You're looking at a traumatized kid who became a rock star, the first scene shows you his in his hotel room burnt out, getting ready to do a show he doesn't want to perform, He's looking back on all the things that led to his f***** up life
Summed up quite well.
Pinky's poem is "bars" from Money. LOVE how they expanded the universe by having Pink write those lines as a kid, he also becomes an inhabitant of the watcher's/our reality as well as the movie's.
The poem he reads is lyrics from "Money" from the Dark Side of the Moon.
Roger's dad died in the war, so he wrote a lot about that in these characters and themes. Like this and The Final Cut.
Just keep in mind that the main character is Pink. The guy in the bed when the girl comes in, that's pink. He's rejecting the woman who came in and she's bothering him and he's remembering back when he was a kid and he used to bother people. That's kind of simplified but this movie is very deep it's like going to take you in a three different directions but most of the time it's always pink it's not his father that you're seeing on screen.
Yup. The reflection in the mirror scene was clearly Pink/Father. If it's not clear, it's Pink.
the woman is his wife the redhead (hes neglecting her doing drugs heavily, watching sports) she turns to go find another whos interested in her likes which isnt drugs, the band, sports etc...
Many of our Brit rock n roll heroes of the 60's lost dad's in WWII. Working out the trauma brings great music.
Iron maiden included
I watched this movie at least 500 times growing up. Sometimes on heavy acid or mushrooms. The themes stuck with me. A call against Fascism on a larger scale and on a personal level how we build walls around ourselves to protect us but the wall we build is what creates our misery.
I told my friends I wouldn't go unless we got some Big "A"...I survived
Absolutely. The entire story is overshadowed by an oppressive political regime. In this story, WWII should not be taken literally. In this story Pink's nation lost the war.
No Pink has isolated himself behind his wall and the final part of his breakdown he ironically becomes the type of fascist that kicked ww2 off but finally breaks out of the wall@@SnoBear626
The guy playing "Pink" is Bob Geldof of the Boomtown Rats. He also made "Live Aid" happen!
And Live 8.
And the Boomtown Rats had a big hit with I Don't Like Mondays
And the important UK no.1 single RAT TRAP (not to be confused with the slightly later, equally fantastic RAT RACE from The Specials) and other three top ten hits, but also at least 2 good albums.
If I was a Boomtown Rat, I would be staying up all night.
@@Groose1972 It's a good night for it, Happy New Year! ua-cam.com/video/brarSq64ack/v-deo.html
It's a tricky piece of work but, once something clicks for you then you can totally see the brilliance of the story. Remember that the members of the band are very deep thinkers and use a wide variety of symbolism to convey ideas and evoke emotion. I love that you're reacting to this!
Breaking it up into ten parts isn't going to help.
I saw this when it first came out in the theaters because I loved the album.
It's a little muddled in some places, but it manages to explain what's going on with Pink's life, the flashbacks, his Father's death in WW2. His attatchment to his Mother. It will all come together for you eventually and that "aha" moment is coming up.
I love that you're doing this whole movie in bite size pieces.
Breaking it up, they way they are, is not going to help them figure anything out at all.
some of the imagery in the song "mother" is kind of confusing because it wasn't a part of the original story of "the wall". they replaced the line, "is it just a waste of time?" with "mother,am i really dying?",but they don't explain why he asks that until later in the movie. as an adolescent he took home a large rat he kept in a shed,giving it his sweater to sleep on. the rat dies and pink puts the sweater back on,and then we again see the scene of pink in bed with mother and the doctor in the room. it appears pink may have caught a virus or some other disease from the dead rat. i never really liked the inclusion of this sub-plot. it really doesn't help the story except to show pink's fear of doctors,which comes up later in "comfortably numb". you stopped "mother" in the middle of the song,so i hope you go back to the beginning in part three. i'm really enjoying this series of reactions.
