Anyone here every seen it? It's very... wierd and hard to understand.

BurnSide
It's easy to understand once you've watched it through a few times, listened to the music and imagery together, and umm, enjoy the movie with the correct accessorites. original.gif

There was too much animation in it original.gif

But it was good for it bein' made in 1982 I suppose; although it WAS digitally remastered grin2.gif

I love The Wall. It's a masterpeice.

The Wall IS a masterpiece. The animation was necessary and very effective.

A movie that makes people think. Imagine that!

I love this movie! I'll have to borrow it from my uncle again sometime.

Like the others, I hope you were kidding, Pharoah, about that being Bob Dylan. blink.gif
jeceris
pharoh, the picture of bob dylan is in madeyepixies avatar.(he's under the blamange)

love the wall. loved it when it came out.
little known fact, bob geldof, lead singer of the boomtown rats, who played pink, once said, when they were filming the scene in the pool, they needed a mold or platform for bob to lie in just under the waters surface, so it would look like he's floating.
well the studio, around the same time had filmed superman, and someone got the clear plastic body mold they had used for christopher reed, for superman.
but when geldof got in it, he slid around, as he's such a skinny guy, so that didn't work, and then someone suggested they get the supergirl mold. well once they put that in the water, geldof fit it like a glove. he stated he was pretty embarrased by that.
just a little known fact, from little known me grin2.gif
jeceris
sorry.
edit. christopher reeves. that's the guy who was superman.

sorry off topic.

mother can i run for president.......
Pharoah
I'm still confused, and I'm NOT joking.

Is that Bob Dylan?! grin2.gif

TooFarGone
I'm not even going to dignify that with an answer.
Pharoah
SOMEBODY?!

Is that Bob Dylan in his avatar?

...
MadEyePixie
I'll be that somebody. Dude, thats not Bob Dylan...its Jimi Hendrix! You should be slapped.
Pharoah
Oh, thanks... I think.

*Slaps self*

That makes up for it? original.gif

Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, same thing.

The Wall movie is all right I guess, but I don't like the album that much.
50-60 percent of that album is just filler stuff. All you really need is Another Brick In The Wall (Part 1), The Happiest Days Of Our Lives, Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2), Mother, Young Lust, Another Brick In The Wall (Part 3), Hey You, Comfortably Numb, Run Like Hell, Waiting for the Worms, and The Trial.
That's 11 out of 26, the other 15 aren't really good and are mainly there to connect the major songs together. There were others that were taken out, but then put on The Final Cut, which is like the Wall but since it is filler stuff, it doesn't have the impact that the main songs off of The Wall do.

I'm pretty outraged right now no.gif
JennRose
Well, I feel a little better knowing that. You are unique, Jeremy. yes.gif

There's quite a big difference, Pharaoh. original.gif Dylan is a folk-singer, best know for his songwriting. He's written songs like 'Blowin' in the Wind, 'Forever Young', 'I'll Remember You' and (my personal favorite) 'Tangled Up in Blue'. Despite looking like a cadaver for the past 15 years, he is still very much alive and making music. He and folk singer Joan Baez had a thing.

Jimi Hendrix was a rocker, and considered one of the best guitar players in rock history. He is famous for songs like 'Purple Haze', 'Hey, Joe', 'Foxy Lady' and (my personal fave) 'Angel. Sadly, he died of a drug overdose in the early 70's. He and also-dead-from-OD rocker Janis Joplin had a thing.

Interesting trivia note: Dylan wrote the song 'All Along the Watchower', but Hendrix made it famous with his performance. original.gif

Ok, I am done. yes.gif

I think the "phone call" in 'The Wall' was about the most heartbreaking thing ever. I can't for some reason rate it as anymore gutwrenching than anyother part of the movie. crying.gif I'm over it now mellow.gif

I'm 15 too and I love Jimi Hendrix. He was so amazing.

Back to Pink Floyd, my health teacher was talking about this movie Friday. Me and one other kid were the only ones in my class who knew what he was talking about.
Pharoah
Jimi Hendrix is dead? ohmy.gif

Bit of information I didn't know grin2.gif

But I guess it would make sense.

I didn't even know John Lennon died for a long time. Yet he died 25 yrs ago O_o

Is Bob Dylan still alive?
Byuu94
Dylan's still alive, he came out with an autobiography not long ago.
He's been a reculse for the past 20 years or so.
TooFarGone
Hendrix died 35 years ago......September 18, 1970.

Pharoah no.gif that makes me somewhat outraged. Jimi Hendrix was the man, lol.

I loved Pink Floyd in the 80’s and then in the 90’s, after The Division Bel, I found a new Religion in Science musically. Hard to say, but Pink Floyd and astronomy mixes well..
I am a true PF fan.
The Wall is about a rock star’s hallucinations, the tragedy of his father in the war, some ppl might understand that more than I, and beautiful lyrics or Poetry. It was also portraying Jim Morrison or Jimi.
My favourite songs is GoodBye Sky, for its tragedies of war and the Crosses in the sky, and Is Anybody Out There. The wall thing in the movie during Is Anybody Out was awe-inspiring. I had the sense of a deeper meaning of incompleteness’ of Man’s knowledge of himself. True Classic. If you hear about the remedies to watch the movie , so be it, and yea, u might understand it more.
The Wall could mean anything to everyone. I have never see them in concert and I am still waiting and hopefully for thier next album. rolleyes.gif

Let's keep this on topic please.

If I'm not greatly mistaken, "The Wall" was heavily influenced by Roger Waters after his mental breakdown after the realse of "Animals". I think he was sick of the band becomeing, in his mind, mainstream. Kinda makes sense when you compare "Pink's" life with Waters'.

Yeah, it wasn't about Jim Morrison, despite the drugs. Actually most people think by lstening to Floyd that they all did drugs. This is not true at all. Syd Barret did LSD which compuonded his other problems, and he left the band in 1969. The other four didn't do any drugs at all, except for the occassional drink.

God, I hope they'll make another album. But I think the Live 8 thing was kinda a farewell. But who knows, Jeff Lynne is still making music.
