  • Incredible!!!!! I wish I could afford just ONE of his pieces.@repelghosts - Are you freaking crazy? You have no respect OR sense of what is valuable. Money, money, money. Amerikkka sucks any dick she can get a hold of for a couple of dollars!

  • Sweet child

  • the radiant child and mr rager ...both so suuuper artistic in their own way!

  • Aaaah what a great documentary. made me realize what i already knew, that art is art no matter how simple, sophiscated or childlike. he let his ideas and shit flow threw his paint brushes. trying to connect or understand what was goin on in his head while he was painting from the finished product is hard to do. watching this gave me no found respect for art. screw his haters

  • He has such a sweet smile.

  • Is this the same lump o shit that has some fucking ,dumd-arsed cooking shows somewhere?

    She is a fraud and a bullshiter...No one has ever heard of her in the family anywhere on this planet.

  • this guy is my hero hopefully some day i can finish what he started.

  • Comment removed

  • This has all the things I hope the movie has: Jerky camera, 500+ images per minute, lightning-fast images of his art, quotes presented in milliseconds, pic-n-pan portions of his paintings, and the jazz he listened to, because to learn about him I need to listen to his music choices, too! Looking forward to the Free Coupons for getting dreadlocks, black-face paint, racial prejudice, cigarettes, weed and heroin to complete the full experience! I only hope I can't hear what he's saying!

  • Alcuni linguaggi artistici hanno un significato per gli altri ancora prima che essi cerchino di averne uno per se stessi. Altri linguaggi, invece, hanno un significato per se stessi ma non ce l’hanno per gli altri.

    Questo è uno dei tanti discrimini che separano l’arte vera dal semplice esercizio dell’arte.

  • Its really somewhat sad and almost discourage for artist, that the reason he probably did the things he did that lead to his death are because he was under so much stress as an artist.....art should be fun and when its not it kills us inside....and when he is dead and gone his work finally gets recognized...but i guess thats just the life of 99% of artists

  • @MarthaPart he was a neegr fag and im glad the piec o sht is ded

  • cool guy shame he had to die the way he did

  • SaLT pENUTS salrts peanut S ! ! -- between 2 ideas rest on the corner of a street, run AWAY from the pulpit Air conditionner scene music director Like I said yes turbo day SaLT PEANUTS away The prisonner ward at the gay parade against the mayor said it last month first on TV: WHERE IS HE?

At least am still alive.
  • @TheSpiritualShow glad this talentless dupe is dead

  • @ChixRChattel thats so rude. Everyones different, and if he was talentless then why is hes art selling for millions? stop being an asshole just because YOU dont understand something. its not very nice..

  • "I have to remember I'm just... this is not being filmed I have to remember...." He was so sweet & cute ;-) I mean HOW can you NOT love this man!

  • @mittROMNEY666 naaa its all prospective my friend u bash it all u want i think its a pretty cool style ;)

  • he he saying salty nuts salty nuts!!??

  • @x4aperfecttool - It's Dizzy Gillespie (Please look this man up, He is probably the greatest trumpeter who ever lived) singing Salt Peanuts Salt Peanuts.

  • SOME PENIS SOME PENIS.

  • @rhinojuneja

    LOLOL i heard that too, but it's SALT PEANUTS SALT PEANUTS

  • So sad he died. He had so much life left to make art. Lord only knows what else he would've done.

  • I just finished the most beautiful poem I've ever written to this movie. There are no words to describe his music. Awesome movie on filmsi.co.cc too...! This is such a wonderful piece of movie, very epic very deep and very powerful if you ask me.

  • fuck he looks like kid cudi.

  • @yehbrahbrah wrong,cudi looks like Basquiat

  • this doc didn't go far enough for me

  • AMAZING JAZZ IN THE VID!!!

    

  • Salt-peanuts...SALT PEEEANUTS. LOL, I had to say it. :)

  • I say "Kid", you say "CuDi"

  • This will be the year where main actor wins best supporting actor, maybe even him... for Best actor....FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME!!!! I am seeing this movie at filmsi.co.cc for the third time now. Trailer is great too.

  • Ha! Many thanks! You have to admit some liberties have been taken with the score. All that is needed now are the credits for this arrangement and performance. You can get this movie at filmsi.co.cc if you like.

  • It’s gonna be THE event movie of 2011- at least for myself and any other true film fan. I am looking for it on filmsi.co.cc already... I applaud the Academy for giving Best Picture to a small film instead of a megablockbuster like Avatar.

  • This looks like one of the movies that either suck or blow your head out. And personally i think it will be a great movie, the amount of emotion in the trailer alone is overwhelming cant wait to see the whole thing at filmsi.co.cc :D

  • salt peanuts! salt peanuts!

  • salty nuts salty nuts salty nuts.

  • he was haitian and puerto rican...

  • @ryanmega said run this shit sexdrugsmoney com approved

  • he is so bad at graffto ..no offence

  • man i bet kid cudi watched this video and was like.Yo i have brother.RIP Basquiat

  • I FIND HIM DEVASTATINGLY HANDSOME. and Kid Cudi

  • whats the name of that jazz song? :D

  • @streetball102 Salt peanuts!

  • my only complaint is that people try to characterize this guy like he was a disadvantaged youth. He was very middle class and chose to live the life of a starving artist in his late teens/early 20's.

    I come from a poor family and its very inconceivable to me that I would want to continue living a tougher life where everyday is challenging. Its easier for more affluent people to speak moralistically about materialism and things of that nature because they've been given the option of choosing

  • @echoplex89 no one said he came from a poor family. however he was from a very broken family, his father beat him and continually his mother was in and out of mental hospitals. When he left home he didnt live a poor life to gain sympathy. because thats how every artist was living in NYC during his time. however i can understand your confusion thinking that that is the reason he's famous. its not. he's famous because his art was brilliant and he had an amazing presence

  • why do so many talented artists die too young?

  • Sell peanut, sell peanut Basquiat! A must- see doc. for art lovers.

  • I saw this over the weekend on moovis.co.cc and really enjoyed it. It was funny and had a surprisingly deep story. I recommand it to everyone.

  • WHAT ABOUT TRACY MORGAN? HAHA

  • nnnnnniiiiiiiiiccccccce!!!!!!!­

  • song?!?!?

  • What a Joke. This film shows how the power elite of the art world decide on who will be the fashion of the times next artist. Game plan: 1. find a minority 2. hide his identity so that he looks poor ( Basquiat's family were very middle class) 3. hook him up with another famous person (Warhol) 4. have the power brokers amp up the prices of his Non Art 5. make sure you have a person who is undeveloped, uses drugs, and is likely to die young, thereby increasing the price of his non art.

  • @xwaystranger what makes his art non art?

  • @thespecter2 Typical PC contemporary question. Well, just like there are expert Plumbers, believe it or not Not Everyone or Everyone's Child is an Artist. And the current Artists being shown in Art Museums are also not always Artists. Just like in Music, only those who are relatives or current party people, get to have major distribution of their Non Music. Same with the current propaganda films from Hollywood. It's who you Know, not what you Do. So What is Art? Start with the Cave Painters.

  • @xwaystranger Ha, I am studying art history right now at U. of K. Already studied cave paintings. So based on your analogy what would you say Kurt Cobain was? Someone the media hyped up because he was relatable and would die young like Basquait? Or would you consider him a real artist because he epitomized expression without the glamour or glitz.

  • @thespecter2 Nice switch into Music. Well, OK. Since 1975, the Elite Power Brokers who control the US Record Industry have chosen People and Bands who have at least one member addicted to drugs or at least one member who is desfunctional enough to bring on Headlines. The record Industry gets most of the profits from a Band's first 2 records. By the 3rd they are dropped. Grunge Was Created by the Press (to quote Kurt Cobain) He knew it was a setup when HIpHop showed up Next. Wake Up.

  • Looking forward to seeing/finding this film somewhere! Sundance Channel?

  • he looks like kid cudi with johnny polygon's hair

  • "salt peanut... the name of the song"

  • god damn ...he came bak alive and his name is now scott mescudi

  • justin bieber's penis is about as loong as the dislike bar.

  • great.

