Bomb It 2 (2010)
Faster Paced Sequel Features Tons of Art
Bomb It 2 starts off where Bomb It left off. Instead of looking at the history of graffiti like in the original (I recommend that you watch them in order), BI2 dives head first into what artists are doing now. Director Jon Reiss traveled across six continents (rumor is Antarctica will be in BI3?) documenting different styles of graffiti art from around the world. In some places, like Palestine, street art is a means to free speech with possible deadly consequences for the artists! The artists in this movie advocate free speech and thought, a message that I totally support. Because BI2 skips the history lesson (although some of the artists talk about the history in their regions), there are way more artist spotlights and locations than the original. In that sense, this sequel has a faster pace than the first. But if you've seen both, it's a natural progression for the series. I recommend you check it out!
