BANKSY Film "Exit Through The Gift Shop", by bristolboy on Mar 11, 2010 10:41:32 GMT 1, So we've figured out Banksy is 2ft 8" tall, sometimes wears a silver bracelet though sometimes does'nt, he's homosexual, was once married and maybe still is, talks with his hands not his mouth, emits a robotic sound and is afraid of jewllers. Its obvious whoever is looking for him cant be trying hard enough.

BANKSY Film "Exit Through The Gift Shop", by baileymontana on Mar 11, 2010 11:17:17 GMT 1, Saw the film on Tuesday. I didn't like Mr Brainwash before and I slightly changed my mind on him as a person but still think the art is too derivitive. He took on everything he learnt and maximised the profit without the hardwork or talent. I think there's some quote from Warhol about art being about business and MBW showed himself to be a clever business man. Getting Banksy and Fairey to give the quotes was a serious business move.
I thought Banksy came across well. Though feel iis world has conflict in it now. I see legal posters for the film all round Brighton and as I liked the film it doesn't bother me (in fact my local greasy spoon just let me take the poster they had inside). These adverts must make the likes of Team Robbo feel they have point.
I went to see the film with a friend who is not particularly interested in Street Art or Banksy and he really enjoyed the film. I think the story of Street Art and Banksy combined with MBW's rise is an interesting story....the American Dream for MBW and possibly a British Nightmare for Banksy.

BANKSY Film "Exit Through The Gift Shop", by PUD on Mar 11, 2010 11:26:26 GMT 1, Another thing I was thinking about the other day  With the film creating a lot of interest over the coming months, will Banksy in some ways be forced to release more prints that he might have done otherwise, due to if people cant buy work by him, they might see Mr Brainwash as an alternative? I should think Brainwash will release loads of work to cash in on the media coverage
LOL Banksy will never be 'forced' to do anything he doesn't want, it wouldn't matter if Warhol raised from the dead and sold new prints, anything that Banksy brought out would still sell in a heartbeat!! He doesn't need to change who he is or what he does for others!!

So do you think it would be good for the scene if Banksy released no new prints until say next Christmas, and Mr Brainwash released two prints per month for the next year?

BANKSY Film "Exit Through The Gift Shop", by stickitup on Mar 11, 2010 14:54:29 GMT 1, never really paid any attention to MBW before but he is verging on being a genius, the film didnt exactly paint him in a great light but it did paint him in a successful light making him something people have to have, wholely on the back of banksy and the film. I ended up liking the guy and whilst its not correct to say you want one of his pieces of work they do have the charm of an excentric cutting and pasting a series of half baked ideas to make something interesting, even if its not great art. SF looked to get a ride on this banksy train, and personally i dont find his work particularly inspiring and having seen the film my opinion of him is the same.

BANKSY Film "Exit Through The Gift Shop", by nex on Mar 11, 2010 14:59:04 GMT 1, 'A genius (plural genii or geniuses,[1] adjective ingenious) is a person, a body of work, or a singular achievement of surpassing excellence. More than just originality, creativity, or intelligence, genius is associated with achievement of insight which has transformational power. A work of genius fundamentally alters the expectations of its audience. Genius may be generalized, or be particular to a discrete field such as sports, statesmanship, science, or art.
Although difficult to quantify, genius is to a level of aptitude, capability, or achievement which exceeds even that of most other exceptional contemporaries in the same field. The normal distribution suggests that the term might be applied to phenomena ranked in the top 0.1%, i.e. three standard deviations or greater, among peers. In psychology, the inventor of the first IQ tests, Alfred Binet, applied the term to the top 0.1% of those tested.[2][3] This usage of the term is closely related to the general concept of intelligence.'

BANKSY Film "Exit Through The Gift Shop", by rosstierney on Mar 12, 2010 0:07:16 GMT 1, Oh come on guys...you couldn't see the mouth so why say it wasn't coming from his mouth. I'm sure he's got 20 minutes to spare for his appearance in the movie, don't look for a reason for him not to. No conspiracy, no other person...just Banksy. There isn't even really a point questioning it, it there? 
body language! i've got no reason to conspire. i argued the fact that it was him but i still find the suggestion interesting, especially when more than one person suggests.

Thought Thierry did a good job during the Disneyland incident, that could have ended up pretty bad.

If MBW releases 2 prints a month he will soon burn out (he will burn out anyway) I think if Banksy released 2 prints a month they would sell but it wouldn't really do him any favors in the long run, it would just water down the portfolio and the day a Banksy print is worth less than the issue price is the day the whole 'Banksy' effect comes tumbling down.
MBW can release as many prints as he wants, it won't change my opinion about his so called 'art' I wont be joining the hype bandwagon and buying crap work just to be part of the crowd, like many others on here I was buying Banksy work long before he became a household name - I have never bought to make money and I aint starting now.
MBW's 'art' won't 'hurt the scene' in the long run, but the film could!!!!!

Really?  I think MBW can damage the scene if his work is some peoples first look at this area of the art world
As I have said before, I think the film is a very risky move  you could set out to make a film to tell a fun story about this crazy bloke called Mr Brainwash ;D but its could be viewed differently by people from other backgrounds and thats when it could backfire on the whole scene.

Agreed, as soon as people realize that this movie takes the mickey out of the very people watching/buying 'art' then it could all come crashing down. That probably won't happen though as people are too thick to see the wood from the trees.
What won't ever change is the work on the street, it will always be there in some form or another and with all due respect that is why this forum exists, admittedly it has grown since there has been money to make but the true street art admirer will still be here once the passengers have got off!!

Yeah, looked like they might have hours and hours worth of street footage that was not used in the film. Bit of luck Thierry wasn't working undercover for the police
