So I'll admit I wasn't always a huge màu hồng, hồng Floyd người hâm mộ before this album. Obviously I do tình yêu them now.. The tường really made a màu hồng, hồng Floyd believer out of me.. I only saw the film once but it stuck with me, and I know most of the the album bởi heart, and the film really gave the album a new experience.
Backstory first.. Roger Waters was in a really dark place. He was having a mental breakdown and ended up working on this album to express what he was going though. The tường is a metaphor for self isolation. I'm pretty sure we all went though THE tường at some point. Especially after the gần đây pandemic, this film became relevant again after that..
So the story goes, in the mist of WW2, our protagonist "Pink" had Mất tích his father to the Nazi's. With a overbearing mother he grew up an introvert. Both of these things Roger Waters đã đưa ý kiến is based on his real life.
At school we find out that child abuse wasn't treated as that serious back in the day, mostly going ignored. Most of the students are routinely beaten and according Pink, the teachers destory all creativity and wants them to all be "drones", like in the military. Represented in the film bởi them wearing blank faced masks that removes anything that stands them out. màu hồng, hồng envisions the famish "another brick in the wall", where the students go on a riot and destroy the school.. Though Doug Walker calls it "bitching about school and needing to grow up", I myself find this to be one of the most insensitive things Doug has ever said, but just my opinion..
Speaking of Doug, lets talk about the "Oscar bait song", the one already created in the album and was simply used in the song.. It's clearly about the beginning of the the war...
"Did bạn see the frightened ones?"
"Did bạn hear the falling bombs?"
Anyway, so skipping ahead, eventually màu hồng, hồng finds out his wife is having an affair, which the movie makes thêm sympathetic than the album, where màu hồng, hồng cheated first. In her defence though, màu hồng, hồng is so focused on his "wall", it means he's emotionally distant. In fact he's barely there at all, he's basically a husk.. The film does seem to be a warning about staying in reality.
màu hồng, hồng has a mental breakdown and tries to overdoes on drugs but his song manager finds him and forces him to live. Comfortably Numb is during Pink's seizure.
While unconscious, màu hồng, hồng seems to have finally snapped, envisioning himself as the worst thing he can think of, a Neo nazi leader. Who uses Pink's người hâm mộ audience to start a hate riot. And it proves "Run Like Hell" to be a very interesting song. As it sounds happy, but no, it's about terrible things. màu hồng, hồng Floyd is unique like that.
So having enough, màu hồng, hồng puts himself on a fictional trail. Which in my opinion is the song where Roger Waters really shines as a talented actor. He plays at least 5 different characters, and he manages to make them all stand out. The song became được ưa chuộng enough it became a musical with Tim món cà ri, cà ri and a few others. Most of it's good, but the Judge isn't as powerful without Roger's voice, the raw anger and booming voice isn't there.
Coarse Doug's only take away is that the "characters aren't established". But they are. Especially the teacher and the wife, it's just only now they are animated, cause it's inside Pink's head.. Speaking of, the film is known for its really creepy animation. Something only màu hồng, hồng Floyd could come up with..
Anyway, yeah I do recommend it, but only to màu hồng, hồng Floyd fans.. I hope my take on it was worth the read.. Till tiếp theo time... If bạn want a wild ride, get high and listen to The tường album..
