Pink Floyd – The Wall: Directed by Alan Parker. With Bob Geldof, Christine Hargreaves, James Laurenson, Eleanor David. A confined but troubled rock star descends into madness in the midst of his physical and social isolation from everyone.

“What can you possibly say except that this movie is amazing?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;The Wallu0026quot; is one of the few movies out there that has a powerful effect on the people are receptive to its message. Told with practically no dialogue, the only guide to the bizarre, frightening, and strange images is the incredible music by Pink Floyd, from their equally good double album. A considerable number of the songs were re-recorded for this movie, and one song (the heart-wrenching u0026quot;When the Tigers Broke Freeu0026quot;) was added. The new versions of the songs are sometimes worse than the album (Waiting for the Worms), and sometimes better (Mother, In the Flesh).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;The Wallu0026quot; isnu0026#39;t a pleasant movie, nor is it a simplistic or banal movie. It is brutal, cynical, and disturbing, but it has moments of flesh-tingling beauty and an uplifting message in the end, if you persevere. I recommend both it and the album to anyone who enjoys a powerful movie. In my opinion, u0026quot;The Wall,u0026quot; along with a few other albums, represents the pinnacle of rock music.”
