This was a hard one to
choose because first I don’t watch too many movies and second every time I
watch a movie, I’ll know around the first 5 minutes of it if I like it or not.
So I haven’t watch too many odd movies.
The movie I’ve chosen it’s called The Wall. Wikipedia defines it as a 1989 British live-action/animated psychological horror musical film, so that kinda’ says something right? Haha. It was directed by Alan Parker and the animated scenes were directed by political cartoonist Gerald Scarfe. It’s based on the 1979 Pink Floyd album of the same name so the album has a huge influence on the movie and also the screenplay was written by former Pink Floyd vocalist and bassist Roger Waters.
The film centers around
a confined rocker, named Floyd "Pink" Pinkerton, who after is driven
into insanity by the death of his father and many depressive moments,
constructs a metaphorical and sometimes physical wall to be protected from the
world and emotional situations around him, but soon backfires and demands
himself free.
I had to watch this movie in school for my music class and also I had to do an essay about it so I watched the whole thing. I remember thinking while I was seeing it: This is so weird. . What this means? And things like that. It had strong images and crazy cartoons dancing around so I didn’t know what was going on. Later when I made the essay. I had to analyze the movie and that gave me a new perspective of it. This movie (and the album itself) has a very strong critical message about society, about how education it’s built and how it brainwashes the kids in order to behave a certain way. That made me understand it and put the “weird” aside to get a better look of what the movie meant.
With that being said, I can say I liked the movie and its message a lot because I found it very wise and clever so it’s basically a magnum opus to me (the album “The Wall” also is). I defiantly recommend it.
P.S: I don’t recommend it for kids. It might be a little frightening.
Thanks for reading
That’s all . . for now :)
