	Introduction to The Wall
		Pink Floyd's the Wall is arguably one of the most intriguing and imaginative albums in the history of rock music.
		Every incident that causes Pink pain is yet another brick in his ever-growing wall: a fatherless childhood, a domineering mother, a country whose king signs his father's death certificate with a rubber stamp, the superficiality of stardom, an estranged marriage, even the very drugs he turns to in order to find release.
		Yet the minute it is complete, Pink begins to realize the adverse effects of total mental isolation, helplessly watching as his fragmented psyche coalesces into the very dictatorial persona that antagonized the world during World War II, scarred his nation, killed his father, and thereby defiled his own life from birth.

	Pink Floyd The Wall (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pink Floyd The Wall is a 1982 MGM film by British director Alan Parker based on the 1979 Pink Floyd album The Wall.
		Pink, the tragic hero (and unreliable narrator) of the film, is depicted at various stages of physical and mental development.
		Pink married in the late '60s (as evidenced by the clothing worn by the wedding party), but over the years, he and his wife grow further and further apart, with Pink concentrating on his music and his wife becoming involved with an anti-nuclear arms group.

	Pink Floyd: The Wall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		As Pink sits in his chair, in front of a flickering television, he reminisces about his life and the events that caused him to isolate himself.
		Pink's attempts to party with a groupie end in disaster, which only drives him farther into his despair, and causes him to begin to self-mutilate.
		While I must admit that I've never been a huge fan of Pink Floyd (their music is just too mellow for my taste), I do enjoy "Pink Floyd: The Wall." The film is a truly artistic vision that shows the proper way to meld movies with music.

	Pink Floyd's The Wall DVD review on AudioRevolution.com
		When Pink Floyd took off as one of the hottest bands of the 1970s, Waters was little different from other stars, getting deeply involved in the usual sex and drugs.
		Broadly speaking, the story we see is of Pink Floyd, a rock star, who sits before a TV screen in a bleak Los Angeles hotel room, remembering his past, indulging in (and being frightened by) intense fantasies.
		The photography and editing is excellent, but none of the interviewees put 'Pink Floyd the Wall' into any kind of historical perspective, either in terms of movie or music history, or in relation to their own careers.

		Pink Floyd fans themselves are very much divided on it, with many considering it a masterpiece, while others rue the final demise of the Syd Barrett influences.
		But Pink stops himself, stepping back and taking a look at his life and deciding after all that it IS his fault, not the world's, that he is where he is. So he tears down the wall in his head, and either frees himself or dies (metaphorically or literally).
		Pink Floyd's "The Wall" is the last album of its kind--or at least the last one made that's worth listening to.

	Pink Floyd The Wall - 20 Years Later
		Those who went to THE WALL shows expecting to see the band in peak form, performing a cross section of their best known material and extended jams, were in for a big disappointment.
		To the majority, Pink Floyd's individual members are hardly household names; consequently the band had no problem filling stadiums and arenas on the strength of their distinguished body of work.
		Pink was left to confront his fate while the wall was covered with the grotesque figures of his past evoked through Gerald Scarfe's imagination - many of which would re-appear in the subsequent Alan Parker film.

	DVDFILE.COM: Pink Floyd The Wall review
		If you are unfamiliar with the story of The Wall, or have never even heard of Pink Floyd (and believe, me, there are plenty of kids today who haven't, not that I'm that old yet!), I think anyone who can appreciate the abstract and visceral, you'll be taken in by it.
		With The Wall, however, Parker is able to balance the chaotic, quick-cut performance pieces with quieter, reductive passages to create a constant pushing forward and pulling back of the pacing.
		Thankfully, though, The Wall is set up so that after the first animation sequence, if you access that menu again, you do not have to wait for it to cycle again, i.e., once the first animation is done, it becomes a static menu until you begin a feature or stop the player.

		The Wall is less a collection of songs than a single work, which is sometimes frustrating; the plot lacks enough coherence to hold the snippets of music together.
		Pink Floyd's eleventh studio album, 'The Wall', is a rock opera which was conceived and written by bass player, Roger Waters.
		If you are a Pink Floyd fan of any kind, you absolutely must hear this album, otherwise you are denying yourself some of the greatest music they ever made together.

	The Wall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This was due to the grandiosity of the performance, which involved constructing a giant wall across the stage between band and audience, not to mention staple Pink Floyd props such as giant screens, flying pigs and pyrotechnics.
		The wall was eventually torn down during "The Trial", and Pink Floyd themselves joined the surrogate band in front of the wreckage of the wall to perform the finale, "Outside The Wall".

		The Floyd's next album after 1977's "Animals" could very well have been "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking." Roger Waters had approached the band in July 1978 with rough demos of both albums, and the band, wisely, chose "The Wall" as its next project.
		It has since become the best known Floyd song anywhere, rivaled only by 1973's "Money" from "Dark Side of the Moon." In the States, "Run Like Hell"/"Don't Leave Me Now" as well as "Comfortably Numb"/"Hey You" were also released as singles.
		Pink Floyd's next album, 1983's "The Final Cut," would be its last to include Waters.

