| 23 | !!Tropes associated with the director: |
| 24 | * CreatorBacklash: Parker admitted he didn't want to direct ''[[Music/TheWall Pink Floyd: The Wall]]''. The TroubledProduction where [[Music/PinkFloyd Roger Waters]] tried to WagTheDirector didn't help matters, leading Parker to describe the movie as "the most expensive student film ever made".[[note]]Waters acknowledges this in the DVD commentary, when Gerald Scarfe asks him about his relationship with Parker during the film and he responds, "''What'' relationship"?{[[/note]] |
| 25 | * CreatorKiller: The commercial and critical failure of ''Film/TheLifeOfDavidGale'' effectively ended Alan Parker's career. Despite various attempts he was unable to raise the necessary funding for any further projects and never directed again. In 2016, Parker officially announced his retirement from the film industry and died in 2020. |
