    A lot of people misinterpret this song as anti-school and anti-education because they are taking it out of context with the rest of "The Wall". In this case, bitter and spiteful teachers(🎶"...there were certain teachers..."🎶) are disenchanting the students to education and making them rebel against the entire institution because these few bad teachers make them FEEL like they are going through a grinder instead of fostering their creativity. This has tragic consequences later in the album/movie when these uneducated youth get radicalized by mob mentality because they don't know any better. They never learned their history so now they begin to repeat it. They get swept up in tribalistic fervor and become neo-nazi's and fascists in the songs "In the Flesh" and "Run Like Hell". The album in general is not about him being a brick in the wall. The bricks are his traumatic experiences. This violently critical teacher becomes another brick in wall of his mind. A wall built to isolate him from any feelings or connections with others. The world can't hurt him anymore if he walls himself up from the rest of the world. I still get chills by the end of the album when they chant, 🎶"Tear Down the Wall!" because that is no way to live. It really is an amazing movie that needs to be watched several times.

      Every week aged 12 we had weekly Geography Tests and if half of the class got under 10/20 we ALL took the test again and for every half mark under 10/20 the second time we then got a stroke of the cane, up to 4 strokes maximum. I got caned for 23% English Literature exam aged 12...lol

    This was from the 1982 film "Pink Floyd: The Wall" a rock musical which was based on the band's album of the same title. The movie mainly has musical numbers of songs from the album and doesn't have a lot of speaking parts. This scene with the factory, masks and destroying the school was all in the boy's mind, it wasn't real. The kids did not kill the teacher since it was all in his head. The story can be hard to understand at times so you would have to follow almost every detail in the movie to really get what's going on. Good reaction.

    Actually I think the boy was day dreaming about what he wanted to do (tear down the school). And at the end, it is that same boy grown up and he is messed up for life. The trauma of the school was just one brick in the wall that caused him to close up and build a wall around him. His co-dependent life with his mother was another brick that closed him in etc. All these horrible life events caused him mental illness. ( Just my own interpretation). You really should listen and watch the whole album in order. It is absolutely amazing. You will never forget it.

      @@allbies The song can of course be interpreted that way singularly. We are essentially bricks being churned out by society, schooling. But the film 'The Wall' is about Pink's struggle with isolation and alienation. The song 'Mother' shows an overbearing, controlling figure for example. 'Thin ice' I would think was a reference to the precarious nature of society. The Wall as a whole album is supposedly about the self-isolating barrier we put up against the world. The bricks being the things and people that influence us along the way. At least that's the interpretation I've read most often.

    The song is about how schools stifle creativity making us all the same and not preparing us for the real world. The meat grinder the kids are falling into represents the world that they aren’t ready for.

    Also the Wall itself is essentially the thing a person puts up to protect themselves from the world, but that also imprisons them from being more. Listen to the song Mother. It is super deep and spooky.

    I'm sure somebody may have said this but just in case they didnt...the "kids" on the train was a representation of Jews being shipped to concentration camps during WWII. This album is about the loss Roger Waters was dealing with (among other things) about his father dying in WWII while he was a child and never got to know his father.

    New subscriber here, love the insight and thought in your reactions! You get the symbolic meaning so often when others miss it, I really appreciate that.
    Just wanted to add to this one, you got the meaning SO right; that industrial view of education really started in Britain with the Industrial Revolution. Suddenly there was a huge need for factory workers everywhere to help run the machines; they didn't want real people with real thoughts and feelings, they wanted bricks in the wall to build their strength as a power structure. The individuals didn't matter.
    In many ways, this unfortunately still applies not just in the U.K., also here in the USA etc. Love you guys, thanks for this ^_^

    The wall is highly “stylized” as is most Pink Floyd. “The Wall” is about the walls that separate us. There’s walls everywhere…….between teacher and student, band and audience, actors and audience, etc etc Literally everywhere we look in society. Roger Waters was exploring some heavy concepts for being a young man back then.

    The train is a reference to the holocaust and how people were herded onto boxcars and taken to extermination camps. For older generations, with more vivid memories of WWII history, this is super clear imagery.