I think he got sick from the rat, was bedridden for a long while, then went to check on the rat the first chance he got once he was better, but the rat died from starvation or illness. The fact he couldn't care for the rat and help it recover is something that I believe he felt guilty over and caused him to develop the idea that he's not dependable, leading to another "charge" in The Trial.
@@ianfortier6796 yeah i forget the sequence of events (the film jumps all over the place),but somehow the rat got him sick. i think they came up with that to tie in with the line "when i was a child i had a fever". waters has said that line refers to when he got sick as a child,but i don't think it was from a rat. maybe scarlet fever or something like it.
When i was a child, i had a fever. My hands felt just like two balloons. Now i have that fever once again.. in feal life and e did, i think the swelling was one of the symptoms.
Oh wow after all these years I never connected the sickness with the rat!!!
The other subtlety of his finding the rat he wants to keep as a pet and nurse back to health is that adult Pink in his hotel room is wearing a rodent homage in the form of the classic Mickey Mouse watch.
“The Wall”……Remember, everything Pink is doing and experiencing, is contributing to the bricks he uses to build his “Wall”….His Father’s death, his Mother smothering him, and soon, his angst for women……..
This came out 3 years after the album… us Floyd fans of old got it… The Album painted a much clearer picture in the Theater of the mind. 🙂
I have watched over a dozen times over the last 35 years, and every time I figure out more of what Roger was trying to express . I always remember a friend said , ' as long as you can get through watching the beginning and make it to the end of the hall way , it's all good after ' 😂
This was still 2 years BEFORE MTV started. Videos just really didn't exist at all the way you think of them. Most bands in the 50s - 70s never considered making a video, mainly since video tape was invented in the 70s.
That wasn't the dad and mom. That was him flashing back to his childhood and how it affects his relationships today. His dad died in the war, and after that it;s all Pink.
MTV was out before the movie.
Wait, what?! No, no, no no. This movie was released a year *_after_* MTV was launched. And loads and loads of bands made music videos in the '60s and '70s, and there was music-video programming on TV on shows like Top of the Pops, since the '60s, through the '70s well before MTV, like HBO's *_Video Jukebox,_* MTV's USP was that it was the first *_24/7_* music video channel. Also video tape was invented in the *_early '50s,_* not the '70s. What did come to market in the '70s was Sony's U-matic videocassette (1971), their portable VCRs, and cheaper video cameras to feed to the VCRs, which allowed small-budget production companies to cheaply make music videos of bands for both promotional and artistic purposes.
Music videos had gotten so ubiquitous by the late '70s, that TV networks started taking advantage of the plethora of free content with whole blocks of music-video programming, and the bands and record labels were perfectly happy with that arrangement. It is literally *_because_* so many bands were making music videos that music videos became popular. MTV didn't *_invent_* the modern music video; they just capitalized on what had already been happening since the Scopitone, and Cinebox jukeboxes in the '50s, and had been massively growing in popularity for decades.
It's well-known that MTV's first music video broadcast was 1978's _Video Killed the Radio Star,_ by The Buggles. This song was about the sweeping changes in technology in the 20th century. Television, which was originally all live, changed dramatically with the invention and rollout of videotape in 1951. Many former Radio stars couldn't transition their careers to the new format, due to either their looks, or lack of engagement with the camera. Hence the derisive term: "He/She's got a 'real face for Radio'." The line in the song "Put the blame on VTR" is important because the videocassette hadn't been invented then, and the videotape machines were all reel-to-reel, so "VTR," not "VCR".
But, this was all metaphorical, as a huge part of what Trevor Horn is talking about is really the state of technology as it related to music at the time. Again-in 1978, it was already so clear that Video was going to outpace Radio once again, this time for music stars, that Trevor was able to write a massive #1 hit in 16 different countries about it.
MTV, if anything, was paying homage when they made the choice to have that be their first video broadcast.
