This is why I implore people to listen to the album "The Wall" first before approaching the film. The Wall is a musical experience *first* and foremost. The film, adapted from the album some years later, in many ways takes you out of that experience and distracts you from the music because there's so much going on. Always always do the studio version of Pink Floyd first.

[@Arturo.H.M]

It's a crimen to no listen Pink Floyd LP's in one from beginning to end (at least from Atom heart mother). And yes, it's mandatory to know the double álbum, before to watch the movie.

[@rlwetz4317]

I agree, and then I prescribe an unhealthy dose of Syd Barrett. If "Jugband Blues," "Dark Globe" and "Vegetable Man" ain't Wall...well, let's don't kid ourselves. Best post-Wall decompression is to turn out the lights, fire up the blacklights and glow sticks, and crank "Terrapin." The Pink Floyd DNA is right there, in its primordial ooze of submarine Hawaiian psychedelic pop dripping off Syd's Interstellar-weary Telecaster. It's bloom back to seed, cap back to spore. IMO, you can't completely appreciate how Roger waits for the worms until your hair's on end about Syd. 😉

So much visual and background sound happening in the film version that that you barely notice one of the greatest guitar solos in rock history.

@@yeovil07 You mentioned the only thing. That i didn’t like about that movie.

[@lubos1207]

I'd just like to clarify a few things and set the record straight: 1/ This is not a music video, but an excerpt from a feature film (with Bob Geldof as Pink) that was made later (1982) than the album (1979). 2/ Waters wrote this song as a not-so-good memory of the 1950s when he was in school. In the UK, 19th century school laws were in force then, so physical beatings of pupils, for example, were not uncommon. On the other hand, in the early 1960s there was a big wave of reorganisation of British education and many new secondary schools and colleges were being set up. These not only provided pupils with a solid education but also strongly encouraged extra-curricular activities. This, incidentally, also allowed new bands to emerge - including Pink Floyd (all members are Cambridge graduates).

I recall a married couple I knew in Virginia which immigrated from England. Their daughter in high school in the 1980s became a cheerleader and was active in band and clubs. Her parentts, products of that same school system edepicted in the video, could not comprehend why she would want to have anything to do with school after the final bell. But the daughter got them to attend some sporting events, concerts and experience school spirit. It was a whole new world to them and they really got into all that they had missed in their emotionless, creatively stifled school experience.

[@sheldondyck8631]

I still remember the strap being used in school in the mid 80s. One of my friends was punished that way when he made fun of the principals name. I can still remember him crying while getting beat. The whole school heard it. His mom (good on her) got the principal fired for child abuse.

[@DeAnne1233]

Also would like to point out that this video isn’t epically long. It’s six minutes, the average is four (3-5). Shorter than a commercial break these days, which is why I’m beginning to feel that they (Reactors) are receiving these suggestions in a ‘oh that’s a cool superbowl half-time commercial’ type of format with no interest in expanding on their own. Takes them years to hear a full album, one song every few months. But I’ve yet to see them even one time decide on their own to listen to another song until it comes up in the cue to do list. I heard Back In Black as a child and stayed in that room until I’d rocked out with every song on the album multiple times (play it again, play it again, play it again, and Oh if they have more, play me more and more and more until I find my favorites of of this album then I can move on to the next. This generation plans an entire day to sit down and watch a four minute video while they talk instead of listen and then poof out of existence until the following day’s 3 minutes of school with no homework because we’re doing all the heavy lifting for them.

We loved singing for our teachers to leave us alone. It was fun being 9 years old and beginning to find music with the inability to go deep.

The Wall is the eleventh studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 30 November 1979 by Harvest/EMI and Columbia/CBS Records. It is a rock opera about Pink, a jaded rock star who constructs a psychological "wall" of social isolation. The album was a commercial success, topping the US charts for 15 weeks and reaching number three in the UK. It initially received mixed reviews from critics, many of whom found it overblown and pretentious, but later received accolades as one of the greatest albums of all time.

I am 60 years old and I remember when this song first came out, i was a student at my secondary school here in England and Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall became an anthem for us School Children around the United Kingdom. It became our anti establishment and our feelings against teachers in our day. At Schools here in the UK but as i am English and I come from England I can only talk about how us kids were treated by teachers and the School Authorities. We had canes which were used to discipline a child weather Male or Female on there naked bottoms or across the hand. I had a Female teacher at the age of 6 who hated me as I came from a poor family, where my dad worked very hard to put a roof over our heads, food in our stomach's and warmth in the cold. Ever since then I didn't like women and I had a hatred like many of us against teachers and headmasters. Actually School scared many of us for life due to our experiences, then Pink Floyd came out with this song that not only made a huge mark on us kids but there was actual adults that knew what we were going through. 💂‍♂️💂‍♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

This is actually an excerpt from the Alan Parker movie made 3 years after the album came out. You can't listen to this actually out of concept. It is part of a whole rock opera called The Wall. The single bricks are the negative experiences the protagonist Pink (played by Sir Bob Geldof in the movie) with which he builds up a wall around his mind to protect and shield himself from reality. The story is part semi-autographic of composer Roger Waters (his childhood) but also memories of Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett (the adult Pink) and his psychosis woven in. You reall should listen to the whole album in a row and then watch the movie. The album is much more encryptic and mystic while the movie is more straight forward (well compared to the album, definitely not other movies :D) and psychedelic.

My 10th birthday, 22nd December 1979, coincided with this being at #1 in the UK. A teacher in my middle school assembly got sacked for using this song as part of a class production. It's message wasn't lost on the headteacher!! The hit single component 'Another brick in the wall (part 2) begins at 5:30 of your video

How could anyone not have heard this song? It was played relentlessly on the radio, but the version from the album, not this feature film cut. And listen to the album. It's one of the best concept albums. Without the context of the album in its entirety, it's easy to misunderstand what the songs are about.

This tune got the most radio love than any other track. I'm sure you've been told to watch the movie a hundred times by now. Do it, you won't regret it. The children are being turned into bricks to build the wall.
