56 The Wall




"The most expensive student film ever. " Alan Parker - Director

Dated, yet still emotionally powerful. The story of self destructive Pink on a journey of self loathing , hate and despair. So, not a feel good frolic in the park.

Get past the feel sorry for me story of the movie and you will feel sorry for yourself or at least dark as hell. I had heard a rumor that when this originally screened all the floyd fans were dropping acid to see the show then afterwards some were walking into traffic or committing suicide. I dont know if there is any truth to this urban legend.

Pink Floyd the Wall, is one of the best examples of a rock opera emotional journey. I would like to see more movies like this.

It was a dull, storyless two-hour-long music video. The album barely told a story, and Roger Waters' screenplay, which followed the album to a T, offered nothing new or insightful into the character Pink.
