It is a framework for your own mind. Forget watching the movie, get some headphones and close your eyes and listen to the music, about six times in a row, straight through then see how you feel. Free your mind Quaid

Sometimes I feel like "Eeeeew. Worms in his brain?" and the rest of the time it is "I want to change the song to something less depressing." Watching the movie has made the songs seem to fit together more but it still is not pleasant listening to the Wall. I'd just as soong have silence. There are a few exceptions, like Comfortably Numb.
I do like songs that have meanings and stir up emotions but the Wall just doesn't do it in the right way for me.
I can see why people would commit suicide to it, actually. If they were suicidal before I could see it pushing them over the edge. But I don't think it in itself would be powerful enough to get someone to do it if they were normal before.
