Well...It's nearly 5 am, and, I'm still up! While looking through my DVDs for something to watch....I came up with this one! Anyways, hope this is in the right place!
Anyone out there ever heard of/Seen 'Tommy'?
I think it's one of the best movies I've ever seen...
Based on a Rock Opera written by Pete Townshend of The Who, combine that, and Ken Russle's directing skills, and you've got...TOMMY!
You're senses will never be the same...
Quick Summary from me: When a young boy, 'Tommy' witnesses his father's (Robert Powell) death, caused by his Mother's lover, (Oliver Reed) he is told he 'Never heard it, Never seen it, and he won't say anything to anyone', by his mother (Ann-Margret), and her lover...Because of this, the boy becomes 'Deaf, Dumb, and Blind'. He's taken to the Acid Queen, (Tina Turner) when he's older (Now played as Roger Daltrey), and a specialist (Jack Nicholson). Shortly after this, Tommy discovers a Pinball machine, in a junk yard...This takes him to the 'Pinball Wizard' (Elton John). And, what's with Tommy's fascination with mirrors, if he can't see? Can Tommy win against the Pinball Wizard, and gain fame, fortune...And most of all...Can he get his senses back? Or, is he left as a deaf, dumb, and blind man, for the rest of his life?
yeah, I suck at summaries...But, I'm friggin' tired
-Gives the movie 4 3/4 out of 5 stars!-
