Esta me hace llorar. Es dolorosísima y hay que escuchar el disco antes de verla para entender un poco el mensaje que transmiten Roger Waters, David Gilmour y los otros dos.
"By any rational measure, Alan Parker's cinematic interpretation of Pink Floyd: The Wall is a glorious failure. Glorious because its imagery is hypnotically striking, frequently resonant, and s...( read more read more... )uperbly photographed by the gifted cinematographer Peter Biziou. And a failure because the entire exercise is hopelessly dour, loyal to the bleak themes and psychological torment of Roger Waters's great musical opus, and yet utterly devoid of the humor that Waters certainly found in his own material. Any attempt to visualize The Wall would be fraught with artistic danger, and Parker succumbs to his own self-importance, creating a film that's as fascinating as it is flawed.
The film is, for better and worse, the fruit of three artists in conflict--Parker indulging himself, and Waters in league with designer Gerald Scarfe, whose brilliant animated sequences suggest that he should have directed and animated this film in its entirety. Fortunately, this clash of talent and ego does not prevent The Wall from being a mesmerizing film. Boomtown Rats frontman Bob Geldof (in his screen debut) is a fine choice to play Waters's alter ego--an alienated, "comfortably numb" rock star whose psychosis manifests itself as an emotional (and symbolically physical) wall between himself and the cold, cruel world. Weaving Waters's autobiographical details into his own jumbled vision, Parker ultimately fails to combine a narrative thread with experimental structure. It's a rich, bizarre, and often astonishing film that will continue to draw a following, but the real source of genius remains the music of Roger Waters." --Jeff Shannon
My world includes: - morphing flower/genitalia - the judgment: tear down the wall
I was curious about this one. Not so much of a movie, would rather describe as a really long music video. Of course the music is great and the surreal themes are not too bad either.
The Wall(movie) tries to screw with (and screws up, unintentionally) the formula of The Wall (album) by turning it into an arthouse musical. It tries so desperately to be arthouse-ey that the film becomes difficult to be taken seriously. The 'plot' was much better just listening to the audio of the album. Contains beautiful imagery, but is still pretty stupid.
I really love the music and the images but I can't give it a higher rating because it's just a long videoclip. A very good one, yeah, but I don't think it is that good artistically.
I truly believe that Alan Parker has directed some of the best and most important films in the last 30 years and this is definitely one of them.
Mother's gonna make all of your nightmares come true.
Mother's gonna put all of her fears into you.
Mother's gonna keep you right here under her wing.
She won't let you fly, but she might let you sing.
Mama will keep baby cozy and warm.
Of course Mama's gonna help build the wall.
Una buena película con un toque muy original. La película se desarrolla a medida que empiezan a salir varias canciones de Pink Floyd del dico The Wall, y trata sobre la surreal historia de Pinky y de como la guerra ha afectado todo a su alrededor.
Las actuaciones de la película no son las mejores pero el estilo visual es maravilloso, así como la genial banda sonora y algunas que otras animaciones.
Pink Floyd The Wall takes you on a walk through the dark and mysterious mind of a troubled rock star dealing with social, mental and physical isolation from everyone around him.
Fuelled with bizarre, frightening, and strange images throughout the film and backed by the Music of Legendary band Pink Floyd.
Pink Floyd's trippy psychadelic dream is a masterwork of a generation, a mostly animated acid trip, were if actually filmed. In 1980s genre fashion, this was the movie that really freaked kids out. Ha! It also reached them on some weird level, so much so that in junior high schools everywhere, kids were chanting the songs.
es una pelicula increible, contiene muchos mensajes y criticas hacia distintos grupos sociales. no es una pelicula facil de entenderya que tiene muchos simbolismos, pero aun asi es una exelente pelicula
This film was amazing but awfully scary. The images are so vivid and hypnotic and those images are complimented by the soundtrack(inspiration?). All the images are powerful but ones stand out and are etched in my memory: Pink shaving his eyebrows and how strange and unfamilar his features looked, which I got was the point and the second the kids in the meat grinder. Meat grinder being a metaphor for life, politics, capitalism, and or THE aggresser name it, it will fit in beautifully.
The only part that I don't like about this highly symbloic trip fest is that my favorite song from the album(s) (Hey You), is replaced with When the Tigers broke free. Therefore it falls short of 5 stars. in order for it to make any sence you need to be will/able to interpret and you DO NOT need to be high to enjoy it.
Very unique movie I love it. It might seem a little absurd to many people but to me, this is a piece of art, a very finely crafted piece of art, and I admire every single bit of it. This movie captured this one emotion that no word can ever justify, that only art itself will be able to do so, in a form of abstraction that can still be interpreted by the general audience. Ecstatic. Stunning.
