Bomb It 2 (2010)
No-Holds Barred Intercultural Documentary
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.
