What do you think? March 12, 2006
Pink Floyd is one of the greatest rock bands of all times. "The wall" is an awesome rock opera that tells the story of a guy named Pink Floyd who goes through a ton of difficult things in life and gets to the point where he builds a "wall" around himself, seperating himslef from the world. The music is awesome however the movie sucks.
This is just as bad as the "Tommy" movie by The Who. It's just pointless. The album had a nice story but this movie throws it all away and shows many scenes over and over like the "Comfortably Numb" scene. How many times can you watch a young Pink run down a hill with a sunset in the background? It's ridiculous. However, the "Trial" scene is very cool. That's the only part I liked about the movie. Also, take note there are some parts of the music from the album that have been deleted from the movie. I don't know why. For all you starter fans, I know this DVD is ridiculously tempting but you will be sorry after you watch it. The "new" songs are slow and dull and you can't even hear the dialouge. It's as if the editors just turned their voices down so you can hear the music better. "Another brick in the wall pt.2" is one of Pink Floyd's greatest hits but you eventually get tired of seeing kids walk around with their masks on. Also, the director MURDERED "The happiest days of our lives". My favorite part of the song is when it goes "But in the town it was well known" and when I hear that music, I picture this teacher whipping a kid with a ruler but all we see is a teacher and an old lady eating dinner. We do see some lashing though but not as dramatic as what I had in mind.
So this movie was terrible. If you are a die-hard fan, I know your not going to listen to me and just watch the movie because you like the band but come on. How can a fan like what they do to this movie? When are they going to release a LIVE in concert DVD of Pink Floyd performing the wall? Yes, there is a live concert that Waters had stirred up with some celeberties and far away in Mars is a DVD of the band playing it in 1980 but I can't find it anywhere! I want to see the whole band perform the album live on DVD and I want to get it at a store! Pink Floyd aren't treating their audiences well.
Anyway, don't watch the DVD and go buy what we have of The Wall.
