Pink Floyd's The Wall



In terms of movie musicals few will argue that the 70s and 80s really revolutionized what a musical could be with Cabaret, All That Jazz, Fame, and A Chorus Line. The Wall revolutionized that even further, though few who have seen this crazy film would call it a musical it is by all arguments and definitions a musical. Most of the time the characters aren't singing the words, and there are no elaborate dance numbers, but there is music and it directly pushes the story forward and it is in the head of the main character. The visuals are crazy and the vision is daring, and well the music is incredible but that goes without saying. Perhaps the only fault with the movie is that it would be better enjoyed with a prior listen through of The Wall the album. If you like Pink Floyd or crazy movies that are also great, check this one out! Oh, and Merry christmas!
