Outcome of the trial

I understand everything about the wall except at the very end. When the wall was torn down did that mean that he is now completely insane and probably dead? Or did it represent that he was comming back out of madness and into sanity?

Yah.....good question. And, I'm not sure if you are talking about in the movie sense, but I have a question concerning the movie, what is that kid doing after the wall is torn down? and who is he? any significance?

The kid is disposing of a Molotov cocktail, symbolic of Roger's wish for universal disarmament. (Bring The Boys Back Home)

Zep: the latter, i.e., Pink is rejoining the human race.

Roger himself said the bottle was a gasoline bomb and the kid was "disarming" it, therefore representing that the next generation might have a chance for world peace.

Likely Rog's use of a small boy doing so symbolizes a new generation of people who choose to solve problems without warfare.

And maybe not. What the hell do I know?

As zeppelin stated, if you really didn't know that a Molotov cocktail is indeed a crude incendiary bomb made of a bottle filled with flammable liquid and fitted with a rag wick

Yeah the movie really does ask you to look inside yourself as at somepoint we've all put up a wall inside us. I like to think that it is pink realising he needs to work at becoming a human again but that the end song represents the fact that it will be a long journey.

Some people think the title song on "The Final Cut" is an extension of the story, tying up the loose end of what happens to Pink's marriage etc. But I don't think so.

It's an amazing song nevertheless, i saw you making the interesting choice of making it your less fave TFC song. Could you explain why?

I think the music is quite corny, I like the lyrics though.
