Character : Pink (Roger Waters)
Part One:
Daddy's flown across the ocean
Leaving just a memory
A snapshot in the family album
Daddy what else did you leave for me
Daddy what d'ya leave behind for me!!!
All in all it was just a brick in the wall
All in all it was just bricks in the wall
Waters had no father, he left this world when he was very young and this song is dedicated to him!
Another brick in the wall Two....
Obvious, frustrations from the School System and many stu pid things that all kids must know (going in the machine mincing all the kids )
Another brick in the wall Part 3
Part III" could be called Pink's last bout of sanity before being completely hidden behind the wall - he resists his wife and drug, then says that he doesn't need anything at all. The song is in contrast to "Goodbye Cruel World", immediately following, where he has finished the wall
SONG "Vera"
The theme is interesting here that's why i choose some of the songz from the album
Vera: It is preceded by "Nobody Home" and followed by "Bring the Boys Back Home". This song is a reference to Vera Lynn, a British singer during World War II and her popular song "We'll Meet Again". The reference is ironic, as Roger Waters (and his fictional character "Pink") would not meet his father, lost in the war. The lyric "Vera, what has become of you?" suggests that Vera Lynn herself, like her promise, vanished. It has also been interpreted to mean that hope is gone.
You may ask about the brick and the wall well the "bricks" are different traumatic events that make up the mental "wall" created by the protagonist. (in this case Pink)
About some other songs
Waiting for the worms:
By now in the album, Pink has lost all hope and has let bad ideas, or "worms", control his thoughts. In his hallucination, he is a fascist dictator who spreads hatred, with the promise that his followers would see "Britannia rule again" and "send our coloured cousins home again," and announces he is "waiting to turn on the showers and fire the ovens.
In the end i must say ALL IN ALL IT WAS A WATERS FRUSTRATIONS FROM HIS BAD CHILDHOOD, a life without a father, histeric mother who was putting his fears when he was young, loosing his best friend (SYD BARRETT), proclaming the girls (women) like a hookers who are doing sex for money glory and fame.About HOW CAN YOU HAVE ANY PUDDING IF YOU DON'T EAT YOUR MEAT ----the school the teachers, who are starting to made a zombies from the kids from their early age .They start rating them with marks, good better the best and the worse!
Friend
It's only a social disturbing Movie full with concequences of his traumatic past.....
P.s Oh yes i allmost forgot, there is nothing to do with Nazism, it's all about how do young and all people are accepting ONE DICTATOR, ONE BRAIN WASHER.It doesen't matter who he is or what he has up to, simply Waters is telling that everyone is blind and no one cares about nothing , all they wana see is a fasade, a speach a good look and a charisma no matter about the deep meening of his words

Pink was "over loved" by his mother because his father had died and he had been a sickly child. Later in life he was ridiculed by his teacher for writing poetry. He can only perform onstage with the help of drugs to get him throught the show.
We all build walls to try and protect ourselves from others.
The Wall didn't have anything to do with Syd Barrett's problems mainly because he wasn't in Pink Floyd when The Wall was made (1979) Barrett was only in Floyd from '65-'68.
Roger Waters wrote the majority of The Wall.
Pink was the anti-hero who had lost his father in WW II just like Waters' did.
As always, different people will have different opinions as to the meaning of the movie. You just have come to your own conclusions.

Well, it's based on Roger Waters real life. The death of his father during WWII and his becoming a rock star. A lot of it has to do with the alienation and self-absorption of fame and the loss of a father figure.

Relatively senseless cult movie.

A wall is a barrier between yourself and the world.
