The guy in the room is Pink, the guy in the war is Pink's father, the scene at the end is him getting killed and being the first brick in The Wall. It's confusing at first but the more you get through, the more it makes sense. You guys are doing great!
To be more on point, its not Pink as much as its the original singer of Pink Floyd, Sid Barret, who pretty much flipped out, which prompted Roger Waters to write the movie/album.
And in the final shot as the camera pulls back you see the baby carriage (pram) which presumably Pink is in and the lady on the chase lounge is Mother
@@HBFTimmahh It's a mix of both, but the character of Pink is based more on Roger than Syd.
Gonna differ with ya. Roger did an Interview around 2015 where he laid out the album and movie were mostly based on Syd going nuts. Thats Waters saying that, not me.
@@mr.beaverchair3622
great movie
I saw it 1982 in the cinema and this movie still gives me goosebumps.
Sometimes the pictures are like punches into your pit of the stomach
Director Alan Parker was a genius. RIP Mr. Parker!
I graduated high school in 1982 and my Sociology teacher had us watch this over the course of a couple of weeks and analyze the entire movie!! What a great teacher and what a great time for great music!!
We watched it one afternoon in a church youth group meeting ….. some parents weren’t pleased LOL
@@wdrauchWow, who in the hell (literally? Hehe) authorized that?
@@MrDoctorMabuse well, let’s just say that the adults running the youth group had no idea what the Wall was about ….. and those of us teenagers that had seen it, weren’t going to say anything!
@@wdrauch I'd like to imagine Roger Waters smiling his biggest smile ever (a scary image) if he could've seen that all go down.
We listened to the album in high school Music Theory class and watched the film in a University class.
The main character is played by Bob Geldof from the Boomtown Rats. He was also well known for being a key organizer of Live Aid
Don’t forget, Geldof was also responsible for the 2005 Live 8 & getting Floyd reunited.
Fun fact: Geldof was NOT a fan of Pink Floyd and turned down the role many times before finally being talked-into doing it.
The main character sitting in the room is a rock star daydreaming about what his father must've went through during WWII. The gates being crashed open at the music drop were at a stadium where he was performing. Same character sitting in the chair as performing to the kids at his show...La nailed it scenes switching from past to current times.... you'll understand more as it progresses.
As they say, " Enjoy the Show"
The movie shifts back and forth in time as does the album. From the 40s when Pink was born during WW2, to present day. You're seeing now where all of the combat sounds are coming from when you listened to the album. Pink the main character is the troubled rock star. The guy at war is/was his father.
Yes that's Pink Floyd on the score of the film. With the exception of Bob Geldof who plays Pink who sings during that opening, and a little bit later on, all songs are performed by Roger Waters and David Gilmour.
All songs by Roger Waters excepto confortably numb and Run like hell. All lyrics by Roger Waters
@@PedroCoutinho-yf8poRoger, is that you?
Watched it tripping on many different substances many different times. 😂😂😂
RABBIT HOLE ❤
My favorite album of all time. Period.
This is a must-see movie for me of course ❤
The Wall was conceived by Pink Floyd bass player, singer, and songwriter Roger Waters as an album, live show, and movie. A lot was based on him losing his father in WW2.
The album came first. Pink Floyd (including Waters) performed the album, the subsequent live shows, and for the movie. Later, Waters performed it solo.
It’s a masterpiece ❤
Fun fact: Another Brick Part 2 was Christmas #1 here in the UK in 1979
Thanks for this reaction! I love 40's big band swing music and heavy metal!
I was 10 in 1980. As a teen in the 80's Pink Floyd was required for parking and smoking. Such good times!
You should be doing more time per view so you don't lose your flow of the story. One of the greatest stories ever told in musical form. By the most unique bands of all time.🎉🎉
Nice Christmas present for us! This is a great film, with so much symbolism and layers. The album came first btw.
From Wikipedia:
rock star Pink, who, driven to insanity by the pressures of stardom and traumatic events in his life, constructs an emotional and mental wall to protect himself. However, this coping mechanism eventually backfires, and Pink demands to be set free.
