Well, within the context of this show, it’s “Pigs (One).” It’s just the pig, the awful Trump.īut in the original thing, who were they? I don’t know. The dick image is shown during “Pigs (Three Different Ones).” What did that song mean to you when you wrote it and what does it mean to you now? Or it would be if it wasn’t for the fact he’s conspiring to destroy the United States brick by brick. Anyway, whatever, it’s silly to waste breath on Trump. I think that’s important to point that out because he clearly is infantile and he almost certainly has got a tiny dick. Did you ever get sick of seeing house-sized pictures of him on the tour? There’s a lot of Trump imagery in the film. I must have done something right that these young, young people are responding to work that I created when I was 74 years old.” It’s moving. There’s one woman in the film who is singing along with the second verse in “Déjà Vu” - I can’t remember which line - but she’s got a little tear running down her cheek.
US AND THEM PINK FLOYD FULL
“I’m proud of anybody who allows themselves to be moved by the idea that human beings acting collectively to make each other’s lives more full of love is something worth fighting for.”ĭo you feel like the message of the tour reached people in the way you intended? When he watched the concert footage, though, he was stunned to see the emotion on the faces of his fans in the close-up shots. He was worried during the editing process since the film was too long, so he decided to cut the nightly encore “Comfortably Numb” since “it’s an appendage added to the end of the thing,” and he and Evans focused their cut to show more of the story of the woman featured in the visuals for his Is This the Life song “The Last Refugee.” “I think the film benefits greatly from that,” he says.
“I’m glad the film turned out to have a humane and political message,” Waters tells Rolling Stone. Us + Them, which contains footage from the tour’s stop in Amsterdam last year, will screen around the world this week.ħ0 Greatest Music Documentaries of All Time
US AND THEM PINK FLOYD MOVIE
The movie overwhelms both in subject matter and presentation - the theater shakes with the bass in the Dolby Atmos mix - and you can see how the show affected the audiences that came to see the tour. This is the message he highlights - along with all the hit songs - in the new film Us + Them, which he co-directed with longtime collaborator Sean Evans.
Throughout the performance, he used his screens to tell the stories of refugees fleeing their homelands and warlords abusing power. So he combed the Pink Floyd catalogue for songs like “Us and Them,” “Pigs,” and “Money” that spoke to today’s social ills and paired them with selections from his recent LP, Is This the Life We Really Want? Because he’s Roger Waters, he supersized his message with stunning visuals like a video wall that divided arena audiences and showed satirical takedowns of Donald Trump, and he closed each evening with a laser pyramid and rainbow light array that harkened back to the cover of Dark Side of the Moon.īut these multimedia touches weren’t just eye candy.