    Thank you both for your excellent reaction! The rebellion sequence happens in the young man's dreams. That daydream is his protection from the reality he is living at this school - one more brick in the protective wall he is building around himself. The poem in his notebook is actual lyrics from the Pink Floyd song Money. PF wrote albums, not just songs, and you really need to listen to the entire album of The Wall. This has been my first time on your channel, but it most definitely will not be my last!! Keep up the great work!

    Thsi song was made as an protest/anthem for kids. The complaint was that schools were like factories. Just churning out kids with little to no interest into their individuality. The result was a sick society. The Brick in the Wall is a reference to the wall you build around yourself to protect yourself. If you watch the move The Wall, it has the music from the album The Wall and it illustrates a story about a how a man comes to survive dealing with all the personal attacks from every aspect of his life. School is just one part.

    The album is a composit of the life story of a guy who's father is killed in WWII. He is raised by his mother and struggles to find his dentity. He develops mental health issues as he struggles with substance abuse and self imposed isolation. His mom is overprotective and he learns to build "mental walls" to isolate himself from feeling emotional pain, but he also cuts himself off from love. There's a lot more to it, but thats the jist.

    This whole album was a representation of what he went through with the war when he was younger and in UK/England/Great Britain. This was how it was back in the day. The whole album is amazing and the movie is too. You've got to understand the way it was back then, by this song, to watch the movie. But this is how it was back then. Holocaust and just, like you said, a number. Not a person. A number.

  • @SneakySolidSnake
    @SneakySolidSnake Před měsícem

    there is a main story to the album. iirc, it's about a fictional person, named pink, which is based on the band members' shared experiences. the overarching story is about the boy building a mental wall of isolation, which separates him from the stimulus of the world around him. making him cold, unfeeling, and extremely depressed as he grows into manhood. the bricks are metaphorical, and function as the reasons why he is building the wall. every time he is hurt emotionally or physically, another metaphorical brick is added to the wall separating him from the pain and pleasures of life. when the wall is complete, what you have is basically a sociopath.

    Nice that you are trying Pink Floyd,one of the very best bands from any genre. As good and provocative that this song is, you need to listen to the entire album to get the whole story of 'Pink', listen to the audio album sometime then watch the movie. Even better songs to be amazed by are Time, Comfortably Numb and Echoes. Enjoy! 🎸

    Brinks in the Wall, like the entire album is semi autobiographical, written by the bass player....and "you're just another brick in the wall" refers to anyone that treated him bad or screwed.over him is just making him isolate himself from ghe world...essencially building a mental wall to protect himself....basically if u treat me wrong all you are doing is putting another brick in my mental wall.

    No, many of the commenters are missing the whole metaphor of the Wall. You have listen to the whole album. What is happening to the protagonist ("Pink" in the movie) is that each traumatic event in his life creates another brick in the wall he builds around his mind. To manage his pain and suffering, he walls himself off from the world, from feeling, from caring, from anything that would potentially hurt him.

    Context of the British song writers of those days is fundamentally important to the music they created. Their context was very different than US kids of the same age.
    Growing up in post war Britain. The 60s 70s rockers were born during or soon after WWII. When the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Stones, Deep Purple, Clapton, etc. were children. They grew up seeing and playing in and around bombed out buildings that had not yet been rebuilt and also hearing first hand stories of the Battle of Britain from their parents and others. This has been spoken about by many of them in the past.

  • @philshorten3221

    Couple of things guys...
    The uprising was just in "Pinks" imagination.
    That's why it cuts back to him still at his desk afterwards.
    The kids aren't "the bricks". The story is that "Pink" builds a mental wall of isolation over his life. Trauma's like school that leave him mentally scared. So to protect himself from the pain each of these events, like the death of his farther, form the bricks that leave him mentally isolated and disturbed.

  • @helmutvogel901

    Yeah, when I went to school, they still had the strap. Except in our school, the Vice Principal (who dealt with discipline) used his size 14 running shoe instead!!! And parents were NOT on the kids side, they must have done something to deserve it. I always told them they could keep me after school, give me the strap, just don't tell my dad!! (My dad spanked, never head or face, never with ruler or belt, open hand on backside. And I usually deserved it, and NEVER made the same mistake twice.)
