February 27, 2005Bomb the SystemThis is a movie about graffiti writers, and it movie Lee Quinones in it. What more do you need to know? The official Bomb the System websiteand trailer are here. The synopsis from there: “The average New Yorker sees upwards of 50 pieces of graffiti a day. But they never stop to think about the stories behind those pieces… this is one of those stories.” And an advance review: Bomb The System is an admirable film. Set in the world of graffiti writing in New York City, 23-year-old writer/director Adam Bhala Lough's feature debut uses this framework to tell the story of Anthony a.k.a. Blest (Mark Webber), a graffiti artist who needs to rise above his increasingly dangerous surroundings, although this environment provides him a comfort he is reluctant to leave behind. Lough's urban coming-of-age tale doesn't really move beyond the familiar trappings of the genre's narrative formula. It's obvious that the filmmaker was more inspired by the context of his screenplay than its content, but it's impossible to call this film a novelty piece. Lough's affection for his characters is too heartfelt and his visual ideas too unique for such a label to be warranted...Posted by jsmooth995 at February 27, 2005 11:50 PM | Add to del.cicio.us | TrackBack |