My son's high school marching band did the we don't need no education part as a marching band routine in competition, including the kids singing, all the parents sang along
I saw this movie at the Ziegfeld Theatre in NYC when it opened. I took 3 hits of mescaline before the movie so I was tripping pretty well. It was an amazing experience. We walked 8 miles home after the show.
beautiful
Your experience Mirrors my friends and I , when we went to the Midnight showing tripping high, and some drinks, and us too walking through 2 towns to get back home.. 😂😂
when this was first released - in many theaters - it was a secret midnight show (it wasn't advertised)
How a person who's dad, then himself fought against racism and hatred only to himself become a pawn of that which he detested.
The Mother and the Dr. If you listen to the song, he asks "Am I really gonna die?" indicating he became very sick as a kid and the dr said he may die. The songs ARE the Movie, and the Movie IS the songs. They are one thing really.
He was flashing back to his childhood. His wife kept trying to get his attention and he wanted no part of her. So sh stops trying. He keeps flashing back to his childhood to all the things that caused him to build this wall he is protecting himself with. And nothing was going on with mom and the Dr...lol
In case ya didnt notice The poem the teacher was reading. Are the lyrics to Money off the dark side of the moon album. PS Loving the commentary from you both Ya got me to subscribe.
That wasn't his wife that he was ignoring trying to watch TV. That was a hooker while he was on tour.
Yes, it was released in the theaters. I saw it when it came out. It was also a staple at midnight movie showings for years.
Old dude here, yes it was released in theaters. As I recall it did "okay". Won some awards.
Then there were a couple of decades of midnight movies.
"Throwing some bars" that is lyrics from one the bands old albums ("Money" from "Dark Side of the Moon")
I saw in the theatre 8th grade.
It was intense seeing on the big screen at a young age.
It's all going back to stages in Pink's life. Pink is technically Roger Waters, and all the things it's showing you are the things in life (the bricks) that contributed to Roger building a psychological wall & shutting everyone & everything out. Although there are a few parts in it where Pink is referencing things that happened in Syd Barrett's life too. Syd being the main founding member of Pink Floyd.
Excellent reaction as usual! What's going on with the overprotective mother and the doctor, is that the main character was sick with a fever, as referenced in Comfortably Numb.
Lots of flashbacks and flashforwards throughout the movie showcasing the important moments in his life that shaped and created the emotional “wall” he built around himself.
Flashforwards?
He is remembering how close to death he was and is. Keep up with his looks.
Yes, it was in the theater; I saw it with my siblings on opening weekend, and we all loved it. Yep, we're all old.
Throughout history, Wars have always left behind lots of widows and fatherless children …. Will we ever learn 😢
The poem that Pink (the boy) was writing was the song Money by Pink Floyd on the Dark Side of the Moon album.
"When the tigers broke free" didn't make the final cut of The Wall... "The Final Cut" album is really The Wall pt 3....
"You're possible past" and "A gunner's dream" are Incredible..!
And it did not make "The Final Cut" initial release. I have the album without the song. According to Wiki, it was not added to the CD until 2004. Having memorized the album before seeing the movie, I really liked the song When the Tigers Broke Free. Watching the movie made me re-listen to the album to see what other details I missed.
All of the intense cartoons were hand drawn! Zero computers at that time. Incredible.
"Come on bruh, swing your legs!" I damned near literally laughed my ass off! Good thing I packed on some holiday pounds or my twerkin' days would be through!
Pink's dad was killed while he was an infant, nd the flashbacks are about his smothering mother, his abussive teachers in then post-war British schools, and his marriage after he becomes a huge rock star and isolation from all these "bricks" inches "wall" that are built up over his life as he sits alone in his Los Angeles hotel suite… reflecting on his life and the buildup of all these "bricks" around him building his "wall".
