Movie Reviews of Pink Floyd - The Wall 25th Anniversary (Deluxe Edition)
Movie Review: Introspection
Summary: 5 Stars
Every time I watch this movie, it feels like it encompasses a lifetime. You can't even review this movie, but because it's not. It's art. One of the best dvd's ever printed to, I will say. This film drove me to draw. I drew the dove transformation scene, i'm a musician, not a painter. Scarfe's animations are truly unparallelled, never to be reproduced again!
The film in my opinion, is at the absolute limits of western society's threshold for acceptance. This is an adult movie, no an adult experience meant to be viewed by EVERY open-minded individual on Earth. I had watched this film many years ago before I had ever experimented with anything. The movie has more depth to it every time I watch it is very profound. As far as intense movies go, this is on the far, far end of the spectrum. You must be prepared for this experience!
Also the Dolby Digital 5.1 surround mix is out of this world, just perfect.

In celebration of the quarter-century anniversary, Columbia Records is releasing a special limited edition DVD of this landmark film. Packaged in a deluxe DVD digi-pak designed to look like The Wall with debossed brick work and a clear O-card, this stunning release features a photo montage of film shots and a fold-out reproduction of the original film promotional poster. All the artwork and design for this lavish packaging has been coordinated by original Pink Floyd designers Peter Curzon and Storm Thorgerson.
By any rational measure, Alan Parker's cinematic interpretation of Pink Floyd: The Wall is a glorious failure. Glorious because its imagery is hypnotically striking, frequently resonant, and superbly photographed by the gifted cinematographer Peter Biziou. And a failure because the entire exercise is hopelessly dour, loyal to the bleak themes and psychological torment of Roger Waters's great musical opus, and yet utterly devoid of the humor that Waters certainly found in his own material. Any attempt to visualize The Wall would be fraught with artistic danger, and Parker succumbs to his own self-importance, creating a film that's as fascinating as it is flawed.
The film is, for better and worse, the fruit of three artists in conflict--Parker indulging himself, and Waters in league with designer Gerald Scarfe, whose brilliant animated sequences suggest that he should have directed and animated this film in its entirety. Fortunately, this clash of talent and ego does not prevent The Wall from being a mesmerizing film. Boomtown Rats frontman Bob Geldof (in his screen debut) is a fine choice to play Waters's alter ego--an alienated, "comfortably numb" rock star whose psychosis manifests itself as an emotional (and symbolically physical) wall between himself and the cold, cruel world. Weaving Waters's autobiographical details into his own jumbled vision, Parker ultimately fails to combine a narrative thread with experimental structure. It's a rich, bizarre, and often astonishing film that will continue to draw a following, but the real source of genius remains the music of Roger Waters. --Jeff Shannon
