涂鸦艺人 (2004)

Adrift in a lush, nocturnal urban landscape, Nick is a post-modern urban hero asserting his anarchistic agenda on the endless maze of virgin exterior walls that comprise downtown Seattle and Portland. For writer/director Bolton's lonely "tagger" protagonist, the vast wall surfaces of deserted alleys and trainyards are at once a daunting symbol of capitalist oppression and a texturally rich, seamless tableau ripe for exploitation to amplify his artistic dialectic of anger and rebellion. His own virtually anonymous existence seemingly only secondary to the painted surfaces and "rupture the system" manifesto which more poignantly evidence his presence, Nick's prodigious solo graffiti output is interrupted by friendship with another young tagger. Their communication begins as less verbal than a kind of shared graphic tour de force; their enormous collaborative graffiti murals appear to emerge as the unmistakable offspring of their kindred spirit. But eventually their assumptions about one another are disproved as political, emotional and ethical issues arise which cause their relationship to dissolve into the background of urban detritus, and the artists themselves emerge only further atomized and alienated by the experience. Compelling themes, sensitive performances, and luscious visuals define this film which is a revealing immersion into the experiential reality of those daring to make their art in a socially condemned arena. For a film ostensibly focusing on manipulated surfaces, Bolton's cinematic artistry probes deep into the consciousness of the "tagger" and "graffiti artist" sub-culture. 282M。真正热爱免费艺术的涂鸦艺人，被玩票性质的富二代卷毛给睡了。后来富二代回家之后想改变自己的生活，就再也不想见他了。但是他在警察抓他关了4个月之后，他出来还是继续涂鸦。前面的23分钟都很像GV开头（环境同期声）通过对比两者对同性恋的态度 表达了一种对自由艺术由一而终和的执着和一种将艺术当儿戏的三分钟热度 涂鸦完的快感环绕着彼此 因此才发生了419 因为当感觉溢满胸腔时就会想通过什么发泄出来 因此完了就完了 千万别当真 涂鸦与同志的相互呼应（隐蔽性、主观性、易free art.关于自由艺术的展示中规中矩，感情戏严重不足。有一种颓废感，不知是不是主角的黑眼圈的关系·····通过两人的决裂，暗示出一种导演对于街头自由文化的认同。同志情并非重点。easy come, easy go.好喜欢里面的涂鸦。我居然可以花掉六个小时慢慢看完这部对白少得可怜、镜头简
