Edit Cast Complete credited cast: Edit Details Official Sites: Official Site Official Site [Japan]. Edit Did You Know? Goofs Early in the movie when Issac is removing blocks from the wall to make an opening to look through with his scope, the blocks fall and crush his hand, specifically his right index, or "trigger finger". That finger is shown bloody and misshapen, possibly broken, for a vast majority of the remainder of the movie. At the end, he is able to make a shot at the enemy sniper using that same finger and it is shown to be uninjured.
Precise trigger control is critically important to making accurate shots, particularly for a sniper.
Making a long range shot like that with an injured or broken finger is highly unlikely. 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. Even before the original Pink Floyd album was recorded, a film was intended to be made from it.
Quotes [ first lines ] Pink: This gave the engineers greater flexibility, [nb 2] but also improved the audio quality of the final mix as the original track drum recordings were finally synced to the track master, and the duplicated guide tracks removed. 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 Wish You Were Here , " Have a Cigar ". Retrieved November 30, Bassist and songwriter Roger Waters recalled: Pinkerton Pink's Father Eleanor David
Parker instead suggested that he produce it and give the directing task to Gerald Scarfe and Michael Seresin , a cinematographer. 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 [11] and replaced with punk musician and frontman of the Boomtown Rats , Bob Geldof.
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. Complex parts such as " Hey You " still had not been properly shot by the end of the live shows. After the concert footage was dropped, Seresin left the project and Parker became the only director connected to The Wall. 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.
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 Pinewood Studios , and it was suggested that they suspend Geldof in Christopher Reeve 's clear cast used for the Superman 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 film was shown "out of competition" during the Cannes Film Festival.
The film opened with a limited release on 6 August and entered at No. The film then spent just over a month below the top 20 while still in the top The film later expanded to over theatres on 10 September, achieving No. The film received generally positive reviews. Ebert described The Wall as "a stunning vision of self-destruction" and "one of the most horrifying musicals of all time 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. However, he admitted that the "central image" of the fascist rally sequence "will stay with me for an awful long time. Seeing it now in more timid times, it looks more daring than it did in , when I saw it at Cannes It's disquieting and depressing and very good. It was chosen for the opening night of Ebertfest Danny Peary wrote that the "picture is unrelentingly downbeat and at times repulsive The cinematography by Peter Biziou is extremely impressive and a few of the individual scenes have undeniable power.
It has been suggested that the protagonist stands in some way for Waters.
Beyond the obvious parallel of them both being rock stars, Waters lost his father while he was an infant and had marital problems, divorcing several times. Romelo and Cabo place the Nazism and imperialism related symbols in the context of Margaret Thatcher 's government and British foreign policy especially concerning the Falklands issue. A second documentary about the film was produced in entitled Retrospective that includes interviews with Waters, Parker, Scarfe, and other members of the film's production team.
The film soundtrack contains most songs from the album, albeit with several changes, as well as additional material see table below. A soundtrack album from Columbia Records was listed in the film's end credits, but only a single containing "When the Tigers Broke Free" and the rerecorded "Bring the Boys Back Home" was released. Guitarist David Gilmour, however, dismissed the album as a collection of songs that had been rejected for The Wall project, but were being recycled.
The song, in the edit used for the single, also appears on the compilation album Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. For the Pink Floyd album, see The Wall. For other works related to the Pink Floyd album, see Wall disambiguation. Alan Parker Gerald Scarfe animation. 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 Terry Semel there, who at the time was head of Warner Bros. 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? It was like nothing anyone had ever seen before — a weird fusion of live-action, story-telling and of the surreal.
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.
