Plot: Inspired by Pink Floyd's album of the same name, Pink Floyd: The Wall is a dark, expressionistic musical, told from the point of view of Pink, a depressed rock musician. The film is structured around Pink's reflections on his life, all of which center on the building of the wall. This wall is a metaphor for psychological isolation, a barrier Pink creates to distance himself from his pain. The foundations for this wall are lain in childhood, with the death of Pink's father leaving him to be raised by an overprotective mother and a repressive school system. He seeks freedom from this world through writing and music. However, even after he achieves success as a rock star, the wall continues to grow, with Pink feeling trapped by fame and wounded by his failed personal relationships. Lost in despair and self-loathing, he attempts to isolate himself from the world entirely. Director Alan Parker approaches this material in a highly stylized manner, mingling animation and dream-like sequences to suggest Pink's perception of the world. These techniques complement the almost constant music, which the film often uses in place of dialogue. Songs include Another Brick in the Wall and Comfortably Numb. ~ Judd Blaise, All Movie Guide

PF The WALL - a snapshot in time
Added 10/19/2009
a true classic video adaptation of a classic concept album. Whether or not the video matches the artists true vision, I can't comment - however this is a snapshot in time to pull out and enjoy on special occasions.

Eu já possuía a primeira versão desse título em DVD, e, equivocadamente entendi que essa "edição especial" apresentasse diferênça que muito me interessa: imagem no aspecto 16:9. O formato widescreen Hi-Definition anunciado na descrição do produto, não é nada mais que o mesmo aspecto da edição anterior, que deixa largas faixas pretas acima e abaixo do filme. Definitivamente, não era isso o que eu queria!

I have always loved this movie anyway. Being able to watch it when ever I want is just one more perk. If you are thinking about buying this DVD, you already know how good it is.

I actually thought that i was buying the cd for my husband. But when he opened the dvd, he was happy. The item arrived before the time stated in brand new condition. I would buy from the seller again in the future.
