-The main film is not about Banksy, but how a person who likes to shoot videos enters the street arts circle to become a famous'artist', to highlight the paradoxical relationship between business and street arts today.

-The story is actually very interesting. , It's quite narrative. But it's not very impactful, so the main film is just not bad, it's definitely not a very good movie.

-The film also introduces several famous street artists, such as Space Invader, Banksy, etc., can see their precious creative process, even though it is only a few shots, it is still very enjoyable.-

There is also a short film about Banksy in less than 15 minutes on the disc, which is worth watching.

He's really like a... I think he's really like a... I really liked him!
