The film, "Exit Through The Gift Shop", directed by famed street artist Banksy, was in my opinion, a good film. Though there were only a couple of instances in which he used pathos, a technique that appeals to a lot of teenagers, and used a lot more of the other techniques, I still enjoyed the movie. I enjoy all forms of rhetoric appeals, so this movie was good. Its explanation of the process of street artists caught me good, and its story was an interesting story.
I believe that street art is not vandalism, in certain cases. If the art does not make a big impact on the viewer, does not move the viewer in any way, is unoriginal, it is vandalism. Say, a lazy drawing of a face on a wall. That is vandalism. Art is a very broad term, and I believe that vandalism is still art, though art that is not good. Street art, like Banksy, is good art.