    ANDREA SANA.com

  • man, this guy like just kid cudi....with dread

  • thumbs up if kid cudi's unofficial video led u her

  • @MrDavontaee fuck off arsehole

  • @MrDavontaee LMFAO Fuck you and fuck Kid Cudi.

    Fake-ass Illuminati house nigger.

    And you a fake-ass nigger for listening to him. 

    Kid Cudi WISHES he was Basquiat. But Basquiat never sucked a Freemason's dick to get successful...

  • @planetery Haha love it brother! Excellent and informative comment!

  • Comment removed

  • @TruthSmack Thanks, yo. Sometimes you just gotta let people know what time it is. :D

  • revelador!!

  • BRILLIANT ARTIST !

  • I enjoy his art. How did he die?

  • @TheFutureFirefighter Jean-Michel Basquiat dies from a overdose of heroin 

  • he got monalisa's smile.

  • his art looks like the work of a schizophrenic.

  • such an interesting, tortured soul. may you be at peace, jean michel.

  • SALTY NUTS SALTY NUTS........THE NAME OF THIS SONG SALTY NUTS!!

  • no idea why this guy became so famous... I mean he was not very revolutionary for his time and his work is not very special looking at the frame and time in which it is made... At least that is what i think..

  • @frankthoen Yes, I feel the same way also. Because to me, he was just a schized out guy painting/drawing whatever popped into his schized out mind. And, that's also how he went about explaining his work, with no real rhyme or reason. I had not even heard of him until I one day happened to watch his documentary on cable, which led me to research him on youtube. And, eventhough he was Black, he was not African American Black. Which means he was not the typical minority who became famous.

  • anyone notice how jimi hendrix, basquiat, and mescudi look almost identical? i wonder if this is more than coincidence.

  • @hondarules400 lol... they all look different to me keep it that way to please

  • @hondarules400 you're right, cause Basquiat and Hendrix did a kid named Cudi

  • @hondarules400 So True!!!

  • @hondarules400 Now you are on to the Power Elites Brainwashing techniques for the retarded masses.

  • @hondarules400

    no it isn't a coincidence, because I'm latino myself and pretty much all of us racially mixed with something.

    Hendrix was part mexican/native american and part black, basquiat was half puerto rican and half haitian, and kid cudi is half mexican/black.

  • @hondarules400 i dont know about hendrix but basquiat and mr mescudi look almost identical

  • Comment removed

  • @hondarules400 If Mescudi dies this year it would be more than a coincidence (then they would all be part of the 27 club)

  • @hondarules400 holy shit

  • @hondarules400 yeah really

  • @hondarules400 27 club occult ritual?

  • @hondarules400 it's not

  • @hondarules400 cudi looks like basquiat but neither look that much like hendrix at all

  • @QAZZZMAN that's Cudi in the vid, Basquiat passed away

  • @ Malleus7777  "Poor, Black, Street" HAHAHHA!!!!

  • Lol holy fuck him & Cudi look sooooo much alike.

  • My 8 year-old niece produces better paintings.

  • Dont compare puerto ricans to mexicans...

  • i dont get this shit im scared why does helook like cudi

  • @pooshoes100 haha i think they kinda look alike due to similar ethnic traits basquait is half haitian and half puerto rican while cudi is half afro-american and half mexican i

  • how did he die.....haha cudi's twin

  • wtf dude there fucking twins!!!

  • Bought the DVD today!

  • brotha was working on another dimension. RIP.

  • People: I have criticized art for some time. I have looked and looked, but have found no deep artistic talent among any works of Basquiat's. This is hyper modernism run amok, praise worthy only to those idealists who value the political fashionability (poor, black, street) of the artist, over the art. If you can duplicate a piece in a matter of moments, it is probably not art. This is the worst/best example of the depraved devolution of art. I have to say it - Basquiat's work is a joke.

  • @Malleus7777 Basquiat has been hailed as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. The novelties that are clearly apparent in his works, are truly timeless, and elements of his style will, undoubtedly, be an influence to decades and decades of artists to come. Basquiat was an unusual genius. The kind that comes along once in a century. A remarkable man, with a remarkable story......

