Downtown 81 was a great movie because it covered new art like music, graffiti, praintings that was coming to the light and akin to frimming and real life. in the movie the first seen was with Basquiat in the hospital with an undisclosed ailment. when jean was leaving the hospital he saw Beatrice , who drives around in a convertible and later start to search for her. Has Basquiat got home to his apartment, he discover that his landlord was kicking him out. so he starts walking around to try selling a work of art to make some income for his day to day life. Jean eventually does manage to sell some of his art work to a rich woman who is interested in more than just his art, but she pays with a check. Moreover, has he was trying to sell his art work, he meets up with musicians and a band which becomes his own band. As the film progresses, he wanders the streets of New York, looking for Beatrice. He find a bag that is a lady who turns into a princess, after he kissed her. As a reward, she gives him a lot of money.
i found this movie covered it's ideas perfectly. i like the fact that they showed Manhattan has it really was a unruly place full of garbage, graffiti, rubble-strewn lots, unlicensed after-hours clubs and highly idealistic kids eager to make their mark as big artists and musicians. Like the movie Downtown 81, downtown Manhattan was they same way it was they didn't change a thing and that what i really liked about the movie.
