Pink Floyd The Wall is a 1982 film by British director Alan Parker based on the 1979 Pink Floyd album The Wall. The screenplay was written by Pink Floyd vocalist and bassist Roger Waters. The film is highly metaphorical and is rich in symbolic imagery and sound. It features virtually no dialogue and a linear storyline which is explained through Pink Floyd's music. Although released theatrically, in many ways The Wall more resembles a long-form music video than a traditional narrative feature film. Image File history File links Pink_floyd_the_wall. ...

Pink married in the late 1960s, 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. She eventually has an affair with the leader of the group while Pink is on tour. After the affair, Pink suffers a breakdown in a Los Angeles hotel room. After inviting a groupie in with him, he goes into such a comatose state that he practically doesn't notice the girl's presence, even as she attempts to comfort him, concerned for his isolating behavior. Without warning, he starts to violently smash everything in the hotel room, while the distraught girl tries to keep out of his path of destruction. After finally throwing the television through the window, the violent outburst ends, with the girl gone. He then shaves off all his body hair (as did Syd Barrett when he was seen in the Wish You Were Here recordings), and sits inside the boundaries of the wall. Doctors are sent in and inject Pink with drugs. The drugs cause Pink to hallucinate at his shows; he then experiences delusions of grandeur in which he believes that he has become the leader of a violent, racist, hate group, bearing strong resemblances to modern Neo-Nazi gangs.

The melody of In the Flesh is re-created as a military march by a fanfare plus church organ with Wagnerian overtones. His concerts have become rallies, with Pink hysterically pointing out minorities in the audience and encouraging his faithful to "put 'em up against the wall."

One of Gerald Scarfe's many depictions of the wall from Pink Floyd The Wall In the final sequence, Pink goes before a bizarre kangaroo court trial, shown entirely in animation. This stage in Pink's life is clearly a symbolic representation of his state of mind. Many people believe that the trial scene of the film bears a strong likeness to the climactic trial scene of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Influences of Berthold Brecht and Kurt Weill's musical dramas can also be found in this section (the use of rituals and ceremonies to highlight the action) while the musical structure (i.e. the lines sung by the "witnesses") owe much to Savoy Opera.

History Even before the original Pink Floyd album was recorded, a film was intended to be made from it.[1] However, the concept of the film was intended to be live footage from the album's tour, with Scarfe's animation and extra scenes. The film was going to star Waters himself. Unfortunately, EMI did not intend to make the film, as they did not understand the concept.[2] The EMI Group (LSE: EMI) is a British music company comprising of the major record company EMI Music which operates several labels, based in Kensington in London, England, and EMI Music Publishing, based in New York. ...
Director Alan Parker, a fan of Pink Floyd, asked EMI whether The Wall could be adapted to film. EMI suggested that Parker talk to Waters, who asked Parker to direct the film. Parker instead suggested that he produce it and give the directing task to Scarfe and Michael Seresin, a cinematographer.[3] Waters began work on the film's screenplay after studying scriptwriting books. He and Scarfe produced a special-edition book containing the screenplay and art to pitch the project to investors. While the book depicted Roger in the role of Pink, after screen tests, Roger was removed from the starring role.[4] and replaced with the edgy punk musician Bob Geldof. Punk rock is an anti-establishment music movement beginning around 1976 (although precursors can be found several years earlier), exemplified and popularised by The Ramones, the Sex Pistols, The Clash and The Damned. ...
Since Roger was no longer in the starring role, it no longer made sense for the feature to include Pink Floyd footage, so the live film aspect was dropped. Waters and Parker were not given much of a choice anyway, because the footage culled from the five Wall concerts that were held specifically for filming was deemed unusable.[5]
Documentary A documentary was produced about the making of Pink Floyd The Wall entitled The Other Side of the Wall that includes interviews with Parker, Scarfe, and clips of Waters, originally aired on MTV in 1982. A second documentary about the film was produced in 1999 entitled Retrospective that includes interviews with Waters, Parker, Scarfe, and other members of the film's production team. Both are on The Wall DVD as extras. MTV (Music Television) is an American cable television network based in New York City. ...

The only songs from the album not used in the film are Hey You and The Show Must Go On. Most of the Hey You footage was later edited into the film, and raw footage of the intact sequence was first made available on the DVD release as a deleted scene. Roger Waters has expressed dissatisfaction with the final product of the film, and is reported to have been philosophically at odds with director Alan Parker during filming, who himself walked out of the project on multiple occasions due to the conflict. In a 1988 interview on Australian radio, Waters said: "I was a bit disappointed with it in the end, because at the end of the day I felt no sympathy at all with the lead character... and I found it was so unremitting in its onslaught upon the senses, that... it didn't actually give me... as an audience, a chance to get involved with it." [1] Despite Waters' dissatisfaction, the film is considered by many fans to be a worthy interpretation of Pink Floyd's album, and a powerful work of cinema in its own right. Hey You is a song by the British progressive rock band Pink Floyd. ...

