(101,146 posts)34. You are trying to conflate war and the character's personal problems
From #4: "Waters argues that the wars of the 20th century (the bloodiest century in human history), were a direct result of dramatic changes in gender relations in Western societies". "The Wall" is Pink's personal wall. His mother contributes to it.
The ending lyric of "Happiest Days of Our Lives" can equally be the children's view of their teachers not being all-powerful after all. Yes, Young Lust is about sex; I said so above. But it's not about war, and it's not saying that sex causes societal problems. Again, it's about one character's problems. If you think "the movie is almost entirely about gender relations", you're blinded by your obsession.
