The Wall

[stevGNR666]

Hey, what does everyone think of the Pink Floyd Movie The Wall?

I think it's above all the end all ego trip for Roger Waters yet has brilliant imagery.

What about you?

[SpUd_Jr]

I have the film on DVD and i love it

i watch it very often

the animated sequences are brilliant

[dizzigzag]

from what ive seen of it it looks very good alot better than The Who's "tommy" but Spud hasnt showed me the whole thing yet so im considering breaking into his house and stealing it from him.

[IzzySixx]

its not bad a bit art school and a bit wierd but worth a watch.

id rather just listen to the album though.

[alexa]

the movie is really good... i watch it every now and then

the album just fucking rocks though... brilliant

[Battlehawk]

I think it's a trippy movie, and its good

[the tourist]

masterpiece!

[chicagocoma13]

An equally amazing and disturbing movie. Arguably the greatest rock movie of all time. Make sure it is 4:20 when you watch it-----

[Sprite]

i don't do drugs and i never have and i never will so im not into that movie

[chicagocoma13]

You will be glad you don't do drugs after seeing The Wall. It is still a great movie. You don't have to do drugs to like it. It was directed by Alan Parker who did many great films. Angel Heart is my personal favorite. I will still watch it at 4:20 however------

i don't do drugs and i never have and i never will so im not into that movie

why does everyone think you have to be on drugs to watch this movie????

i have never, ever done drugs in my life, and i understand this movie with no problem, just listen to the lyrics and watch the images and its simple!

but what about that one time with the...

oh wait, i wasn't s'posed to talk about that

but seriously, the movies is great, even when you are sober

[kopie85]

Never seen it.

[White_Mouse]

I have seen it both normal and high and I really don't see any difference. That movie is a masterpiece, that's for sure.

Great metaphors,and also very, very trippy.

[murray_TH]

I think it's a great movie. The animation is tremendous and the music's excellent. I do agree that it's probably the ultimate in Roger Waters self indulgence, however, that only serves to add more enjoyment to it all.

Still haven't bought the DVD and I lent someone the video and the guitar tabs book I had a while back and haven't seen them since! I've watched it so many times in the past that I won't watch it again for years now anyway. Great film.

I need to get a Pink Floyd album. Should I det Dark Side Of The Moon or The Wall?

[SpUd_Jr]

neither, get Wish You Were Here, then get DSOM and then The Wall

[chicagocoma13]

What about Animals ?? (My personal favorite)

[SpUd_Jr]

actually maybe you should get Echoes: The best of..

amazing collection with a little bit of every album (despite shortened echoes and SOYCD )

[stevGNR666]

thanks for all the feedback...

the overall philosophy/theme is interesting as well:

that we're all fascists in some ways and we have to find ways to deal with it and also to learn from this story by not bottling it up inside, hence "the wall"

i thought it was also kinda sad, the story itself

Start with either DSOTM or Wish You Were Here.

After you have both, move on to stuff like Animals, The Wall, or Meddle (less conceptual, musicaly incredible)

CMON!!!!!!!!....PIPERS AT THE GATES OF DAWN!!!

Wish You Were Here is also my other favorite

of course i like all of em though rock2

But HISTORY!! listen to original pink floyd and then progress to post syd!!!

man i love that guy's solo albums as well

anyways...perhaps not start with that but definitely give it a try...it's up there with sgt peppers as the best album coming out in 67' so...yeah...67' is the peak season for albums...the doors debuts...stones come out with 3 albums...the yardbirds were in full bloom, the who as well (The Who Sell Out was in 67') GODDAMN what a good year for music

[Jochen]

I think the movie's good, I like how they included the song What Shall We Do Now?

[Rumin]

I don't understand why people say that you have to be on drugs to get this movie. It's not hard to grasp on to. A man builds his own 'wall' against society, who he feels has screwed him a lot by taking his father from him in World War II, having his wife cheat on him, and having an uncaring mother. He then discovers that life behind the Wall isn't like he thought and tries to tear it down.

Personally, I love this movie. I have watched it dozens of times and have never got tired of it. The visuals, the story, the music, everything is just great! Phenomenal movie, especially if you are like me and enjoy movies that defy the usual plot standards.