Best Rock movie of all time. Gerald Scarfe is the visual artist behind The Wall's album, movie and concert art. His style of art is called Gonzo which was invented by Ralph Steadman who was journalist Hunter S. Thompson's illustrator. Gonzo was a term coined for Hunter, his style of journalism was called 'Gonzo', where the journalist is part of the biographical account. Thompson is a very famous writer in Pop Culture, Wikipedia him.
Roger Waters continued to hire Scarfe for his first solo album The Pros & Cons of Hitchhiking which is an excellent album, I saw the tour for this album in 1984 with Clapton on guitar. The show was 90 minutes of Floyd, a 30 minute intermission, and then they did the Pros album in it's entirety.. Scarfe made this amazing custom movie that played throughout the show which is not available even today. Best concert I've ever seen, better than the Floyd concerts I saw. Waters wanted to do a movie out of these series of concerts but he didn't have the money to do it. The show I went to probably had 5,000 people, very small venue, intimate, every seat was excellent. No special effects, just a black stage, band all dressed in black and a huge black backdrop where they played Scarfe's custom movies during most of the show. Some of the show was just pitch black and all you could see was the glimmer coming off of the instruments. Best concert I've ever heard or seen, the soundscaping was out this world for that show. Pros is a great album featuring some of Clapton's best guitar work, Roger's solo album Amused to Death is also excellent featuring Jeff Beck on guitar.
It`s so dope seeing people react to this classic bizzare art
"Goodbye Blue Sky" (the animation) is about the battle of Britian, when the nazis bombed the crap out Britian in WW II.
Every generation needs to learn about Pink Floyd
The song that starts with the schoolmaster is Jeff Porcaro on drums. He played on a few songs on this album.
That time is here again my friends ! GOODBYE Blue Sky! And these guys are musicians i think they deserve more than that it is some kind of magic !
Really enjoying watching you guys react to Floyd. Incredible band!
You guys are great for being able to understand everything as the author intended, that’s cool. Well, Pink Floyd is a genius.
Goodbye Blue Sky is about the bombing of England during the blitz.
I cannot watch this without crying
The Wedding Was Pink's As An Adult And A Rock Star, Not His Mom And Dad's Wedding.
My big brother died of an overdose December 29, 1987… 2 days before my 16th birthday. I was essentially responsible for the funeral arrangements. That night, after the funeral, our house was packed with family and friends. The kitchen counter was a fully stocked bar. I ended up locking myself in a room with a half gallon of my grandfather’s whiskey and 50 hits of lsd, and two VHS’s… this and Apocalypse Now. I just drank, ate acid, and watched them over and over for 3 days. In retrospect, it probably wasn’t the best way to deal with the situation.
Wow, shocking story!! And what else could you have done?
This movies better the second time
The doctor is in his bedroom at home as in the UK in the 1950s-1980s a doctor would do an appointment at the patient / family home.
You guys are right to that this is primarily a long form music video. It's very experimental in it's execution. This film played the midnight movie circuit for years. A lot of people got stoned watching this flick. I saw it on a presidents day weekend midnight (afternoon) showing with my brother in 1982. I was 12. We also saw Rocky Horror.
This movie is ,,,,, DEEP
There are so many levels to it. You can watch it 10 times and you are still learning and seeing it a different way.
It's like a free trip to the shrink.
What a POWERFUL FUCKING SCENE...
Very emotional watching this again. Love your thoughts and reactions to The Wall. 😊
Me toml 15 años entender esta gran pelicula.. Espefo sigan viendole la amo
Outstanding album ...
The Wall was the biggest album of that year. So we knew it backwards, forwards and upside down. When the movie came out, it just put pictures to the story we already knew so well. Its a depressing story and so is the movie. Its the music that gives it life.
