The flames are all long gone
But the pain lingers on
Great film to accompany an even greater album. This scene is just dripping with creativity.
I’ve always wished this song was 2 minutes longer.
What a trip (maybe quite literally) it would be to see The Wall in the Vegas dome.
If you havnt seen The Wall on acid, you have not lived.
I would recomend against The Shining while on acid though.
I havnt done acid in 15 years, but I would if I could find it easily.
Look mommy, there’s an airplane up in the sky.
One of my favorite movies to masturbate to!
/u/madd74 approves, as do I
Roger Waters living through the bombing of London makes me thing if Gaza today.
Put this on for a friend while we did acid and he kept asking me if the movie was animated or not because of the switches in media formats throughout. What a ride.
This song fits really well with the events of 9/11, which happened around the time I discovered and became obssessed with this album in high school.
One of my favorite PF songs.
Directed by Doug Walker
Sadly this experience has also made Roger go off the deep end: he completely buys into the Russian propaganda and basically sided with Russia during the Ukraine invasion. He is CONVINCED Ukraine is a Nazi regime and Russia’s invasion is legitimate.
While he is deeply traumatized by the death of his father it makes me wonder if he ever truly understood WHY his dad sacrificed pacifism and volunteered for the air force.
My favorite segment of the whole movie; I just love the combo of this song and those soaring, mournful harmonies and the animation that accompanies it.
As for Waters, well, apparently he’s so far gone that he’s just reading extended bits from his biography at concerts these days (among his other eccentricities), so I’ll just appreciate the art without thinking too much about the artist.
Is this official or some fan made because sound quality is horrible and there are trailing blur on the pictures for a “remaster 4k 60fps” looks like recorded from a cheap TV with soap opera effect turned to medium.
For most of Pink Floyd, this was a nightmare vision. For Roger Waters it was mission statement.
I love most of the music of Pink Floyd. But, it’s tough when you know a founding member supports both putin and hamas. It’s a shame that the stain of Waters lingers…at least to me.
My favorite Pink Floyd song, this segment of the movie was exactly how I imagined this songs visuals should be.
I saw The Wall at a movie theater at a Canadian Armed Forces base. The theater required you to wear your dress uniform. At the beginning of the film we stood at attention while God Save the Queen played on the screen. At the end of the film we again stood while Oh Canada (nation anthem) was played.
I found it all very ironic considering many of the themes in the movie.
The way older people react to PF is as sociologically interesting as it is puzzling to those untouched by the music
I just thought about this video. It still kind of haunts me t watch, but thinking about how a modern reinterpretation of this could be made about drones use in Russia/Ukraine conflict
Just listened to this in Rick and Morty and planned on adding it to my play list. What are the odds? 👍
This is my favorite song by Pink Floyd, and I think it is highly underrated.
They aren’t for everyone and should be used responsibly, but one night of shrooms and watching The Wall cured me of depression, when I wasn’t attempting to use it therapeutically.
Great song, and fantastic animation. But I really don’t like how the 4K has smoothed out the video in places.
They have it on blu-ray all day long.
I’m not condoning it, but isn’t there still peer 2 peer sites you can still use to scoop up hard to find things like that
Why is a 40 year old cartoon clip marked NSFW?
inb4 ppl are mad at roger waters not supporting ukraine war/war in general
Lol, you all are right. Been a very long time. Gettin old.
Man when i first saw this movie….
This is my favorite song from the album.
Such a powerful video. I remember watching this as a kid and being mesmerized by the creativity
this looks like garbage in 60fps.
My dream is to own some Cels from this scene but they’re so damn expensive. Would be worth it though, easily one of my favorite works of animation.
Roger Waters, Richard Wright, David Gilmour and Nick Mason might be the best ensemble in music (after the Beatles)
I had no idea they released this in 4k, I have it on DVD. I know what I’m doing tonight.
