Review of Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982) by Paul J — 18 Oct 2008
How many other bands can be compared to Pink Floyd? The more time passes, the more remarkable their music becomes. From the Barret era, to the Waters period and onto the Gilmour years, they have brought such depth to Rock n' Roll.
Being a major Pink Floyd fan, I'm slightly bias to how much I enjoy this film. The visuals are spectacular, the editing stellar and the synchronization between sight and sound is outstanding. The experience of The Wall is one-of-a-kind and Roger Waters created an epic rock opera that never ages.
In the late 70s, Waters spat into a fan's face during a Toronto concert. This moment of self-reflection and disgust is what gave birth to the concept of The Wall. Much of the story is autobiographical, yet Waters takes it to another level, by making it a cautionary tale.
As far as rock movies go, this one is a masterpiece.
