Pink Floyd The Wall is an insurmountable hurdle on the road to rock and roll. I listened to the whole album a few times first and watched the movie when I felt like it so much. Western narratologists have positioned the 1960s as a watershed in sociological changes in intergenerational relations. The people before this are called the "literal generation", and the people after this are positioned as the "audio-visual generation". Music videos have been around since then as an important propaganda tool, but it's rare to make such a high-caliber movie for an album like this.
MGM is really amazing, and its ability to combine music and animation is superb (when I watched cats and mice, I was convinced by their unrestrained imagination and superb expressiveness), and the pictures and lyrics were very well matched, completely achieved. The effect of 1+1>2 (the editing of many MVs in that era was completely unintelligible), and many violent and bloody scenes were interpreted extremely shockingly through animation. I believe that people who have watched the movie will never forget the terrible Black eagles, undead on the battlefield, bloody crosses, tulips that symbolize the pain of the male and female genitals The chrysanthemum monster with a mouth full of feces that symbolizes authority, these images are not only bold and unique, but also have great visual impact. I don't know if MGM created these animated characters themselves or if they came up with the band members, all in all, the appeal of this film with almost no lines would be greatly reduced without these wonderful animations interspersed in it.
In the 1960s of the twentieth century in the United States, a combination of confusion and ideals - hippies was finally born. Many hippies come from wealthy white families who abandon wealth to feel and celebrate poverty and experience a simple and casual life. It is precisely because these rich children have enjoyed the comfortable life of the mainstream middle class that they are likely to become rebels of this comfortable but stifling creative life, and only those who have truly experienced the mainstream culture can see it. Its drawbacks, so as to criticize it. In the summer of 1967, called summer of love, "Make Love Not War" became the most appealing hippie slogan. They come from affluent middle-class families, but are willing to shout and sing for the marginalized. The movement affects bewildered young people around the world. Formed in 1965, Pink Floyd, led by Syd Barrett, has grown from a group of bourgeois, arty Cambridge students to London's underground music heroes.
In this movie, Bob Geldof is the starring role, and he interprets the man's painful and crazy life. I thought it was just the same name at first, but I didn't expect that he was really the organizer of the 1985 Live Aid. The male protagonist of the film "The Wall" is said to have been created by combining the life experiences of Roger Waters and Syd Barrett, which can be regarded as a life biography of the creator of Pink Floyd. "The Wall" in 1979 and "The Final Cut" in 1983 were the peak of the Waters era. The Wall symbolizes the high wall that each person has encountered a series of blows on the road of life, fell into great pain, and built to protect himself. This wall can be indifference, estrangement and mistrust between people, or it can be our desperate attempt to escape external pressure and build a high wall between ourselves and others where we can breathe. The whole film is very depressing, so I understand that many people don't like it, and it's really difficult for people who live happily to understand the deep pain that they can't get rid of and can't get rid of. Evaluation. War, death, betrayal, sexuality, stereotyped upbringing, mother's spoiling, it all turned into a high wall that keeps us as we really are.
Like a lot of people, my favorites on this album are "Another Brick In The Wall pt. 2" and "Comfortably Numb", and I got goosebumps when "Hello" came out. "Another Brick In The Wall pt. 2" (a rebellious girl sang this song at the Berlin concert, very cute, the audience in the audience basically had a mask) really sang into my heart, the students entered the conveyor belt, a All of them put on masks and eventually grew into identical people. One by one, they jumped into the meat grinder and were minced into meat sauce. Then the scene changed, and the angry students shredded everything and burned it. When I was changing careers, I seriously considered becoming a teacher in the past. In any way, a teacher is a very good career, but as I grew up with a cramming education, I hated it from the bottom of my heart. I dare to think that I will yell and scold the children to force the children to do their homework, get high marks in the exam, write a typo a hundred times, and even I don’t approve of it, how can I do it well? I am afraid to see the angry eyes of small children. I thought that after so many years, the way of education should have been greatly improved, but the burden on children has become heavier and heavier now. "The Wall" was recorded in 1979 and made into a movie in 1982. 40 years later, the world has not gotten better, our society has intensified its persecution of children. Although it is said that each generation of young people has their troubles, the span of this trouble is too long, and there is no hope of change in our generation.
The next "Mother" and "Young Lust" are very controversial so far. If these are two Chinese songs, the popularity of Weibo will be skyrocketing. There were indeed a lot of rock bands in that era that were misogynistic, and there were a lot of bands in their little yellow songs that had a lot of lyrics that objectified women. Many people say that watching this episode casts a psychological shadow on women. In fact, this is the real meaning of these songs. In the past two years, we began to criticize our original family and reflect on the current marriage system. Rock bands have sung it all over the world for a long time.
"The Trial" is one of my favorites, not only because the animation is very good-looking, but also because this narrative opera singing is very rare in rock music, and you can make up 10,000 words just by listening to the song before watching the movie. Finally, in the roar of "Tear down the wall!", the wall collapses, and outside the wall is a world of peace and tranquility.
We have carried out various interpretations of great works, and found some of them who felt the same way and shed tears, although some people said, "I don't understand what this film is about at all, and I didn't watch it if I knew it was a super long MV. "But that's what art works like this are all about. A good work is like a mirror. Let's use this as a clue to interpret our own life and sing it to people who can understand you and pay attention to you, without caring about those who oppose it." voice, sing for the suffering and a better tomorrow.
