@crucialfyah It's pretty funny that he didn't bat an eye to those lines. Could it be that he was too stoned to remember or that he just really doesn't pay attention? One thing I'm pretty sure of is that he just doesn't get The Floyd. He asked the question of Dark Side, how many of us were dancing to this music. 🙄
The wall is a metaphor for this troubled guy who isolated himself from everyone due to trauma. Every song is another brick and it represents himself blocking himself from people. You can see the symbolisms of the teacher animation turning to the fascist hammer, implying the teachers methods were that of an authoritarian. There’s hundreds of symbolisms, and he’s comfortably numb is him being injected with drugs and later goes crazy believing himself to be a fascist dictator. He feels so guilty after this that he puts himself up in a metaphorical trial, when the wall falls pink is left to the open world with the rubble. Roger waters wrote a lot of it based on his own life with snippets of Syd Barret. It is a big epic album and nothing I’ve seen has beaten it story wise
During the trial he puts himself on, he judges that he must tear down the wall to restore his sanity. On the album, if you listen very closely after the outro to the album, the last thing on the album is a spoken line. The line is, "Isn't this where?" Then, when you flip the album over and restart it, the very first lines at the beginning of the album are "we came in." This is to show how, in life, after we build our walls and tear them down, we just start building a new wall, and the cycle continues. And the whole thing begins again.
Pink’s early trauma continues through his life. Mr Kezzy doesn’t seem to have empathy or sympathy. Like man up bro, go cap your wife and her lover. Not everyone thinks of murder when a relationship sours. Maybe watch The Blitz released 2021. In addition to his father’s death, there were bombing raids, food rationing, his inconsiderate mother, threats of German invasion…
To me, as a depression sufferer, I see this whole album as a man who has always pushed his emotions away. He has built a mental "wall" around himself . . . it works to a degree, but inevitably fails and he is left exposed and can't cope with all those emotions he has put behind his wall.
Its not just his dad. It's the school system failing him and a teacher that belittled him and beat him, his wife cheating on him, the excessesfamd pressures of being a famous musician, drug use, psychosis, etc. Each of these are just added bricks to the wall of his separation from reality.
It is a personality disorder in Pink. One aspect of this disorder is the assignment of blame to others. Hence the desire for isolation. Only when Pink is all alone with himself can he realize that it were not „the others“. Until then, guilt is handed over to others. That is why it continues, because this disturbance still exists. Even after isolation. This is probably an unwanted confession from Roger Waters, because maybe his personality was similar in her disorder to that of Pink.
@mobilerepro I'm no therapist and I know the backstory on Water's grown distain for the audience etc. But as a stand-alone movie, I see it as more nurture than nature. Though I'm sure there is an underlining mental condition. Pink is sitting in the hotel room isolated from the beginning of the movie recalling all the traumatic events in his life and how each one was another brick to that isolating moment. Only when Numb ends is he "reborn" into the blaming of others and the violence that comes with it. Once the damage is done, he then goes into the mental trial and finds guilt within himself. And I always presumed he killed himself and left the next generation cleaning up his mess instead of facing the consequences. But that's just my take.
That’s astute analysis. I differ slightly from your assessment of him and after careful consideration, my professional opinion is he’s batshit crazy….. he even tells you that on the trial. I’ll meet you in the middle then and can we agree he’s a couple of butties short of a picnic 🤪
@@antimatter2380on the album it actually says before the first track ‘ we came in’ and after the last track it says ‘ is this where ‘ I think .. so if you play it on a loop it’s says is this where we came in.
@antimatter2380 yeah, there was actually one point in the movie that was tying all of that together through rapid flashback scenes and you had your eyes closed during it.
Much respect you , my great grandfather was killed serving to protect the British from the Germans and died on Christmas Day of 44 and it changed many of lives for my family
I've been looking for the film reaction on TH-cam for weeks. This is the very first reaction to this movie that does it credit. The only other The Wall Movie reactions either have terrible sound, or the people reviewing it have no clue what's going on, don't use captions and completely misunderstood what's happening. Thanks man! This is how you do Pink Floyd!
....Are you kidding me? He was STILL entirely clueless and stupid through the entire movie. He literally understood NOTHING in this film. How was that a good reaction?
The Wall is a film about building emotional walls to shield oneself from the world, hiding one’s true self. The masks on the children symbolize society's push for conformity, making everyone behave the same way and follow society's rules. Pink, the protagonist, struggles with the trauma of his father's senseless death during the war, hinted at with the metaphor, "Daddy's flown across the ocean," meaning his father is gone. Pink’s poems, written in his notebook, include lyrics from The Dark Side of the Moon. The film was made after the release of The Wall album, and as a devoted Pink Floyd fan, I didn’t fully grasp the album's depth until I saw the film. One of the most striking lines for me is: "And my eye still goes damp to find his majesty SIGNED it with his own rubber STAMP,” referring to a cold, official letter King George sent to Pink’s mother about his father's death. Pinky evolves into a rock star who is burned out by the repetition and emptiness of fame, only experiencing variety in the change of city from one gig to the next. This cycle leads him to experiment with increasingly heavy drugs. After "Comfortably Numb," Pink appears at a show as a fascist leader, embodying a tyrant who combines Nazi and Ku Klux Klan elements. The hammers are a metaphor for fascist symbols like the swastika, as Pink leads followers in hateful ideologies against marginalized groups.
1:07:58 “Vera” is about real person Vera Lynn (born March 20, 1917, East Ham, Essex [now in Greater London], England-died June 18, 2020, Ditchling, East Sussex) Dame Vera Margaret Lynn was an English singer whose sentimental material and wholesome stage persona endeared her to the public during World War II. Broadcasts of her songs of love and longing were particularly resonant with members of the military fighting abroad, which led to her nickname, “the Forces’ Sweetheart.” She remained popular into the 21st century.
The concert at the end of Dutch liberation day (5th of May) performed annually on the canals of Amsterdam always ends with Some Sunny Day playing while king Willem-Alexander (and before him his mother queen Beatrix) leaves the concert on a boat.
Floyd gets into your soul. Been listening since 1970. When I need to destress, go into a dark room and plug Floyd in. My wife sometimes tells me to plug in knowing I come back completely calm. Therapeutic is the only word that comes to mind. The more you listen, the more you need. Dave south Africa.
I think the masks worn by the kids represents how the system tries to erase kids' individuality ... instead of all being unique beings, they all just look the same. Also, it was shown by how they were turning them in to generic ground beef, to wipe out their unique individuality.
I've known Pink Floyd before I was born, my dad, when we lived in Anchorage Alaska in 1973-74, would come home, get the fireplace going, turn on a tanning lamp, throw on his headphones and smoke a Jay. Seriously. I still remember that. Can't remember a day in my life without Floyd..
