Plot Assumptions: Album vs. Movie
[edit]The plot summary section of the article appears to combine elements from the movie that are not necessarily attributable to the album without a separate source to back it. For instance, the first sentence claims that Pink (the character) is imagining the audience from "In the Flesh?", but there is no reason to believe that it is not a real concert that Pink is performing at (in either the audio of the album or additional context added by the live concert performance). How can ambiguity in interpretation be succinctly added to this article? Cleophelps64 (talk) 17:50, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
In The Pink?
[edit]An observation; nowhere, on the original album release, is the narrative character referred to as “Pink”, no lyric reference, nothing on the artwork, etc. There’s no argument that during the concept phase he may have been called “Pink”, and indeed during the film, his childhood friends call him “Pinky”. But, aside from the fleshy pink human / doll laying on the ground on the album cover art, there’s no actual identification of “Pink”. The name, is also a carry over from the song “Have A Cigar”, “Oh, by the way, which one is Pink?” ( A joke about the days when the band got tired of explaining their name, to unconcerned studio heads.) 75.106.32.81 (talk) 18:21, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- In "In the flesh", he calls himself Pink.

- AH! There’s the rub! Well spotted! I’ve listened to the album since it came out, and completely forgot THAT reference! ( Forgetting, possibly, that Pink suffered from multiple personality problems, as well.) 75.106.32.81 (talk) 18:44, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
