    Is it possible to accept a wall around us or a place (to be a brik) in the wall?

    I was not onto rock at all, and was persuaded to see this with with a friend. I was blown away by the music as I was a classical music nerd. It made a huge impact and a Pink Floyd fan for life.

    Amazing movie that fits the incredible music of Pink Floyd.

    This movie is a bit different than any other one out there. There is mostly no dialog and voice acting, it’s all being translated by music. Pink Floyd has made a fever dream monstrosity about a famous musician “Pink.” Who is ignorant about society and the world around him and just watches war. All of his childhood memories and war-like flashbacks of his dead father connect throughout the film. In fact the storytelling is so good that not only is the imagery and music heavily provided by a host of great animation, unique sections and really good music. But scene by scene, you're seeing Pink grow as a character and how he acts. Never does anything feel disconnected or loose throughout this flick. Except for the ending where it’s not really explained why Pink is in court, but is provided by some of the best animation in the film. If I was to rank the overall presentation, animation and music; it would go like this. The music is genuinely great with a lot of catchy and emotional tunes and some decent ones here and there. Dirty Woman is my least favorite because of how it’s played out and the overall theme. But I cannot deny that the fantastic animation has really helped shine this movie in a way. Details within the presentation are astonishing because it’s portrayed very well scene by scene, and helps the storytelling and overall structure feel natural. If you dig unique movies like this or just a fan of Pink Floyd’s work, you will love this. It is a great and fascinating film of storytelling and emotional rides through musical tunes and wonderfully surreal animation.

    The Wall movie is strongly subjective to politics, music career, and most importantly, life issues that lead people into madness. The movie combines all possible factors of life that play a huge role in altering someone's mental health. The Metaphorical Wall, representing mental isolation from the world, is by far the most creative idea I've seen in both music and film industry. Loved and enjoyed the animations (keep in mind that the movie was small-budget and released in 1982.) definitely would recommend watching and listening to the album independently

    Maybe not the most coherent film as the non-linear storyline doesn’t make it always easy to follow. But the movie is very sincere in the way it grapples multiple themes and the wall both as a metaphor and the album blends quite well in. If you like Pink Floyd, this does add good visualisation to many of the songs on the album.

    A truly exceptional motion picture. Alan Parker was a great director.

    As others have mentioned, it's not for everyone, if you like pink floyd and you truly understand the meaning behind the album then it's a must see.
