Pink Floyd, The Wall is a 1982 British live-action, animated, musical film directed by Alan Parker based on the 1979 Pink Floyd music album The Wall. The screenplay was written by Pink Floyd vocalist and bassist Roger Waters. The film is highly metaphorical, rich in symbolic imagery and sound and driven by Pink Floyd music.
The movie flashes back to Pink as a young English boy growing up in the early 1950s. After learning that his father had died in war, he longs for a father figure. At school, he's humiliated for writing poems in class. The poems that the teacher seizes from him and reads aloud are lyrics from “Money” from Dark Side of the Moon. Pink's overprotective mother also affects him.
Hong Kong's Culture Club Gallery will screen this movie starting at 8 p.m. on September 15.
