I just watched it for the first time. I was tweaking out on amphetamines and nicotine and I had to control my heart rate in the midst of the fucked up shit I was watching. I will cherish this experience.

it's unwatchable. it's a pastiche of artsy-fartsy cliches strung together. it's an art movie for people who otherwise would never watch art movies. instead of being a movie in its own right, it's just as a sideshow/sidekick to a rock album.

to its credit, alan parker mutes the voices and tells the story from within, pulling you under the psychology of his character. but none of it works. it's just so much hokum and malarky. it's almost embarassing to watch the nightmarish, hypnotic, and apocalyptic rock album reduced to stuffy images of childhood loss, class oppression, and modern alienation. it's bad shit.

that said, the animation sequences are truly outstanding.

That's not a movie.

The class oppression wasn't meant to be taken literally. It's just Pink wanting to grasp the illusion of control. Also, people who label what art is for who are the worst.

HELLO HELLO HELLO

Because Pink Floyd sucks ass

I think you'd be hard pressed to find many people under the age of thirty-five who smoked pot for the first time while watching this.

60 mg of lisdexamfetamine and an hour and a half of chain-smoking American Spirit Blacks. You buck-toothed fogie.