@@noneofurbizness5838 explain the tanning lamp thing for me…. I’m assuming your dad was just in a pair of Speedo’s to get the full benefit of his after work tanning session after getting the fire going which makes me think you was sitting there freezing until he got home and starting chonging jazz cigarettes in front of his kid??? And put headphones so you couldn’t even hear Floyd ? None of this makes sense to me 🤷♀️ I’m guessing by your username that it’s none of my business
@LunarJetwoman more like the coaches shorts, had the tiny shades. 3 feet from the fireplace and sunlamp. When he had to change record side he'd turn his chair.
So many reaction videos of the songs from The Wall with no context or even an awareness that this movie exists! Kudos for doing this! Loved watching your eyes being opened!
I couldn't believe it, on the way home from Thanksgiving in Guantanamo while serving on the USS MT. Whitney, the Captain allowed this movie to show on ships tv. 1985.
Pink is played by Bob Geldof who went on to organise Live Aid (1985) and Live 8 (2005). For Live 8, he got PF reunited with Roger Waters to close the gig.
Awesome reaction! Thanks for showing! Pink Floyd will now and forever be in your soul! Pink Floyd is deeper than the Mariana trench, higher than any satellites orbiting earth, cooler than an iceberg in a river of liquid nitrogen, hotter than a solar flare of lava spouted from the sun, smoother than a quantum stabilized atom mirror, more Zen than 10,000 Buddhist monasteries, larger than what we know as our universe. Their music is an enigma that is beyond what we are capable of comprehending.
The Wall is a metaphor for a psychological wall inside his head. Every experience, mostly negative is a brick that is a part of his psychological wall. This is a hard movie to follow since it doesn't follow the traditional movie format. It's almost like pulp fiction in that scenes are not in order. You have to watch it multiple times.
Roger never knew his father, that soldier who was killed was playing Rogers father. A small part of the film is partially autobiographical i believe about not knowing his dad as roger was a war baby.
Don't know if you noticed, but when the teacher was reading his poetry to the class, they were lyrics from the song Money, from the Dark Side Of The Moon album. Major props for doing this while movie without skips or cuts. That earned a sub from me. Great job.
Notice how the teacher is unhappy and henpecked by his wife at home and takes out his own inadequacies and frustration out on Pink and the children he teaches overall
It hits waaaaay more different when you watch the actual video rather than just listening to the audio,I found that out a few decades ago,loved your reaction though bro,keep the content coming❤
in a nutshell: "The Wall" is about the Englishman Roger Waters losing his Dad in the war against the Germans in WWII and then struggling to handle the stresses of being a world famous rock star.
That's like 25% of it, as his own story can be used to supplement the story being told in The Wall, but Roger Waters has stated that it isn't 'about' him. It's more of a commentary about how one can become detached and self-isolate (building a wall) to the point of blaming others for your own internal insecurities... which can lead one to fascism as they attempt to connect to 'something' - and that 'something' is a unified hatred and fear. As the trial concludes, it ultimately shows that it is self-defeating though as even as you battle and 'win' against your 'enemies', you are still left with the wall. You can only get rid of the wall by addressing it. By actually looking for a possible door that others may be trying to get you to find, rather than trying to climb the whole thing all at once by yourself (an impossible task).
They wrote the album, the film , and the stage production, which I was lucky enough to see on my 16th birthday, at the same time. It was always intended to be a spectacle. And it was.....
Dude this was an awesome reaction. Not only did you show the whole movie, not all chopped up. You didn't go all crazy stopping fifty sixty times you did it credit. Well done sir I'll subscribe.
I suggest either Uma Guma Atom Heart Mother The Division Bell Not necessarily in that order If you want to find out what early Floyd was like listen to Piper at the Gates of Dawn. 1967 I first heard Piper at the Gates of Dawn in 68 on the radio. Thing is my brother's and I were out in the field loading hay. We stopped the truck and listened. I have been a fan atic ever since. Lol 🚜🤠🐂
The movie animations, live action sequences, and escapist mental gymnastics that the movie offers above and beyond the music really sets the context and provides a richer experience.
It was pretty fun watching you sort of re-discover the album. I had a similar experience so don't feel bad not picking things up the first time! I probably listened to it dozens of times before seeing the movie and it put a whole new perspective on things. Made me appreciate and love the album even more.
The character of Pink is an amalgam of Roger Waters' and original band member Syd Barrett's life. Syd had a psychotic break with reality and Roger became very embittered and isolated from fans and those around him. The wall is the psychological barrier that keeps the character of Pink isolated from any real relationships. It begins with the loss of his father, then progresses through an over-protective mother, being sent away to boarding school, and eventually the dissolution of his marriage. There are also drugs and addiction issues thrown into the mix. He feels abused by authority growing up, and in the end, he becomes an abuser of authority over the fans who long to hear his music. Crowds rush to hear him, hanging on his every words, and as he breaks with reality, the only way he knows how to lash out is to become the very thing that abused him in his youth. Much of what you witness is not reality, but the psychoses he endures. The child in him seeks to understand what is happening, but what he becomes is no longer recognizable even to himself. In the end, the biggest fear any person faces is having his deepest, darkest secrets exposed to the world around him. The very wall that isolates him also protects him from the pain of his past. Now, in the end, it is ripped away. And it is always the next generation that is left to clean up the mess of the former generation's pain, which is where the film ends.
1:39:30 Have you never watched a movie? Yes, the credits of a movie list every single person involved in the movie. From the lead actors and director to the drivers, coffee lady and accountants.
I went to the show when it first came out and listened to the album many times before hand, and it probably took me and other people I know well over 25 years or so to fully understand the meaning of this masterpiece.And there's some things I catch that I didn't realize still to this day. I noticed something just watching this that I never caught before. Now after this watch the Wall live in Berlin year 1991 Roger Waters does this show and there's also one that he performed in 2017
I remember seeing this in the movies when I was in my late teens. The scene where be breaks down and trashes the suite, hanging out the window with his hand on the glass shard, bleeding, cursing out the world...the whole theater was sitting there in stunned silence ...wow, so intense. So many disturbing themes and scenes in this movie. And these messages.....look around us today.
“All in all, or in two’s the ones who truly love you, walk up and down outside your wall. Some hand in hand, some gathered together in bands, the bleeding hearts and the artists make their stand. And when they’ve given you their all, some stagger and fall afterall, it’s not easy banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.” - Pink Floyd The Wall end credits song. We have all at one point or another watched on the sidelines as some of our loved ones struggled with their demons. Some “survive” others break through and thrive but unfortunately the majority just die. Reach out when and where the spirit leads you. Sometimes just hearing your voice can make a world of difference to someone who is suffering in silence. Many times hiding behind a smiling face, is a friend or loved one who is in too deep and just barely treading water. They’re not looking for a handout, maybe just a hand up… One of you reading this might be the one about to drown… if someone reaches out, take hold as if you’re life depends on it, because it does… Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem that leaves the ones outside “the wall” trying to pick up the pieces and make sense of it all.
