Is this a Banksy?

I hate making threads like this on newschoolers. but i figured someone would know.

I found this piece in my town the other day. And immediately thought of Banksy. Looks just his stuff. OR it could be a really good fake. But i don't think it's a local artist because I haven't found anymore around town. It's been their awhile so it's faded.

That's what i thought. Until i stepped back and looked at it from across the field. The grass what pretty tall. And this is how i interpreted it. The boy looking over the field hoping for something. I have no idea. I could be crazy.

Yeah I've been watching a lot of documentaries recently and it's always the same old subject: weed and war. The thing that Exit Through the Gift Shop had going for it was that it was about something totally new and unique, covered a broad spectrum about how street art came to be popular, and it had a lot of good footage. In my opinion no documentary this year was even close to the quality Exit Through the Gift Shop.

I don't think it's Banksy, does anyone else think he looks like Christian Bale?

chances are if it is in america it is more likely to be a person who is copying his style, Banksy works mostly in england or areas of extreme political view eg Gaza

also, claim

Banksy is from a city like 40 minuets from where i live