Just so you know: I was subbed and somehow yt unsubscribed me. I love your reactions guys. It amuses me to no end to see that look of awestruck astonishment when you guys describe PF…happy new year guys….re-subbed and I’m keeping an eye on it…
The poem he read out loud at the class was lyrics from Pink Floyd money off The Dark Side of the Moon
Thank you guys so much for doing this
I, too was 16 when this movie came out, and already being a fan (Dark Side of the Moon and Animals saw to that) let me assure you that "Another Brick in the Wall" landed like a nuclear explosion. You couldn't get away from that song for at least two years. And yes, the movie is just as mesmerising 40 years later. Doesn't matter if it's your first time seeing it or your fiftieth. It still lands the same way. Oh, and you really want to get your hands on a copy of "Heavy Metal". Trust me. Just do it. "Taarna" alone is worth the price of admission. (And the ensuing South Park, but that's another story...)
You guys are awesome reviewing this legendary deep movie! Nice job! Hope you enjoy it.
the end of this section is HIS life , not his parents.... remember the time spans we're taking about ... his Dad died in "black 44" 1944 WWll Nazis trains carrying faces to concentration camps... to schools of kid faces being ground down by authority.... to the end of this video, the 1970's where hes grown up and marries the redhead who he neglects and she cheats...(part 3 waiting with baited breath)
The Flash Backs of the War are of Pinks Father who was killed in WWII when Pink was still and Infant.
Exciting to watch with you guys, its like seeing the rock opera for the first time with you through your eyes, gj
The poem was lyrics from The Dark Side Of The Moon.
A great album and review. I understood it from the beginning. 🙂
Mom came in and he was hot and sweating from watching the girl. She called Dr thinking he was sick. 😅
the scene with the doctor is when you was smoking and it made him sick. The Doctor along with the doctor later and more bricks in the wall. the wedding scene and the scenes in bedroom are Pink and his wife, who cheats on him, and she is another brick in the wall.
11:50 when the planes turn to crosses
When pinks in bed making a phone call, that was to his wife, the hippie wedding scene, this comes up later in another song.
The Movie is the Album. Very few speaking parts. That is what makes it an amazing flik. It's a Soundtrack Album with pictures. 😁
Teacher is reading lyrics that would become Money. Yes, Roger is a poet.
i guess this is one of those rock story telling works, like earlier Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar, Tommy and the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and later Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds and the works of Ayreon.
I commented on Part 1, but forgot to add we also used to rent this movie on VHS
It is really hard to follow. Then again I was on various substances each time I watched it. I finally watched it sober and it was still hard to folllow. The wedding scene is ment to be him and his wife. I am sure you will figure that out as you watch. This is a music video for an album. Fortunately, that album tells a story so it lends itself well to this format. So glad ya'll are here. Thanks for sharing.
On this date in 1980, PINK FLOYD's album THE WALL went to No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart (Jan 18, 1980).
COMFORTABLY NUMB
NOTE: I've put together this edit that combines live concert footage with scenes from the 1982 film 'The Wall'.
Roger Waters wrote the lyrics. While many people thought the song was about drugs, Waters claims it is not.
The lyrics are about what he felt like as a child when he was sick with a fever. As an adult, he got that feeling again sometimes, entering a state of delirium, where he felt detached from reality.
He told Mojo magazine (December 2009) that the lines, "When I was a child I had a fever/My hands felt just like two balloons" were autobiographical.
He explained: "I remember having the flu or something, an infection with a temperature of 105 and being delirious. It wasn't like the hands looked like balloons, but they looked way too big, frightening. A lot of people think those lines are about masturbation. God knows why."
In a radio interview around 1980 with Jim Ladd from KLOS in Los Angeles, Waters said part of the song is about the time he got hepatitis but didn't know it. Pink Floyd had to do a show that night in Philadelphia, and the doctor Roger saw gave him a sedative to help the pain, thinking it was a stomach disorder. At the show, Roger's hands were numb "like two toy balloons." He was unable to focus, but also realized the fans didn't care because they were so busy screaming, hence "comfortably" numb. He said most of The Wall is about alienation between the audience and band.
