so i just watched pink floyd - the wall
fascinating piece
hard to recomend ngl cos it's a kinda heavy, i don't think the some of the content is for everyone
but
very good
i don;'t now how much i wanna give like a detailed review about it cos it's very abstract and up to interpritation which means it very revealing about a person when they analyse it and i'm not against that but like my main issue is that it would be so much effort to write all my thought/feelings about it down into a coherent review
like if i was to actually try i'd neeed correct spelling, gramma and punctuation to properly get everything across correctly
and i simply don't have time to do that at the minute
like maybe eventually but at the moment i literally don't have time
and like idk how much that would actually match the ton of this blog
so
instead
here are some random ish thoughts i had about the piece that are kinda funny
spoilers for the wall ahead and errr tw yonic imagery and discusions of facism
also i have boba, ignore how late i'm having caffine for me
Tumblr media
so random funny thouight i had about the wall in no particular order cos i started listening to journey and i'm losingf my train of thought
so pink is played by bob geldof (who i always new as rod geldof idk whyyyy) and people make a point that he dosn't get to sing in teh film which is whatever to me rn but i do think it's funny that i think a tim curry version of this film would slay. like don't get me wrong i loved bob's proformace, it was great, but i also want a version with tim curry cos look
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the second gif is very thematic
Tumblr media
oh look it's dina from alice in wonderland
so anyway
can you tell i lreaned how gifs work
ehhehe
anyway
so theres a scene where pink is giving like a "fascist speach" to like his fans (it's complicated..... it's complicated) insead of the music concert he's giving and like all i could think about was andrew tate and taylor swift. weird i know. will i explain why eeeeeeeeh, it's hard to cos it's so abstrac and on the nose at the same time it's a really complicated explination but yea. andrew tate and taylor swft. oh and like also hitler cos thats what they were riffing off but like pop culture now wise tate and swift
theres a point when the "ghost" of pinks wife comes back to "haunt" him as a vigina monster and i thought this was the perfect moment to deepface jerma into the film as pink like look at him
Tumblr media
he'd fit
he'd be a good pink
errrrrrr what else
oh not really funny but erm yea as someone who had parents who were into pink floyd and played another brick in the wall (cos like they were in school when the song came out so yea you'd deffo like the song then), listening to it without the visual element is a diservace to the song and it's meaning and then also not having the context of the stuff in the film leading up to this point, real diservice to the song. liike people still use this song today and with good-
WTF..... WONDER WOMAN?????????
-reason cos the education system is still fucked. But. ahdn hear me out. the way it's used in the film and with it's full context, people kinda miss use it today. like errrr it's rooted in it's historical setting (it's weird saying historical cos it was like errrrrrrrrr 50 years ago which for some people really isn't that long a go and like i don't view it as that long ago, but) the culture at the time si so diffrerent to now what like it dosen't work as the same anti school vibes as now.
like i kinda stated i'm not gonna go more into that but if you wanna get the vibes for your self watch the first 28ish minuets of the film (okay thats more than i thought it was but yea,) or watch the music video, the six minuet one, this one Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2 (The Wall) - 1080p Remastered (youtube.com) 👍🏽 it's the exert from the fiml. theres some things that aren't explained by just the music video but the school bit that i'm on about mainly is
i can't remember anything else that i thought was funny so errr yea
cat break
Tumblr media
over all i'd give this a errrrrrrrrrrrr 8/10. like i think it could have benifitted from being a little less abstract butr at the same time could it really be made less abstrat? i dunno. i'd recomend if you like this sort of thing. like british music from this time, pink floyd, political peice, abstraction, that kind of thing.
Tumblr media
bye
ps you should watch foling ideas review of the nostalga critics parody of the wall, tis very good
