Was a video clip issued about the film ?
My question is because I found a 60-page French-speaking research dissertation (master's thesis) titled The Wall (le mur de Berlin) un clip vidéo. But unfortunately, I have no access to be able to read it ;-( --

Pink Floyd—The Wall → Pink Floyd: The Wall – I've never seen it written with an em dash; it looks awkward at best. InverseHypercube 01:14, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: No consensus as to how best to separate the subtitle, after two weeks. Cúchullain t/ c 20:17, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Wow! Nice to see such an epic film inspire 2 pages of debate over a hyphen. Asperger's syndrome, what can you do?
Anyway... in fact in the pool scene, where Geldof was too small to fit into Christopher Reeve's body cast. After a bit of searching they found a similar cast made for Supergirl (Helen Slater). To Geldof's embarassment, it fit perfectly. So there he was, in a swimming pool full of blood, in Supergirl's arse.
That's a part-remembered quote from "Is That It?", Geldof's autobiography which I read a long time ago. My point is, the fact about Geldof's body-cast needs changing. It wasn't a custom one, it was from the film "Supergirl". If anyone still the book, it would be nice to use the proper quote. 94.197.121.219 ( talk) 13:56, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
I edited the plot summary to remove references to facts outside of the film (Waters' father's death, Barrett shaving his eyebrows, etc.) and any mentions of the film itself. The summary should be a straight, but succinct, recitation of the major events of the film, without directly saying things like "the film begins..." or "the film ends...". --- The Old Jacobite The '45 16:34, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
I removed interpretations from the plot summary. E.g., Whether Pink was hallucinating or imagining things is rarely clear, and certainly open to other interpretations. I think this section needs to summarise only what is depicted, not interpretations of what is left vague. Such interpretations are WP:OR. (Or would that be WP:SYNTH?) In any case, they represent the editor's personal interpretation, not what is shown in the movie. Dcs002 ( talk) 03:05, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
I know J.A. Pinkerton comes from Kind Old King George's scroll, but where in the film is Pink named Floyd Pinkerton? Shouldn't the cast list reflect those credited, and the roles as they are titled in the credits? Bob Geldof is credited as playing Pink, not Floyd Pinkerton. If anything, I think the correct way to give his role is "Pink (Floyd Pinkerton)," provided that somewhere in the film that is shown to be his name. Dcs002 ( talk) 03:13, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
I don't think it counts as psychological horror.-- Jakester499 ( talk) 15:16, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
RE: "I think it does…" Fine. Thanks for that. I've just rolled my 1990's-era MA (Hons) degree certificate into a narrow tube and stabbed my eyes with it. When we said we we were embracing "all-viewpoints-are-equal" postmodernism we never, ever intended this. I'm so sorry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.152.105.179 ( talk) 17:14, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
Where is the ISBN number for the movie in the Wikipedia article? Unbelievable. Rtdrury ( talk) 18:26, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
International Standard Audiovisual Number (ISAN) is a unique identifier for audiovisual works and related versions, similar to ISBN for books. Maybe he's thinking of that… — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.152.105.179 ( talk) 17:03, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
Calling it a drama is just false. It is dramatic, yes, but not a drama movie. That is just one minor characteristic. If you read Roger Ebert's review here [1] then you will find that all the descriptions of the movie he writes fall under the psychological horror genre. That is why I think it should be changed. It is scary, it's unsettling, and it's a masterpiece.
"Calling it a drama is just false…" Agreed. However, it's really just an album-length version of what was called a "pop video" at the time the film was made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.152.105.179 ( talk) 17:06, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