Back in the 80's we would go to the Midnight Movies on the weekend and see this movie..... I've seen The Wall well over 100 times in theaters....We would get sooooo baked 😎😁
That's funny was doing the same back in 84 in highschool my buddys and I took a brother to the show and we gave him a sugar cube of Syd and it was more fun watching him as he never tripped before Rodney the vice lord
When The Tigers Broke Free was not on The Final Cut. Not originally. It was actually written for The Wall, but was rejected by the band. It didn't officially appear on The Final Cut until the 2006 CD release.
This is the music video, if you will, for Pink Floyd's The Wall album. For the tour, a lot of the movie props were used. Puppets and props made that show one of the most sought out tickets. Bob Geldolf, lead singer for the Boomtown Rats plays Pink in this movie. If you can ever find it playing at a theater. GO
I now recommend you to see The Wall concert, live in Berlin in 1990. Roger Waters and a host of stars. I was in the audience at the time and it was incredible.
Trivia: They were students in Cambridge... It happens that Isaac Newton was in Cambridge and did "The Cambridge Experiment", which is when he separated white light in colors, AND recomposed white light from colors... This experiment is illustrated on... The Dark Side Of The Moon cover...
I bought the vinyl the week it came out as a teenager and proceeded to wear out the record AND the needle! Watching you react to this made me feel like I did way back then. The movie really was great for you to review. I think that was a good order. Studio album then movie. You appreciated the music and then appreciated the meaning! Now that your well on your way to slam dunking Pink Floyd…where next? STEELY DAN( Look up the name origin) might be a good place. Huge catalog, gorgeous rock jazz fusion thing going on. BEATLES will probably get blocked but ROLLING STONES would be great. “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” would be a good start. Have fun!
The mask is a reference to an unthinking brick of a person being schooled to have no creativity or thought. Mother then builds up a wall that leaves Pink In a messed up to the point that he can't trust any relationship (building walls) leaving Pink to make destructive decisions not being able to feel anything (numb) to the point that he physiologically builds the wall too high.
His Dad dying was a brick in the wall. The abusive teacher, the over protective mother, the infidelity of his wife, all just bricks in the wall. The wall is an emotional barrier between him and society. The first song in the bunkers was WHEN THE TIGERS BROKE FREE, was not on the album. When a reference was made about the tube, back in the day, a Television was called a Boob Tube. Great movie, better reaction.
As an ex depressive I used to use this movie to allow myself to feel. I now know the actual history of the sentiment but when I discovered it back in 1900 and tickety boo , It was the first ever art to speak to me. I still love it, so profound. It's like Ren the movie😊
@ same, I just woke up from a 13 hour sleep..dreamland and drugland are the only two things that make me feel content. Hopefully you figured yourself out and got out of the hole of depression
@Im_lil_kennedy not only did I figure out my hole I recently removed my head from my hole. I went in a 'heroes journey' using psybocillin and I'm happy to say it worked for me. Have a look at the research (not the typical stoner stuff) it's a fascinating area and it might even help you.
The Guy who plays Pink in this movie ( The kid Grown up) is Bob Geldoff. Lead singer of The Boomtown Rats and British Legend ( check out their song I don’t like Mondays)
@@StephenAllison-gl2ky Yes, it's a psychological wall and it's deep as it is tall. It protects us from overstimulation from our environment. Without it we could easily lose our minds in the abyss of traumatic experiences and the overwhelming amount of largely useless information we could be perceiving which have no particular purpose in our biological survival. Why can we see rainbows but not gamma rays. Why is our sense of smell limited to identifying that which keeps us alive and eliminating that which is a threat to our biological survival? Think not too hard because our brain and central nervous system eliminate more sensory data than it absorbs. We can't handle all of it because we are too busy surviving.
@47:44 he brought her into his room because she came onto him and hes just a shell of what he once was, trying to live the dream and fill the holes in his childhood and life. He went right to the TV to watch a show about war because it made him think of his dad, the one he never got to meet or have any praise from.
See how it went for pink & the fatherless English rock musicians after WW2? The drug culture & solving every struggle with violence. He just secluded himself from his family and friends. That last song is teaching us to be open with loved ones. His mom was kind of controlling. Wife a dirty woman from the 60s. So he went crazy as she’s been unfaithful as he’s been on a USA tour. Yet, life’s not easy for anyone trying to get through his wall. You got most of this artist’s message. All of us Floyd fans were surprised too when the movie came out. So don’t be ashamed. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for your reaction! You asked what the masks on faces mean. They signify the loss of people's individuality and subjugation. There are many meanings hidden in this film.
around minute 35 when she states she's the one from the registry office, it meas she's the wife, they where clearly falling apart by then and that was her attempt of reconciliation with a drug addict.
Nice to see this movie again. I saw it on the local cinema before it was any other way since there was no Internet and the VHS version of movies never got released until the cinemas was done with it. I still have the VHS tape but no player.
When The Tigers Broke Free is split into two verses in this. The first is here 03:09 with the soldier in the bunker and the second verse is when he dresses in his father’s uniform. The full song is on the remastered album “The Final Cut” with other songs Roger wanted to include here and The Wall album but didn’t make… wait for it… the Final Cut
Hey man you got to check out Pink Floyd pulse live concert it's by far the best concert I've ever seen you've probably heard most of the songs already but Pink Floyd does live better than anybody it's incredible watch the whole thing
If you can find one of the old concerts they did (before Roger Waters left the band) where they performed this, that's also well worth a watch! Edit: Floyd was always ahead of the curve. The album, the movie, and the concert was a combined multi-media experience, before the term even existed.
So glad i got to enjoy your reaction to this. Truly each sees what they need to in the wall. Each finds a truth some cant handle, or understand. But like you said. There must have been a door. How did i get here? How do i get out?
Your first album reaction was fine. It takes everyone a couple listens to fully understand it, and the movie to bring it visually to life even more. Glad you listened to the album first!
Think of the first 15 minutes as an insertion into the mind of the main character. Setting up the movie. His father dying in the war, him becoming a Rockstar, then his assent into madness.
Adult Pink is played by Bob Geldof. He was the lead singer for the rock band The Boomtown Rats. He was also the founder of the Super Group Band Aid in the 1980s, who donated all proceeds from their music to charity and he also organized the Live Aid concert to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia.
@Kezzyboii ...The words Pink (Bob Geldoff) was muttering to himself, whilst anoiting his forehead with toilet water, are from a track on the Roger Waters album, 'The Pros & Cons of Hitchhiking'. Another good listen. I watched this film/movie on release in the UK. I was blown away, the tab I dropped may have contributed. Watching you get a hit from Floyd makes me smile man. Thank you
Tube was a nickname for TVs in the olden days based on the tubes inside them that made them work, TVs were said to dumb people down and were referred to as "Boob Tubes".
