Okay. I'm getting sick of everyone making their own damn threads for the movie. So now, I'm making a collective thread about the movie here. So yeah, anything about the movie, discuss it here. Terminal Frost In the film The Wall produced by Roger Waters there are many messages deeper than what is shown in the film it self but in many cases it is unclear just what that is as well as many lyrics (will be a different thread). I have seen the film many times and own a copy of it I have also seen documentary explaining allot of it. Here is some questions- 1.What is the wall? 2.what scenes of pink doing certain things represent what band members? If there are any other questions you feel free to ask me the meaning of something of the significance of something else. I may not know exactly it is but hopefully between all of us here we should be able to grasp a better understanding of what was trying to be expressed and how it still pertains to life here with this war as it did then. So yeah. Have you seen The Wall? Do you love it/hate it? Discuss the movie freely.

I like it, it's really different...and it really lets you have a chance to go deeper into The Wall album's meaning.

I love the sequence for Goodbye Blue Sky. I was kind of out of it while watching that so the part that's supposed to lull you to a false sense of security (at least i think) worked on me. Then the dove turned to blood and guts and gore and even though I should have expected it it still startled me.

1.What is the wall? A psychological boundary between Pink's mind and reality. As every bad thing happened to him, he put another 'brick in the wall' and tried to block himself out, pretty much pushing the problem aside rather than dealing with it. He sinks himself into drugs and his mind escapes into the little world he had created in order for him to realize what he was doing wasn't helping him. At the end, though, he finds himself breaking the wall down as he is sentenced to live in reality during the trial. It's perfectly simple, when you really think about it. I don't get why people think you have to be on drugs in order to understand it.
2.what scenes of pink doing certain things represent what band members? The sequence where Pink shaves all the hair off his body was remnant of what Syd did during a crowded dinner party. Syd Barrett left the party, shaved his head, and returned like nothing had happened.
Most of the non-psychological things like Pink's father dying in the war were based off Roger Water's life, but it wasn't an auto-biographical movie like lots of people think it was. There were just some parts that Waters put his own experiences into.

My favorite The Wall animation sequences are (all of them, but most favorite) the bleeding British Flag turning into a red cross, and, of course, the marching hammers. I loved the eagles, too, but the hammers and the cross just gave me that giddy inspirational feeling.

Yes you can analyze the wall like that and disect it because yes there are hidden messages EVERYWHERE. They say that this film was crafted, nothing and I mean NOTHING happened by accident.
Bob Geldof was so into character that he shaved his eyebrows even when he wasn't supposed to and yelled "take that ********" [the only thing he says in the movie that's NOT in the wall album] hell, even the curtains in the scene when the girl asks him to dance have the "pink" face on them.
but I think that The Wall is more of a thing to be taken in. To groove upon. To just bask in it's glory and let it's story be told you know?

I think "When the Tigers Broke Free" Should have been in The Wall (CD)
It sort of helps to illustrate the metaphor of the worms, as the politicians who care nothing for people, and merely use them as stepping stones to achieve their own ambitions. Hopefully my copy of the movie comes in on the 7th, I've had a Hell of a time trying to find it.