Exploring further, Mojo asked Waters about the line, "That'll keep you going through the show," referring to getting medicated before going on-stage. He explained: "That comes from a specific show at the Spectrum in Philadelphia (June 29, 1977). I had stomach cramps so bad that I thought I wasn't able to go on. A doctor backstage gave me a shot of something that I swear to God would have killed a f---ing elephant. I did the whole show hardly able to raise my hand above my knee. He said it was a muscular relaxant. But it rendered me almost insensible. It was so bad that at the end of the show, the audience was baying for more. I couldn't do it. They did the encore about me."
Dave Gilmour wrote the music while he was working on a solo album in 1978. He brought it to The Wall sessions and Waters wrote lyrics for it.
Gilmour believes this song can be divided into two sections: dark and light. The light are the parts that begin "When I was a child...," which Gilmour sings. The dark are the "Hello, is there anybody in there" parts, which are sung by Waters.
Waters and Gilmour had an argument over which version of this to use on the album. They ended up editing two takes together as a compromise. Dave Gilmour said in Guitar World February 1993: "Well, there were two recordings of that, which me and Roger argued about. I'd written it when I was doing my first solo album [David Gilmour, 1978]. We changed the key of the song's opening the E to B, I think. The verse stayed exactly the same. Then we had to add a little bit, because Roger wanted to do the line, 'I have become comfortably numb.' Other than that, it was very, very simple to write. But the arguments on it were about how it should be mixed and which track we should use. We'd done one track with Nick Mason an drums that I thought was too rough and sloppy. We had another go at it and I thought that the second take was better. Roger disagreed. It was more an ego thing than anything else. We really went head to head with each other over such a minor thing. I probably couldn't tell the difference if you put both versions on a record today. But, anyway, it wound up with us taking a fill out of one version and putting it into another version."
This was the last song Waters and Gilmour wrote together. In 1986 Waters left the band and felt there should be no Pink Floyd without him.
When they played this on The Wall tour, a 35-foot wall was erected between the band and the audience as part of the show. As the wall went up, Gilmour was raised above it on a hydraulic lift to perform the guitar solo while Waters was spotlighted in front of the wall below. It was Gilmour's favorite part of the show.
In the movie The Wall, this plays in a scene where the main character, a rock star named "Pink," loses his mind and enters a catatonic state before a show. It was similar to what Syd Barrett, an original member of the band, went through in 1968 when he became mentally ill and was kicked out of the band.
This song is the final step in Pink's (Roger Water's) transformation into the Neo-Nazi, fascist character you see in the movie The Wall. Medics and the band manager come in and give Pink a shot to pull him out of his catatonic stupor, the manager pays protesting Meds some cash to shut up and let him take Pink to the concert in the state he's in (obviously a threat to his health, but the Meds, who probably don't make enough money, accept). In the movie Pink begins to melt on the way there, and underneath he finds that he is the cruel, fascist model of a Nazi party representative by the time he arrives at the concert. Supporting this, afterwards are the songs "The Show Must Go On" (Pink realizing as he gets to the show that there isn't really any turning back, and he's forced to go on-stage), "In the Flesh II" (the redone version of the first song on the album, now with Nazi-Pink singing, threatening random minorities), and "Run Like Hell" (after the crowd, loving nazi-Pink, has been whipped into a frenzy, now hunting minorities in the street, much like late 1930 Germany). While it does seem that this is a song about the "joy of heroin," it has little, if any connection to heroin even if it's condition resembles that of somebody who's totally wasted.
Gilmour's second guitar solo on "Comfortably Numb" regularly appears in Best Guitar Solo of All Time polls. In an August 2006 poll by viewers of TV music channel Planet Rock it was voted the greatest guitar solo of all time.
For the solo, the Pink Floyd guitarist used a heavy pick on his Fender Strat with maple neck through a Big Muff and delay via a Hiwatt amp and a Yamaha RA-200 rotating speaker cabinet.
