Plot:
An original, and simultaneously THE original, documentary on graffiti culture, and by extension and to a lesser degree, Hip-Hop culture in general. The 1980's of New York may be long gone, but they are captured here not with beauty or compassion, but with a detached emphasis on humanity.
Well shot, well interviewed, and to a certain extent unbiased. At times it reads like a 60-minutes special, but at its best it provides a genuine, if sometimes too restricted and short, view into a world that has since evolved into something far more pervasive and different.
one of my favorite documentaries. this one shows graffiti in NyC in the late 70's early 80's and how the hip-hop movement began. Brilliant and well shot.
The voice of Hip-Hop speaks through the element of graffiti in Style Wars, a documentary on the art as it sweeps through New York City. While Scratch and Freestyle took a definite pro-Hip-Hop stance, Style Wars offers both sides of the argument, with interviews from New York's then-Mayor Ed Koch and representatives of the Transit Authority, and lets you judge for yourself.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Style Wars" !
