Plot:
By any rational measure, Alan Parker's cinematic interpretation of Pink Floyd: The Wall is a glorious failure. Glorious because its imagery is hypnotically striking, frequently resonant, and s...( read more

Awesome combo - written by the greatest lyricist of all time (ok, so up there with dylan / cohen / zappa / waits ;) roger waters; and acted by my favourite of favourite dirty sey irish philanthropic awesome runk pocker sir bob...
This movie totally got me through my awkward teenage angst phase (ok, so im still going through it, but it did help me realise that all intelligent and slightly (ok, very) eccentric individuals prone to depression and mania think an unnatural amount abt the world and the order of things, and it's ok...)
I admit that I didn't *really* understand / get into this movie. It was pretty interesting. I got the point behind some of the stuff. but overall it was just long and really weird.
After watching most films you feel like you come away with something, after watching this I felt like something was taken away. I do like Pink Floyd though.
Great malice comes from a place of great insecurity. Written by Roger Waters, this is a scary ride into the psychosis of a man slowly going insane. One of the most interesting aspects is Waters' point of how people who commit the worst crimes against humanity are secretly the most afraid and insecure of all. This fear ultimately transforms into hate, a hate of themselves against which they lash out. In this case, Pink never comes to terms with the loss of his father who never came home from WWII, and is tormented by his teacher at school who tries to strip away individuality from the children; the reason for the teacher's anger is because he's completely emasculated by his wife at home. The combination of animation and film, the surreal imagery, often disturbing, perfectly flows with the music from The Wall which is, of course, phenomenal. The combination of the imagery to music truly feels like we're watching a Rock Opera, and despite the almost complete lack of dialogue, there's a very real story with characters the viewer becomes invested deeply in, thanks largely to Geldof's brave, hold nothing back performance. It's safe to say that Pink Floyd's - The Wall is nothing if not a true work of revolutionary art.
incredible movie - animation like i had never seen before and a blend of music with that animation that has never been rivaled. phenomenal then, and now.
One of the greatest cult films from the early 1980's and for good reason....Pink Floyd were the kings of British rock and roll.
I know somewhere they have this showing at your neighborhood cimema during a midnight screening or somewhere on college campuses too.
hey! watch the Skin I made few months ago, it is reallt nice, hope you like it.
