The Wall
« on: September 05, 2005, 10:42:40 PM »
I just finished watching "The Wall" again for the first time in years, maybe decades.

I sat down to start watching and had a half a beer sitting next to me. When it was over, the beer was still sitting there, all warm and crap. (it was guiness draft, so its not so bad warm) I guzzled the rest of it.

There is no overt drug use, only somewhat implied. Not alot of drinking. A few boobies fly about unfettered(I had forgotten about that).

What is it about this movie(musical?) that makes me feel like I need to rush off to detox when I'm done watching? It was a freakin TRIP the first time I saw it (84) and is still a freakin TRIP 20 years later. When I first saw it I didn't half understand what the hell was going on, now with 20 years of life behind me I do get it...mostly...

So why do I feel....?

Isn't there an urban legend that you can watch the wizard of oz to the soundtrack of the wall or something along that line?

My daughter said they watched the Wizard of Oz and listened to Dark Side of the Moon in class a couple of days and it seemed to match up pretty well. She thought it was kind of funny and neat.

That weird feeling, is the old man in you mourning the days of youth. I have music I put on, and I can sit there, with a beer, and close my eyes....and feel like its 1980, when I used to go into my sisters room and steal her wine, and listen to her stereo.

I had this movie saved on my PC for a while up until a couple days ago when i was cleaning up.

It is one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen. I really didnt see much of a point behind it. I am probably missing it though.

It's a story about a man's mental break down.  Pink, the singer in the movie, is based on Syd Barrett and the mental break down Pink suffers is also based on Syd Barrett's mental break down.  So basically, it's about Syd Barrett's decline into madness.

Certainly not Zeppelin or Floyd, but these guys are the closest I've seen in a while.

Edit: Some language in the music.  Not adviseable for playing loud or at work.

I know this may sound like a stupid question, but I listened to the album the other day to find the Song, that is playing during the Anzio Beach landings in the movie.

Lyrics say something to the effect of "tigers roamed free, But the Anzio Beach must remain free!" <
What song is this on the album?

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

It's about Roger water's alienation of the crowd, which reached the boiling point in 1977 at Montreal (the spitting incident).  Actually only two songs off of the album is are about Syd, Nobody Home & Comfortably Numb.  The album is about Roger Water's growing up without his father and the rigors and outright boredom of touring in stadiums.

'When the Tigers Broke Free...'

Its not on the album as Wolf14 says...

Quote
It was just before dawn
One miserable morning in black 'forty four.
When the forward commander
Was told to sit tight
When he asked that his men be withdrawn.
And the Generals gave thanks
As the other ranks held back
The enemy tanks for a while.
And the Anzio bridgehead
Was held for the price
Of a few hundred ordinary lives.

And kind old King George
Sent Mother a note
When he heard that father was gone.
It was, I recall,
In the form of a scroll,
With gold leaf and all.
And I found it one day
In a drawer of old photographs, hidden away.
And my eyes still grow damp to remember
His Majesty signed
With his own rubber stamp.

It was dark all around.
There was frost in the ground
When the tigers broke free.
And no one survived
From the Royal Fusiliers Company C.
They were all left behind,
Most of them dead,
The rest of them dying.
And that's how the High Command
Took my daddy from me.
