The film is, for better and worse, the fruit of three artists in conflict--Parker indulging himself, and Waters in league with designer Gerald Scarfe, whose brilliant animated sequences suggest that he should have directed and animated this film in its entirety. Fortunately, this clash of talent and ego does not prevent The Wall from being a mesmerizing film. Boomtown Rats frontman Bob Geldof (in his screen debut) is a fine choice to play Waters's alter ego--an alienated, "comfortably numb" rock star whose psychosis manifests itself as an emotional (and symbolically physical) wall between himself and the cold, cruel world. Weaving Waters's autobiographical details into his own jumbled vision, Parker ultimately fails to combine a narrative thread with experimental structure. It's a rich, bizarre, and often astonishing film that will continue to draw a following, but the real source of genius remains the music of Roger Waters. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of Pink Floyd The Wall
Birth of a fan Back in the day, when I was in high school, I absolutely could not stand Pink Floyd with the exception of one song (Wish You Were Here). When tracks came across the radio I just tried not to listen and couldn't understand they hype. <
>Then for reasons I can't recall, my girlfriend (later my wife) and I went to see The Wall when it released at the theater. I sat, mesmerized and staring at the screen. To see the movie is to hear the entire album set from start to finish and the movie put it all in context. The thing I was missing before, I understood now. The music of Pink Floyd is put together in albums and if you don't listen to them that way they are disconnected and just don't make sense. <
>Now I was hooked and started to listen to PF albums instead of individual cuts. I bought the cassette tape (hi-tech back then), wore it out, wore out a backup copy, wore out another tape and years later bought the CD set. Today I'm buying the DVD and can't wait to experience it all again. <
>Bottom line, the movie is dark, it is disturbing, and it is terribly awesome. Pink Floyd played the music of the insane. Maybe it is the insane who still play the music of Pink Floyd. In any case, I can't wait to introduce my 15 year-old son to it. Wonder if his jaw will drop like mine did? <

Awesome! This movie rock!

Imagine this film done by Ridley Scott.
I remember first time I watched this film in movie theatre when it was released to the first theatrical events, I left the room really disappointed. I felt that Floyd had lost one great opportunity of creating a masterpiece of images and music. By that time we all were still under the impact of Pink Floyd's "The Wall" album a real masterpiece and there was a great expectation about the film, but I have to confess, I had an insight that it wasn't to happen and why I affirm this, because one of the worst experiences I have ever had in my life was my decision of watching the worst film of all times, a film called "Fame" or "Infamous if you like", and guess who was the director of this ridiculous film, yes Alan Parker, so I couldn't expect nothing better from this guy really. Can you all remember good films this guy has been done? Well, no, so do I! It was really a disaster this choice, but how we cannot change what happened, I only can give three stars for the few really good moments this film has, like that of "Goodbye blue sky" and I'm sure this great moments is much more because of the music than the image itself, no, one thing we have to say and recognize "the work of Gerald Scarfe is a real work of genius" he was with Pink Floyd since the creation of the fantastic "The Wall" artwork. Can you all imagine if this film had been done by Ridley Scott with the help of Gerald Scarfe, wow, simply no comments... It would have been a truly masterpiece!
