Finally Watched The Wall

Sign in to disble this ad
Oh.. my.. god..

What an intense movie, I liked it a lot though.. my older brother on the other hand did not, I think it may have scared him a little bit I'm glad I finally got it off my chest.. I've been wanting to watch this movie for some time now.. I saw it once when I was a little me, but surely I didn't understand it then.. and to be honest still don't completely understand it but more now then before

I watch the wall once a year,with some booze. This year I could only watch the first part,I couldn't watch the second.It was just too much,I was depressed already and I couldn't take it anymore.

Watch the movie and keep the thought in the back of your mind that These guys let Syd Barrett go because of his depressed mental state. Heh!

No, but between the two movies you will have some definite "What the Hell?" moments.

I won't tell you how many times I've watched that movie - it's the best if you're in that kind of mood.

A lot of it is based on Syd Barrett's depressed mental state, which would explain it.

When I was a little kid, my dad and uncle were watching The Wall, and the flower scene came on, my dad went to the bathroom and my uncle called me in, "A cartoon is on!" I ran in and watched the... cartoon. I had nightmares for weeks. What a great uncle.

Tommy, I liked, but I don't see how that would really freak anyone out. I like it because I like the Who, but it's almost TOO corny. My favorite part (won't spoil the movie if you haven't seen it): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivfoVCQM47U Just because hearing The Who, Eric Clapton, and Arthur Brown in one song... unreal, and such a cool rock groove.

The Wall is a very intense movie, but my favorite is " When the Tigers broke free" a song that wasnt on the original album.

The Wall is a classic - although it's dated quite a bit, it's still one of the best movies ever made by "a rock band". Most movies by bands suck really badly, imo.

Yep a classic movie, now add in Sid and Nancy and you have an impressive combo. That's how I saw them the first time.

Amazing movie, but just a bit of advice DO NOT WATCH IT STONED

I wanted to and tried, jeeese! that kept me paranoid the whole time. My friend beside me started freaking me out and getting tense.


It was quit the experience. Those hammers, that black bird, the intensity of the music i mean phenomenal.

Meh.

Watch Trainspotting, Requiem for a dream, and Fight club. Then you can say: what the hell happened?

Is that a joke?

As long as you did not shave your nipples off. That's about the only part I remember of the movie and the depressing feeling afterward.

I've seen Fight Club many times, very good movie. I liked all the hidden features spread throughout the movie, oh and the penguin and bitch-tits bob.

I liked The Wall. But my current favorite music movie is Across The Universe.

They made a pseudo rock opera out of a bunch of Beatles songs. I LIKED IT!!!!

I especially dug the cameos from Joe Cocker and Bono.
