Question about "The Wall" by Pink Floyd

[Stratocaster]

I just bought the movie, and I have some questions about it.

1. Were the flowers having sex in the animation?
2. Whats really going on in another brick in the wall, with kids falling into a meat grinder?
3. How did he go from rock star to leader of the german army?

1 yes

2 Euphemism... the education system, taking fresh meat and cranking out a bland, tasteless sameness at the expense of individuality

3 allegory.... Roger Waters has always had delusions of grandeur when it comes to fronting a band

[Stratocaster]

wow thanks!

There is more to this than meets the eye. Listen to the lyrics,"we don't need no education." It's a double negative. The school kids are actually proclaiming their need for an education. Pink Floyd the thinking man's band.:rockon:
