Pink Floyd The Wall is a film unlike any other. It follows the life story of a rock star named "Pink." As a child, his Father is killed at war. During Pink's childhood, he was overprotected by his mother, and then was severely punished by his abusive teachers at school. He mentally builds a wall around himself to isolate him from the troubles he is facing, unaware that this will strongly affect him later in life. When he grows up, the movie combines live action and animation to show how drug abuse, neo fascism, and relationships affect his life, his music career, and eventually lead to madness.
The animation sequences in the movie are very creative, mesmerizing, and at times, disturbing. The Wall is very successful at telling a story, making it dramatic, and combining visually interesting images to catch the viewer's attention. All of these elements are perfectly accentuated by the music of the 1979 album "The Wall."
As a fan of Pink Floyd, I really enjoyed this movie. It is a good movie, and at times, it is like a really bizarre music video. Those of you who aren't fans of Pink Floyd may not enjoy this as much. For those who are fans of Pink Floyd, or their album "The Wall," I highly recommend this movie. If you enjoyed this movie's surreal qualities and unique images, another movie I would recommend is David Lynch's cult classic Eraserhead. That movie isn't a musical, but it does have unusual images and does focus on madness in a way.
The Wall is a must see for any Pink Floyd fan, or anyone who likes one of a kind movies.