Final Scenes in this clip, P8nks father killed by bomb dropped from plane, pinks mum in the garden, and pink in the stroller. Parts with maid vacuuming and hotel room present, the kids breaking down the gate were rushing the concert and police brought into control the mob and hes comparing that to his concept of WWII and his fathers experience. The concert uniform pink is wearing and the banner behind will come back in later and be important
I couldn't believe it. In 1985 on the way back from Guantanamo Bay on the USS MT, Whitney LCC-20, this was shown on ships tv for all us sailors. Blew my mind.
When it shows Bob Geldoff as pink it is current time.
Everything in Pinks life added bricks to his "wall" .
A mental wall he built in his mind.
YES!!!!! Last time I watched I was younger than 20 yrs old..so its been over 30 yrs
Don't worry too much if you will often make great confusion (... without, first, some well-chosen reading* ...) because this was Steven Spielberg's reaction as the director of the film Alan Parker tells it ... who also gives a clear explanation:
-------------------------------
The premiere at Cannes was amazing - the midnight screening. They took down two truckloads of audio equipment from the recording studios so it would sound better than normal. It was one of the last films to be shown in the old Palais which was pretty run down and the sound was so loud it peeled the paint off the walls. It was like snow - it all started to shower down and everyone had dandruff at the end. I remember seeing Terry Semel there, who at the time was head of Warner Bros., sitting next to Steven Spielberg. They were only five rows ahead of me and I'm sure I saw Steven Spielberg mouthing to him at the end when the lights came up, 'what the fuck was that?' And Semel turned to me and then bowed respectfully.
'What the fuck was that?,' indeed. *_It was like nothing anyone had ever seen before - a weird fusion of live-action, story-telling and of the surreal_*
Alan Parker
-------------------------------
* I recommend Wikipedia both for a review of the album and for the differences in the film:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wall#Concept_and_storyline
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Floyd_-_The_Wall
And that was chapter one. The movie will make much more sense soon.
This is the first Brick in the Wall, having his father killed without ever knowing him.
Some really cool animated scenes are coming up.
Like the copulating flowers. Lol
🤠🏞️🐂
Merry Christmas you fine young Gentlemen. Hope you and your family are having a wonderful holiday.
The movie is based on the album or in conjunction with. The movie is basically a full featured music video/film of the full album. The Wall album is a whole concept story in itself, the movie just gives us the visuals of what happens in the album... This starts with Pink losing his father in war. Pink is the one in the room later in life visualizing what happened to his father and all in his life in between. The very last garden scene is his mother and himself in the baby bassinet during the time he lost his father in the war. This was essentially setting up the story for the movie.
Saw this on PBS when I was a teen. It’s my all time favorite album.
I had to watch it several times before I totally understood it. I was a teenager the first time I saw it so I missed some things. Great piece of work from a band that is still ahead of their time.
The vacuum cleaner was then currebt day (1981ish). Pink is locked in his hitel room before a concert having a mental breakdown. That was the hotel cleaning lady.
The running scenes were, as you said WWII, but being compared to kids racing into a concert to fet the best spots. Some shows were general admittance with no chairs. This was largely outlawed after fans were killed at a Who show in 1979.
Someone finally got to do this. Thank you.🤗
Back in 1979 when the album came out I would spend hours playing the record.
Fun little tid-bit: When side one of the record starts a voice says "we came in".
At the very end of side two the same voice says "This is where".
This scene talks about the hero of this film, he is sitting in a chair, and about his memories of his father, who died in the war.
He was left to be raised with his mother during difficult times. His student life is also shown, with youth movements that violate the laws of the country and are punishable by law.
I would love to see you 2 react to some of the older lo-fi 1930s, 40s music. No one else seems to do that. It's a goldmine of amazing music. Singers like Billie Holiday, Mildred Bailey, Cab Calloway, Ella Fitzgerald, Maxine Sullivan, Peggy Lee and Bing Crosby deserve some attention. The whole era seems to have been forgotten about since R&B and Rock took over.
