Whoever says this movie is “just set of random music clips” and “doesn’t make sense” just didn’t get it at all. It is true that it needs a bit thinking but the storyline is actually why I felt so much for the album. The story is so intense I still have goosebumps after watching it for at least 30 times.
It is a story Roger Waters know very well. Rock star who start thinking about his whole existence who is filled up with his own tragedy and our consumerism a fanatism.
It’s about building walls from young age (first wall - father dies at war, war as a tragedy of humankind, fighting for nothing; overprotective mother - another wall; school etc.) he’s building walls and it makes him lonely and miserable until he becomes a new person.
There are so many social, psychological and political problems discussed in this movie which are completed with absolutely perfect animatons by great artist - Gerards Scarf.
It is one of the best movies ever (in my opinion) and not only because of Pink Floyd. I think it’s not much Ponk Floyd as it is Roger Waters and you really don’t need to be a fan to understand this movie or to let this movie to touch your soul. If you’ll watch it closely it will catch your heart and twist it. And hopefully it will leave something in your mind
