what is art

The movie Exit through the gift shop is about a French clothing vendor and amateur videographer who lives in the United States. Tierry has spent many years following street graffiti artists, but his videography is just a hobby. Nor can it be edited into an interesting movie. In the end, Banksy, a British street artist, decided to come forward and make a video about the Frenchman. He encouraged Tierry to engage in street art. Unexpectedly, Tierry's ambition is not small, he actually repackaged himself as Mr. Brainwash, created an unprecedented scale of personal modern art exhibition in LA, and his paintings also sold for high prices. Most people think that Tierry has a problem with his brain, that he has not received any artistic training, and that he is just not happy to help him. However, after he succeeded, he really regarded himself as an artist, and he was a recognized artist. He prides himself on comparing him to Banksy. The street artists he followed in the past now feel a little sour now. As can be seen from the film, it is difficult to say that Tierry is not artistic, but what he really has is a business acumen. The film ends up making artists who feel serious about themselves question the seriousness of what they're doing.

The clever thing about this movie is that after watching it, you don't know if it's a documentary or not, and you vaguely feel that Banksy may be entertaining everyone again. If it doesn't work out, it's actually a deliberate attempt by him to oppose street art entering formal commercial channels. Mr. Brainwash may be a fictional character. In the movie, he actually opposes those seemingly artistic and avant-garde petty bourgeoisie who chase after them like stars who live in the dark and don't want to show their faces. This is probably the helplessness of artists. True artists do not necessarily regard fame as their ideal, and those who want to become famous are not necessarily artists. But with the popularity of the public, those who are not artists also feel that they have become artistic. The filming is a bit messy, but if you look at it calmly, you can see what the author wants to say. But this topic is really difficult to decide, just like Mr. Brainwash's plan, the more you do it, the more clueless you are. However, art just doesn't have a fixed format, and having no clue doesn't mean it's not good-looking.

This film is a reminder to the petty bourgeoisie that if you like an artist, people may not like you. roll! Hey-hey.

The funniest thing is that this film has a scene from an Irish exhibition. There is actually my old Irish buddy who has been separated for a few years. It's not a short shot. The biggest characteristic of this dude is that he likes to join in the fun, and of course he is a little bit sneezed. We went out to play together, and when he saw that there was a lot of fun to watch, he could come over and watch it for a long time, forgetting us all. This time, he can be considered to have come up with results. In the movie he wore a red dress and smiled at the camera. Haha, his expression is too typical, thinking that he was such an inconspicuous little fat man, how many beautiful women he killed in seconds with this expression. After graduation he returned to Ireland and I forgot his email. As a result, the last time I took my friend to the art exhibition with no problem, we bumped into him unexpectedly. I hurriedly asked for his email, only to lose it on the way home.

    I also remembered my two graffiti experiences in the Linhua Institute and Nanlin University campus late at night in 2009. One of the biggest weaknesses of my character is that I have a taste for nothing, so ambitious. Watching this movie is on fire again, 2013 winter, let's get back on the street!