This song “When the Tigers Broke Free” isn’t on the Wall album but it’s on the follow on album The Final Cut, which is basically a continuation of the The Wall
Actually it wasn't on that either. Or at least not in the original pressings. It was added in later on some further digital distributions for some reason. But originally it only existed as a single to accompany the movie.
I've watched a few of your vids bro and enjoyed them but this earned you a subscription! I can honestly see that you love Pink Floyd and get right behind the message they are trying to portray. Keep up the great work and see you again soon! Much love from Australia!
The woman vacuuming at the beginning always reminds me of how someone really was vacuuming outside the studio when the title track for Wish You Were Here was being recorded. They left the sound of the vacuum in the version they released.
1:28:00 the lyrics Pink mumbles here feature on Roger Waters' first solo album 'The Pros and Cons of Hitch-hiking' in the song 'The Moment of Clarity', which was (as other parts of that album and Pink Floyd's last album with RW 'The Final Cut') a leftover from the Wall. (Songs that didn't make the final cut of the The Wall album.) Both albums are very much worth a listen.
Hey Man, I really enjoy watching you diving very deep to the Pink Floyd rabbit hole. Next one for you is their 5th album, but the first that put their music into the higher level of art: Atom Heart Mother, with the title track over 20 minutes long that you can't prepare for :D
Although the band members came from different cities in England, London is considered the heartland of Pink Floyd because it's where the band's iconic albums and tunes were created. Former member Syd Barrett was from Cambridge, as is David Gilmour. Roger Waters is from Great Bookham, Richard "Rick" Wright from London, and Nick Mason is from Birmingham.
Bob Geldoff was so good in this especially since he didn’t have any normal dialogue. All expression acting. He’s the lead singer of The Boomtown Rats. They have some really good songs. Specifically Diamond Smiles and Someone’s Looking At You. Their biggest hit was I Don’t Lije Mondays about an early school shooting. Pink’s decent into madness didn’t stem from his dad dying. It was the beginning of the first brick in the wall he built around himself. I’m curious if you’re gonna react to The Final Cut album. It’s the last Floyd album with Roger although it’s pretty much considered a Roger solo effort. It’s pretty much disliked and people would say forget it but it actually has some good stuff on it. It deals with a lot of the same concepts as The Wall. War, death, isolation and so on. Your comment about the kids cleaning the streets. After the war England was so devastated that everyone had to chip in to get the country going again.
Actually, it was a song written for The Wall. It was rejected by the band as being too personal. The next step was release as a single. Bring The Boys Back Home was the B-Side. This was released just prior to the movie. A year later, The Final Cut came out without this song. It was finally included officially for The Final Cut 11 years later for the CD release.
the way the story skips back and forth from past to present can be confusing on first watch. this is definitely worth watching again on your own. this was the film debut for bob geldolf (pink), an irish singer who was in the band the boomtown rats (biggest hit is "i don't like mondays"). he went on to organize the live aid concert in 1985, and is now sir bob geldof after being knighted by the queen of england. thanks for uploading your whole first watch of this movie. before you close the book on the wall you should see a live concert performance of it. in 1989 roger waters did an all star performance of the wall in germany not long after the fall of the berlin wall (which was 35 years ago last week). i recommend watching the wall live in berlin. it's a very unique concert.
I stole my dad`s DVD once as a kid and watched this, left me both in awe and completely traumatized at the same time lmao 😂 the animations are so dope, especially for it`s time. I once read somewhere that almost each and every frame took hours to create to those animations at the time. Also, the Pink character is based on Roger Waters upbringing but also partly of the life of Syd Barret (the first frontman and creator of the band`s genesis) when his mind went to a dark and distant place. If you know the story of Syd Barret then some of these scenes of Pink makes more sense but also makes it 10 times deep and darker. Especially the scenes where Pink is sitting in that chair with his cigarette burnt down to the filter. That`s a real story that happened when Roger Waters walked into Syd`s hotelroom while on tour in LA. I`d suggest looking into his story and fate. He left the band in 1967 and closed himself off to society completely after making a couple solo albums and later died at age 60 in his Cambridge home in 2006. There`s a bunch of conspiracies and speculations around what really happened to him, but there`s nothing we know for sure, except for the fact that Syd indeed abused a bunch of LSD and other drugs before his deterioration took place in his mind.
My admiration for your courage and your passion. You went deep into the rabbit hole „Pink Floyd“. And that at a very high pace. There were many things that touched or impressed you. Give yourself a break. You are only at the beginning of the journey.

Dude ,you did Pink Floyd the wall the right way ,no short cuts or skipping the songs. MUCH RESPECT to you,way to go man.
I wasn't sure if I would ever watch The Wall again but Dude makes it feel new again.
Why on earth would anyone ever ‘skip’ a pink Floyd song? Where are these people ? Get em up against the wall 🔨
The poem the teacher reads in the classroom 25 minutes in, is part of the lyrics to the song Money on Dark Side Of The Moon
@crucialfyah It's pretty funny that he didn't bat an eye to those lines. Could it be that he was too stoned to remember or that he just really doesn't pay attention? One thing I'm pretty sure of is that he just doesn't get The Floyd. He asked the question of Dark Side, how many of us were dancing to this music. 🙄
The wall is a metaphor for this troubled guy who isolated himself from everyone due to trauma. Every song is another brick and it represents himself blocking himself from people. You can see the symbolisms of the teacher animation turning to the fascist hammer, implying the teachers methods were that of an authoritarian. There’s hundreds of symbolisms, and he’s comfortably numb is him being injected with drugs and later goes crazy believing himself to be a fascist dictator. He feels so guilty after this that he puts himself up in a metaphorical trial, when the wall falls pink is left to the open world with the rubble. Roger waters wrote a lot of it based on his own life with snippets of Syd Barret. It is a big epic album and nothing I’ve seen has beaten it story wise
Best synopsis I've read.
During the trial he puts himself on, he judges that he must tear down the wall to restore his sanity. On the album, if you listen very closely after the outro to the album, the last thing on the album is a spoken line. The line is, "Isn't this where?" Then, when you flip the album over and restart it, the very first lines at the beginning of the album are "we came in." This is to show how, in life, after we build our walls and tear them down, we just start building a new wall, and the cycle continues.
And the whole thing begins again.
Pink’s early trauma continues through his life. Mr Kezzy doesn’t seem to have empathy or sympathy. Like man up bro, go cap your wife and her lover. Not everyone thinks of murder when a relationship sours.
Maybe watch The Blitz released 2021. In addition to his father’s death, there were bombing raids, food rationing, his inconsiderate mother, threats of German invasion…
@@conorhayes8818 The only album that comes close, story-wise, is Operation Mindcrime by Queensryche.
To me, as a depression sufferer, I see this whole album as a man who has always pushed his emotions away. He has built a mental "wall" around himself . . . it works to a degree, but inevitably fails and he is left exposed and can't cope with all those emotions he has put behind his wall.
