BOMB IT is a movie by Jon Reiss, a documentary of how the graffiti movement has affected various cities around the globe. 10 cities are highlighted, and I believe they shot in a couple more places, Philly for sure, but San Fran too, maybe more.
Starting in the cradle of the writing culture, Philly/NYC, the makers of this movie spanned the globe from there. Interviewing upwards of 100 artists, showcasing the work of hundreds more, this documentary almost mournfully reveals a common thread throughout the writing culture: The line between Us and Them, becomes the line in the sand, and now it becomes Us against Them. Different cultures define that line many times by their socioeconomic status, but all have a negative connotation towards graffiti.  The credited first writer ever started writing inside a correctional facility, and ended up in another one for tagging Elephants... being a clandestine activity would be the fate of writing for decades to come.
We watch these dope, daring, and dedicated artists for an hour explain what is wrong with persecuting graff, but then-right about when I was getting depressed watching this, there is this shift in the attitude of the film. There starts to be a not entirely noticeable pick up in the direction of positivity, and more of the writers expressing how they personally feel about the whole thing. I was groovin with that, and the film ended strong.
Seriously, heads won't look at this as a depressing movie.  At times it feels more aimed towards civilians, who shall watch it for the documentary status of it.  Regardless, there is a huge amount of awesome work from all over the globe, and like I said-about 100 writers interviewed. There's also cool animation of some of the artwork.One Blek Le Rat animation shows his rats running along the building, over a bridge.  It may sorta off-put hardcore traditionalists who might see it as...maybe too much...
Graff and animation rarely go together like this.
But the feeling will fade as they recognize that it's all great animation. Kudos to the animators on that one.
Overall, I have to recommend this film to friends and family who don't very well know the art, or that are sympathetic to the cause.  This piece will give a real world view of what's happening with writing these days.
For actual writers, this definitely should be watched at least once, even though it isn't a train movie, or a corny wanna-be comedy fLIck.  Nope-it's a gritty feeling documentary that artsy folks and "intellectual" writers will appreciate.

Bottom line: Get this for the collection.  It's good to have around for people who are interested. Even though for a writer this can sometimes feel long, we have to realize how much information, both visual and verbal, that is being presented here.  It's staggering.
The only thing I was hating on: the Joe C. spot.  That shouldn't be held against the movie, it's just a personal preference. Everybody knows how HUUUGE of a hypocrite this cornball is. I do however enjoy his cranked-out antics. Take a chill pill dude, your meth habit is becoming evident. 2 points for getting to watch Joe "The Crackhead" Connly tryna explain what the tags he's buffing mean.
HILARIOUS!
Peace like hair grease

Babelgum produced the original street art/graffiti documentary, and the sequel will profile artists from locations such as Singapore (third offense is a caning!) and the Middle East. “In Israel, there’s a blossoming street-art culture with percolations of ideas,” says director Jon Reiss, “but in the Palestinian refugee camps, everything is political."
