A lot of the fun comes from the script. On seeing Drew Goddard in the credits, my reaction was "Ah, that's why."

With adaptations, it's all about what is kept and what is cut. A different script writer would have ignored certain things as silly unneeded detail. Loved the Leather Goddess of Phobos reference.

I don't really get where you come from about the Holocaust and the misogyny. The dictator is a very effective metaphor for Pink's self-hatred and guilt. It's evidently blown out of proportion, but it completely makes sense since it's Pink's final descent into complete madness. Ever been so angry with yourself you started thinking how awful a person you were? Here we're talking about someone who's lost everything in his life because of himself, but ultimately because of the traumatic events throughout his life that damaged his personality and made him slowly unable to have interactions with other people (a wall built brick by brick between him and everyone else). Everything about it makes sense, including the misogyny I'm guessing you got from Young Lust and the whole arc with his wife, which is exactly what you'd expect from someone who starts their adult life socially damaged, the rock star fame only aggravating it.

Although dramatized, I find this album really easy to relate to, especially since major parts of it were inspired by Roger Waters' life (who among other things lost his father gone to war as a child - no wonder he's been an active anti-war activist for decades). It really makes you think about the importance of events in your life and how you can gain perspective by analyzing them and yourself.

I completely agree about the film though, and I think it's a miracle that it existed in the first place since it was developed at the peak of Waters and Gilmour's differences (which would lead to Waters ultimately leaving Pink Floyd). Alan Parker notoriously had great difficulties working with Waters as well. And yet we got this amazingly disturbing piece. The animations combine perfectly with the music to create a living nightmare that stayed with me for a long time after I was done watching it.

I've never seen the WWII aspects as comparisons, but more of a constant reminder as to what the first brick in his wall was. No matter what he's feeling at that present moment in time, he's still the little boy who's father went away to die.

Fun fact: I first saw this film on VHS after getting beat up by three teenage girls.

I almost went to its theater showing last month in Paris but couldn't. My brother went and told me it was really great.

In the future, everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes. And chances are it will be in a Steve Jobs biopic.

Is something wrong with me? I saw the new Fantastic Four movie and didn't hate it.

After enjoying Jurassic World, Terminator Genysis and, hell, even TMNT, I feel like something is broken.

Recommend me a bad movie guys, I need to recalibrate my sensors.
