Art Movie Project : Exit Through the Gift Shop
1. In a few sentences, summarize the main action of the film (and indicate the film you chose). This should be brief, think plot summary.
The main action was to show a filmmaker, group of artists and their opinion of their art in a whole. It gets kind of confusing because he starts to talk about these artists like they are the ones who make people wonder what their movement stands for, but near the end it transitions to a story about his life and being persuaded to be an artist like the rest. It shows a wannabe film maker into the graffiti artist he is today making album covers for Madonna and more.
2. Did you like the movie? Why or why not?
I liked the movie because I always wondered what …show more content…

What about this portrayal of the story makes it feel contemporaneous and up-todate?
(Why would someone be interested in it today?)
It is very up to date because the art is still new and fresh and still carries on today. It does get removed a lot though due to laws. The portrayal is kind of vague, but viewers still can be entertained by it still today. It is definitely for those who like new school art. Older folks tend to avoid it because they think it is vandalism. The art shows the image of propaganda onto the streets around them. It is a rebellion against the government and the rules they set. Graffiti art has not updated recently and the film is fairly recent, so they are up to date as we speak.
6. Would you recommend this movie to other students interested in learning more about this movement/artist? Why or why not?
I would recommend this movie to any student trying to learn a tad bit about what is behind these artists image. They will come to learn that it is rebellious and full of life and attracted others to see what the art means. This is for artists who like the more Contemporary Art. By this, I mean the newer more up to date art made today, not the old art which follow guidelines. Other students who like graffiti artists should watch this

There were and are a lot of racial issues in the United States today. The book “Warriors Don’t Cry” and the movie “Remember the Titans” are good examples of the racial issues that were going on back then, but later show how their town comes to respect everyone that lives there no matter their skin color or race. There was a test that white people took a to see if they were racist and the results were 90 percent of people show some sign of favoritism towards the white community.

The film brings light to issues that the general public doesn’t really realize are happening. Drug and gang violence are large issues in America and this movie shows that. The largest example showing violence from the movie is when Ricky gets shot by the Bloods in the leg because of issues that Doughboy created (Singleton, 1991). This violent scene has the biggest effect on the audience and it truly educates people watching the movie. This also leads to another message that the director cooperating through the

For this assignment I chose the short film Tin Toy which is a story about toys and the fear of a baby a lot bigger than them. The main character of this short film is a little musical marching band toy sold with the box name of “Tin Toy.” The toy was introduced at the beginning of the film where he was doing his own thing to come across a baby who is giant compared to him. Tin Toy represents someone who can be scared of someone who is very largely compared to him but is not as controlled and represents a threat to the main character the tin toy.