Its not just his dad. It's the school system failing him and a teacher that belittled him and beat him, his wife cheating on him, the excessesfamd pressures of being a famous musician, drug use, psychosis, etc. Each of these are just added bricks to the wall of his separation from reality.
It is a personality disorder in Pink. One aspect of this disorder is the assignment of blame to others. Hence the desire for isolation. Only when Pink is all alone with himself can he realize that it were not „the others“. Until then, guilt is handed over to others. That is why it continues, because this disturbance still exists. Even after isolation. This is probably an unwanted confession from Roger Waters, because maybe his personality was similar in her disorder to that of Pink.
@mobilerepro I'm no therapist and I know the backstory on Water's grown distain for the audience etc.
But as a stand-alone movie, I see it as more nurture than nature. Though I'm sure there is an underlining mental condition. Pink is sitting in the hotel room isolated from the beginning of the movie recalling all the traumatic events in his life and how each one was another brick to that isolating moment. Only when Numb ends is he "reborn" into the blaming of others and the violence that comes with it.
Once the damage is done, he then goes into the mental trial and finds guilt within himself. And I always presumed he killed himself and left the next generation cleaning up his mess instead of facing the consequences. But that's just my take.
That’s astute analysis. I differ slightly from your assessment of him and after careful consideration, my professional opinion is he’s batshit crazy….. he even tells you that on the trial. I’ll meet you in the middle then and can we agree he’s a couple of butties short of a picnic 🤪
@@antimatter2380on the album it actually says before the first track ‘ we came in’ and after the last track it says ‘ is this where ‘ I think .. so if you play it on a loop it’s says is this where we came in.
@antimatter2380 yeah, there was actually one point in the movie that was tying all of that together through rapid flashback scenes and you had your eyes closed during it.
Much respect you , my great grandfather was killed serving to protect the British from the Germans and died on Christmas Day of 44 and it changed many of lives for my family
I've been looking for the film reaction on TH-cam for weeks. This is the very first reaction to this movie that does it credit. The only other The Wall Movie reactions either have terrible sound, or the people reviewing it have no clue what's going on, don't use captions and completely misunderstood what's happening. Thanks man! This is how you do Pink Floyd!
....Are you kidding me? He was STILL entirely clueless and stupid through the entire movie. He literally understood NOTHING in this film. How was that a good reaction?
The Wall is a film about building emotional walls to shield oneself from the world, hiding one’s true self. The masks on the children symbolize society's push for conformity, making everyone behave the same way and follow society's rules. Pink, the protagonist, struggles with the trauma of his father's senseless death during the war, hinted at with the metaphor, "Daddy's flown across the ocean," meaning his father is gone. Pink’s poems, written in his notebook, include lyrics from The Dark Side of the Moon. The film was made after the release of The Wall album, and as a devoted Pink Floyd fan, I didn’t fully grasp the album's depth until I saw the film. One of the most striking lines for me is: "And my eye still goes damp to find his majesty SIGNED it with his own rubber STAMP,” referring to a cold, official letter King George sent to Pink’s mother about his father's death.
Pinky evolves into a rock star who is burned out by the repetition and emptiness of fame, only experiencing variety in the change of city from one gig to the next. This cycle leads him to experiment with increasingly heavy drugs.
After "Comfortably Numb," Pink appears at a show as a fascist leader, embodying a tyrant who combines Nazi and Ku Klux Klan elements. The hammers are a metaphor for fascist symbols like the swastika, as Pink leads followers in hateful ideologies against marginalized groups.
1:07:58 “Vera” is about real person Vera Lynn (born March 20, 1917, East Ham, Essex [now in Greater London], England-died June 18, 2020, Ditchling, East Sussex) Dame Vera Margaret Lynn was an English singer whose sentimental material and wholesome stage persona endeared her to the public during World War II. Broadcasts of her songs of love and longing were particularly resonant with members of the military fighting abroad, which led to her nickname, “the Forces’ Sweetheart.” She remained popular into the 21st century.
My mom used to sing Some Sunny Day while working around the house. Vera was a treasure.
The concert at the end of Dutch liberation day (5th of May) performed annually on the canals of Amsterdam always ends with Some Sunny Day playing while king Willem-Alexander (and before him his mother queen Beatrix) leaves the concert on a boat.
Floyd gets into your soul. Been listening since 1970. When I need to destress, go into a dark room and plug Floyd in. My wife sometimes tells me to plug in knowing I come back completely calm. Therapeutic is the only word that comes to mind. The more you listen, the more you need. Dave south Africa.
My father passed when I was ten. I saw this at age 12….
Pink Floyd has been my favorite band since.
R.i.P to your Pops❤
The album will make more sense after watching this.
Couldn't agree more
I think the masks worn by the kids represents how the system tries to erase kids' individuality ... instead of all being unique beings, they all just look the same. Also, it was shown by how they were turning them in to generic ground beef, to wipe out their unique individuality.
The factory setting was also symbolic of how the education system was primarily designed to produce the next generation of factory workers
The mask of conformity!
A man true to his word, not even a day later. Heres hoping this video doesnt get DMCA'd by MGM lol
I've known Pink Floyd before I was born, my dad, when we lived in Anchorage Alaska in 1973-74, would come home, get the fireplace going, turn on a tanning lamp, throw on his headphones and smoke a Jay. Seriously. I still remember that. Can't remember a day in my life without Floyd..
@@noneofurbizness5838 explain the tanning lamp thing for me…. I’m assuming your dad was just in a pair of Speedo’s to get the full benefit of his after work tanning session after getting the fire going which makes me think you was sitting there freezing until he got home and starting chonging jazz cigarettes in front of his kid??? And put headphones so you couldn’t even hear Floyd ? None of this makes sense to me 🤷♀️
I’m guessing by your username that it’s none of my business
@LunarJetwoman more like the coaches shorts, had the tiny shades. 3 feet from the fireplace and sunlamp. When he had to change record side he'd turn his chair.
@ living the dream
So many reaction videos of the songs from The Wall with no context or even an awareness that this movie exists! Kudos for doing this! Loved watching your eyes being opened!
I couldn't believe it, on the way home from Thanksgiving in Guantanamo while serving on the USS MT. Whitney, the Captain allowed this movie to show on ships tv. 1985.
Pink is played by Bob Geldof who went on to organise Live Aid (1985) and Live 8 (2005). For Live 8, he got PF reunited with Roger Waters to close the gig.
I saw this in the theater opening day, and I dropped acid…it was quite the experience.
Same lol
Me two dose e dose still have my tshirt that they were handing out at the movie theater promotion one
@ that’s cool
Best way to watch this! Lol 🤣
It makes more sense that way
This album is the true definition of a masterpiece from beginning to end.
My absolute favourite Pink Floyd album.
Awesome reaction! Thanks for showing! Pink Floyd will now and forever be in your soul!