Love this thanks guys.❤️✌️🌼
I love this! I grew up as a huge Pink Floyd fan, through my father's record collection. I saw this film the first time at age 13 and knew it was something special, even though I didn't really get it. Later in life I've watched it many times, including under the influence of mind altering substances (mushrooms, a couple times in my college years). I still think it's a misunderstood, underrated, cult classic. It wasn't given the best of reviews when released, but it's an important piece in the history of the band.
Thank you for doing this. I’ve been trying to get somebody to do this. This is my favorite movie of all time.
🤗 Been ages since I've seen The Wall. This will be fun to watch again with y'all! 🥰🐰
Can't wait for them to see Goodbye Blue Sky, Empty Spaces, Waiting For The Worms (if you know, ,you know) but I do hope they react to the omitted scene from the Movie. It's a rough cut for the song "Hey You".
Ridiculous that they cut Hey You, one of the most important songs on the album. Couldn't Alan Parker have come up with some more original visuals for it? This whole
movie should have been put in the hands of someone who was not affiliated with the main three artistes, and had an objective viewpoint. It could have been so much
better. Same with Quadrophenia, a good film but not a great one, because they cut half the goddamned album out of it. I know they can't fit it all in, but for god's sake!
@thiscorrosion900 On Quadrophenia, they could've just cut the instrumental title track and 'The Rock' and kept the rest of the album intact.
@@testicuslargus6477 I meant the movie cut a lot of those tracks from the album, and others, as well. They're not in the film.
@thiscorrosion900 That's what i also meant. They should've kept the entire album for the film and only removed the instrumental tracks 'Quadrophenia' and 'The Rock'.
@@testicuslargus6477 Right, I agree!
Concerts used to have stadium seating they would open doors and everyone would run to get best spot.
Definitely see the whole film. Everything make sense at the end.
Gentleman….Again, thank you so much for bringing me back.
Alan Parker is a genius director.
When I her the music at he beginning it reminds me of the shining
Oh yes 🙏
At my Catholic High School for my class Religion Through Popular Music our final exam was listen to The Wall and explain it in your own words. I got an A and this was before the movie came out
SO F*CKING GOOD. LOVE "THE WALL!!! Thanks soooo much. Enjoy, all.
10:40 when they have the missile sfx while the dis are running down the halls is so epic to me
The Whole Album is the story of 'PINK' the rock star from when he was a child to when he has achieved ultimate success, or in Pinks case, ultimate judgment.
I won a radio call in deal and went to a preview showing of The Wall. Like, a month or so before the theatrical release. I was blown away. Thanks, guys. Looking forward to this. I haven't seen it since that time.
Fantastic reaction! Looking forward to the rest! Some of the old music played was by British singer Vera Lynn who is referenced later in the album. As far as the story goes, they're dancing back and forth through time with flashbacks to his dad in the war, when Pink was a child, and the present. Roger was heavily involved in the production of the movie, David was considered musical director for the movie and the tour, and Pink Floyd re-recorded and remixed a lot of the music for the film.
songs from the wall were used along with songs from the final cut album
Estan viendo una pelicula que marco mi infancia y adolescencia, gracias 😢 saludos desde Chile
You're in for a great ride.
Gentlemen ENJOY THE RIDE Love the Room & Video's Keep on Keepin' On
Go guys! This is a crazy rabbit hole! It explains the context though.
Some of the songs are on a Pink Floyd album "Final Cut".
I believe you should watch straight through. He is imagining what his father went through.
This will be epic…
Keep in mind, you are entering the psychological part of Pink. How he is thinking, what is happening, what has happened, etc. You will have to sort it out. The album and tour came first.
Awesome. The first film reaction known on RUclips. Great jobs to be the first to finally react to the movie
Yeah guys, listen to the soundtrack as well. Its got new songs ghat were not written or at least not added to the 1979 album. This came out in 1982 I believe. What shall we do now would be an amazing reaction video for you guys. You will hear it later on in the movie.
