Production hiccups stand to stilt a piece that can only be described as "innovative."

It clearly came to him in a dream; I can tell above all else that this work was truly born of passion. To deal in such a new way with the concept of pain and endings, we can see the pain in Magnuson. It leads us to wonder what it was in his own life that pressed him to make such a film. 

The film had a concept, that was evidently clearer to Magnuson than his viewers. In an act in stark contrast to selling out, Magnuson made this movie for him. The cost of that is that it appears muddled and confused to the public. This being said I can not highly rate a film that I did not completely understand. The Wall has errors, and low quality props and technical missteps, and these are the films main detractors. The signs on the wall look amateurish, and bring down the film. The lead's hair changes and his shirt is inside out, and perhaps this represents something, but to the audience it appears sloppy.

Overall, The Wall is impressive for Magnuson's age and experience, and I am curious to see what else will come of his career.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
