Exit Through the Gift Shop

This is one of those movies which are kinda hard to describe to people because it doesn't do it any justice.

I'm a sucker for really "fun" documentaries. I love watching things such as Super Size Me and Thank You for Smoking. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then you clearly haven't seen those other two films.

The film focuses on Street Artists, notably Banksy, who also directed the film. Below you can see a couple pieces of his work.

I liked this film a lot, and it made me a lot more aware that street art can actually be quite political and intelligent, rather then nothing more than gang symbols and promotion of violence.

This film raises another very important question. What separates graffiti from art? Please reply with your opinion. (I'm looking at you, ender.)
