In general, the wall is like an extended version of the MV, full of all kinds of psychedelic elements. Those shocking images, in an incredible way, penetrate the audience's nerves and shock the audience's world. The film's extensive use of bipolar lenses and low-angle, upside-down shooting, from the very beginning, made the overall tone depressed and indifferent. What impressed me most was the accusation of the school's rigid education. Every student wore a mask and walked heavily, like a doll without a soul and a hollow, under the control of a conveyor belt, into the meat grinder. This is such a true and cruel depiction that our dreams, creativity, and potential have been thrown into ashes under the ridicule and whiplash of sanctimonious teachers again and again. Rock and roll is like a shot in the arm for a critically ill world, awakening the most primitive desire and energy in people's hearts, a spirit that can vent their dissatisfaction and be brave to be themselves. In addition, the indictment of war, the hardships and constraints of life are expressed in the form of animation, which makes the film more strange and crazy, but also makes the film more personal charm.
As a biographical film, "The Wall" selects the most important events in PINK's life: the death of his father, the education of the school, the excessive protection of his mother, the outbreak of war, and the departure of his girlfriend to sort out and describe them. The songs are blended with the plot, and these important events are connected under the cross-editing, like the climax of the music, in a cycle, until it reaches a climax that makes people bloody. In addition, the film is also interspersed with views and cognitions of modern society - the city with high-rise buildings makes people unable to breathe and escape, we are all trapped in a small space surrounded by walls, just like in Wong Kar Wai's movies. characters, alienated, indifferent, and lonely. Everyone is individual and lonely, just like PINK can only vent their dissatisfaction with wanton smashing, we are powerless. But although PINK has nothing in his hands, he still has rock, and we have nothing, but we still have faith.
I know why I'm fighting, because I'm breaking these chains, and I know why I'm screaming, because I'm going through the walls. "The Wall" reproduces the essence of PINK's album "the wall" with bizarre, unique language and shocking music.
