Interesting but really really sad

I love his guerrilla style & the commentary/critique that comes with it. Lots of cool stuff in this documentary, but what it mainly does is expose what fckng garbage humanity is. The "Banksy hunters" are cute, the jealous taggers are pathetic, but everyone else in this thing seeks to capitalize off Banksy's name & it is absolutely sickening. But I guess that's the message here. This might as well be titled: "Parasitic Twats: NY Edition".

That was Banksy's working title but it didn't pass the censors.

I think that was the point.. he only made the catalyst for the art, to see how people would react and it brought a lot of good and a lot of bad. It brought communities together to have fun and enjoy it at times, it brought people out who sought to destroy it, but it also brought out people who tried to restore it with wet-wipes. It brought out people who tried to benefit financially from it, but it also did good for some causes. I also really enjoyed that he was happy to make fun of the art snobs as well as himself!
