The Wall is a concept album. It’s meant to be listened to from start to finish. It’s all connected to tell the whole story of his life.

[@EJ-tm1fe]

True, but at the same time, musically, each song on the album can be listened to individually and enjoyed on its own merit.

[@tatiana11158]

Best is to watch the movie so you’ll have the visual of the concepts of each song! Why nobody does reactions to the movie is beyond me! Kinda missing the whole experience by skipping the movie!

The Wall is a Pink Floyd Movie, do some research first, then you wont sound so stupid.

Pink Floyd is timeless. Defintely need to explore more Pink Floyd. The musicianship and the lyrics and the message is powerful. Even a song like Great Gig in the Sky which doesn't exactly have "lyrics" but has killer vocals is so powerful. Pink Floyd will always give me goosebumps.

[@stanlibuda5786]

Well, I don’t think so. The school system makes a student build more bricks for the wall in his mind. That is then "another brick in the wall". First his mother, then the teachers, then his girlfriend and so on. To make out of the pupils "mindless slaves" is just a "side effect", if I understood Roger Waters correctly.

[@guardian35]

A lot of people misinterpret this song as anti-school and anti-education because they are taking it out of context with the rest of "The Wall". In this case, bitter and spiteful teachers(🎶"...there were certain teachers..."🎶) are disenchanting the students to education and making them rebel against the entire institution because these few bad teachers make them FEEL like they are going through a grinder instead of fostering their creativity. This has tragic consequences later in the album/movie when these uneducated youth get radicalized by mob mentality because they don't know any better. They never learned their history so now they begin to repeat it. They get swept up in tribalistic fervor and become neo-nazi's and fascists in the songs "In the Flesh" and "Run Like Hell". The album in general is not about him being a brick in the wall. The bricks are his traumatic experiences. This violently critical teacher becomes another brick in wall of his mind. A wall built to isolate him from any feelings or connections with others. The world can't hurt him anymore if he walls himself up from the rest of the world. I still get chills by the end of the album when they chant, 🎶"Tear Down the Wall!" because that is no way to live. It really is an amazing movie that needs to be watched several times.

[@sargeteg5927]

It's so good to see someone with a more nuanced take of that song so thank you for taking the time for that. It's tiring to see all these lazy "indoctrination" comments in every video of that song.

The "poem" is from an earlier previous album, "The Dark Side of the Moon", to this day, one of the best albums. Ever. Give it a try. Look at Supertramp "Crime of the Century" too, especially, "School."

[@therealtorsteph22]

The "Poem" is the song "Money" isn't it?

[@raenellefisher8514]

This is taken from the movie, The Wall. Pink Floyd's basic topic, IMO, was mental illness. The walls start being built in childhood. Here, they comment on the effect of bad teachers. The poem is in their song Money.

[@MissRockabellaHart]

It's very much an allegory for mental health and how trauma compiles and corrupts.

[@therealtorsteph22]

I thought the topic was mind control to prepare the kids for war....hmmm?

[@MissRockabellaHart]

@@therealtorsteph22 that's the overall surface level theme of "The Wall" but the overall message is more about the damages conformity causes the mind in general.

[@hihoktf]

The context for The Wall is not that the school kids are bricks. It's that the school system supplied "bricks" for the isolating "wall" that 'Pink' was constructing around himself. If you only see this video, it's hard to make that connection. This is just one chapter in the story.

The wall they are talking about is not a physical one, but the emotional one that we build around ourselves as we grow to protect ourselves

[@adriennerobinson8984]

This was from the 1982 film "Pink Floyd: The Wall" a rock musical which was based on the band's album of the same title. The movie mainly has musical numbers of songs from the album and doesn't have a lot of speaking parts. This scene with the factory, masks and destroying the school was all in the boy's mind, it wasn't real. The kids did not kill the teacher since it was all in his head. The story can be hard to understand at times so you would have to follow almost every detail in the movie to really get what's going on. Good reaction.

[@scottdarden5808]

Have you heard Pink Floyd's song, Money? In the beginning that is the lyrics in Money that the teacher is reading.

[@tonybowshersr5468]

Isn't it amazing how Pink Floyd saw the indoctrination back in 70's. Yal should listen to the entire album in song order. The album is a story.

[@michaelfarmer6877]

The album "The Wall" is a concept album , and they also made a movie from the content. If you watch the movie, and check up on what the story is about , it's actually really good. It was made in the early 80's. If you watch the movie really pay close attention to his story to follow it.

It's why the arts in education are so so so important.

[@thepragmatic6383]

In fact, this song does not really condemn education in general, if it's well done. What it condemns, is the way of educating children without considering their own personality, their natural strengths, or the artistic side of certain children. Compliance and discipline at the cost of student real development.

Love a good Floyd reaction. School is just another 'Brick in the Wall' that isolates Pink from the rest of society. Other bricks in that wall of alienation are an overbearing mother, the death of his father, the war, rock stardom and drugs.

[@allbies]

Interesting. I always took it that we as the ordinary people were just another brick in the wall. To be built up and knocked down by the powers that be whenever it suits.

[@steveparker8065]

@@allbies The song can of course be interpreted that way singularly. We are essentially bricks being churned out by society, schooling. But the film 'The Wall' is about Pink's struggle with isolation and alienation. The song 'Mother' shows an overbearing, controlling figure for example. 'Thin ice' I would think was a reference to the precarious nature of society. The Wall as a whole album is supposedly about the self-isolating barrier we put up against the world. The bricks being the things and people that influence us along the way. At least that's the interpretation I've read most often.