Yes. The Movie IS the Album. Had you watched the movie before listening to the album (in order from 1st to last) the album would have made more sense. The movie was set in 'modern times, which in this case was 1982/3. The War is WWII where the lead dad died. Where his mother started to help him build the Wall, that is is currently living in, which is where the maid with the vacuum is at. the School scenes are his time in High School in the 50s and 60s, also filled with War for the UK.
It’s a Music Soundtrack Movie, they didn’t do Music for the Movie but the Movie for the Music… if that makes any sense ! 🤣
Thank you so much for doing this!!!!!! B❤❤Love
A flashback on his life up to that point begins, in which it is revealed that his father was killed during World War II, leaving Pink's mother to raise him alone ("The Thin Ice"). Beginning with the death of his father, Pink starts to build a metaphorical wall around himself ("Another Brick in the Wall, Part 1").
All through high-school in theb80s, this was watched on new years eve, or on in the background at least
The crowd rushing the door is a refetence to "festival Seating" whidh was the norm at 70s rock cpncerts. People would arrive hours early and when the doors opened they would rush forward to get a good spot in front of the stage-Just like an army advancing in war. The practiceof festival seating was greatly reduced after a number of fans were crushed and trampled to death at a cinncinati Who concert.
I do believe you're the first reactors to do the movie. About time too!
Hope you and yours have a very beautiful and blessed Christmas gentlemen!
Rogers Waters was a war child, I imagine that would have a baring on their life’s, They knew the way fascism worked its way into society,
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Song, “Give My Compliments to the Chef”, echoes the same message as the Wall
The 'violence' of festival seating. Back then there was no assigned seating for some concerts. The people are running to get closest to the stage. Once the doors opened, the rush was on. Sometimes people fell and were trampled. 13 people died at a Dec 3rd 1979 Who concert as a result of festival seating in Cincinnati OH.
The movie is 100% the story from the album, brought to film. It's Roger's story, based somewhat on his experiences (father died in WWII, the alienation he felt as a rockstar), and also based on Syd Barrett as well (the mental breakdown from drugs).
And the initial reveal of Pink, this happened when they were first touring in th US with Syd. Waters saw him in this zombie state, with this look in his eyes, like black holes in the sky, with the cigarette burnt.
I've seen this probably 100 times in a theater. I became unemployed and this was playing at the $1 cinema at the mall up the street so I was going 3-4 times a week. I got to know the crew and could swap a fatty for coke and a popcorn and life was pretty good.
OMG!!! I did not see that you were doing THIS!!! (until this moment heh) Holy WoW!!! Eeeeee SO freakin EXCITED my older sis took me to see this movie when i was 10 & i freakin LUVD IT!!! & course fell in Mad Love with The **Beautiful** **CutieBabe** with one of THE best "Thousand Mile Stares" Ever! **Mr Bob Geldof** ha just WoW **KickassMemories** & at the end my sis told me "Now ya gotta just pick ONE brick & ya gotta just keep staring at that ONE brick" k have not even watched the reaction yet was just so freakin YAY when i saw this...**ThankYOU** this will be the 1st time i have ever seen anyone react to it...ha k gonna go watch NOW!!! **PixieTwirlsWithDelight** WoW **YOU** have made my **New Year** **Spectacular** with THIS!!! YAY **PixieHugz&LuvzALL**
I always thought that was Pink having flashbacks about when his father was killed in WWII
I believe you’re right from reading the other comments.
It is two generations: father (Anzio WW2 1944), and son (late 1950s), plus the generation that followed (late 1970s) showing how they run and have anger and exhilaration are combatted by police. they are all human but in different contexts.
It's all back and forth, the visuals are just beginning to sync up with the story. The guy at war was his(Pink's) dad.
Coming out swinging, great choice. There's only a couple more songs left to hear before the movie Heavy Metal isn't a spoiler for you.
