Pink Floyd’s movie released in 1982 provides an intimate interview with an alienated young man, ‘Pink.’ Alienation, in this case, is the particular phenomenon of an individual’s disjunction with the policies, tendencies, principles, etc. with the society in which they live. The do not live in a place in which they can do what they like, so they build a ‘wall.’ The ‘wall’ is the personal displacement of concern or investment away from reality (or the influence of others). The film represents radical political tendencies. The politics of ‘Pink’s realm must wholly shift in order to align with his intentions.

The Neo-Nazi imagery embodies the essentially radical tendencies of the film. The Wall doesn’t fixate on politics itself, rather on politics as one of the many negative influences on the personal life on one particular individual, ‘Pink.’ Whether he would be rid of the influence of his societies politics, or be at the head of a radical independent faction, he does not engage with real politics as an issue. Thus, the film is not political in nature, as may be one’s first impression given the imagery used, but rather it is personal and emotional.
