I grew up with Pink Floyd and I still love their music, and although I prefer other albums than “The Wall” (the brilliant “Dark Side of the Moon”, for instance), there are some passages from this film that I will always love. Roger Waters tackled his childhood traumas and brought the world beautiful music and very depressing lyrics, which Parker skillfully translated to the screen, but it must be said, what would his film be without the unforgettable drawings of Gerald Scarfe, the author of all the animations and the cover of “The Wall”.

Very impressive in the details, but it failed to have any significant effect on me. And I didn’t even like the music :-( (14.08.2009)

It is difficult to understand and yet captivating film. I would like to know if Roger Waters had this in mind when he wrote the original music, because if so, I really don't envy his ideas and visions. I don't give the highest rating to this unparalleled piece just because it became incomprehensible in the last half hour, and I probably didn't exactly understand what the creators wanted to express. On the contrary, the first forty minutes belong to the best I have ever seen. (19.05.2006)

The album "Pink Floyd: The Wall" is one of those to which I regularly return with strict regularity, and the central musical motif brought my neighbors to madness when I was constantly playing it. Nevertheless, I avoided the film for many years because I suspected that Parker and I would not get along. In the past, I have encountered feature films conceived as hundred-minute music videos, and in my opinion, these projects fail because they would work great when divided into individual songs accompanied by visuals, but they do not hold together as a whole. They appear too inconsistent, and The Wall is a clear example of that. I would rate the six-minute music video "Another Brick in the Wall" on YouTube at 100%, but here, after 10 minutes, I already felt that my ominous suspicions were being fulfilled, and with each passing minute, I realized that I would appreciate just listening much more. The visuals simply interfere. This is not changed by the presence of many ideas, interesting animations, and great shots, because the film is supposed to function as a whole, not as a collection of parts. Overall impression: 45%.

"The Wall" is a legendary album and equally legendary film by the British rock band Pink Floyd. Both works are legends in their genres, both leave you with incredibly strong emotions. This isn't music that you casually listen to, and the film isn't one you enjoy while ironing. You have to experience them. Only in that state do they have the proper effect. I admit that for many years, Pink Floyd's music passed me by. I didn't seek it out. I'm sure it was playing around me, but I simply didn't have the opportunity to get to know them better because I wasn't interested. I don't want to directly say that I regret it, but when I listened to the film "Pink Floyd: The Wall," I realized that I was indeed missing out on a lot. Knowing the songs "Another Brick in the Wall" is definitely not everything, because their other songs are incredible as well. "The Wall" is an album filled with powerful lyrics, which was subsequently transferred to the film, where the character of Pink was portrayed by Bob Geldof, the frontman of The Boomtown Rats, who became famous mainly through his giant project "Live Aid" to help African nations by raising sufficient funds. The choice of this musician as the lead actor was excellent. He is occasionally crazy enough and gives his character the right charisma and madness. In the personal and intimate scenes, he is human, just as he is inhumane in the role of a dictator. The film is full of great images, whether it's the famous grinding of students in a massive mincer or the march of hammers. It is definitely an experience that must be lived through.