EDIT: this was never released in 4k. Only upscaled from the blu ray by the YouTube uploader.
Teenage me had rented The Wall because I loved the music. My parents popped it into the VCR just to see what it was and immediately accused me of being on 5 different types of drugs.
That kid face planting at the end wasn’t planned. Kudos on the main kid actor to go back to help instantly. The redhead kid glances at the camera crew like “do we stop?”
So here’s a really horrifying true story about how Pink Floyd became the soundtrack to the worst thing I’ve ever seen. I realize after writing this that I’ve never really talked about it. Be warned, it’s gruesome. I was a criminal prosecutor working a murder case. There was one guy known as cave man, a sweet guy, had some cognitive issues, and he was put up in kind of a halfway house by a local church, but he was harmless. Then there was this other guy (I won’t include his name as he doesn’t deserve the infamy). He was pure evil and crazy in a really frightening way. For real. He told a story on the stand about how and when he believes he lost his mind and became evil. He’s the only guy I’ve ever been actually scared to be in court with. (I promise Pink Floyd and The Wall comes into play eventually.) So Evil guy needed a place to stay and cave man being the nice guy said Evil guy could stay with him.
At some point Evil guy became convinced that cave man was a drug addict (he probably wasn’t, it was likely just the cognitive issues). Evil guy decides that he needs to eradicate drug addiction, which means killing cave man. So he does. The terrible parts start here. He first hits cave man in the back of the head with a 2×4 so hard that it caves in his skull in one blow (very very not easy to do). If it’s any consolation, cave man probably didn’t know what was happening and we know he died instantly. Terribleness continues: But still, evil guy then gets a knife and begins stabbing cave man around his neck and chest (wounds didn’t really bleed which is how we know he was already dead). Warning: It gets a little worse still. As far as we can tell, the only thing that stops evil guy from stabbing cave man any more is when evil guy plunges the knife so deep into cave man’s neck that it got stuck in cave man’s spine. With that, evil guy covers up cave man with a blanket, turns the radio on really loud, and leaves.
The loud radio causes the home owner to get suspicious, peeks in and sees a blanket over a human-shaped lumped. Calls police. Crime scene techs enter the scene first with camera rolling. On the radio, loud and clear, is The Wall. Crime scene techs proceed through the house so as to capture the scene without disturbing anything, the whole time “Goodbye Cruel World” is playing loud in the background, and then “Hey you”. They go around the house filming until they come back to the man-shaped lump under the blanket with the tee-pee poking up just down from the head.
I had never watched the video with the sound on until it played during trial, so I experienced this right along with the jury. “Hey You” was playing, that I know for sure. And as Roger Waters sang “Open your heart, I’m coming home”, the tech pulled back the blanket to reveal a pale corpse, eyes half opened, mouth agape like it was about to speak (that I won’t forget), and with a butcher knife standing straight out of his neck. They take the blanket the rest of the way off, take some pictures, then cover him back up. They would later move him to find the wound to the back of the head.
I watched the movie The Wall probably younger than I should have and it really scared me (probably why I’ve never really ever touched drugs, so that’s a plus). But this was a whole new level. They eventually turned the radio off and processed the rest of the scene. Evil guy represented himself at trial and ended up with life without parole. That trial itself was another entirely different story that could take up more space than even this, including my co-counsel quitting halfway through trial (literally quit his job, left, never came back).
So yeah, The Wall still scares the shit out of me. Long story, so if you managed to stick around, thanks.
This is so well done but Empty Spaces is my favorite animated part. Whole thing is great. I wish they’d released a movie soundtrack version of the album
Does this kind of animation style have a name? Where things transform into other things, etc?
Man that kid ate shit.
I vividly remember decades ago being high as a kite watching that for the first time in my buddy’s basement.
I’ve never seen the MV for this. What a stark contrast to what I imagined.
I took LSD and saw this in a theater (Natick MA Sack Cinema) when it came out.
Issues.
