Tom Bergere Nobody has ever heard or seen aliens either but a lot of people believe they exist. It’s the same with god nobody has ever seen or heard god but most of the people on earth belong to different religious groups.
@@carmstrong6507 The closest I ever came to believe in God was believing in Santa Clause and that was very short-lived. I was the kid in school debunking this absurd, Santa myth as being a fraud perpetrated by the grownups. Now, I debunk all superstitions, the supernatural, paranormal, metaphysical, mythological, magical, mystical, fairy tale, bs, of every kind. For some odd reason, I take offense at being lied to. I`d like to say, "When I see it, I`ll believe it!", but I doubt it, it is more likely that I would be hallucinating.
@@mojopin1997 I'm used to him in it and he sounds better than Nicholson 😂 but when I listen to the original album I prefer Daltrey or Townsend on most tracks except Acid Queen and Pinball Wizard. Tina and Elton owned those, but then again they were real Rock n Roll singers
He must’ve been reeeeal pleasant and smelt wonderful. Hahaha. I can almost guarantee you that is real beer he is drinking. Cuz……you wanna be the guy on set to have to give him fake beer? Hahaha, those shots of him chugging are probably not even in the script.
@@madmadhatter It might not have been in the script, but how could anyone not chug a beer when working with THE WHO!?? I know Keith Moon was holding all kinds of European and Chinese goodies, lol! Merry Yul;e Solstice and Happy Saturnalia!
I have a tradition of watching Tommy every Christmas and listening to the original The Who album from 1969. An absolute masterpiece, all the songs tell such a story and the cast were incredible ✨
This kind of musical creativity has never been matched since and likely will never be again. However, from what I've observed in today's youth, that is to say, my children's and niece and nephew's generation, they are incredibly creative, but in different ways. Their creativity is expressed much more on RU-vid, Facebook, Instagram etc. as amazing videos, paintings, songs etc. that are like nothing I have ever seen before in those areas, among so many people. My kids are too young, but my niece sends me artwork that is stunning for a 12-year-old. Unlike us, they are also not at all freaked out about the pace of technological change; to them, it's just more of the same. So music like this is probably gone; creativity in other ways has never been seen on such a wide scale.
I remember that moment, his father scares him with a mask, the kid blinked. I first thought that was a blooper, but when he later gained his senses back, this moment flashed before him. Subtle but great.
My fav Christmas song by the stunningly gorgeous Ann-Margret. Love everything about her. Hair, makeup and red dress is flawless! Happy Christmas, eve!!
I love how The Who performed this whole album at Woodstock. Like what bands back in the day use to do.. like we have this whole rock opera we just wrote, it's pretty good, we're gonna perform it for you .. 15 bucks. LOL. It's so good in the Woodstock version. See me feel me is headbanging heavy shit. Long live the Counter Culture!
Well, not all of it, they didn't play Underture, Cousin Kevin, Sensation and Welcome; and they altered the order of some tracks. But yeah, there's a reason Tommy is considered the first Rock Opera, it came a full decade before Pink Floyd's The Wall.
Both Ann-Margret and Tina Turner, "the acid queen" together could start an earthquake if they were ever to get out and "get it all together, baby!" in one single location. Those two voices could stop falling missiles trying to harm us also. "Theatrical Energy"... gotta love it, well, when it works.
Oliver Reeds character reminds me of my ex-stepdad in this scene, always with a beer in his hand, my mum and I always giggle at this scene because of this 🤣
I always post this to my Facebook timeline at Christmastime in a cheeky sort of way and yet taken out of context this looks like a quite pleasant Christmas party for the first minute or so. You almost wish Tommy and his parents would just go home.😄
'Tommy: The Movie' had its Los Angeles premiere at Mann's Wilshire Theater 48 years ago! (March 19, 1975) My own mother took me there with my 2 sisters to watch it, she needed to know if I remembered being violently, humiliatingly raped by 4 men while she had held me for them as I screamed and pleaded... and prayed. I didn't back then. I only started suddenly and very vividly recalling the horror in full detail on March 17, 2021. It will be 2 years in another week and I am that far into the sad, tormenting process of self-healing myself. My sweet mother who I still honestly love and feel sorry for lives in Texas without a care in the world. But I know she doesn't love me as much as I once thought she did. I could put her in prison if I spoke up about all she did to me. I was "born unloved". Then, I became a form of "TOMMY". A worse one than Roger got to 'play', too. My life make so much more sense now though. They told our whole world what had happened and not to say anything, but they could mess with my heart and head any fun way they wanted because I was "broken" and I was "polluted!". I was a fun toy and didn't even know it because my brain protected me from remembering a very, very bad traumatic thing. I wasn't just violently raped. That was the day my family I loved let me know they never loved me and never would either. I was only 8 years old. My sisters were there to have sex with the men so we could move into a new apartment of our own. But then it got crazy. I meant crazier. My family still has their fun playing 'evil' but the world thinks they're sweet and innocent. Why does love have to torment and hurt so much? But I do still love my family. They're just sick, is all. They've been as deaf, dumb and blind as Tommy and me. Maine said to say "Hello" for it and hopes you are doing well and good. Live well, Laugh often, Love much. In all things give thanks because it could always be even worse. I'll "Have a nice day" if you promise you'll have one also...........................................(✝💔✝)
I know in the original album and musical, Captain Walker kills Frank which works great cause Tommy thought Frank was his father and watching him die puts him in the catatonic state. Although I like how in the movie it’s the other way around. Cause it gives an interesting layer to Nora having a dysfunctional marriage to frank and making Nora the one who cares for Tommy the most.
