The Wall
What a movie!!! I can appreciate abstract/psychedelic art but this movie was ridiculous. The concept of an art/rock/opera was pretty neat until the unnecessary nudity and sexuality hit the screen. I realize that this was Pink Floyd's 9th album and that it reached #1 on the Billboard Album Chart but creating a movie to go along with it was a bit excessive. I believe if I had been on hallucinogenic drugs I would have enjoyed the movie more. The art morphing into different shapes and forms constantly was exciting until it kept going on and on. Despite my disdain for this movie I do believe the cinematographers and art directors for this movie are incredibly gifted. The way they created the hundreds of crows morphing into different Nazi symbols and then back into a bigger crazier looking crow was nuts. There were a lot of political messages in the film as well from communism and socialism to democracy. This aspect of the film along side the crow art, retrieved bits of credibility back for the film.
