Yes, I have felt otherwise.

It's an outstanding concept, album, and movie. As relevant today as it was 30 years ago. One of my very favorites. Absolutely love it.

Gutting myself? Not so much.

I'm obviously going to be in the minority here, but I thought that movie was pretty stupid.

I feel more sympathy than anything else after watching that. It certainly gives you a better insight into Waters' mindset when writing the songs.

However I've never felt depressed afterwards. Perhaps you shouldn't watch it anymore, especially not alone.

I must have been too young when I watched it. I thought it was funny and cool. Not so much emotional.

You're not alone Atoz, I was disappointed too.

I watched it quite a few times in my teens and early twenties and thought it was just a cool trip movie. Now I'm middle aged and I just watched it again a few months ago and got a whole different vibe from it. Very emotionally moving for me. Not a "cool" movie anymore, but I agree it was a bit depressing.

Great movie.

I love Floyd. I admire the artistic vision of the film and the album, but all and all, I don't listen/watch to The Wall very much anymore. It's kind of a downer.

I have to say that my favorite Floyd lies in the Atom Heart Mother through Animals period. The stuff before it's good, but not what I think of immediately when I think of Floyd. Everything after that is really kinda depressing.

Pink Floyd lost me after Meddle. I thought DSOTM was good, but not nearly as exploratory as their earlier music. I like "Moon" a lot better now.

After that they totally lost me. I bought The Wall, played it once and it sat on the shelf for years. I pulled it out a couple of years ago. I am really impressed by the production, but the album itself leaves me cold.

".... and when the band you're in starts playing different tunes...."

I hear enough of their later stuff every day on the radio at the construction site

I watch The Wall once a year.I watch it alone and I drink a lot with it.I feel ripped apart when it finishes,I wake up refreshed in the morning.

Its like a ceremony to clean up the soul.
