can't finish it

I have a love hate relationship with Pink Floyd's work I'm afraid. As for The Wall I make a repeated attempt to watch it again and again but every time it feels.. I don't know.. depressing?

I love the album, and have the DVD (region 1) of the film. The film is self indulgent crap, I'm afraid.

Watched it in the cinema when it came out all those long long looooooong years ago.

Watched it on tv subsequently, when it was shown on some C4 arty farty let's analyse this to death programme.

Got the dvd, which I've watched "Comfortably Numb" off.

The rest of it is so depressing I didn't bother with it.

The production was slightly fraught with two control freaks doing their independent things.

Saint Bob of Give Me the Fecking Money apparently reduced his hands to ribbons while doing take after take with the venetian blinds bit. (IIRC).

Sir Bob didn't do The Final Cut.

Sir Bob said it was the most depressing thing he had ever done. Seen it a few times and at one point sliced the animation out to an Acorn replay file. watching it on a projector if you get the chance.

I knew a guy who watched the Wall while sober, and again while stoned on LSD. He said he couldn't really tell the difference.

Great music either way.

Pink Floyd - The Wall

Having listened to that classic song the other day I realised that I had never ever seen Pink Floyds film 'The Wall'. Being a fan of 60/70s and early iconography type Brit films, prog rock and musical / rock musicals I decided to watch it this evening.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEjx...41CC096CB969F8

I have to admit that ignorantly I did not know that the film starred Bob Geldof as Pink and was a bit stupid to realise the animation was not Gerald Scrafe

Having now watched it, it's good in parts, especially earlier and then just sort of goes a bit, well, odd.

What is the panels view, and what the fook is the ending about?
