Review of Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982) by Mattbrady99 — 01 Aug 2020
"All in all, you're just another brick in the wall.".
"Pink Floyd: The Wall", a compelling visual journey of the disturbed and tragic mind. It is one long music video, which is not really a negative, not with this movie.
I don't listen to a lot of Pink Floyd's music, so watching this was quite the surreal experience, but I connected and understood the surrealness to a weird extent. I think anyone who is or is not a fan will have an interesting and unique experience. Any sort of character development comes through the music, which itself tells the whole story. This will be the closest we will ever come to examine Roger Waters mindset and feelings.
The songs themselves are not only amazing, but brilliantly expressed and unequal compared to other bands. The animated sequences that went with the songs were so remarkable it makes the songs strike an extra chord to your subconscious.
Overall rating: RIP Alan Parker. A brilliant director who took a band and adapted it into cinema.
