The Wall

Year: 1982
Director: Alan Parker
Animation Director: Gerald Scarfe
Screenplay: Roger Waters

"The Wall" is an interesting film that uses rather horrifying imagery to convey meaning. The story follows 'Pink' a boy who loses his father in war, grows up, becomes a rock star then has a mental break down and drug overdose. The imagery is powerful and works well with the music, however the first half of the film feels more like a music video than a movie with a lengthy narrative.

The main themes of the movie involve madness, growing up without a father, control over others and prosecution.

The 2D animation style work is awesome and complements the themes of madness and insanity well. The figures are horrible morphing creatures with disfigured features.

I would say the film is mix of a musical and drama film.
