badpeople This movie really goes everywhere. Jakarta, Thailand, Tel Aviv, Hong Kong, Australia, even Austin, TX. Super comprehensive, and a superior movie than shorts I've seen on graffiti culture. I've never been that INTO graffiti, but this movie is great. I could hang out with these artists all day long -- just have it on in the background. It's so interesting how everyone is very aware of why they graffiti, and how their aesthetic choices come out of that. I found the artists from Copenhagen and Jakarta especially interesting -- but, the artists in Tel Aviv make some incredible stuff. The most interesting parts of the film for me were artists talking about the repercussions of graffiti, as well as the political nature behind the art. Really, really smart people, and obviously a smart filmmaker. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Scott Mackay I hadn't seen Bomb It - mainly because I live nowhere near an indie cinema where it might possibly have shown but partly because I had no interest in graffiti.Bomb It 2 contains interviews with graffiti artists around the world in a style that echoes the graffiti artists themselves. It's a fast paced hit-and-move doc leaving you with a lingering memory of something slightly different before presenting you with something else.Like going to work in the morning you are afforded a glimpse of another person's life and thoughts before moving on.Perhaps it is because I was brought up in small town, where graffiti is nothing more than vandalism, but I never really appreciated the art that is possible before watching Bomb It 2. The artists are seldom making money and their motivations are usually far more altruistic than any regular art world would allow.Take a step outside your own life for a while and watch Bomb It 2!

chris-482-828570 Reiss' no holds-barred documentary bridges inter-cultural gaps we didn't even no existed. He redefines "graffiti" from illicit hobby to expression of the soul- a rare art form where people are able to influence their environment as much as their environment influences them. BI2 reminds us to unleash our passion, there's almost always a place for it. It's not enough for Reiss to stay in one place- instead he brings us around the globe- exploring this intriguing sub-culture with countless characters. I knew nothing about graffiti before watching this movie. All I knew was that it was illegal and looked down upon. Now I see it's not just a juvenile expression of disdain for society- instead it's the opposite. It's an expression of the soul- an artistic and human release for many people who might not have any other available. Without graffiti, one character even says he wouldn't know what he'd do with his life. It's not about disgracing property- it's about expressing yourself within your environment, and actually changing that environment to become an extension of yourself.Chris Bashinelli - Host and Executive Producer of "Bridge the Gap" on PBS

diana-757-665707 So many filmmakers make a great movie and then try to make a follow up and fail. Reiss made a great movie in Bomb It and then followed it up with an equally impressive film. Bomb It 2 continues the exploration of graffiti in public space, but delves deeper into the plight of the artists themselves all while taking the viewer to locations that get little attention from the art world in general. In some places, writing is the only way that political statements can be made. In others, it's a matter of beautifying spaces - with the communities consent. A lot of time these works of art are commissioned. I've never been a proponent of graffiti, but Bomb It and Bomb It 2 do not condone or condemn, they just document, which is what you want in a documentary. Kudos! Whether you've seen Bomb It (I recommend seeing it!) or not, Bomb It 2 is an interesting and entertaining movie and makes you want to get up!
