ive seen it about 6 times, it has many flaws, but it is still a good movie. they dont include hey you in the movie, which pisses me off. the animated parts are amazing. it wouldve been a lot better if they made the part where he turns into a neo-nazi more comprehendable.. it just comes out of nowhere. a lot of other things could have been done to make it perfect. anywho.. still a great movie.

Yeah, the animated parts were way cooler than anything I've probably ever seen animation-wise.

i have no problem comprehending it since ive seen it soo many times, im just saying theirs no transition between many scenes and many parts of his life, its like they jump chapters in a book. its a great movie to watch while your eyes are red tho.

Actually, it was released in 1982. That's almost 30 years ago, not twenty. And yeah, the animation is great. It's the same person who did the animation for the Fear and Loathing books, as well.

For people who have listened to the whole album, is it better to hear the whole thing first and then see the movie or the other way around? I've heard some of the album, and it was certainly cool to recognize songs, but I wonder if I had heard the whole thing if I would'nt have been surprised at the end or something.

I've only seen parts of it. The live-action scenes are kinda meh to me, but the animated sequences are truly amazing. I might get around to watching from start to finish someday, but it's not on the top of my list.

I watched it once, I didn't like it at all so I decided to simply ignore it so that it doesn't ruin my experience with the awesome album.

kingman03

The main character in The Wall "Pink" builds a wall in his head shutting out all of society and puts himself into isolation after many influences in his life such as an overbearring mother and bad school teachers, until he finds that maybe it wasn't such a good idea but can't escape from the mental wall that he put up and eventually becomes a neo-nazi (which his father died in World War II trying to defeat the Nazi's) and then puts himself on a mental trial and finally destroys the wall. -That is the summary/short/non-detailed plot of the movie.

EDIT: I still need to see the movie and want to see it really bad. Shame Waters had some issues while making The Wall and after The Wall that lead to the band's bitter split.

I also suggest listening to the Album a few times aswell to help better explain its point.

I hated it. Basically I thought it was pretty average, but it had SO much potential that I ended up hating it.
