Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd: The Wall a film that made you question your understanding on if you truly understood the directors meaning towards the film. While watching the film, it was obvious there are many different course themes interconnected within the film such as almost death/mostly dead, liminal and alternative fantasy. The wall Pink constructed from a young age was to protect him from the pain of love, life and death. During the film, I started to connect this outrageous film with the At its heart, Pink Floyd: The Wall is about a rock star named Pink who discovers his wife is cheating on him when he calls home one day while on tour, discovering she’s with another man. It’s surprising to me when the phone rang, and the man picked up Pink’s wife had no motive to pick up the phone and talk to her husband, she just laid on the bed waiting for the phone to be put down. Pink recedes into a shell of his own alternative fantasy barricading him from the rest of the world, remembering his troubled childhood with evil schoolmasters, and problematic situations with his mother. The music not only complimented the visuals but also was held the “narrator position” of the story. Songs such as “ hey, teacher, leave those kids alone.” and “mother, do you think they’ll try and break.. my balls?” enhances the struggles Pink faced as a child and allowed the viewers to truly feel the pain of an adolescent child trying to survive in a world full of animosity. Though Pink spent most of his harsh life mostly dreaming about his father he never knew who died in World War II. The song “ Bring the boys back home” playing while Pink as a child went to the train station to welcome back his dad and grow up with a father figure to teach him the ways of life. It was obvious Pink was urging his father to be home with him, a father figure missing in his life made him feel lonesome and begging for love. A clear example of this was at the park, when he kept on falling another boy and his father. Can
