	DVD Review - Pink Floyd: The Wall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		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.
		The film is presented in its letterboxed format and has an aspect ratio of 2.35:1.
		The audio mix on "Pink Floyd: The Wall" is a Dolby Digital 5.1 that truly does justice to the film, and more importantly, the music.

	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.
		Though the film is highly interpretable, the wall itself clearly reflects a sense of isolation and alienation.
		Pink, the tragic hero (and unreliable narrator) of the film, is depicted at various stages of physical and mental development.

	Pink Floyd the Wall (1982) - Channel 4 Film review
		Pink Floyd The Wall successfully contrasts reality and fantasy by cutting between live action and Gerald Scarfe's savagely satirical animation to dissect the mind of a burnt-out rock star (Geldof) in disintegration.
		The story is apparently based on the experiences of scripter and Pink Floyd founder member Roger Waters, who must have been a miserable sod if this is anything to go by.
		Floyd afionados will also recognise elements of the story of Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd's original genius, who left/was ousted from the band in 1968 because of drug-addled, eratic behaviour.

	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.

	DVDFILE.COM: Pink Floyd The Wall review
		The film's story is told in a somewhat nonlinear fashion with no conventional dialogue-driven narrative, instead a mix of flashbacks, strong symbolic imagery and unreal situations.
		Also interesting is the historical impact the film had, and one need look no further than the imagery and theatrics of current acts like Marilyn Manson (who all but ripped off the Nazi-esque imagery from some of the later sequences in the film for his concert tour) to see the connections.
		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.

	Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982)
		Pink Floyd may well have been the cult band of the 1970s.
		Pink Floyd went way beyond the pomp and posturing of their glitter rock contemporaries.
		Much of the sense of fraying sanity that runs through the album and film is drawn on both Roger Waters' personal experiences and those of good friend and former Pink Floyd member Syd Barrett who ended up in a psychiatric institution.

	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.

	Pink Floyd - Behind The Wall
		Pink Floyd were rock's leading technocrats throughout the 70's, masters of the concert spectacle; and "The Wall" shows were the pinnacle of their art.
		There were giant inflatables, back-screened films and all manner of technical wizardry, culminating at the end of the show with the just- completed structure crashing down, to the sound of "Outside The Wall".
		The single from The Wall film, "When The Tigers Broke Free" (originally titled "Overture") was released at the time in a triple-gatefold sleeve, and remains unreleased on commercial CD.

	Floydian Slip(tm) : The Pink Floyd Experience > Albums > Pink Floyd > 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.
		Waters had originally envisioned himself in the lead role — an opinion that in the broader sense was creating increasing friction within the band — as well as genuine concert footage of the Floyd, used in the film.
		Pink Floyd's next album, 1983's "The Final Cut," would be its last to include Waters.

	Pink Floyd The Wall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Broadly speaking an autobiographical film based upon the life of Roger Waters, this is the story of Pink (Bob Geldof as the older, Kevin McKeon as the younger), a young boy failing to come to terms of the death of his father during the war whilst still an infant.
		To many, the film is optimized by the fascist basis of some of the dream, but this is not really a celebration of fascism as many think but a damnation of fascism in its extreme.
		Whilst much of the music was re-recorded for the film and does not bear direct correlation to the album of the same name, the basics are very much the same and this is the entire raison d'être for the film.

		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.
		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.

		This landmark motion picture, which was first released by MGM in 1982, was directed by Alan Parker based upon an original screenplay by Pink Floyd founder Roger Waters.
		Therefore, a new telecine film transfer of the motion picture from the original widescreen interpositive was done in high definition video at the Sony Pictures High Definition Center.
		Pink Floyd technical consultant James Guthrie, one of the film's original music producers, was responsible for restoring, reformatting, and remastering the new 5.1 channel Dolby Digital and PCM stereo soundtracks.

	MMI Review: Pink Floyd: The Wall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Pink suffers from alienation, misses his dead father desperately, and just can't seem to connect with his estranged wife.
		All of Pink's life is thrown onto the screen, and we see songs like "Another Brick In the Wall, Part II" changed from an abstract concept into a vision of students being fed into a meat grinder.
		The animated sequences that reflect Pink's craziness are stunning; the merging of sexuality and violent imagery creates a window into Pink's character and acts to round him out as a real person, not just a cartoon character.

		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.

		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".

		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.

		Gerald Scarfe became frightened that things were getting out of control when, on one day during filming, several of them showed up with the double-hammer insignia shaved into the sides of their heads.
		Later, a fascist group did spring up in the late-80s dubbed the 'Hammerskins' with this logo as their insignia, much to the dismay of Scarfe, Parker, and Waters, whose intentions were to make the portrayal anti-fascist.
		If you like Pink Floyd, you'll love the movie regardless of what you think the cinematic value of the film is. To me, Roger Water's ability to express himself is outrageously smart.

		The scene of ‘Another Brick in the Wall’ where the children are moved as if on an assembly line to a machine that removes their faces and then they are further processed in a meat grinder will help you understand the cryptic lyrics of this masterpiece.

		Pink Floyd: The Wall Film Review - Time Out Film
		It's hard to see where the much-rumoured creative clashes between Floydian self-analyst Roger Waters and director Parker arose, since the movie is a matter of such stunning literalism: it's little more than kinetic sleeve art keyed slavishly to a slim concept-album narrative.
		Neither Parker's bombastic live action sequences (carrying Geldof's mute Pink from a war-baby context of military carnage towards neo-fascist rallying, via the turbulence of rock stardom) nor Gerald Scarfe's animation offer more than pictorial italicising of Waters' lyrics; and the autobiographical pain is laid on so thick it emerges looking more like misogynist petulance.
