Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
tahaa-17267 I watched "The Wall" again and again. 'Cause it's just explaining my life's emptiness. I just want to live without any religion, any ideology, any race, any relationship... I just want to live with myself. I just want to think about everything, draw and write about everything... Actually "The Wall" is not my type, usually i'm watching Tarkovsky, Kieslowski, Tarr, Bergman and some directors' like these. But even The Wall is a different type movie, it's explaining a lot of things that unavailable to explain. Just must be watched...
tomdmorganti I hated this album when it first came out because I was a member of the "old camp" Floyd fans, i.e. "Meddle". I confess to avoiding the movie treatment for 35 years. Until today. What a glorious way of celebrating the solstice. This movie is what Tommy tried to be but failed at miserably. Quadrophenia meets Fantastic Planet, and, no, you need not be stoned or tripping to appreciate it. You might even miss a lot if you are incapacitated. Wow, what can I say? I wasn't even a follower of the Boomtown Rats, but Bob Geldorf's got the pipes for it, for sure. The only thing that would have made it better is the Syd Barrett input, but it is an amazing film nonetheless with a message that resonates today, at least in America
Python Hyena Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982): Dir: Alan Parker / Cast: Bob Geldof, Christine Hargreaves, Jenny Wright, Eleanor David, Alex McAvoy: Compelling dark musical masterpiece exploiting the walls of isolation. The film exposes numerous factors that contribute to this wall. Bob Geldof plays a cynical rock star found overdosed on drugs in his trashed hotel room. Flashbacks indicate his lonely childhood, mockery at school, an overbearing mother, his failed marriage, and his father's death in the war. His rage takes full effect as a groupie hovers in a corner as he trashes the room and sends a TV crashing to the ground below. Pink Floyd's title track brings conviction as a classroom becomes a slaughterhouse to faceless students marching in matching uniforms. Tremendous direction by Alan Parker aided by Pink Floyd whose lyrics fuel the story. It is also highlighted with exquisite animated segments. Geldof is ideal and dead to the world as his mind conjures up images of death, destruction and a possible ray of hope in the final scene. Christine Hargreaves plays his mother who neglects him. Jenny Wright plays a groupie who gets more than she bargained for in her attempt to seduce. Eleanor David plays his wife who answers neglect with an affair. Alex McAvoy as the strict teacher who spews a famous quote from the film. Visual masterpiece about breaking through to sanity again. Score: 10 / 10
benrobbinswolf "Pink Floyd: The Wall" is a celebration of spot-on directing, effective animation, and chilling yet powerful imagery. And it is one of the few musicals whose primary source of story-telling is the soundtrack. The main character is a rock star named Pink who has locked himself in his hotel room and is left to his own devices. Which in this case is his mind. And what we find down there when watching this movie, is pure insanity. Getting darker and darker as we go deeper and deeper into his head. He imagines his past and how it could have been different. For better or for worse. The film is brilliantly well done, and deserves a spot on any of my lists for the greatest musical of all time.
