We were 16. This movie came out, and I don't remember how it came to be, but this was my first date with a girl down the road from me, We lived in the sticks outside a small town, our families were very familiar with each other, and she was close in age to me, but just enough to be in different classes. One our parents dropped us off at the theater, and we saw this movie. It was incredibly profound for those our age. But anyhow, we then walked a couple blocks to a local pizza shop and had a late dinner just the two of us. We probably should have married but we went in such opposite directions in life. The original radio version of this didn't have all the extra voices until the very end, so we were very shocked by what the movie had for this song. Then 16 years ago, I was on my last six month deployment in the Navy in the Arabian Gulf. We had a pickup cover band form. The original two did this thing where they played Another Brick in the Wall parts 1, 2 and 3 in sequence with really cool transitions.

The Wall's a pretty fascinating and frequently horrifying look at fear, abuse, neglect, and isolation. What gets me is when you look at it from a current perspective it becomes kind of a window on how the disenfranchised and downtrodden can (and have) become radicalized. It's not a pretty view by anybody's measure, but it's poignant as hell.

That blew your mind! Hey, we had so much mind blowing music, no wonder we are all so far out! LOL I saw Pink Floyd sing that live in concert when I was about 16 back in Pittsburgh, PA, in concert at Three Rivers Stadium in the late '1970's. Very cool, man. Pink Floyd sold out and they packed that stadium and we all had a real good time! They even had their laser show going on. I never saw that crazy video before. So weird! LOL!! Hey, man, not every kid got a trophy back then, to say the least. We were expected to behave or we got the paddle in school. Yep, they beat us. Hey, now you understand why your elders are so cool. We have seen it all, man. Thanks for your reaction and for showing that old fashioned video of the old days. I LOVED how you said " IT WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN"! Yes is was, which is why we all rebelled. Pink Floyd were about 20 years older than me or more, but it rang true, man.

Jamel, there were lots of couples like this in the 50s, so spiteful to kids as their own lives were unhappy, and kids thought I am not going to be like that and so came the swinging 60s. The kids who sang on the record were from Islington green school, which was in the street were I lived, and where my son went to school. He was so disappointed he was too young to be involved. Pink Floyd stored their equipment 2 streets away from were I lived and I never met them. I do remember we got fed up with their stuff blocking the road. Lol. Happy days.

@Serai33 жыл бұрын
This is a clip from the film of Pink Floyd's album, "The Wall". It's their big rock opera, about the life of rock star Pink Floyd, who goes through some shit. This part of the film takes place in the 50's, when Britain was struggling after WW2. (The shot of the train with the hands reaching was a nightmare image from the war, of people being transported to concentration camps.) LOTS of kids lost their fathers in that war; a whole generation was scarred for decades by it. And those schools were brutal, yeah. (A lot of this album was autobiographical, from Roger Waters's life.) I recommend you sit down and watch the whole film sometime. It really is very good, starring Bob Geldof of the Boomtown Rats, with some surreal animation work by Gerald Scarfe.

The movie had its problems, especially an overly indulgent Alan Parker (see Tommy: The Movie for similar failure by a director). It is interesting if you enjoy dark, nightmarish imagery; and is largely faithful to the original album, which tells the story much better, but this film seems to this observer as more an extra-long music video than a movie.
@ArkansasPilgrim3 жыл бұрын
@@stantheman9072 I think you nailed it. It is like a long music video, but I think that's what it's supposed to be. I think the film matches the album, though, in dark, nightmarish imagery. It's a dark album. Examples: "Don't be surpised when a crack in the ice appears under your feet. You slip out of your depth, and out of your mind, with your fear flowing out behind you, as you claw the thin ice." The album starts with this (I know - 2nd song, but close enough). "Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true. Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you." "Hey you! Out there beyond the wall ,breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me?!"

In the1970’s, in my part of northern England, school lunches were referred to as ‘school dinners’ and pudding was a generic term for dessert, although not all puddings were actually ’puddings’. The threat of denial of pudding as an incentive to finish the main course was not uncommon, however in the case of Tapioca pudding it was not really a punishment, more an act of mercy.🤮
