ive just watched this film by pink floyd "the Wall", after being looking forward to seing it for a long time i get to see it, i come away without a single good word to describe it, confused, not being able to listen to there music anymore and the sense that they might be nazi's.

has anyone seen this film, if so can you explain it to me

Is this the film with Bob Geldof?

That, I've never seen fully, but it's on Sky Digital the whole time so I've seen bits of it at my friend's house from time to time. There's a lot of nice imagery and fucked up shit going on in it, but I'm not really sure what it's all about. something to do with crazed shit going on inside the head of the crazed guy, Sid Barrett.

He's talking about the scene that goes with the song In the Flesh in the second disc. He becomes a fascist and starts requesting that 'queers', Jews, 'coons', weed-smokers, and polka-dotted people ought to be put up against the wall, and if he had it his way, he'd have all of them shot. I'm quite certain that it was a criticism of how missguided and radical people become within the oppressive confines of the Wall. Or something like that. They're not nazis, don't worry.

when he loses it, he becomes a dictator in his head and imagines killing off the people that have made him become what he has become. It is about suffering and building a "wall" separating yourself from the world
