Pink Floyd's The Wall is one of my all-time favorites. To properly appreciate the film, it helps to be confused, disturbed, and drunk. Which is probably why this film is so popular with college students. I saw it during my first few weeks as a freshman at NMT, and very soon saw it a few more times. I have also been fortunate enough to see it on the big screen. It's great on video, but to have all the action splattered across an 80-ft wide screen, blasting out melodies on hefty theater speakers, is an amazing experience. It's pretty rare a movie is made from an album, but this is definitely the best. I guess you could say it has one of the best movie soundtracks ever, as well. |
