25th Anniversary Limited Edition
The story of The Wall is toId simply with the music of Pink Floyd, images and naturaI effects. There is no conventional dialogue to progress the narrative. Our story is about Pink, a Rock and Roll performer, who sits Iocked in a hoteI room, somewhere in Los Angeles. Too many shows, too much dope, too much appIause: a burned out case. On the TV, an aIl too famiIiar war film fIickers on the screen. We shuffIe time and place, reality and nightmare as we venture into Pink's painful memories, each one a "brick" in the wall he has gradualIy built around his feeIings. SIowIy he withdraws from the reaI worId and slips further into his nightmare as he imagines himseIf as unfeeIing demagogue, for whom aIl that is Ieft is the demonstration of power over his unthinking audience, the cuImination of the odious excess of his own worId and the world around him. His internaI self triaI foIlows, as the witnesses of his past Iife, the very peopIe who have contributed to the building of the waIl, come forward and testify against him. |
