THE WALL (THE MOVIE)

What an irony: the story about "The wall" started when a spectator spit at an annoyed Roger Waters, this inspired him to make an album about the problems people have with communication. This turned out to be perfect example (Dr Freud would have been excited about the highly neurotic person Roger Waters!) of projection because Roger Waters couldn't communicate no longer with his band members (mind the story about the vans during the tour) and he couldn't communicate with Alan Parker and Gerald Scarfe during the making of this movie! Nonetheless, despite these facts and despite the lack of live images, to me this movie is very emotional and very captivating. The main charactre is very well performed by Bob Geldorf, the cartoons from Gerald Scarfe are mindblowing and the very theatrical and often dramatic scenes during this movie are great. Of course this is almost an autobiography (the lost of his father in the war, his reluctance about the school system and the traumatic events with Syd Barrett) but the message about mis- communication and about the abuse of power are very clear pointed although it may called a bit hypocritical if you look at the person Roger Waters in those days.

VERY ENTERTAINING AND VERY INTERESTING!
