I don't have a problem with one artist being inspired by another artist, but what Mr Brainwash did was simply copying.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17419133053285491979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-52009075077429761622011-03-08T05:22:24.137-08:002011-03-08T05:22:24.137-08:00Maybe it's only normal to try and want to cash...Maybe it's only normal to try and want to cash in on something (that worked for Andy Warhol), so perhaps I'm being too harsh on Mr Brianwash in my review ( : <br />He after all has the right to do what he wants with his exibition. <br /><br />It does get a bit murky if it was illigal street art, though.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-34651003540218368232011-03-08T05:06:10.757-08:002011-03-08T05:06:10.757-08:00@ Minoccio : Thanks for the comment, yes, the film...@ Minoccio : Thanks for the comment, yes, the film really gets you thinking about our culture, doesn't it. I think what you say about the music buisness applies to many areas,in movies for example, Bond inspired Austin powers, and that inspired johnny english. The succes of "The Queen" with Helen Mirren no doubt made "the kings speech" happen.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-34898386932257354762011-03-08T01:07:20.669-08:002011-03-08T01:07:20.669-08:00As much as I found Mr. Brainwash annoying, I enjoy...As much as I found Mr. Brainwash annoying, I enjoyed Exit Through the Gift Shop. Maybe my comparison will be too shallow, but it reminds me of how every once in a few years a good musician (or band) comes up with his creative and innovative ideas, and redefines the whole genre he performs in, and then all the less-talented musicians try to copy him and turn his ideas into pop culture. Talking about what's real, and what's not in this documentary, who ever said that choosing what footage to show distorts reality had a point.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17419133053285491979noreply@blogger.com
