The film centers around a confined rocker named Pink, who, after being driven into insanity by the death of his father and many depressive moments during his lifetime, constructs a metaphorical (and sometimes physical) wall to be protected from the world and emotional situations around him. When this coping mechanism backfires he puts himself on trial and sets himself free. The screenplay was written by Pink Floyd vocalist and bassist. Like its musical companion, the film is highly, and symbolic imagery and sound are present most commonly. However, the film is mostly driven by music, and does not feature much.
Gerald Scarfe drew and animated 15 minutes of animated sequences, which appear at several points in the film. It was the seventh animated feature to be presented in. The film is best known for its disturbing, animated sequences, sexual situations, violence and gore.

See also: Concept In the mid-1970s, as Pink Floyd gained mainstream fame, Waters began feeling increasingly alienated from their audiences: Audiences at those vast concerts are there for an excitement which, I think, has to do with the love of success. When a band or a person becomes an idol, it can have to do with the success that that person manifests, not the quality of work he produces. You don't become a fanatic because somebody's work is good, you become a fanatic to be touched vicariously by their glamour and fame.
Stars—film stars, rock 'n' roll stars—represent, in myth anyway, the life as we'd all like to live it. They seem at the very centre of life.
And that's why audiences still spend large sums of money at concerts where they are a long, long way from the stage, where they are often very uncomfortable, and where the sound is often very bad. Waters was also dismayed by the 'executive approach', which was only about success, not even attempting to get acquainted with the actual persons of whom the band was comprised (addressed in an earlier song from, '). The concept of the wall, along with the decision to name the lead character 'Pink', partly grew out of that approach, combined with the issue of the growing alienation between the band and their fans. This symbolised a new era for rock bands, as Pink Floyd 'explored (. ) the hard realities of 'being where we are', drawing upon, namely. Development. The iconic 'marching hammers' Even before the original Pink Floyd album was recorded, a film was intended to be made from it.
However, the concept of the film was intended to be live footage from the, with Scarfe's animation and extra scenes. The film was going to star Waters himself. Did not intend to make the film, as they did not understand the concept. Director Alan Parker, a Pink Floyd fan, asked EMI whether The Wall could be. EMI suggested that Parker talk to Waters, who had asked Parker to direct the film.
Parker instead suggested that he produce it and give the directing task to Gerald Scarfe and, a cinematographer. Waters began work on the film's screenplay after studying scriptwriting books. He and Scarfe produced a special-edition book containing the screenplay and art to pitch the project to investors. While the book depicted Waters in the role of Pink, after screen tests, he was removed from the starring role and replaced with musician and frontman of the, Bob Geldof. In, both Waters and Geldof later admitted to a story during casting where Geldof and his manager took a taxi to an airport, and Geldof's manager pitched the role to the singer, who continued to reject the offer and express his contempt for the project throughout the fare, unaware that the taxi driver was Waters' brother, who promptly proceeded to tell Waters about Geldof's opinion. Since Waters was no longer in the starring role, it no longer made sense for the feature to include Pink Floyd footage, so the live film aspect was dropped. The footage culled from the five Wall concerts at from 13–17 June 1981 that were held specifically for filming was deemed unusable also for technical reasons as the fast lenses needed for the low light levels turned out to have insufficient resolution for the movie screen.
Complex parts such as ' still had not been properly shot by the end of the live shows. Parker also managed to convince Waters and Scarfe that the concert footage was too theatrical and that it would jar with the animation and stage live action. After the concert footage was dropped, Seresin left the project and Parker became the only director connected to The Wall.
One of the masks worn by children in the classroom scenes; displayed at the exhibition Parker, Waters and Scarfe frequently clashed with each other during production, to the point where the director described the filming as 'one of the most miserable experiences of my creative life.' Scarfe declared that he would drive to carrying a bottle of, because 'I had to have a slug before I went in the morning, because I knew what was coming up, and I knew I had to fortify myself in some way.' During production, while filming the destruction of a hotel room, Geldof suffered a cut to his hand as he pulled away the Venetian blinds. The footage remains in the film. Also, it was discovered while filming the pool scenes that Geldof did not know how to swim. Interiors were shot at, and it was suggested that they suspend Geldof in 's clear cast used for the flying sequences, but his frame was too small by comparison; it was then decided to make a smaller rig that was a more acceptable fit, and he simply lay on his back.