Pink Floyd is deeper than the Mariana trench, higher than any satellites orbiting earth, cooler than an iceberg in a river of liquid nitrogen, hotter than a solar flare of lava spouted from the sun, smoother than a quantum stabilized atom mirror, more Zen than 10,000 Buddhist monasteries, larger than what we know as our universe. Their music is an enigma that is beyond what we are capable of comprehending.
The Wall is a metaphor for a psychological wall inside his head. Every experience, mostly negative is a brick that is a part of his psychological wall. This is a hard movie to follow since it doesn't follow the traditional movie format. It's almost like pulp fiction in that scenes are not in order. You have to watch it multiple times.
Roger never knew his father, that soldier who was killed was playing Rogers father. A small part of the film is partially autobiographical i believe about not knowing his dad as roger was a war baby.
"Is this allowed on YT? That's alot a blurring I gotta do, bra" - LMAO, great reaction!
You tube doesn’t care if the F word used so why not nudity?
Don't know if you noticed, but when the teacher was reading his poetry to the class, they were lyrics from the song Money, from the Dark Side Of The Moon album. Major props for doing this while movie without skips or cuts. That earned a sub from me. Great job.
Notice how the teacher is unhappy and henpecked by his wife at home and takes out his own inadequacies and frustration out on Pink and the children he teaches overall
THANK YOU for reacting to this movie!! SO MANY DON'T - and, I still haven't figured out WHY (except that it might get taken down).... HUGS!!
It hits waaaaay more different when you watch the actual video rather than just listening to the audio,I found that out a few decades ago,loved your reaction though bro,keep the content coming❤
in a nutshell: "The Wall" is about the Englishman Roger Waters losing his Dad in the war against the Germans in WWII and then struggling to handle the stresses of being a world famous rock star.
That's like 25% of it, as his own story can be used to supplement the story being told in The Wall, but Roger Waters has stated that it isn't 'about' him. It's more of a commentary about how one can become detached and self-isolate (building a wall) to the point of blaming others for your own internal insecurities... which can lead one to fascism as they attempt to connect to 'something' - and that 'something' is a unified hatred and fear.
As the trial concludes, it ultimately shows that it is self-defeating though as even as you battle and 'win' against your 'enemies', you are still left with the wall. You can only get rid of the wall by addressing it. By actually looking for a possible door that others may be trying to get you to find, rather than trying to climb the whole thing all at once by yourself (an impossible task).
Roger's said that only the "father" and "doctor" are relevant to himself.
@@vincestapels2022 Exactly. I only said 25% because those 2 were probably the launching point/foundation, but that's about it.
@@Nein1no Like I said.....In a nutshell, it's Roger Waters losing his father in the war and struggling with rock stardom.
@@DrVonChilla The rock stardom struggles are mostly about Syd...the cigarrete part is all Syd according to Roger
They wrote the album, the film , and the stage production, which I was lucky enough to see on my 16th birthday, at the same time. It was always intended to be a spectacle.
And it was.....
You need to read about the London blitz in WWII, in order for Goodbye Blue Sky to make sense
Dude this was an awesome reaction. Not only did you show the whole movie, not all chopped up. You didn't go all crazy stopping fifty sixty times you did it credit. Well done sir I'll subscribe.
I love your commitment!
To me, this is what happens when you build emotional walls and isolate yourself. Deep down inside we all need each other.
I suggest either
Uma Guma
Atom Heart Mother
The Division Bell
Not necessarily in that order
If you want to find out what early Floyd was like listen to Piper at the Gates of Dawn. 1967
I first heard Piper at the Gates of Dawn in 68 on the radio. Thing is my brother's and I were out in the field loading hay.
We stopped the truck and listened.
I have been a fan atic ever since. Lol
🚜🤠🐂
Thank you for doing this.🤗😊👍
The movie animations, live action sequences, and escapist mental gymnastics that the movie offers above and beyond the music really sets the context and provides a richer experience.
It was pretty fun watching you sort of re-discover the album. I had a similar experience so don't feel bad not picking things up the first time! I probably listened to it dozens of times before seeing the movie and it put a whole new perspective on things. Made me appreciate and love the album even more.
The character of Pink is an amalgam of Roger Waters' and original band member Syd Barrett's life. Syd had a psychotic break with reality and Roger became very embittered and isolated from fans and those around him. The wall is the psychological barrier that keeps the character of Pink isolated from any real relationships. It begins with the loss of his father, then progresses through an over-protective mother, being sent away to boarding school, and eventually the dissolution of his marriage. There are also drugs and addiction issues thrown into the mix. He feels abused by authority growing up, and in the end, he becomes an abuser of authority over the fans who long to hear his music. Crowds rush to hear him, hanging on his every words, and as he breaks with reality, the only way he knows how to lash out is to become the very thing that abused him in his youth. Much of what you witness is not reality, but the psychoses he endures. The child in him seeks to understand what is happening, but what he becomes is no longer recognizable even to himself. In the end, the biggest fear any person faces is having his deepest, darkest secrets exposed to the world around him. The very wall that isolates him also protects him from the pain of his past. Now, in the end, it is ripped away. And it is always the next generation that is left to clean up the mess of the former generation's pain, which is where the film ends.
Very well put.
1:39:30 Have you never watched a movie? Yes, the credits of a movie list every single person involved in the movie. From the lead actors and director to the drivers, coffee lady and accountants.
You have to see "Comfortably Numb" live at the Pulse concerts. David really shows off.
That was most enjoyable. Good job. The revelation on your face----ah it takes me back.
I went to the show when it first came out and listened to the album many times before hand, and it probably took me and other people I know well over 25 years or so to fully understand the meaning of this masterpiece.And there's some things I catch that I didn't realize still to this day. I noticed something just watching this that I never caught before. Now after this watch the Wall live in Berlin year 1991 Roger Waters does this show and there's also one that he performed in 2017
I remember seeing this in the movies when I was in my late teens.
The scene where be breaks down and trashes the suite, hanging out the window with his hand on the glass shard, bleeding, cursing out the world...the whole theater was sitting there in stunned silence ...wow, so intense.
So many disturbing themes and scenes in this movie.
And these messages.....look around us today.
“All in all, or in two’s the ones who truly love you, walk up and down outside your wall. Some hand in hand, some gathered together in bands, the bleeding hearts and the artists make their stand. And when they’ve given you their all, some stagger and fall afterall, it’s not easy banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.” - Pink Floyd The Wall end credits song.
We have all at one point or another watched on the sidelines as some of our loved ones struggled with their demons. Some “survive” others break through and thrive but unfortunately the majority just die.
Reach out when and where the spirit leads you.
Sometimes just hearing your voice can make a world of difference to someone who is suffering in silence. Many times hiding behind a smiling face, is a friend or loved one who is in too deep and just barely treading water. They’re not looking for a handout, maybe just a hand up…
One of you reading this might be the one about to drown… if someone reaches out, take hold as if you’re life depends on it, because it does…
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem that leaves the ones outside “the wall” trying to pick up the pieces and make sense of it all.
