PinkFloyd'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.
PinkFloyd The Wall is a 1982 MGM film by British director Alan Parker based on the 1979PinkFloyd 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.