  • @zadeh79 To the contrary. Basquiat's art can be duplicated by an amateur in a matter of second or hours. This, is one objective test for whether something is art or not. This is not said for the classics, or works or real artists. The marble statue from 225 AD, of Maximinus Thrax, or the work of Michelangelo, for instance. Even 20th century artists like, Atelier Lack. This is art. Again, Basquiat is famous for political fashionability's sake, and nothing more.

  • @zadeh79 It started in the aura of 80s graf, and elites thinking graf was an amazing revolutionary movement. their star was this odd ball graffer, "Samo," who was Basquiat. His underground cred for writing simple letters on walls was enough to make anything he did genius, no matteer how badly it was. If Samo had crapped on canvass, the fashionably correct, who desperately wanted to be 'with it,' would have called it brilliant. this is the stage set for the non artist basquiat.

  • @Malleus7777 People have to stop justifying the scribbles of this junkie, as notable artwork. Basquiat is a joke. "Amateurish", would be a compliment. It's the worst of the worst. It's juvenile. And it, generally, only appeals to the smallest minority of the populace, whom can relate to him racially and economically. God, his stuff was bad, and not only in the sense of opinions. He was a man who's only novelty came in emulating typical toddler art, one can find scattered on a refrigerator.

  • @Malleus7777 You know I'm only kidding with you. Although I feel though that genius may be accidental, I agree that Basquiat's work lacks any elements of novelty. The man himself is novel, but only in the sense that he could come forth with those primitive, and embarrassing doodlings, 

  • @Malleus7777 My idea is that the wealthy and influential elitists of the time, bought Basquiat's art, knowing it was worthless and, quite artificially, inflated it's value (probably to later make a size-able profit of it). This media, hyped Basquiat to the point that a vulnerable and naive public, would believe him to be a sort of Van Gogh of the times. Thus, his productions have never been valued for any merit-able talent, but rather his fabricated persona.

  • @zadeh79 Did you know that a Basquiat recently sold for $14 million? It was, as you said, "typical toddler art, one can find scattered on a refrigerator."

  • A powerful emotional story,strong performances and pretty scenery overcome the overlong, overstuffed plot. I found the movie on of couse malifilmici.co.cc... Damn good movie...

  • I really expected that I was going to be disappointed when I started to watch this film..but I must say that it is great..hahaha!!! like this...It is very funny, so dumb...and I like it..the most.. Go for this on malifilmici.co.cc and enjoy it, its a big success..

  • There is a big difference between a drawer or painter and an artist. Don't EVER buy it when someone says they can teach you to BE an artist. They might be able to help you find your inner artist but someone can't MAKE you an artist. Reach from within, technical skills are the least of your concerns. They will be natural as you practice and express more and more.

  • Could someone confirm whether or not the kid in Gil Scott Heron's video for 'The Bottle' is a young Basquiat? I've found no mention of it anywhere but it looks so much look him! I've done a bit of research and he would have been just the right age for the boy too in 1972 when the video was made- in New York too! Kid comes in at 27 seconds!

  • Just watched it two days ago. Really what a genius! The energy and deliberation of his art is comparable only to Picasso to me. Imagine he had lived, where his art would have gone. There is a quote in this film going something like 'He channelled reality right through his body'. A radiant blessed child, indeed. His last paintings akin to Mozart's Requiem. Watching this doc brought me to tears and changed the way I see life.

    Thank you, Basquiat, may your soul be blissful in the eternal light!

  • A true genius, too bad he left us too young and too soon. His arts are worth millions now.

  • Wow Kid Cudi is Basquiat?

  • a perfect example of a young man cracking under the quick fame. jean was BRILLIANT. nobody will ever be like this man. revolutionary.

  • Trips me out on how he looks like Kid Cudi. Now when I hear anything by Kid Cudi, it makes me think about the art. Great fucking documentary by the way...

  • BASQUIAT !

  • HE EVEN SOUNDS LIKE CUDI.

  • What is the song in the closing credits of this movie?

  • Also where can I find the playlist...

  • Every player in this fairy tale for adults drama, is grappling withthe external as well as the internal conflict of how to be true to one's Self.Beautiful acting by all. Strong, sensitive, insightful. It can be seen on kookíca. I was mesmerized from the beginning to The End.
