ok i just got around to watching this movie, i have always loved the cd, but never put a story to it while listening to it.

and after watching the movie all i got from it was something about a nazi/kkk army with x's or something.

and i was told many times that if you watch it high it makes sense or something. well i was pretty damn baked and it still doesn't make any sense.

explination of the movie? anybody?

It's the same story as the album. Pink has problems in his childhood and decides to build an imaginary 'wall' in his mind. The 'wall' is meant to isolate him from the cruel world so that he won't have to deal with any more pain. He ends up becoming a rock star, but the idea of the 'wall' backfires and he sends himself spiralling into depression and eventual insanity.

In The Flesh? - Mother: Childhood problems that lead to the building of the 'wall'.

Goodbye Blue Sky - Goodbye Cruel World: The building of the 'wall'.

Hey You - Bring The Boys Back Home: The depression, isolation, reminiscing, etc.

Comfortably Numb, The Show Must Go On: Pink overdoses and sends himself into a comatose state before a concert. The doctor injects him with something to get him out of it so he can play the show.

In The Flesh - Waiting For The Worms: This is when Pink completely loses it. I read that instead of playing the show as planned, he goes out and acts as if it's a Nazi rally, yelling racial slurs at the crowd, etc. He ends up starting a riot and they go through town beating people and whatnot. Personally, I believe he never did any of that. I believe he was driven to the venue, and instead of going to his dressing room, he walked into the washroom and passed out in a stall and dreamed about the Nazi rally.

Stop: The little good left in Pink helps him realize what he's doing and well...stops. Or, if you believe that he dreamed it all, this is when he wakes up.

The Trial: A 'trial' goes on in Pink's own mind and he decides to tear down the 'wall'.

Outside The Wall: Exactly what the song title says. The aftermath.

The movie is good, as long as you dont mind a whole feature film of pyschedelic acid trips, being based on a Floyd album you should already know that.

I love the brillant animated sequences, those were the best parts of the movie.

I've never understood how people think The Wall is 'trippy'. The music on The Wall isn't trippy, and the movie is more depressing than anything.

Live At Pompeii is something to watch stoned.