Waters's father, Lieutenant Eric Fletcher Waters - who died when his son was five months old - is central to Pink Floyd's The Wall, in which the disturbed protagonist, Pink, grows up longing for a father figure. "I was very angry," Waters has said about never knowing his father
The movie is based on the album
They did a “movietrack” to the album.
Hope you’ll react to the Full Movie, thanks!
This is going to be a cool little series. I just realized this is a seperate channel, so I subscribed. The algorithm did its job at suggested it to me.
I was brought up in a children's home in Liverpool, l loved this movie because at weekends my sister would watch it over and over, l remember taking the DVD back to the home so all the other kids could watch it. Needless to say after a bit it was turned off and l lost my home leave for a month. 😂😂😂❤
Also the lead actor is Bob Geldof from Boom town rats. Beautiful. Xxx
Pink is a rock star touring America he has dark fantasies witch get darker as the movie goes on use have seen the first one as the cleaner enters the room kicks one of a parody of his fans crashing a concert and his farthest final day in ww2 pink in the hotel room is the present all else happened before in his life the bricks in his wall of isolation when comfortably numb comes on it’s all the now and pinks in a bad way really enjoy your reactions boys keep up the good work 👍
At the beginning of the movie they play the song 'When The Tigers Broke Free', that song was excluded from 'The Wall' album.
"It was just before dawn,
one miserable morning in black Forty-Four."...
You guys have learned what a concept album is, now this is a concept movie. Better to think of it that way because it is all Pink Floyd through and through music sound visuals everything in one big ball.
You Cats is groovy!!! Peace from Canada. Hahaha welcome to the machine!!!
Finally someone is doing it
It is hard to get the 1st time That's why I bought the movie and watched it about 50 times so far since 1,980s It's great every time
I'm here for all of this!!!
When I have 14 . I saw this movie. I like the music, but at the end of the movie, we have the choice, but bi think he's talking about everything about society, war, separation, mental illnesses. But it has a point... That's what I thought.. bless you guys
The film is non-linear, which is not the same as a story told with flashbacks, which is still a linear story because there is a current time that the recollection of flashbacks are coming from. In a non-linear story structure, the plot/ story arc follows the theme and not the action. It can be hard to grasp at first because it's such an unconventional way of telling a story, but it's very rewarding when done right like it is in this one.
PTSD was/is not just diagnosed in those who serve in battle. The kids and yes, adults, who must wait for loved ones, or who suffered that loss, also become victims of PTSD. This is but one telling of the psychological effects of war. Many great war pictures were lauded for great action scenes. They were also huge on psychological traumas. But, the action scenes are what most remember.
Incredible concept album and movie as only Roger Water and Pink Floyd could conjure up. I look forward to the rest, enjoy Pink's tortured voyage! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Great movie! I saw it at the cinema when it came out. The back three rows was the smoking section. lol
I can’t wait until you keep going! 😊
If they didn't need education they would know its we don't need any education, glad to see you guys here at Pink Floyd, you should see your faces, mine looks like that every time they have a way of putting you in a trance
5:20 that burning cigarette as a result of a condition of stoicness is based on a real story about leaving Syd to go secretly record without him ‘oh we’re just goin out to the pub’ when they got back he had not moved an inch as evidenced by the long ash still in place
History repeats and repeats again and again when people refuse to see it.
This is a Concept Album/Movie and a first in Animated Music. This was a groundbreaking form of media at the time.
Bob Geldolf was fucking born to play the role of Pink in this film You will not be the same by the end!!
Roger Water's father was killed in the war, the first song is about that.
I must have seen this movie 50 times at least, i had the dvd, i saw it for the first time in a quadraphonic theatre in Montreal when it came out.
The WWII scene is about Pink's father dying.
Montreal ? So this is ALL because of you ?
Oh man.....enjoy the ride. 😎❤
The song t the beginning was when the tigers broke free from the next album the final cut the same song comes back in when young pink was going through the drawers of the dresser
Glad you are doing this one! I'll have to go back for your take on Tommy also.
Vacuum cleaner is seventies and present day. WWII is a flash back to his dad's death.
