Exit through the Gift Shop Analysis Questions

1. I feel as though this movie was a bit genuine and a bit of a mockumentary, The reason i feel it was genuine was because it shows it was actually produced by Banksy. And it was about something he has a real interest in. The reason I think it was a mockumentary was because after Mr. Brainwash started doing his art show instead of him doing the art himself like most of the other graffiti  artists do he paid all these people to do the art for him and he was the one who got the fame and fortune for something he didn't do. 

2. The message that the street artists were across to the public was that graffiti is not just something they do for fun it is something they actually care about. And they do their art with an actual message behind it unlike Thierry does. 


3. I think Mr. Brainwash was trying to show people that although graffiti is nice and creative it doesn't always have to have a message behind the art piece itself.


4. The street artists work actually has meaning to it and it usually has a message whereas Mr.BrainWash's work is meaningless and it is repetitive with just a few differences. Also Banksy made his art show interesting whereas Mr.Brainwash never even chose where to put the pieces of art himself. 

5. The reason the line was so long was because of Banksy and Shepard Fairey promoting the event and that all the people knew how amazing their art work is because they have held their own art shows and they have been pretty successful. The reason so many people came together was that they wanted to see this art show promoted by Fairey and Banksy.  


6. I think graffiti is art to a point the only reason i would say that it is not a piece of art is when they cross a line and start doing on people's house without their permission or if they do it to someone else's personal items against that person's will. If someone painted my wall without my permission i would not be too happy because i would have probably been okay with it if they did ask. I think that Shepard Fairey and Banksy are not sellouts, they did what they loved and now they are making money selling their pieces of legally although Banksy still continues to do graffiti. Similarities between Guerilla Marketing and  graffiti is that they both have a unique way of getting their message across to the people in the surrounding area.
