Came here to say that there should be. There's even a "Film" button that just redirects to the "Music" page.
Putting the film-specific stuff on another page would really cut down on the length quite a bit. Surely there's some direhard Floyd fans out there willing to do it.
Should anything after "Comfortably Numb" be considered a spoiler? It seems that it'd be a little surprising for Pink to become a dictator and tear his Wall down after putting himself on trial.
Although it's not much of a trope, does anyone else feel that the Hammer Army's allusion to a rise of The British Empire (a la the German Third Reich) deserves mention here? I found it to be a fascinating plot point, and it's mentioned several times in the movie.

You know, I think "The Wall" gets a bit of a bum rap. The Syd Barrett connection notwithstanding, it's not really about a guy who goes insane. It's more of a guy who's been saddled with frustration after frustration, until he finally says "I'm out of here!" and shuts himself off from the world, only to realize that it wasn't the best of ideas.
Discuss.

I removed the following from the top of the page. While I LOVE the quote, I don't think it has anything to do with this and got in here by mistake:
Never mind; see below post. (I'm running on an unreliable 56k dialup.)

May I instead file it under "Arc Words?" Roger Waters used that quote all throughout the viral promotion of "The Wall 2010"—he projected it on buildings, made leaflets of it, etc.
It's about the military-industrial complex, which I will attempt to explain with varying success. Say you're the head of a manufacturing company (in the USA, preferably—you also have patriotism on your side). You find that bullets and bombs are good for business; in fact they're your #1 moneymaker, and it's all your company makes.
But you can't keep all the stuff you made, or else you won't make a profit, and your investors/stockholders will be unhappy. What do you do? Sell it to the highest bidder!
However, your clients also need to use it. Say your client also wants to go to war with another country (I'm not going to name names). Yes, this is very good for business.
The problem is, it leads to money that could have been spent on infrastructure and other useful things, which means that the taxpayers will have to reach into their pockets a little more. And, if any of the soldiers overseas die, then that means their children won't get to know their fathers anymore.
I've learned from experience that you can NEVER take anything in isolation: everything has a ripple effect on something else.
Should there be a separate page for the film, as Pink Floyd The Wall? Similar to how the Beatles albums and films are set up (A Hard Day's Night, Help!, Magical Mystery Tour, Yellow Submarine and Let It Be)
