Summary: I'll tell you of a little boy who lives across the way ...
Review: I'm not going to review the movie itself (there's a multitude of other reviews here for that), but instead I am going to point out a few points about the DVD presentation:The picture quality of the deleted "Hey You" scene is very poor ... the film was obviously heavily damaged. It's watchable, though, and interesting. All in all, though, it doesn't add anything to the movie, so it's understandable that it was cut out. The subtitles display the song lyrics and most of the background dialogue (such as the lyrics to "The Little Boy that Santa Claus Forgot" (the Vera Lynn song playing very quietly at the beginning) and the dialogue on the TV that Pink is watching). It would have been nice to have Pink's ranting, difficult to understand, megaphone speech during "Waiting For the Worms" subtitled, but no such luck. If you don't listen to the whole commentary, at least listen to it during the "Is There Anybody Out There?" segment. Roger Waters goes off on a strange, Monty Python-ish tangent ... it's very funny, especially when placed up against the humorless movie. I'd seen this movie many times before, and believe me, you haven't seen this movie at its full potential without watching it in its wide-screen, digital glory.

Summary: Que lastima
Review: Soy un fan de Pink Floyd y en especial de The Wall.Creo que es una de las realizaciones mas grandiosas en cuanto a musicales se refiere. Hace unos pocos dias me gane un DVD Player para ser utilizado solo con discos para zona 4 (latinoamerica). Quisiera saber si ahora o en un futuro estara disponible el DVD de The Wall para reproductores zona 4. Seria grandioso que se pudiera conseguir, pues solo entre mis amigos hay varios que les gustaria adquirirlo. Si estoy hablando solo de mis amigos cercanos, que se podria decir de todo latinoamerica?. Creo que seriamos millones los clientes potenciales. Les agradeceria que pudieran dar una respuesta a esta inquietud. My best regards.

Summary: Pink Floyd: The Wall - Welcome my son.....
Review: I was a Pink Floyd fan throughout my younger years, but The Wall to meis still one of the most wonderfully well-produced albums of all time.I must have seen this film in the theater over 20 times during my highschool years. And now, seeing and hearing this film on DVD has'remastered' my appreciation for this entertaining visual and audioexperience. At first sight, the graphics work on the package and thedisc itself is attractive. the animated flowers are beautifullyportrayed on the disc. The inner pamphlet is a simple mini poster,with movie and DVD credits. I was hoping for a little more to read,but I guess not this time. I popped the DVD into my player and wasimmediately introduced to the main menu. You have 4 choices....themovie, the extra features, scene/song selection and audio selection.Let's first talk about the audio selection, titled "Set TheControls". You have a choice of 5.1 surround and PCM stereosurround. **TECHNICAL NOTE-If your DVD player has 3D soundenhancement, you must turn this off for this disc. Having thatfeature on will lower the sound quality from this disc** You also havea "system set up" choice. It gives you specific sound testsand directions on volume and surround elements. A nice addition, kindof like the THX optimode on other discs, but slightly different. Thenext menu button is titled "Any Title You Like". Underthis, you get to choose subtitles if you wish. Your choices areSpanish, French or English. You get to choose scenes by song, ofcourse. Unfortunately, these choices are only numbered, there are nodescriptions of the scene or the song. So, it may take a few tries tofind an individual scene. You also have a choice to watch the filmwith the song lyrics below the picture. This is pretty cool. Itreminded me of those "Pink Floyd Karaoke Parties" that Inever went to! Anyway, it would probably be taken more seriously tothose not too familiar with the lyrics. The final button, titled"A Soucerful of Features", contain all the supplementalmaterial. You have your choice of two documentaries, titled "TheOther Side", "Retro Part One", and "Retro PartTwo". "The Other Side" is a piece produced around thetime The Wall was released, and it's great to watch. There is a lotof behind the scenes footage. "Retro Part One and Two" arerecent documentaires containing rather new interviews with RogerWaters, Alan Parker and others who worked on the film. Both of thesedocumentaires are fascinating because it is well known (to fans), thatRoger and Alan had very different views as to what the film is about!A lot of behind the scenes stories and information. They are puttogether very well and a pleasure to watch! You also have the choiceof watching the film with commentary by Roger Waters and Gerald Scarfe(animation). These commentaries have great behind the scenesinformation throughout the film. Roger Waters is especially apleasure to listen to because he laughs (which is rare), and he givesthe commentary a more personal experience since the film issemi-autobiographical. He even mentions a story about Syd Barrett(the founder of Pink Floyd). This commentary is outstanding. Thefinal piece of supplemental material is when you click a button titled"Oddities". These pieces of supplemental material includethe trailer, photographs from the movie set, paintings from the film,a music video of "Another Brick in the Wall-Part 2", and asequence of the song "Hey You" that was not in the final cutof The Wall. That's all the supplemental material...well worth ittoo! The only two complaints I have are these buttons that you canpress that give you 10 second sound bites from the film, and theslowness of the menus. After you select something, you need to watch10 seconds of video before you are allowed to make your next choice.Menu design and graphics is pretty good, but should be MUCH faster.OK, so I watched the film and the high definition transfer isincredibly beautiful. Colors are deeply saturated with a sharppicture and wonderful clarity. The transfer is very impressive!Sound quality is a mixed bag. The production track sounds dated, nottoo much range but not at all annoying, just noticeable. The music isunbelievable! The soundtrack was remastered from the ORIGINAL MASTERTAPES. If you've never heard The Wall on a surround sound system, youare in for a big treat. The music sounds almost perfect, with somehiss, but nothing to complain about. There were times I heardinstruments that I didn't remember from the album....incredibly clear,wonderfully recorded music. I can't say enough about the musicalsoundtrack, it comes alive on DVD. Pink Floyd never sounded better!In conclusion, I recommend this DVD to EVERY Pink Floyd fan, and tothose who want to hear a unique, musical experience and watch abeautifully photographed film. I must add that the animation isabsolutely wonderful. Gerald Scarfe has included his great creativitythroughout the film! The disc loses points ONLY for its slow menunavigation. Other then that, Pink Floyds The Wall on DVD iswonderful. Tons of extra footage, a beautiful transfer andunbelievable sounding music. A great DVD to own whether you liveinside or outside the wall! Enjoy!