Back in the 80's we would go to the Midnight Movies on the weekend and see this movie..... I've seen The Wall well over 100 times in theaters....We would get sooooo baked 😎😁
The main Character in The Movie is played by Bob Geldof, who was behind Live Aid, in 1985.
Ronnie SCOTLAND
I’m just watching you try to get your bearings watching the movie. I can’t wait to see your face when the animation comes on. 😂 you’re adorable ❤
That's funny was doing the same back in 84 in highschool my buddys and I took a brother to the show and we gave him a sugar cube of Syd and it was more fun watching him as he never tripped before Rodney the vice lord
There were a couple of songs that weren't on the Wall album. The war one at the beginning was from the album Final Cut.
When The Tigers Broke Free was not on The Final Cut. Not originally. It was actually written for The Wall, but was rejected by the band. It didn't officially appear on The Final Cut until the 2006 CD release.
This is the music video, if you will, for Pink Floyd's The Wall album. For the tour, a lot of the movie props were used. Puppets and props made that show one of the most sought out tickets. Bob Geldolf, lead singer for the Boomtown Rats plays Pink in this movie. If you can ever find it playing at a theater. GO
I now recommend you to see The Wall concert, live in Berlin in 1990. Roger Waters and a host of stars.
I was in the audience at the time and it was incredible.
Brings back memories from school when buddies and I would drop doses and watch this movie (and The Little Mermaid LOL) on a weekly basis.
Trivia: They were students in Cambridge... It happens that Isaac Newton was in Cambridge and did "The Cambridge Experiment", which is when he separated white light in colors, AND recomposed white light from colors... This experiment is illustrated on... The Dark Side Of The Moon cover...
I bought the vinyl the week it came out as a teenager and proceeded to wear out the record AND the needle!
Watching you react to this made me feel like I did way back then. The movie really was great for you to review. I think that was a good order. Studio album then movie. You appreciated the music and then appreciated the meaning!
Now that your well on your way to slam dunking Pink Floyd…where next?
STEELY DAN( Look up the name origin) might be a good place. Huge catalog, gorgeous rock jazz fusion thing going on.
BEATLES will probably get blocked but ROLLING STONES would be great. “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” would be a good start.
Have fun!
The mask is a reference to an unthinking brick of a person being schooled to have no creativity or thought.
Mother then builds up a wall that leaves Pink In a messed up to the point that he can't trust any relationship (building walls) leaving Pink to make destructive decisions not being able to feel anything (numb) to the point that he physiologically builds the wall too high.
His Dad dying was a brick in the wall. The abusive teacher, the over protective mother, the infidelity of his wife, all just bricks in the wall.
The wall is an emotional barrier between him and society.
The first song in the bunkers was WHEN THE TIGERS BROKE FREE, was not on the album.
When a reference was made about the tube, back in the day, a Television was called a Boob Tube.
Great movie, better reaction.
Thank you❤❤❤ this movie makes me cry every time
As an ex depressive I used to use this movie to allow myself to feel. I now know the actual history of the sentiment but when I discovered it back in 1900 and tickety boo , It was the first ever art to speak to me. I still love it, so profound. It's like Ren the movie😊
@ same, I just woke up from a 13 hour sleep..dreamland and drugland are the only two things that make me feel content. Hopefully you figured yourself out and got out of the hole of depression
@Im_lil_kennedy not only did I figure out my hole I recently removed my head from my hole. I went in a 'heroes journey' using psybocillin and I'm happy to say it worked for me. Have a look at the research (not the typical stoner stuff) it's a fascinating area and it might even help you.
The Guy who plays Pink in this movie ( The kid Grown up) is Bob Geldoff. Lead singer of The Boomtown Rats and British Legend ( check out their song I don’t like Mondays)
British legend? The Boomtown Rats were an Irish rock band from Dublin.
Not to mention Live Aid only a few short years later.
We all build our own wall around us. To protect us.
@@StephenAllison-gl2ky Yes, it's a psychological wall and it's deep as it is tall. It protects us from overstimulation from our environment. Without it we could easily lose our minds in the abyss of traumatic experiences and the overwhelming amount of largely useless information we could be perceiving which have no particular purpose in our biological survival. Why can we see rainbows but not gamma rays. Why is our sense of smell limited to identifying that which keeps us alive and eliminating that which is a threat to our biological survival? Think not too hard because our brain and central nervous system eliminate more sensory data than it absorbs. We can't handle all of it because we are too busy surviving.
@47:44 he brought her into his room because she came onto him and hes just a shell of what he once was, trying to live the dream and fill the holes in his childhood and life. He went right to the TV to watch a show about war because it made him think of his dad, the one he never got to meet or have any praise from.
See how it went for pink & the fatherless English rock musicians after WW2? The drug culture & solving every struggle with violence. He just secluded himself from his family and friends. That last song is teaching us to be open with loved ones. His mom was kind of controlling. Wife a dirty woman from the 60s. So he went crazy as she’s been unfaithful as he’s been on a USA tour. Yet, life’s not easy for anyone trying to get through his wall. You got most of this artist’s message. All of us Floyd fans were surprised too when the movie came out. So don’t be ashamed. Thanks for posting.
Yes, Pink Floyd is a 100% English band.
1:37:00 The glass bottle with yellow liquid (petroleum/gasoline) is a Molotov cocktail, aka homemade fire bomb. The cloth was the wick.
Yo! Yes! You are the man! LFG
🤛😎👍🤟
🔥🌳🌬️💨
Thanks for your reaction!
You asked what the masks on faces mean. They signify the loss of people's individuality and subjugation. There are many meanings hidden in this film.
around minute 35 when she states she's the one from the registry office, it meas she's the wife, they where clearly falling apart by then and that was her attempt of reconciliation with a drug addict.
I assumed the registry office was where they got married, like the courthouse in the US.
Nice to see this movie again.
I saw it on the local cinema before it was any other way since there was no Internet and the VHS version of movies never got released until the cinemas was done with it.
I still have the VHS tape but no player.
When The Tigers Broke Free is split into two verses in this. The first is here 03:09 with the soldier in the bunker and the second verse is when he dresses in his father’s uniform. The full song is on the remastered album “The Final Cut” with other songs Roger wanted to include here and The Wall album but didn’t make… wait for it… the Final Cut
Pink Floyd were from Cambridge(UK). They moved to London as it was the place where you have to go if you wanted to be a musician
Hey man you got to check out Pink Floyd pulse live concert it's by far the best concert I've ever seen you've probably heard most of the songs already but Pink Floyd does live better than anybody it's incredible watch the whole thing
If you can find one of the old concerts they did (before Roger Waters left the band) where they performed this, that's also well worth a watch!
Edit: Floyd was always ahead of the curve. The album, the movie, and the concert was a combined multi-media experience, before the term even existed.
So glad i got to enjoy your reaction to this.
Truly each sees what they need to in the wall.
Each finds a truth some cant handle, or understand.
