Pink Floyd - In the Flesh / Run Like Hell / Waiting for the Worms (Pink Floyd: The Wall) ©1982 Artist: Pink Floyd Song: In the Flesh / Run Like Hell / Waiting for the Worms Pink Floyd: The Wall Pink Floyd: The Wall is a 1982 British live-action/animated psychological drama musical film directed by Alan Parker, based on Pink Floyd’s 1979 album of the same name. Director: Alan Parker Writer: Roger Waters Cast: Bob Geldof as Pink Later in the movie the reprise is used in a similar way as in the album, picking up shortly after Pink’s transformation into the Dictator. The song is one of the most radically changed among movie versions, having been converted to an orchestral piece. The Dictator questions the loyalty of the fans, while setting his dogs against the “queers“ and “coons“ he singles out. As the song ends, the crowd’s chant of “Pink Floyd!“ is replaced with “Hammer“, invoking the film motif of hammers. In addition, both Pink and the crowd display the “Hammer“ salute, arms crossed in front of the chest at the wrists like a pair of crossed hammers. In addition, the “Crossed Hammer“ logo can be seen everywhere. The song immediately segues into “Run Like Hell“. In the film adaptation, Pink directs his jackbooted thugs to attack the “riff-raff“ mentioned in the previous song, in which he ordered them to raid and destroy the homes of queers, Jews, and black people. One scene depicts an interracial couple cuddling in the back seat of a car when a group of neo-Nazis accost them, beating the boy and raping the girl. The imagery features a live action segment with some teenagers (the same ones from “In the Flesh?“) trampling over a rag doll replica of Pink. He then shouts through a megaphone while his followers march through the street. Following the images of the fascist crowd, the screaming face and the fascist bashing a man’s skull from “What Shall We Do Now?“, a dog biting meat off a hook then consumed by a larger one (from the Animals tour), and the famous goose-stepping hammer sequence, we see Pink yell “Stop“.
