On Pink Freud and Freud

The first time I heard the band's name, I remembered it deeply. Because it contains the words "Freud", I like psychology, so I deeply remember this awesome band.
From the very beginning, this film shows its alternative. The film was shot in the 1980s. It can be said to be a landmark film. It is avant-garde and expresses various rock and roll spirits, reflecting how different the positioning of rock is.
Why is the word "Freud" mentioned here?
That's because the creation of the protagonist's spiritual world comes from the influence of his childhood, which creates his later personality.
Psychologist Freud's books express this view: the development of personality in childhood has a profound impact on adult personality, and even life.
Especially the male protagonist's fear and even disgust for women.
The cry of a face emerging from the wall reminded me of Mr. Lu Xun's "The Scream".
This is an autobiography of the band, or an interpretation of the music album "the Wall".
Anti-war, anti-industrial, anti-assimilation.
It turned out that rock and roll smashed everything because of these.
Break through the iron cage that binds us, shout again and again.

This excavation of human nature is the core idea expressed by this film.

Pink Floyd: The Wall quotes

  • Pink: [singing] We don't need no education. We don't need no thought control. No dark sarcasm in the classroom. Teacher, leave them kids alone. Hey, teachers, leave them kids alone! All in all, it's just another brick in the wall. All in all, you're just another brick in the wall.

  • Pink: [singing] I don't need no arms around me. And I don't need no drugs to calm me. I have seen the writing on the wall. Don't think I need anything at all. No! Don't think I'll need anything at all. All at all, it was all just bricks in the wall. All in all, you were all just bricks in the wall.
