Helplessly said "but not now"

I think the biggest climax of this film is probably when Banksy used a mysterious voice change and the black figure to say to the camera, "I used to encourage others to engage in art, and even said, I don't think anyone All need to engage in art, but, but not now, I don’t even know if art is really meaningful, maybe it’s just a joke, and I don’t know”
This should be the biggest crisis brought by Pop Art. A joke-like art cannot be copied, the creator enjoys fame and fortune, but it is indeed an art that does not need followers, because it is just a joke made by Pop artists and the public.
And those who deeply realize that the public will never try to understand art, in desperation, what else can they say, I think I will say "maybe it's a joke, but I know in my heart" the
documentary is very emotional It shows us the difference between an artist and a speculator, yes, yes, everyone is an artist, and anyone can be an artist, so when a self-proclaimed director says he wants to play street art , the public is of course shocked by its positive energy (I am really surprised that MBW actually said that he is a film director in an interview. A person who knows how to package himself really does not need self-knowledge, just blind arrogance), This should be the biggest failure of art.
That's right, art does come from life, and those artists from a few centuries or more than a dozen centuries ago are just some high-level craftsmen. But what is the meaning? I mean meaning.
If art is just for the sake of being different and detached from a person's original heart, then what is the difference between people and slaves under such art.
It is said that there is an artist first and then there is art. This sentence is the sentence I believe the most. Yes, art itself is meaningless, just a bunch of sensory symbols. This also resonated with me as Banksy said, and he said, "A lot of street art lovers have spent a few years to hone their skills and find their own style, while MBW directly Skip this step, I don't know if he's a genius or just luck, I don't know"
The emotional tendencies of the entire documentary can be seen from this, alas, those who are still appreciating MBW and ignoring that this is not what the documentary really wants to express, you are not being played by such art.

    It's so good-looking, I can't help but laugh in many places. Especially when Banksy, the magical graffiti god, sneaks into the museum like a Jiang Yang thief, not stealing but secretly sticking his graffiti works between those classical paintings. Compared with geniuses like Banksy, Thierry is nothing more than a speculative art merchant and a mass-manufacturing factory owner, with only a Warhol shell. Thierry's success, as Banksy said: it was a joke.

    I didn't know what this movie was going to be about before. I watched it in the mood to give it a try. It was a pleasant surprise. It was totally unexpected~ I love it~~

Exit Through the Gift Shop quotes

  • Banksy: There's no one like Thierry, even though his art looks like everyone else's.

  • Banksy: Warhol repeated iconic images until they became meaningless, but there was still something iconic about them. Thierry really makes them meaningless.