David Gilmour stated that the making of the film was where the feud between him and Waters started. Gilmour also stated on the documentary Behind The Wall (which was aired on BBC TV and VH1 in the US) that "the movie was the less successful telling of The Wall story as opposed to the album and concert versions". The film entered at #28 of the US Box Office charts despite only playing in one theatre on its first weekend, grossing over $68,000, a rare feat even by today's standards. The film then spent just over two months below the top 20 while still in the top 30, before moving up to its peak placing of #3 from the low 20's the previous week.
Trivia - The film's original plot was going to comprise of footage of the band playing live at Earls Court in London with Gerald Scarfe's animation sprinkled throughout the film. Alan Parker later nixed the idea. Film footage of the Earls Court shows from 1980 and 1981 have surfaced on bootlegs and look presentable.
- In the scene where Pink is lying in the blood-filled pool, Geldof had to float in a plastic body mould (which had also been used in Supergirl) because he could not swim. Geldof mentions this in his autobigraphy Is That It?
- There is a semi-subliminal image in the bloody pool scene: the soldier/father's face is momentarily replaced with the screaming-face artwork from Scarfe's poster for the film. This screaming-face image is also shown at other points throughout the film for one or two frames at a time, such as when the soldier/father is bombed and killed while frantically attempting to make a phone call.
- During the wedding scene between Pink and the wife, Roger Waters makes a cameo in the movie as one of the wedding witnesses (he is wearing a red overcoat) just after Pink kisses his wife, he is seen standing on the right side of the screen, and during the next scene while the photographer is taking a snapshot of them, he is seen on the far left. *THIS IS NOT ROGER WATERS.* Despite his cameo in the movie, Waters chose to not have his name in the credits. Some versions of the film have Roger's cameo trimmed out of the scene.
- During the scene where Pink finds his father's items during "When the Tigers Broke Free", Pink finds a certificate of appreciation that lists his father's name as J.A. Pinkerton. This can be taken to indicate that Pink's real name is Floyd Pinkerton. But, during the scene where Pink is trying to reach his wife on the phone, you can hear, "...call to Mrs Floyd from Mr Floyd..." Pink Floyd is probably the character's stage name.
- During the filming of the "One of My Turns" hotel-room-smashing scene, Bob Geldof actually hurt his hand tearing wooden slats out of the wardrobe doors, but was so caught up in moment that he did not stop. The crew were unaware of the injury until the filming finished. You can see in the film Bob briefly stop and look at his hand, and then continue. For the rest of the scene he has a shirt or sheet either held or wrapped around that hand. Ironically, it was not the hand the character injures on a piece of glass at the end of the scene.
- During the scenes in which Pink becomes a skinhead leader, real neo-Nazis were used as extras in rallies. Director Alan Parker lost his voice shouting "cut" on certain scenes; also, animator Gerald Scarfe felt things were getting out of hand when some turned up with his crossed-hammers symbol shaved into their heads. Today, the crossed hammers have been adopted as the logo of the racist group Hammerskins.
- During the scene in which Pink is sitting in the bathroom stall reading his poetry book, just before he begins the lyrics to "Stop", he recites: "Do you remember me? How we used to be? Do you think we should be closer?", which are lyrics from "Your Possible Pasts", the second track of The Final Cut, released one year after the movie. After a brief pause, Pink then begins to recite: "And I reached out my hand, just to touch your soft hair; to make sure in the darkness, that you were still there; and I have to admit, I just was a little afraid..." These are lyrics from "5:11 AM (The Moment of Clarity)", the last track on Waters's The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking, released two years after the movie.
- The war movie that Pink watches on the hotel room's television is the classic World War II film The Dam Busters (1954). Dialogue stating that the dog's name is Nigger is deliberately included, although UK television screenings typically omit the scene (and U.S. versions redub the name as "Trigger").
- In the first few frames of the "defecation" toward the end of the Trial, the prosecutor and another character from the beginning of the animated sequence come flying out with the excrement. This is only noticeable while watching the sequence at a slower speed. The film does not feature the "loop" found on the album, which begins with Roger Waters saying "...we came in" and ends with "Isn't this where...". However, it is included, after a fashion, on the DVD as an easter egg. The DVD commentary track ends as the credits begin to roll, but if it is left playing, the line "Isn't this where we came in?" is heard (in one piece) after the credits.
- Several sequences feature Bob Hoskins (playing Pink Floyd's manager trying to downplay the artist's alienation). Hollywood's famed composer and conductor Michael Kamen is briefly shown conducting the fanfare that plays the "fascistic" version of "In the Flesh". The hotel manager was played by actor Michael Ensign, who would also play a hotel manager in the movie Ghostbusters. The song "Empty Spaces" was replaced with its longer version, "What Shall We Do Now," which was the version that was originally supposed to be on the album, but was cut for time.
