2:35 - When I was a kid my dad would watch this movie all the time on VHS (still does on DVD occasionally), and during that shot with Tommy running on the lava, me and my sister would go "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
I think The Who and the Tommy album are amazing, but even as kids we thought this movie was kind of cheesy.
I'm probably the youngest person to ever visit this video -.-
Fourteen FTW!
but i still say that bands like this is what i grew up to, and this new bubble gum pop shit just gets old and repetitive, so i'll stick to my classics :)
@klinsmeier Yes, he was sportive and healthy. He was always against the abuse of alcohol and drugs. Very strange in someone of his generation. I think that's why he looks so good nowadays
I have on ebay an item that maybe of interest to all you Who fans, it is a film prop that was actually used in the film Tommy it's a placard that was used in the Tommy's holiday camp scene. Auction ends on16 Nov, 201018:52:23 GMT.
I was privileged enough to see the WHO live in 1976/7 at Stafford Bingley Hall I thought they are probably the best pop band in the world. I was right !
@TheMoonLightOwl Yes, Lennon was in the United States the entire time "Tommy" was filmed in 1974. He was having an issue with his passport at the time. I don't even think the guy in the car looks all that much like Lennon.
@TheMoonLightOwl yeah this is one film I do know quite a bit about :) Pick it up on blu-ray if you can...the new digital restoration (which I have already seen) is nothing short of spectacular. Sept. 7th is the release date.
Hoy nos pasaron la pelicula en la clase de arte, y no mames, que pelicula tan mas bizarra. Osea, esta muy bien realizada, las actuaciones son perfectas y la musica sensacional. Pero la historia esta medio locochona.
I still remember seeing this for the first time in the theater. I never was the same. Still love The Who and Roger. He still rocks at 66, still has the stage presence and charisma that he has always had.
Woods sequence with soldiers filmed in woods near A 3 in petersfield as was another sequence I believe featuring Hells Angels , other sequence with parked cars filmed on Southsea Sea Front. I havent got this film in my collection (sadly) an all time total classic , lurve it !!!
If I had to picture absolute freedom from everything that ties us down or holds us back it would look like this, I've always liked how Daltrey just screams "I'm free" in this version of the song, it's just powerful!
Thanks for posting! Probably my second favorite part of the whole movie. I actually saw this in theaters as a kid and it introduced me to one of my (still favorite) bands of all time... of course most of the movie confused the hell outta me and my older brother. :)
john didn't die until around the 80's this movie was made in '75. im pretty sure that is john lennon though, i know phil specter was said to be in one of the cars
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmmmmmmmmmmm free! iiiimmmm free! and freedom tastes of reality!! ive told you what it takes to reach the highest hieghts. you, laugh and say nothings that simple, but youve been told many times before messiah pointed to the door no one had the guts to leave the temple
Tommy is the best. I grew up on the who and the beatles and led zeppelin and all those great bands. i know every song off by heart ,what order they are in, and how long they are! this movie rocks
Yeah I totally agree man. This song is so fresh. And all the bands you grew up with were at the leading edge. Still are. ps wish Roger Daltrey would grow his hair long again, he still looks young enough.
me too even though im only 23 my mum MADE me listen to the who (as shes always been a huge fan) and im glad she did. ive been a fan since i was about 3 and i hope to impart my love for the who (and the beatles) to my kids. hopefully itll have the same effect x
I'm doing the same for my own 3 year old... who's already a huge bears fan. she yells go bears no matter who's playing. I guess this years superbowl will be a great opportunity for her to tune in as they're playing the halftime show!
i have the original tommy album, but i would like the soundtrack from this movie, meaning it would have eric clapton, jack nicholson, elton john, this version of "im free" etc,
this scene is meant to symbolized baptism and rebirth. Notice how the first thing he sees is the light above, and how he is in the water wearing all white
Does anyone notice the last car at the beach that tommy runs you see a red car with a guy wearing orange, a kid in yellow, and than there's a guy in red.. holding his chin on his hands...YUP! That was John Lennon!
well DUH its a movie, an exageration. No one would get healed by pinball. No such thing as the Acid Queen. Its a movie! like the wall, and other rock albums.
wait, so your telling me, that your gay ass little brother was deaf dumb and blind. then smashed into a mirror and was magically cured, then he ran to vietnam back in the 1970's did a barrel roll, then ran across a parking lot. Then ran even further who fell into a green screen from hell and was all set to this song. God damn it your brother is fucking cool. Next time, explain your fucking logic dipshit.
Yeah but he looks great for his age dont you think? Roger was born in 1924 making him 51 when this piece of film was made. He is 84 today. Amazing, truely amazing.
