Review of Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982) by J K — 21 Jul 2010
A cinematic masterpiece. Mind bending, disturbing, unsettling and downright intelligent. The last true rock opera ever produced and the only rock opera that isn't hokey, forced or poorly acted. Bob Geldof's central character work is phenomenal and Roger Waters' songwriting are absolutely critical to every scene.
Granted, this is pure political commentary, especially if you are from England or are anti-war, but there are universal themes that apply to anyone even today (i.e. fascism, anti-war sentiments, mind-control, the power of fame and its ability to destroy a person, moral corruption).
A cinematic masterpiece and a one-of-a-kind film that can never be duplicated. Also worth watching while severely intoxicated. Director Alan Parker did something with the filming of the movie where you can see hidden images if you're watching this movie unfocused.
Try it for yourself. Hope the giant ass-man with the scrotum for a nose doesn't give you nightmares.
