On Pink Freud and Freud

The first time I heard the band's name, I remembered it deeply. Because it contains the words "Freud", I like psychology, so I deeply remember this awesome band.
From the very beginning, this film shows its alternative. The film was shot in the 1980s. It can be said to be a landmark film. It is avant-garde and expresses various rock and roll spirits, reflecting how different the positioning of rock is.
Why is the word "Freud" mentioned here?
That's because the creation of the protagonist's spiritual world comes from the influence of his childhood, which creates his later personality.
Psychologist Freud's books express this view: the development of personality in childhood has a profound impact on adult personality, and even life.
Especially the male protagonist's fear and even disgust for women.
The cry of a face emerging from the wall reminded me of Mr. Lu Xun's "The Scream".
This is an autobiography of the band, or an interpretation of the music album "the Wall".
Anti-war, anti-industrial, anti-assimilation.
It turned out that rock and roll smashed everything because of these.
Break through the iron cage that binds us, shout again and again.

This excavation of human nature is the core idea expressed by this film.

Pink Floyd: The Wall quotes

  • Pink: [singing] Are there any queers in the audience tonight? Get 'em up against the wall! That one in the spotlight, he don't look right! Get him up against the wall! And that one looks Jewish... and that one's a coon! Who let all this riff raff into the room? That one's smoking a joint! And that one's got spots! If I had my way, I'd have all of you shot!

  • Pink: Stop! I wanna go home, take off this uniform, and leave the show. I'm waiting in this cell because I have to know... have I been guilty all this time?