Summary: An strong musical/drama film.
Review: The Plot: Is about a man named Pink, a rock and roll performer, who sits in a hotel room, always lock himself in, somewhere in Los Angeles. Too many shows, too much on drugs and too much applause:He`s a burned out case. He watches T.V., which all too familiar for him, seeing war films on the T.V. Screen. On his mind, he`s shuffle time and back on reality and nightmare as we go thought into Pink`s painful memoires. In each brick in the wall on his mind has slip further built around his feelings. DVD`s has great widescreen transer(2.35:1) and an superb remastered Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround is excellent. Special features are An running commentary track by Roger Walters and Gerald Scarfle. Two different documentary and a great extras for Floyd`s Fans. Grade:A. Panavision.

Summary: Excellently done.
Review: This is a fabulous DVD. Everyone knows how great The Wall is but the big news here is the DVD transfer: It's an excellent master beautifully edited, and all of the bonus content is interesting and worth watching. Navigation around this DVD's menus is the easiest I've seen on any DVD, able to work easily with any kind of player and responsive, as well as beautifully designed... I was surfing around to the various menu screens just for fun! Then there's the movie itself, whose picture is crystal clear and sharp. There are three audio options depending on your stereo setup, Dolby 5.1, Dolby Surround, or normal two-channel. This makes the sound optimum and the sucker really KICKS. Add in the missing "Hey You" as a standalone video and you've got a fabulous release of this classic film.

Summary: Roger Waters makes magic
Review: This is a perfect example of another one of Roger Waters exceptionally perfected masterpieces. The entire movie just moves you to the point of insaness itself. If you like this movie ( which i'm sure you will, if you have not seen it yet ), I recommend the latest in Roger Waters work which is Amused to Death.Goto www.ingsoc.com (no banners) and learn more. I give this DVD a five thumbs up and a quick 4:20.

Summary: The best version of this movie I've ever seen!
Review: I remember going to the movies years ago to see this film. I was much younger and all my friends told me it was the movie to go see in an alternate state-of-mind, if you know what I mean. Seeing this movie again on a wide screen TV with surround sound and all the lights turned out does more justice for this film than the theater I first saw it in did. If you have only seen the VHS version of this film, then you have never truly seen, or heard this movie. Buy it, watch it, and watch it again. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: The Wall on DVD...unbreakable!
Review: Without a doubt, the DVD version of Pink Floyd's masterpiece, The Wall, is a great buy. The quality of the presentation is fantastic, with both sound and picture quality very good indeed. The extra scenes and other add-ons are essential for devout Floyd fans. The only issue I have with the DVD setup is with the menu. While they are visually spectacular, and have obviously had quite a bit of work gone into them, they are not as user-friendly as they could have been. Instead of providing song titles for appropriate scenes, you must instead pick the scene by number. I hope you have a good memory if you want to go to your favourites. Traversal of the menus is also a little slow, owing to the video and sound add-ins, so it takes longer than you would like to get to a particular scene. All that aside however, you purchase this mainly for the film, and that itself is outstanding. Highly highly recommended by this long-term fan!
