THE WALL (THE MOVIE)

One of the best movies of the genre I had ever seen. Even one of my teachers at college recommended us to watch The Wall. Yes, even for psychologists it was an interesting study of the human behavior (not surprisinly, it has a lot to do with Roger Waters own past and traumas). But besides that, I do think it worked very well with the music (at least the storyline makes more sense to me on the screen than on the original The Wall album). The cartoon parts were great to watch at the time. They look too dated and even simplistic nowadays, but they were fantastic in 1983.

I have little else to say. I know all the problems this movie went throuth and the fact that Waters does not like it, but I really love it. I was also enthralled by Bob Geldof's performance: absolutely amazing as the main character. Not an easy flick to watch, it was nevertheless one of the rare cases when I saw it more than five times and I still have the same feelings everytime I put it on. A classic. Essential, if you want to know about prog music.
