Análisis (en inglés) - :
{$Pink Floyd}'s {#The Wall} is a splendidly engrossing, self-indulgent {\rock & roll} movie. Based on {$Pink Floyd}'s monumental 1979 masterpiece {^The Wall}, director {$Alan Parker} and animator {$Gerald Scarfe} took {$Roger Waters}' semi-autobiographical tale of {%Pink}, a burned-out {\rock} star who descends into alienation and madness, and turned it into a "midnight movie" cult favorite. A "feel-good movie" it is not, but {$Waters} isn't known for thematic subtlety. {$The Boomtown Rats}' {$Bob Geldof} stars as {%Pink}, and we watch as he silently reflects on his father's death in World War II, his school days, his crumbling marriage, and his status as a fascist leader. The symbolism inherent in {$Waters}' concept, {$Parker}'s fine direction, and {$Scarfe}'s breathtaking animation is so strong it often bludgeons viewers, but it works. Two of {$Scarfe}'s sequences in particular are stunning: {&"Goodbye Blue Sky"} shows the Union Jack dissolve into a bloody cross as the blood runs down a drain; tense sexuality and misogyny illustrate {&"Empty Spaces"} through copulating, human-like "flowers" (giving Freudian scholars much to chew on). {$Parker} ends the film on a gently hopeful note when children literally clean up and rebuild a bombed-out city. The 1999 DVD edition of {#The Wall} is fantastic. The widescreen film transfer itself is crisp and vivid, the remastered soundtrack rumbles, and the "extras" are practically endless. Two documentaries -- a 25-minute behind-the-scenes piece, and a 45-minute segment featuring insightful interviews with {$Waters}, {$Parker}, {$Scarfe}, and others -- are included. Previously unreleased footage intended to accompany {&"Hey You"} is highlighted, as well as the rarely seen {&"Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2"} music video. Other bonuses include running commentary from {$Waters} and {$Scarfe}, the original film trailer, production photos, and animation stills. ~ Bret Adams, All Music Guide
