I’ve listened to the album countless times, never had too much interest in it just because I’m not the biggest “musical” type. I assumed it would be a deluded adaptation that would pervert the idea of the original album. I’d seen the animated segments and several other small pieces just having been a fan but never seen it all in order or with context. So after getting really high I was absolutely grasped by the opening sequence and was moved to tears. Then Bob Geldof opens his fucking mouth, really just awful shit. But the thing that makes up for the hammy acting and shite singing, is the masterpiece What Shall We Do Now? Spectacular addition and amazing animation that makes this movie have just so much more memorable. Pretty cool sequences and there’s no real conventional dialogue in the entire thing. For 1982 and all, pretty solid adaptation. I’ve re watched it twice since and it’s growing on me like a fungus. -2 points for not having Hey You. That song would make it.

Meh… so good I feel asleep. Guess I’ll have to rewatch it. So glad I bought the Criterion collection 🙄

This is the movie. Better every time I watch it. One of the best films of the 21st century