The war scenes were shot on Saunton Sands in North Devon, which was also featured on the cover of Pink Floyd's six years later. Release The film was shown 'out of competition' during the.
The premiere at Cannes was amazing – the midnight screening. They took down two truckloads of audio equipment from the recording studios so it would sound better than normal. It was one of the last films to be shown in the old Palais which was pretty run down and the sound was so loud it peeled the paint off the walls.
It was like snow – it all started to shower down and everyone had dandruff at the end. I remember seeing there, who at the time was head of, sitting next to.
They were only five rows ahead of me and I'm sure I saw Steven Spielberg mouthing to him at the end when the lights came up, 'what the fuck was that?' And Semel turned to me and then bowed respectfully. 'What the fuck was that?,' indeed. It was like nothing anyone had ever seen before – a weird fusion of live-action, story-telling and of the surreal. The film's official was at the in London, on 14 July 1982. It was attended by Waters and fellow Pink Floyd members and, but not, who was no longer a member of the band. It was also attended by various celebrities including Geldof, Scarfe,.
Box office and critical reception. So it's difficult, painful and despairing, and its three most important artists came away from it with bad feelings. Why would anybody want to see it? Perhaps because filming this material could not possibly have been a happy experience for anyone—not if it's taken seriously.
The film opened with a on 6 August 1982 and entered at No. 28 of the US box office charts despite only playing in one theatre on its first weekend, grossing over $68,000, a rare feat even by today's standards. The film then spent just over a month below the top 20 while still in the top 30. The film later expanded to over 600 theatres on 10 September, achieving No. 3 at the box office charts, below,. The film eventually earned $22 million before closing in early 1983.
The film received generally positive reviews. Reviewing The Wall on their television programme in 1982, film critics and gave the film 'two thumbs up'. Ebert described The Wall as 'a stunning vision of self-destruction' and 'one of the most horrifying musicals of all time. But the movie is effective. The music is strong and true, the images are like sledge hammers, and for once, the rock and roll hero isn't just a spoiled narcissist, but a real, suffering image of all the despair of this nuclear age. This is a real good movie.' Siskel was more reserved in his judgement, stating that he felt that the film's imagery was too repetitive.
However, he admitted that the 'central image' of the fascist rally sequence 'will stay with me for an awful long time.' In February 2010, Roger Ebert added The Wall to his list of 'Great Movies,' describing the film as 'without question the best of all serious fiction films devoted to rock. Seeing it now in more timid times, it looks more daring than it did in 1982, when I saw it at Cannes.
It's disquieting and depressing and very good.' It was chosen for the opening night of 2010.
Currently ranks the film with a critics' review rating of 73% (based on 22 reviews). Wrote that the 'picture is unrelentingly downbeat and at times repulsive. But I don't find it unwatchable – which is more than I could say if had directed this. The cinematography by is extremely impressive and a few of the individual scenes have undeniable power.' Waters has expressed deep reservations about the film, saying that the filming had been 'a very unnerving and unpleasant experience. We all fell out in a big way.' As for the film itself, he said: 'I found it was so unremitting in its onslaught upon the senses, that it didn't give me, anyway, as an audience, a chance to get involved with it,' although he had nothing but praise for Geldof's performance.
David Gilmour stated (on the ' episodes of The Wall, A Momentary Lapse of Reason and ) that the conflict between him and Waters started with the making of the film. Gilmour also stated on the documentary Behind The Wall (which was aired on the in the UK and in the US) that 'the movie was the less successful telling of The Wall story as opposed to the album and concert versions.' Although the symbol of the crossed hammers used in the film was not related to any real racist group, it was adopted by white supremacist group the in the late 1980s.
It earned its creators two British Academy Awards; 'Best Sound' for, Eddy Joseph, Clive Winter, Graham Hartstone & Nicholas Le Messurier; and 'Best Original Song' for Waters.
