The parameters were never set and, budget constraints apart, no limits imposed - all of which was creatively liberating.’’ (The Making of Pink Floyd the Essay, Parker, 2010), stating that the production itself was problematic but the freedom to construct one’s idea of reality, represents a privilege to both creativity and imagination. But sometimes out of conflict comes interesting work In a way, it’s an experiment in cinematic language. It’s a scream of pain from beginning to end. As Alan Parker describes, ‘’On reflection, Pink Floyd The Wall was the most miserable time I ever had making a film. Starting as a visual concert and not a cinematic film, Pink Floyd The Wall development slowly became an extension of unrealistic expectations combined with a constant terror of failure and utter disappointment. The loss of his father in the World War II, an overprotective mother, a precarious public school system, an unfaithful wife and a lasting internal torment are all the result of Pink’s personal struggles revealed within the film. Pink Floyd The Wall represents the unconventional mindset of Pink and follows his haunting, distorted memories of the past.
As a result, the contrasting stages of Pink’s life are constructed with the help of diverse yet recognised songs, such as ‘’Wish You Were Here’’, ‘’Comfortably Numb’’ or ‘’Another Brick In the Wall’. The approach of highlighting Pink’s problematic evolution through a significant connection with the lyrics, suggests that Pink Floyd The Wall is a bizarre, musical film that gratifies the taste of a curious audience. The film has little to no dialogue, as it is based on Pink Floyd’s eleventh album ‘’The Wall’. Pink Floyd The Wall can be considered the product of Pink’s escapism and fears, consequently altered by personal issues and a damaged trust in the society itself. Inspired by Waters’ troubled past and his involvement with the music industry, Pink’s character is a result of a flamboyant persona who is often reflected not only in his spontaneous actions but in a puzzling behavior towards his family and towards himself. The film follows Pink into a life changing journey in which ironically, the view of an outside world reflects different shades of a very persistent, internal turmoil. The animated film Pink Floyd The Wall was directed by Alan Parker in 1982 and written by the lead singer of Pink Floyd, Roger Waters.
