Artists' dilemma

I remember at the beginning of the film Thierry interviewed a female artist and asked her if she wanted to be famous. The other party answered shut the fuck up.

Maybe it's not just that Thierry wants to pursue fame and fortune. If that's the case, he would have done it already, no need Wait 10 years, and this idea is still banksy to inspire him. .

As Thierry's staff said, Thierry is very retro (he was just taking pictures at Disney and got caught, but the real implementer, Banksy, escaped.. And the way he manages the staff is also very different.. ) does not have any artistic talent, but such people succeeded in the end, and the onlookers who did not know the truth still praised them one after another, which made people speechless O__O"...

But are those "artists" really completely innoccent? In the film , Shepard Fairey's attitude is the most sincere. Banksy is a genius. He must have seen that Thierry is not an artistic material, but he agreed to Thierry's shooting, showed him counterfeit money, and went to Disney to commit crimes together. The best partners of smart people are often those reliable retinas..such as Harry and Ron, Sherlock Holmes and Watson..But Banksy casually gave this retina a suggestion and asked him to start an art show..This retina is Seriously, decided to be the same as his idol! When the result was really sensational, Banksy came out to speak again..

There is also a spokesperson for Banksy, anyway, it is the attitude of someone around him. People are a little upset. When he went to guide Thierry's art show, he put on an expert attitude, and said that Thierry saw someone else doing an art show, and he wanted to do one himself, but he didn't have any knowledge about it. This person Who is he? Thinking that he has become an artist himself after being involved with celebrities?

Of course, these attitudes more or less stem from the little sense of imbalance that a person like Thierry can bring to fame and fortune. . Of course, when I watched the second half of the movie, I also disliked Thierry, just as I disliked those people in the society who lacked professional knowledge but were prosperous in related industries. I also admired space invaders like a group of silent and quiet people. Coquettish artists

but I have my reservations about Banksy being so high-profile and veiled. . Although I appreciate his artistic talent and cool style~

PS: Banksy explained at the beginning of the film that this is a documentary about Thierry, those reviewers who thought it was Banksy's documentary can wash and sleep O(∩_∩)O~

    banksy has long been a legend. This fake documentary film inherits his usual graffiti style and satirizes the media and the public who are easily incited by the police. Artists and artworks are products of hype. This film has crossed from the creative form of street artists to performance art. This year's Taiwanese documentary double

    The art-commercial system dissolves everything, including all resistance. It does not suppress you, but holds you. When it respects your resistance and sarcasm, your efforts suddenly become powerless. Just like when you scolded the village party secretary, the village party secretary took you to the village radio station and gave you a subsidy of 30 yuan a day, making you shout at 9 to 5, and your scolding would lose its strength, and would only be forgotten and talked to. neglect. In the face of this logic, no matter how awesome the artist is