But like you said. There must have been a door. How did i get here? How do i get out?
Your first album reaction was fine. It takes everyone a couple listens to fully understand it, and the movie to bring it visually to life even more. Glad you listened to the album first!
Think of the first 15 minutes as an insertion into the mind of the main character. Setting up the movie. His father dying in the war, him becoming a Rockstar, then his assent into madness.
Part of this is about the original member of Pink Floyd, syd barret who lost his mind and was replaced by David Gilmour.
Adult Pink is played by Bob Geldof. He was the lead singer for the rock band The Boomtown Rats. He was also the founder of the Super Group Band Aid in the 1980s, who donated all proceeds from their music to charity and he also organized the Live Aid concert to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia.
@Kezzyboii ...The words Pink (Bob Geldoff) was muttering to himself, whilst anoiting his forehead with toilet water, are from a track on the Roger Waters album, 'The Pros & Cons of Hitchhiking'. Another good listen. I watched this film/movie on release in the UK. I was blown away, the tab I dropped may have contributed. Watching you get a hit from Floyd makes me smile man. Thank you
Tube was a nickname for TVs in the olden days based on the tubes inside them that made them work, TVs were said to dumb people down and were referred to as "Boob Tubes".
Bib Geldof played pink. Check out his band the Boomtown Rats. The song "i dont like mondays" is absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 (live aid performance is best) cheers
Bob Geldof and Midge Ure (vocalist for Ultravox) organized Live Aid.
This song “When the Tigers Broke Free” isn’t on the Wall album but it’s on the follow on album The Final Cut, which is basically a continuation of the The Wall
Actually it wasn't on that either. Or at least not in the original pressings. It was added in later on some further digital distributions for some reason. But originally it only existed as a single to accompany the movie.
I've watched a few of your vids bro and enjoyed them but this earned you a subscription!
I can honestly see that you love Pink Floyd and get right behind the message they are trying to portray.
Keep up the great work and see you again soon!
Much love from Australia!
Some of the songs on the wall film you will find on the pink Floyd the final cut album
The woman vacuuming at the beginning always reminds me of how someone really was vacuuming outside the studio when the title track for Wish You Were Here was being recorded. They left the sound of the vacuum in the version they released.
1:28:00 the lyrics Pink mumbles here feature on Roger Waters' first solo album 'The Pros and Cons of Hitch-hiking' in the song 'The Moment of Clarity', which was (as other parts of that album and Pink Floyd's last album with RW 'The Final Cut') a leftover from the Wall. (Songs that didn't make the final cut of the The Wall album.)
Both albums are very much worth a listen.
Kezzy I had a job getting my head around this film as well 😊typical roger waters,,keep it coming
Pops..wife..mother..love..loss..hurt. Happens everyday, everywhere
Pink Floyd - "PULSE" "LIVE!!" I promise, you won't regret it!
Hey Man, I really enjoy watching you diving very deep to the Pink Floyd rabbit hole. Next one for you is their 5th album, but the first that put their music into the higher level of art: Atom Heart Mother, with the title track over 20 minutes long that you can't prepare for :D
NOW you know why. Fantastic symbolisms.
"Oh Junior! You buggin!!!!"
lmao ya, that nicely sums up the whole film in one sentence.
Although the band members came from different cities in England, London is considered the heartland of Pink Floyd because it's where the band's iconic albums and tunes were created. Former member Syd Barrett was from Cambridge, as is David Gilmour. Roger Waters is from Great Bookham, Richard "Rick" Wright from London, and Nick Mason is from Birmingham.
First watched this movie when I was, like 12-13 years old, showed my son this movie when he was like 8-9 lol. Great piece of work.
Bob Geldoff was so good in this especially since he didn’t have any normal dialogue. All expression acting. He’s the lead singer of The Boomtown Rats. They have some really good songs. Specifically Diamond Smiles and Someone’s Looking At You. Their biggest hit was I Don’t Lije Mondays about an early school shooting. Pink’s decent into madness didn’t stem from his dad dying. It was the beginning of the first brick in the wall he built around himself. I’m curious if you’re gonna react to The Final Cut album. It’s the last Floyd album with Roger although it’s pretty much considered a Roger solo effort. It’s pretty much disliked and people would say forget it but it actually has some good stuff on it. It deals with a lot of the same concepts as The Wall. War, death, isolation and so on. Your comment about the kids cleaning the streets. After the war England was so devastated that everyone had to chip in to get the country going again.
The first song is the start on "When the tigers broke free" from The Final Cut album;)
Actually, it was a song written for The Wall. It was rejected by the band as being too personal. The next step was release as a single. Bring The Boys Back Home was the B-Side. This was released just prior to the movie. A year later, The Final Cut came out without this song. It was finally included officially for The Final Cut 11 years later for the CD release.
The best way to truly understand the movie is to view it understand the influence of psychedelics. True.
That scene gives me chills every time 43:04
the way the story skips back and forth from past to present can be confusing on first watch. this is definitely worth watching again on your own. this was the film debut for bob geldolf (pink), an irish singer who was in the band the boomtown rats (biggest hit is "i don't like mondays"). he went on to organize the live aid concert in 1985, and is now sir bob geldof after being knighted by the queen of england. thanks for uploading your whole first watch of this movie. before you close the book on the wall you should see a live concert performance of it. in 1989 roger waters did an all star performance of the wall in germany not long after the fall of the berlin wall (which was 35 years ago last week). i recommend watching the wall live in berlin. it's a very unique concert.
I stole my dad`s DVD once as a kid and watched this, left me both in awe and completely traumatized at the same time lmao 😂 the animations are so dope, especially for it`s time. I once read somewhere that almost each and every frame took hours to create to those animations at the time.
Also, the Pink character is based on Roger Waters upbringing but also partly of the life of Syd Barret (the first frontman and creator of the band`s genesis) when his mind went to a dark and distant place. If you know the story of Syd Barret then some of these scenes of Pink makes more sense but also makes it 10 times deep and darker. Especially the scenes where Pink is sitting in that chair with his cigarette burnt down to the filter. That`s a real story that happened when Roger Waters walked into Syd`s hotelroom while on tour in LA. I`d suggest looking into his story and fate. He left the band in 1967 and closed himself off to society completely after making a couple solo albums and later died at age 60 in his Cambridge home in 2006. There`s a bunch of conspiracies and speculations around what really happened to him, but there`s nothing we know for sure, except for the fact that Syd indeed abused a bunch of LSD and other drugs before his deterioration took place in his mind.
If you noticed the poem that the teacher took from him and read to the class was money from The Dark Side of the Moon
My admiration for your courage and your passion. You went deep into the rabbit hole „Pink Floyd“. And that at a very high pace. There were many things that touched or impressed you. Give yourself a break. You are only at the beginning of the journey.
Kezzy -- this music video is another side remix of "The Wall" ---> Alok & Sevenn - The Wall (Official Music Video)
