I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
... View MoreThere's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
... View MoreI didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
... View MoreIt is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
... View MoreIt *sounded* like a good idea. But the cast reads like a series of "Where Are They Now" episodes for VH1, and their performances are truly terrible. Waters still had *some* of his voice left, and it's a shame that he didn't use his own pipes more, Joni Mitchell is truly wretched; this project is the biggest loser she's been involved with since she used to date David Crosby! Sinead O'Connor shows why she was a one-hit wonder, the Scorpions seem to have been thrown in to appease the Kraut-centric Berlin audience, Bryan Adams (who?) is totally forgettable. One also finds it hard to believe that Jerry Hall knows how to act based on her performance here...I *will* give this show an extra star for Snowy White's outstanding guitar work, it's the only thing that kept me listening all the way through. His performance is far more than a mere imitation of David Gilmore.An actual performance (several, actually) of the *real* Pink Floyd performing "The Wall" at Earl's Court is available through various fan-trading clubs and bit-torrent sites. They are a *little* dark in places(the reason an edit was never commercially released) but they beat THIS suck-fest hands down! The best of the bunch is described here: http://www.harvested.org/DVD006/index.html
... View MoreI see only one other report on this and can't disagree more. I was fortunate enough to see Floyd perform The Wall live at the LA Sports Arena in 1979. I'm told that, due to stage size requirements, they only "built" the full wall on stage in LA and NY. The performance in Berlin in 1990 is the closest one can get to what they might have seen in '79. The sound on the DVD is excellent and the cinematography was nothing short of outstanding. Having the variety of musicians and vocalists involved was terrific with the sole exception of Van Morrison, who gave an extremely weak performance for Comfortably Numb, which on the album is one of the highlight songs. This DVD is absolutely worth the price and can be enjoyed many times. For comparison, watch the theatrical version which delves deeply into the trauma of "Pink's" life, played wonderfully by Bob Geldorf of the Boomtown Rats.
... View MoreToday I have watched this concert maybe for the twentieth time. It is one of the best concerts ever made. Roger Waters and all the participants are perfect. Mandatory for those who appreciate excellent musicians. My vote is ten.
... View MoreWhat an incredible double feature this concert is! The most incredible Pink Floyd concept album is brought to Berlin Germany and played out with an all star cast live under the supervision of former Floyd frontman Roger Waters. There was also a cause for celebration in the air as the previous year saw the break up of a divided Germany and the Berlin Wall was dismantled for good. This live show is a must see for new Floyd/Waters fans that probably were not even born when the original album came out in 1979. A brilliant show that captures the beauty of Waters lyrics and perceptions! Look out for Jerry Hall as the party girl who wants to take a bath with Old Pink. Also stars Joni Mitchel, Bryan Adams, Van Morrison, Sinead O' Connor, Cindi Lauper, Tim Currey, Albert Finney and Thomas Dolby.
