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.

The perfect music video for the perfect album. I am readily willing to admit that I’m biased towards this movie because The Wall has been my favorite album since my freshman year of college. That being said, this movie acts as a visual interpretation of the concept album. The visuals are great, especially the animation which is top-notch and absolutely iconic. I won’t go into the plot because there are already many interpretations of this album online. I can understand how someone who hates Pink Floyd would dislike this movie given how driven it is by the music (although I can’t see why someone would hate the band in the first place). If you are a fan of classic rock in general though, or if you’re going through a rough patch in life and feeling isolated from the world, this is a must watch. 

Title card rating: 9/10, what do you expect from a band with objectively the best album cover art of all time?

"Is there anybody out there?"
Para no saber prácticamente nada de la película (más allá de haber escuchado el álbum original), "Pink Floyd: The Wall" me pareció sumamente arriesgada en su planteamiento y ejecución, especialmente para la época en que se estrenó. Al principio me sobreestimuló la cantidad de imágenes aparentemente inconexas que se presentan; sin embargo, a medida que avanzaba la película me fui enganchando poco a poco y, al final, debo decir que me fascinó.

Me pareció brillante la incorporación de animación surrealista; personalmente nunca había visto algo así y creo que fue una manera muy original de contar la historia. Mis créditos para Gerald Scarfe.

¿Y qué puedo decir de la música? Simplemente espectacular. Aunque lamento la ausencia de "Hey You" en la versión final, la inclusión de "When the Tigers Broke Free" le dio mayor coherencia a la película.

No esperaba para nada este resultado; sin embargo, me dejó un gran sabor de boca. Me gustaría que más artistas se atrevieran a hacer largometrajes que conectaran con sus álbumes.

Me encanto la cinematografía y simbolismo, además de la música
