What an incredible documentary or should I say mockumentary??
Major SPOILERS!!!
So the film is believed to be an attempt from Thierry Guetta to make a documentary about street art and all those great artists that the movement created. Suddenly, here comes Banksy, the greatest of them all. Guetta documents Banksy's great moments and fails to create a meaningful documentary, then Banksy asks Guetta to make his own art show and Banksy then documents the moment where Guetta goes from an amateur film maker into a successful street artist and ends the documentary with a big bang in that gallery show.
My question is, was this really what happened???
This is what I think, the whole documentary is an actual mockumentary of street art and how ridiculously fake it is nowadays. How everyone steals from everybody and the fake artists make all the money because the "real" artists are not a sell out. I really really think that Banksy scripted the WHOLE thing!!! Everything!! From the moment it began to the end. I really think that Guetta is a great actor. I mean, the whole thing is a setup to show us about the big art show and how commercialized and fake it really is. And to see the people's reaction during the art show and how everyone will just give a positive review because they go with the flow since it is the popular opinion. I mean, people were head over heels over Mr Brain Wash.... who is a total farce. Every painting that we get to see in that gallery is a modified replica of all the street artists that we get to see from the beginning of the film. I really think that Banksy made all these paintings for Guetta and for the mockumentary and for everyone to fall for the hoax.
Its brilliant, I fuckin loved it. Didn't everyone felt weird about the art show. Like we wanted to thing it was good but at the same time KNOW that it is really bad?? Banksy did this on purpose. He freaking scripted EVERYTHING!!! From begininng to end. From Guetta finding artists to Guettas fake documentary to his fake art show that made him a shit load of money.
A great film about the end of street art. Fuckin Genius
p.s. I may me wrong but who knows?? Maybe we will get a clue during the Oscars.
