Pink Floyd's movie "The Wall," in my humble opinion, has a lot of amazing points - and music - in it. I am saying this 22 years after I first saw it! I have yet to find someone who truly knows, and can point me to a reference, who the plot of the movie is about. I have ideas that it was about various band members or their parents, but no real answer. I sure would like to find out.

The Wall is primarily autobiographical, but not 100% so, written by lead singer Roger Waters.
Roger Waters was inspired to create the album during a 1977 concert tour for the album Animals, dubbed Pink Floyd — In the Flesh. In Montreal, a fan's disruptive behaviour resulted in Waters spitting in the fan's face. Waters was immediately disgusted with himself, and his alienation from his fans urged him to build a wall between himself and the audience, an idea which later evolved into the album.

Its roughly based off of the singers own life. I was told this though, it seemed to kinda be about hitler in my oppinion. He went through a lot of stuggles as a youth, thats likely why he was so messed up.
