best rock musical ever!

Weirdest and best movie I have honestly ever seen I love floyd and this album and movie is what got me really into them I <33 PINK FLOYD!!!!!!!!!

Torning down the wall easy than building it !

The music makes the movie more than anything else. The imagery is often very effective, but it doesn't really amount to much more than images accompanying great music.

WOW that was an acid trip

very stylish, but actually, I just prefer the music by itself.

(read more) It is a study of grief, suggesting that social ills are rooted in our personal and collective losses. A fatherless child in a playground grabs the hand of a father with his child, and is shooed away, alienated by his need. The child is then humiliated by his teacher, who himself suffers humiliation in a loveless marriage and this repeats itself later as the child grows up, humiliated in a loveless marriage, inflicting abuse on his admirers as a fascist populist and embodying the very values his own father died fighting.
All the while, a pitiless barrage of imagery fills the screen, flowers engaging in intercourse and transforming into castrating vaginal fangs, children lined up in a school/factory and conveyed into a meatgrinder, their faces distorted, featureless, burnt latex homunculi, bomber aircraft transforming into crucifixes and filling the sky. A bit over the top? Not while "Goodbye Blue Sky" is playing.
It is laced with Christian imagery, almost unconsciously. The final scene shows a child emptying a molotov cocktail in the midst of social anarchy, suggesting that breaking through the wall is a futile return to naive self-destruction. Hence the problem of whether we can bear the weight of our existence. Perhaps the Christian imagery suggests a transcendence.
