Pink Floyd: The Wall
Pink Floyd: The Wall is a 1982 British live-action/animated psychological drama musical film directed by Alan Parker, based on Pink Floyd’s 1979 album of the same name.
Director: Alan Parker
Screenplay by Roger Waters
Cast: Kevin McKeon as Young Pink
James Laurenson as Pink’s father
The second verse (after “Another Brick in the Wall Part 1“) shows Pink finding his father’s uniform, the letter of condolence, straight razor, and bullets. He then puts on the uniform, where it cuts between his father doing the same.
In the film version, this segment is animated by Gerald Scarfe. It begins in live-action with a cat trying to catch the white dove but then flies away. It transitions to animation with the dove flying peacefully up only to suddenly be gorily torn apart by a black Nazi eagle (Reichsadler). It glides over the countryside and swoops down to grasp the earth with its talons, ripping up a huge section leaving a sulfurous trail in its wake, giving way to a warlord that morphs into a metallic factory that releases warplanes. Next, naked, gas-masked people (the frightened ones) are seen running about on all fours and hiding from The Blitz. The warplanes turned into crosses just as the Union Jack fragments into a bleeding cross. The Nazi eagle crashes and shatters and the dove emerges from it while the dead soldiers are able to finally rest in peace. Finally, the blood from the cross runs down the hill and into a storm drain.