Gilmour told Guitar World that the solo didn't take long to develop: "I just went out into the studio and banged out 5 or 6 solos. From there I just followed my usual procedure, which is to listen back to each solo and mark out bar lines, saying which bits are good. In other words, I make a chart, putting ticks and crosses on different bars as I count through: two ticks if it's really good, one tick if it's good and cross if it's no go. Then I just follow the chart, whipping one fader up, then another fader, jumping from phrase to phrase and trying to make a really nice solo all the way through. That's the way we did it on 'Comfortably Numb.' It wasn't that difficult. But sometimes you find yourself jumping from one note to another in an impossible way. Then you have to go to another place and find a transition that sounds more natural."
It takes a few listens/watches to get this, because it was never made obvious, as good art used to be. This isn't American comedy or Reality TV. Having a synopsis helps, but going in dry the first time is just what we all had to do. Originally, it took years to figure out this album.
17:50 love that 😂
19:00 alway dug this because it’s an anthem for kids against adults
My heart breaks for that boy on the playground.
I worked as lifeguard at an open air piblic swimming baths in my 20s and quite often small boys were obviousely looking for a father person , Just took my hand , It made me quite sad , My father died of wounds after WW2 like Rogers,
12:05 I mean what they’re doin here is next level
The lead character “Pink” is a combination of several characters- Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, and a burnt out rock star that never really existed.
I lived this. Schools everywhere were banning Pink Floyd.
That was grown up Pink and his wife. Not Pinks mom and dad. This is a movie that is about struggling with depression and addiction among other life issues. It is really a deep dark film. The Music is what makes it so great. Really have to watch it more than once to be honest. The music makes it easy to watch multiple times in my opinion.
it was a double album long before the movie was thought of,,,,they didnt write a movie score for a film,,,,they made a film score for the album (alan parker directed)
8:45 note the scene starting approximately here features the second part of the song "When The Tigers Broke Free," which was specially created for The Wall soundtrack. But, it ended up eventually on remasters of "The Final Cut", the last 1983 album with Roger Waters under the Pink Floyd name which dealt even more explicitly with his father's death in the war, and war generally. IMO, The Wall despite what some fans say is NOT a Waters solo album, but The Final Cut I consider one. Gilmour and Mason (Wright had been fired by then) were featured players under Waters very strict hand, and it was a chore for them, although Gilmour did do a few great solos and one fun but profane vocal.
Nope, it was intended to be part of the album... It just wasn't put in it. It was used on the movie and yes it was included in The Final Cut in... 2004...
The kids poem was lyrics to the song 💰 MONEY😊
there are 3 levels of time : kid, child and man. Of course man is the present: Pink (rockstar) is in a hotel room waiting for his next show and his mind goes away between past and imaginary present or future (he's down by several stuff). Roger Waters and Alan Parker want tell us the trouble inside a wall of feelings and thoughts. 🤩
It is a movie! saw it in the Miami Planetarium with laser light show BITD. At the end the ceilings parted.. That is son and Mom in a toxic relationship.
They would do Midnight showings of this movie at Some theaters
LMAO.... I told ya.... ;)
Another one is " TOMMY " by : THE WHO. That's another movie to watch 🎸
Thats Pink with his wife as they are falling apart.
I wish u guys would react to more "The Wall " movie 🎬. I enjoy it 😊
That little boy Pink Floyd in this movie is Roger Waters it’s a twisted version of his autobiography with a different ending
Cinematography is excellent by todays standards
It took several viewings for me to understand all that was said in the film. I first saw it in the movies and just focused on the songs, not what was being told.
Let it flow, don't try to catch everything at the first shot. It will work in the background of your minds and will become clearer later. The character of Pink shows a mixture of real events from both the lives of Roger Waters and Syd Barrett, both war orphans. The adult Pink is mainly Syd, but the one who later you'll find behind the wall is Roger. Plus, the fascist already spotted at the beginning of the movie is just a metaphor.
👍
