艺术是纯粹、理想、个性化的,真正的街头艺术家以整个城市为画布,在夜里东奔西跑,不是为了出名和挣钱,而是一种生活方式,是为了有趣,实现自己的想法,还记得泰瑞在跟拍一个女艺术家时问她想出名吗?她说,shut the fuck up.而泰瑞批量生产的艺术品,从一开始就是为了出名、赚钱,他的作品只是一种包装成街头艺术,包装成理想和纯粹的商品。 这也是让Banksy等人最尴尬的地方,大众根本不在乎是不是真的艺术作品,不在乎你有没有倾注心血,即使批量生产的东西也可卖天价,只要你会包装宣传,你就会被冠名为大艺术家。所以Banksy最后说,或许艺术本身就是个玩笑。
打五星是為了機器口音的banksy!!!
一件皇帝的新衣。
太好看,多处喜感憋不住笑场。尤其神出鬼没的涂鸦大神Banksy如江洋大盗般悄然潜入美术馆,不为窃取而是将自己的涂鸦作品偷偷黏在那些古典名画之间时。与Banksy这样的神鬼天才比,Thierry 不过是投机敛财的艺术商人与批量制造的工厂主,徒具沃霍外壳而已。Thierry的成功,正如Banksy所言:是个joke。
他是一个有艺术细胞的生意人。
其实那摄影师开始还挺可爱的,最后靠Banksy的广告居然也成了当代艺术家了,真正可笑的是那些盲目追捧的观众
什么才是他妈的艺术,普通民众就是知道他妈的跟风。
Is it a hoax if it's also art?三星
Documentary or Mocumentary? 一个摄像强迫症法国人、Banksy和其他一些热爱街头涂鸦的人们,然后法国人被涮了……配乐的五首歌都好欢乐,老子又一次natural high了……tonight the streets are ours!!!
始终保持神秘的班克斯显然更吸引人。
其实光就看看那些个作品也挺值当的
How things get out of control.
一度怀疑Banksy怎么会如此无聊的拍这么个小丑,后来看评论说怀疑 Thierry Guetta 就是Banksy本人/团队成员,或者整个洗脑先生的闹剧就是Banksy授意的,深以为然,毕竟这太Banksy了
is this a hoax????
逊。土鳖风格刮旋风,美国人民好糊弄。
又想起自己09年深夜在林化所和南林大校园里的两次涂鸦经历。我性格最大弱点之一就是浅尝辄止,好高骛远。看这部电影又燃起来了,2013 winter, let's get back on the street!
我其实很欣赏班克斯的态度和创作风格,相比而言泰瑞更是一个急功近利的商人,班克斯其实是在吐槽,只不过保持荒诞不经的英式幽默,不露脸的电子音,这个神秘人用一部纪录片轻松又不露痕迹地嘲讽了对方。片子三星,给班克斯加一星。
泰瑞就是个小人得志的典型代表 根本就不是班克斯的个人纪录片
其实,看看很多在成名或已著名的艺术家,翻翻家底其实都是Theirry!
人人都可以成为艺术家。
表现街头涂鸦的记录片,剧情发展有些出乎意料,像一场闹剧。街头涂鸦到底是艺术还是本身就是闹剧呢?!
