Summary: An excelent gift for any floydian
Review: This edition of Pink Floyd - The Wall contains a saucerful of secrets (not to be confused with "A Saucerful of Secrets"), tons of extra materials and, of course, the music, the madness and the movie.Image quality and sound quality are superb. Definitely worth every penny.

Summary: The Greatest Movie of All Time
Review: This movie is the embodiment of how the human mind can be corrupted into degredation and insanity. With no conventional dialogue, you find yourself sucked into Pink's inner psyche through the music of "The Wall". Through the flashbacks and memories, you see how a madman builds his perfect isolation brick by brick, sealing himself from the pains of losing a father, an unfaithful wife, an overprotective mother, and the pressures of rock stardom. You just can't go wrong with this abstract representation of the journey into the mind of a man who has lapsed into insanity.

Summary: A great movie
Review: This is one of the best movies that I have seen. The music from Pink Floyd's The Wall tells the story of Pink, who is going over his life in a hotel room in LA.... The music fits perfectly in many of the scenes and the cartoon sequences are great, and Bob Geldof does a great job singing. There are also some very strong political statemenrs in the movie. All in all it is a great movie that should be part of everyones DVD collection

Summary: Pink Floyd's Even Great on DVD!!!!!
Review: This is definitely the ultimate music video to make a person think! Though some people regard this movie as insane and a waste of 95 minutes, it's classic Pink Floyd! It goes along great with the music and mindset of Pink Floyd. Plus, the DVD has a 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound added in, 2 documentaries, original trailers, music videos, commentary, and extra footage! It's a great collector's item for the Pink Floyd fan, and a great DVD (or video) for anyone's collection!

Summary: Other DVD's?
Review: There is no doubt that this DVD is one of the best musical stories around, but why their live, 1980 performance of "The Wall" and also the 1994 performance of "Pulse" are not published in DVD?

Summary: incredible!
Review: I rented this DVD recently, and I must say I'm quite impressed. I'd seen The Wall before but for some reason it never hit me like this time. Most of the story is based on Waters' own life, and you can really feel some of his very personal fears and excitement coming through in the storyline. The movie is incredible, and it'll take you at least days to get through all the extras on the disc. One DVD well worth the money! PS: if anyone out there is a Tool fan, but hasn't gotten into Floyd...YOU NEED TO CHECK THEM OUT!!

Summary: Roger Waters is INCREDIBLE
Review: I'll tell you this much, this is the best movie made of a concept album of all time, it has great lyrics, great music, nice flow from song to song.
The DVD has nice extra features, the other side of the wall documentary is excellent. Buy this if your a Pink Floyd & Rock and Roll fan, show to your kids.
The Wall should be studied in the futere on schools.
The best.

Summary: Awesome movie...
Review: I haven't even touched on the special features on the DVD yet, but the movie itself is incredible. The imagery (both animated and live action) in synchronization with the music of Pink Floyd is abslutely stunning. The movie begins with Pink's memories of losing his father during WWII, then goes on the describe his loneliness, his humiliation at school (The lyrics of Money used for both humor and to show the cruel action of the teacher), his loss of his wife (not death, she left him for another man), and the slow decay of his sanity. The animated scenes include a very vivid portrait of war (bombings symbolized quite astonishingly by an enormous bird of prey clawing up chunks of the english countryside), the building of the wall (this is just an awesome scene all together), and the trial (complete with a stunning array of characters symbolizing a prosecutor, a judge, his school teacher, his wife, and his mother). The film is one of the most visually arresting ever made, and it uses only the lyrics and music of Pink Floyd to advance what little true plot it has. But it wouldn't particularly matter if the movie had a plot or not. This is a film about images, and very vivid images at that. Some are funny, most are cruel and unforgiving (the young Pink walking through the bombed out trenches in search of his father). This is a movie that just has to be seen.

Summary: Brilliance
Review: This movie, when i first saw it, i thought was incredible. But after viewing this film a couple of times i realize the true brilliance of the band Pink Floyd. This movie depicts a man breaking himself away from the outside world, and creating a "wall". Another Brick in the wall shows different reasons for the building of the wall, and why this man pink is going slowly mad. Pink, the main character i belive is the former member Syd Barret, which went schytsofrantic, and left the band in the late 60's. If you watch the movie closely, you can realize how brilliant Pink Floyd really is. Everything, represents something, like the song "Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2" depicts conformaty, and as you watch this part, you think the children are just destroying the school, but it shows children walking into a machine, and coming out all the same. The movie has strange masks, representing conformaty. Pink Floyd represents a lot of things like this through the whole movie. The Wall isn't just a story about a man, it shows The whole World War Two story, through "secret" messages, that you have to figure out. I still have yet to find out what they mean through this movie fully, but I am slowy piecing it all together. When you watch The Wall, you aren't just watching a crummy motion picture that a band put together as a publicity stunt, you are watching a brilliant story, which defies most movies. If you like Pink Floyd's music, this is a great movie, and it is very fun to watch. When you listen to the Album, you realize what all the songs mean, and it makes you have that tingle down your spine. When i watch this movie, I realize the strangest things, and I get that tingle down my spine, that makes me feel like i need to watch it again and again. Pink Floyd - The Wall.. pure brilliance... Pink Floyd is really the band that no one realizes is really good, and i believe that if anyone gives this band a listening, you can realize how good they are. This movie is incredible.

Summary: Top 5 movies ever.
Review: The Wall is a great movie about the pink floyd bassist and leader (at that time) Roger Waters. It's a non-linear movie, really hard to understand, full of metaphors. It was made in the 70's and it discusses lots of actual themes. The only problem of this movie is that it's too much non-commercial, what makes lots of people to not like it... It's like nothing i've ever seen. It's an album made to be a movie and a movie made to be an album; by that you can imagine the sync between images and sounds. The treatment of the images is really damn good. The contents of the DVD is really amazing too. Of course, for those who like Pink Floyd, the dvd is even better. It's really worth to spend the money.
