Okay.
Sound check, please.
One, two.
One, two.
Okay.
One, two.
- Comfortable?
- Yep.
So, um, I guess I'll start off
What is the film?
Uh, well, the film is the story
of what happened when this guy
tried to make
a documentary about me,
but he was actually a lot more
interesting than I am,
so now the film
is kind of about him.
I mean, it's not
Gone with the Wind,
but there's probably a moral
in there somewhere.
So who is this guy?
MALE NARRATOR:
"This guy" was Thierry Guetta,
a Frenchman who had been living
in Los Angeles
since emigrating
to the United States
in the early 1980s.
Thierry owned
in the city's most bohemian
shopping district,
and he made a good living
selling his wares
to L.A.'s more fashion-conscious
citizens.
At that time,
I used to buy old Adidas
and old things
and, you know, things
you couldn't find here:
shoes, bags.
And I had a warehouse
with big bales of these clothes,
and we used to buy these
for $50.
I used to take things that,
when the sewing was different,
I call it designer,
and I'd put the price
that is $400.
So from $50,
sometimes I could make $5,000.
NARRATOR:
But there wasone very unusual thing
about Thierry.
He never went anywhere
without a video camera.
I don't know
how the video camera
came into my hand,
but I know the moment
it came inside my hand,
I couldn't let it down,
ever.
It was like more than any drugs
to anybody.
It was obsession.
When I picked up the camera,
I couldn't do anything
without capturing it.
I'd keep filming,
keep filming, keep filming.
I was filming and filming myself
filming me.
It didn't stop.
It just didn't stop.
Ooh...
In my own house,
when the kids grow up,
I had cameras set up everywhere.
I was completely maxed
with camera.
Even taking pictures,
he would do it like...
you know, like, he was using
even the picture camera
like he would use
the video camera.
He was pretty much obsessed.
He filmed constantly...
tapes and tapes and tapes.
Aaaagh!
NARRATOR:
As time passed,those who knew Thierry
stopped even noticing
his ever-present camera,
while everyone else soon learned
how determined he could be.
Can I take one picture
before I go?
You know what?
One picture, yeah.
All right, go ahead.
- Oh, no, no, no.
- Thanks.
Thanks.
C'est Shaq.
Hey, how you doing?
What you doin', bud?
a va?
Say hello to the French people.
Hello, French people.
That's enough.
Stop recording.
That's good.
That's good.
When you gonna film
someone else?
Yeah, man, I do.
- Eh?
- I do.
Why don't you go
and do it now?
Because it's not every day
that I see you.
Thud!
NARRATOR:
Thierry seemedand pointing his camera
at anything that moved