SO MUCH for listening to the music!

[@reha1066]

Actually I think the boy was day dreaming about what he wanted to do (tear down the school). And at the end, it is that same boy grown up and he is messed up for life. The trauma of the school was just one brick in the wall that caused him to close up and build a wall around him. His co-dependent life with his mother was another brick that closed him in etc. All these horrible life events caused him mental illness. ( Just my own interpretation). You really should listen and watch the whole album in order. It is absolutely amazing. You will never forget it.

[@theNOVEMBERman1116]

Pink floyd is a great band to dive into. Comfortably numb is another great song by them and the live version(pulse concert)is like a nice exciting ride. You'll have to listen to the wall album to understand the story

The Wall is a soundtrack to the movie The Wall. Check out the movie.

[@jefflast9489]

The album is a composit of the life story of a guy who's father is killed in WWII. He is raised by his mother and struggles to find his dentity. He develops mental health issues as he struggles with substance abuse and self imposed isolation. His mom is overprotective and he learns to build "mental walls" to isolate himself from feeling emotional pain, but he also cuts himself off from love. There's a lot more to it, but thats the jist.

[@timhays2086]

Thsi song was made as an protest/anthem for kids. The complaint was that schools were like factories. Just churning out kids with little to no interest into their individuality. The result was a sick society. The Brick in the Wall is a reference to the wall you build around yourself to protect yourself. If you watch the move The Wall, it has the music from the album The Wall and it illustrates a story about a how a man comes to survive dealing with all the personal attacks from every aspect of his life. School is just one part.

[@johntremmel3949]

The poem was actually the song “money” off dark side of the moon

[@tinaprice3497]

This whole album was a representation of what he went through with the war when he was younger and in UK/England/Great Britain. This was how it was back in the day. The whole album is amazing and the movie is too. You've got to understand the way it was back then, by this song, to watch the movie. But this is how it was back then. Holocaust and just, like you said, a number. Not a person. A number.

[@SneakySolidSnake]

there is a main story to the album. iirc, it's about a fictional person, named pink, which is based on the band members' shared experiences. the overarching story is about the boy building a mental wall of isolation, which separates him from the stimulus of the world around him. making him cold, unfeeling, and extremely depressed as he grows into manhood. the bricks are metaphorical, and function as the reasons why he is building the wall. every time he is hurt emotionally or physically, another metaphorical brick is added to the wall separating him from the pain and pleasures of life. when the wall is complete, what you have is basically a sociopath.

No, many of the commenters are missing the whole metaphor of the Wall. You have listen to the whole album. What is happening to the protagonist ("Pink" in the movie) is that each traumatic event in his life creates another brick in the wall he builds around his mind. To manage his pain and suffering, he walls himself off from the world, from feeling, from caring, from anything that would potentially hurt him.

The Wall was a whole movie, this is one of the scenes from it...In Victoria Australia Recently, a school made all the young boys stand up and apologize to the girls for things that they have never done and to say sorry for being boys....it has reached a point that even saying hello to a girl without consent is considered an offence and retrospective laws, means that if you pull a girls pony tail when you were five,you can be jailed for it when you are 55 .....yep.....thats not where we are headed,....it's where we now are....in fact many people are trying their hardest to get their boys away from girls and put them in boys only schools....the boys are not the bricks,...sadly they are the mortar that is being crushed and squeezed by them.

Couple of things guys... The uprising was just in "Pinks" imagination. That's why it cuts back to him still at his desk afterwards. The kids aren't "the bricks".

So to protect himself from the pain each of these events, like the death of his farther, form the bricks that leave him mentally isolated and disturbed.

The poem is actually a verse from the Pink Floyd song 'Money' The riot in the school was just Pink imagining it after getting his knuckles rapped with the ruler. The phone ringing has nothing to do with this song. is the beginning of another scene in the film. - Pink as an adult trying to ring home and talk to his wife, he is in a hotel room on tour with his band.

To your point regarding education- my family are Irish and some lived in England in the 1950s- postwar. My Grandmother saw a teacher literally throw a student out of an open window. My Mom was locked in a closet for 4 hours, was thrown down a flight of stairs, and had her head cracked against the blackboard (which broke), all done by teachers at the school. My Uncle got into a fight with another student and the teacher brought them down to the basement and made them fight each other until one passed out- all thanks to Catholic schools and all of this done by nuns and priests. The system in England was slightly different but they used the same methods.

these guys knew! They knew! They REALLY KNEW! They were ahead of our time trying to disclose what are world was really about. We get distracted by things that don’t even matter, they divide and keep us distracted on purpose!

The video is from the animation-drama-music movie The Wall based on the concept album The Wall, by Pink Floyd. So has a story behind.

The young man's poem is the lyrics from another Pink Floyd song

Pink Floyd is my favorite. Saw them in concert back in 1989 and it was raining. Perfect.

Their best performance is Comfortably Numb live at Pulse. Pink Floyd is an experience! I listen to it with my medical cannabis 😃

This is what schools were like in Britain back in the 1950s and 1960s. I went to a rough school in a working class area in the 1960s and 70s and even that school was like the one in the video. We were hit by every teacher and caned by the Head Master.
