- Bassist Roger Waters wrote “Part 2” as a protest against rigid schooling, particularly boarding schools. “Another Brick in the Wall” appears in the film based on the album. In the “Part 2” sequence, children enter a school and march in unison through a meat grinder, becoming “putty-faced” clones, before rioting and burning down the school.
- “Another Brick in the Wall” is a three-part composition on Pink Floyd’s 1979 rock opera The Wall, written by bassist Roger Waters. “Part 2”, a protest song against corporal punishment, and rigid and abusive schooling, features a children’s choir. At the suggestion of producer Bob Ezrin, Pink Floyd added elements of disco.

A 1985 film directed by Terry Gilliam, depicting one man’s futile struggle against a futuristic (and heavily decayed) governmental bureaucracy, drawing very heavily on George Orwell’s 1984. Stakes a serious claim towards being the most definite and ghastly example of Executive Meddling in the entire history of cinema. If you’re not watching the director’s cut, you’re not watching the real thing.
