Cosas divertidas

Trivialidades:
The concert sounds you hear at the beginning of the the bathroom scene, is the actual intro done during the tour of "The Wall". This very intro and 'monologue' is heard on the "Is There Anybody Out There? The Wall Live" released in 2000 más
Goofs:
Continuity: The direction of the merry-go-round changes just before young Pink is put on it. más
Quotes:
Judge Arse: [disgusted] The evidence before the court is incontrivertible, there's no need for the jury to retire! In all my years of judging, I have never heard before some one more deserving of the full penalty of law! The way you made them suffer, your exquisite wife and mother, fills me with the urge to DEFECATE!
[the doll reacts in horror]
Judge Arse: Sentence, my friend, you'll have revealed your deepest fear: I sentence you to be exposed before your peers. TEAR DOWN THE WALL! TEAR DOWN THE WALL! TEAR DOWN THE WALL!

The Human Condition, 13 January 2006
9/10
Author: Theo Robertson de Isle Of Bute , Scotland

If for whatever reason you should find yourself in the company of aliens from the planet Nietsche , a planet whose inhabitants have gone beyond what can be described as human nature so much so that they have no knowledge of what being human is , then show them this film that explains everything

The story starts with the Anzio landings that sees the death of Pink's father . As Plato said " Only the dead have seen the end of war " and that is bitterly true , man will always be man and man will always kill man until the end of time

Pink goes to school and education is a double edged sword . It has the potential to educate young humans but as often happens these young humans find themselves being used as victims of whatever mood the teacher is in . Someone must pay for authorities inaquequacies

Pink leaves school and falls in love , but love is the sharpest and most double edged sword in all of creation . It inspires but it also destroys us . Despite hundreds of millions of human beings being killed in wars , genocide and purges there is nothing so personally painful or as cruel as the betrayal by a lover . The darkest pits of Hell can not be as hellish or as sadistic as infidelity

As Pink descends further into his personal madness we see him take his revenge . Humans are sexual beings and perhaps this is what makes us both demons and avenging angels . Irony is to the fore as he stops becoming a victim and turns into unfeeling fascist dictator . Someone must pay for all the wrongs Pink has endured and it's the innocent that must suffer

You could go to the planet Nietsche with all the written works of every human philosopher who ever lived and that still wouldn't be enough to explain what it's like to be human . As it stands Alan Parker and Roger Waters have made a cogent film explaining why humans are the way they are and how they react to the surrounding universe . It's a film whose soundtrack is every bit as powerful as the human condition
