I do not regret saying that for many years, Pink Floyd has been my favorite musical group. I've been listening to their music since I was a wee little girl and I have always enjoyed it. However, I recently stumbled upon a movie that is based on their iconic album: The Wall. The movie shows the life of a fictional character-- Pink Floyd from his childhood days in the post World War II era to manhood as a rockstar.
This album is extremely interesting because it tells a story all in itself. The album is like a really really exceptional essay, It has the starting thesis and throughout the album it connects back to the claim. This album is meant to be listened to in order, do not listen to the songs on shuffle because you will not understand the story. This isn't just a music album, but its a series of events that tell the life story of a young innocent mind that slowly transforms into a depressed, drug abused life that is closing in on itself and reaching the brink of insanity.
Although the movie may be a little strong and vulgar at times, watching it explains what the album is really all about. There is not much dialogue, the only words are in the songs of the album. The movie tied into the songs is truly a work of art and brings you to a state of understanding and relaxation.
