The Wall, Mindscapes, and Jungian Psychology
After listening to The Wall by Pink Floyd, I believe this album is being used to foreshadow the final conflict between Henry and Will. A battle between minds.
The Wall is a concept album exploring the emotional walls the character Pink puts up. Each traumatic event in his life is another brick in the wall. A wall of memories.
Pink is a tormented artist. His father was killed during WWII, leaving him with no father figure. His mother was overprotective. He isolated himself within his emotional walls. During a drug-induced hallucination onstage, he believed he was a fascist dictator. Once he came out of his hallucinations, he was racked with guilt and put himself on trial within his own mind. He reverted into a childlike version of himself and faced his violent adult self. This ended in him tearing down the wall, forcing himself to reckon with every part of himself as a punishment. It's a very Jungian ending of confronting the shadow.