		Longtime Pink Floyd fans will find the requisite number of bone-crunching riffs and Saturn-bound guitar screems ("In the Flesh"), along with one of the loveliest ballads the band has ever recorded ("Comfortably Numb").

	Pink Floyd - The Wall Review - sputnikmusic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The first of three parts of this song, this song marks the start of Pink’s building of his wall, with lyrics such as “Daddy’s flown across the ocean, leaving just a memory", showing that Pink’s father died in the war, and that from the youngest of ages, Pink’s life is already changing for the worse.
		Although the initial lyrics are the same, Pink then reveals that “Pink isn’t well, he stayed at the hotel", and tests the loyalty of his fans by ordering them to get various racial minorities “up against the wall".
		However, when it seems as if Pink is now beyond all redemption, with the marching atmosphere of the song, and its bitter hatred complementing the lyrics, his lone voice over comes the chanting of the crowd, to scream “Stop!".

		I always thought that "The Wall" was abit of a patchy album but the songs are brought together so well in the movie that it made me appreciate the album more aswell.
		In 1979, Pink Floyd released their double concept album The Wall, which received a mixed reception varying from joy to bewilderment to anger.
		Pink Floyd have always been self indulgent and Roger Waters has an ego that needs careful handling (something that the excellent director Alan Parker found out a bit too late) and some of the extras are therefore only for die hard fans.

		Pink's dad died in the war and that also help to turn him insane; he never had a father, and, it shows in his child hood, that he missed out on a lot of things because of it.
		Pink Floyd was simply not the same after the breakup.
		The plot is quite simple: Pink ('by the way, which one's Pink?') is a rock star whose about had enough of the excess and snaps, journeying into his brain way too far.

		The film is structured around Pink's reflections on his life, all of which center on the building of "the wall." This wall is a metaphor for psychological isolation, a barrier Pink creates to distance himself from his pain.
		The foundations for this wall are lain in childhood, with the death of Pink's father leaving him to be raised by an overprotective mother and a repressive school system.
		However, even after he achieves success as a rock star, the wall continues to grow, with Pink feeling trapped by fame and wounded by his failed personal relationships.

		I was not one of the lucky ones who actually saw the live show of ‘The Wall,’ but the stories are still told in the music industry to this day.
		One of my concerns before hearing the live recording was how Pink Floyd was going to pull off the effects that were so important to the emotional power of the record.
		The quality is up to Pink Floyd's unusually high standard, which just adds to the fact that, if you are into Pink Floyd at all, you need this performance on CD.

		Based on the 1979 double album "The Wall" by Pink Floyd, the film begins in Pink's youth where he is crushed by the love of his mother.
		Slowly he begins to build a wall around himself to be protected from the world outside.
		By any rational measure, Alan Parker's cinematic interpretation of Pink Floyd: The Wall is a glorious failure.

		I recall the first time I started to get into Pink Floyd, and although I'm not the all-out fanboy like so many of my peers from college, I still have to tip my hat to the superb songwriter, Roger Waters.
		Our focus is on Pink, a penultimate rock star who has created a wall within, emotionally separating himself from others and life.

		Music Sales, Inc. presents "Pink Floyd: The Wall: (guitar tab edition)" from their Groups and Personalities series.This classic album is busting through the music book charts the way it did through the album charts when it was first released.
		Given its origins, it's little wonder that The Wall paints such an unsympathetic portrait of the rock star, cleverly named "Pink," who blames everyone — particularly women — for his neuroses.
		But if The Wall is examined in depth, it falls apart, since it doesn't offer enough great songs to support its ambition, and its self-serving message and shiny production seem like relics of the late-'70s Me Generation.

		Regardless, Pink has had enough of the outside world mucking about with him, and decides to use the pieces of ruins he was handed to create his own insulation, keeping him supposedly safe.
		Based on the double album and the ensuing concert/stage show that Pink Floyd produced and performed, The Wall might be considered these days as just an extended music video.
		Taken from bits of Roger Waters' own life, and the life of his former Floyd frontman who mentally burned out, Syd Barrett, the film is a startling portrayal of how the road to hell is paved with all manner of things.

		Pink Floyd's most elaborately theatrical album was inspired by their own success: the alienating enormity of their tours after The Dark Side of the Moon, which was when bassist-lyricist Roger Waters first hit upon the wall as a metaphor for isolation and rebellion.
		Rock's ultimate self-pity opera, The Wall is also hypnotic in its indulgence: the totalitarian thunder of "In the Flesh?" the suicidal languor of "Comfortably Numb," the Brechtian drama of "The Trial." Rock-star hubris has never been more electrifying.
