It's a short review

Background: Pink Floyd, whose style is psychedelic, space, and progressive rock, makes good use of effects and synthesizers to simulate grand background sound effects; "the wall" is a narrative concept album. Barrett's personal experience is the main reference to the production of semi-autobiographical albums, his musical ideas are avant-garde and full, and a lot of his personal philosophical thoughts are mixed in his creation.
Personally related: A diehard fan of Pink Floyd's main creation in the later period, the concept album "The Wall" has been listened to dozens of times for the entire track, familiar with the melody, rhythm, orchestration, and basic understanding of the lyrics.
This movie can be called an extended mv of "the wall". The whole piece is fully integrated into the philosophical thoughts of the songwriter and screenwriter Roger Waters; there is very little dialogue, and the lyrics and psychedelic and industrial images describe a band lead singer whose father died in the war when he was not born and was raised by his mother. , under the multiple blows of love, politics, etc., he eventually turned gloomy and grotesque, and established his inner "high wall" to isolate him from the outside world. The film makes heavy use of metaphors and uses characteristic animated characters (eg, a flower/monster in the shape of two labia with sharp teeth to refer to the female figure who brings harm and shadow to Pink). The whole film is full of visual impact, and at the same time, the action and scene switching are perfectly matched with the rhythm and melody of the music, which is extremely shocking.

Pink Floyd: The Wall quotes

  • Pink: [singing quitely to himself with his poems in a bathroom stall] Do you remember me? The way it used to be? Do you think we should have been closer? Put out my hand, just to touch your soft hair. To make sure in the darkness, that you were still there. And I have to admit, I was just a little afraid. Of the ones living under the dirty old knife. And the ones who were pointed with guns to their backs.

  • Pink: [speaking and screaming into megaphone] The worms will convince outside Brixton Bud Station will be moving along at about twelve o' clock down Stockwell road, and then point will start heading Abbots road and walk calmly with resistance, leaving twelve minutes to three will be moving along Lambeth road towards Vauxhall Bridge. Now when we get to the other side of Vauxhall Bridge where in the Westminster brought area it's quite possible we may encounter some Jew boys all the way from four and five and take them back by the way we go. And they came Midds Abbots and we saw them killed! Million of gay people screaming murder, murder came all around and shoot! Remember to make it to high clock corner or all of you are killed! Were in the door! now close the door, close the damn door! the door! the door! the door!
