Movie Title: Tommy Tommy is available for streaming or downloading. |
As the five-star rating would show, I’ve loved TOMMY sincethe day it opened (and yes, I was there for its premiere) . I’ve alsopurchased the movie in unbiased about every incarnation that have been released: videotape, laserdisc, and now DVD.
What’s most challenging about the DVD version — and something which doesn’t seem to have been mentioned in other Amazon reviews — is that the soundtrack to the film has been completely restored. “Quintaphonic sound” may sound a miniature funny and may not even mean grand in this age of digital sound, but TOMMY was the movie that saw the rebirth of multi-channel audio (most films of the unhurried 60s and early 70s were either mono or 2-channel stereo) . The enhanced 5-channel discrete sound was a perfect extension of Ken Russell’s dauntless visuals. The note line to the movie was “Your senses will never be the same,” and it perfectly described both the visual AND aural assault on audience members.
Well, this DVD is the first (and only) format to feature the complete “Quintaphonic” soundtrack. If you have a Dolby Digital decoder, you’re going to hear the movie in a plot that wasn’t even possible assist in 1975! All of the vocals are locked lifeless center while the net itself blasts out of the remaining four speakers. And there’s absolutely no distortion, even when you jack the volume up (which you should, since it was intended to be heard that blueprint) . It’s a amazing – and quite unexpected – thrill to hear the movie this procedure. Previous editions had absolutely poor audio tracks that were poorly mixed down from the originals. The result — even on the laserdisc — was a muddy mess. Not so with this DVD edition, which includes a written essay insert explaining the soundtrack’s restoration.

The narrate quality is also outstanding. One key moment: during the blackout allotment of “Fiddle About” the camouflage is absolutely sunless — not a speck can be seen, proof that this film was carefully transferred from a pristine source print!
This is an wonderful film presented on an wonderful DVD. If your home system isn’t yet able to decode the Dolby Digital soundtrack, do yourself a favor and gather a decoder at the same time you purchase this disc. You won’t be sorry.
I’d warn the neighbors first, though!
Having heard about Tommy for years, I felt it was time to actually notice the movie. I had never acquired great of a sense for what the movie is about, probably because I don’t believe it is really possible to actually clarify the film to anyone else. This is some elegant uncommon stuff. As the thing progressed, I had a hard time figuring out if I liked what I was seeing, whether it made any sense, etc. In the ruin, I must say I did luxuriate in the film, thanks largely to Daltrey, the music, and Ann-Margaret. What does it all mean? That’s a toughie, as I’m definite the memoir means different things to different people. I had the sense that Tommy is supposed to be some kind of spiritual experience, and in some ways it is – maybe.

Here’s my ridiculously oversimplified summary of the basic tale. As a kid, Tommy is messed up graceful obedient, having witnessed something dazzling dramatic; as a result, he becomes deaf, blind, and calm – for psychological rather than physical reasons. His mother (Ann-Margaret) and step-father try all kinds of unfamiliar cures as Tommy enters what should be his adulthood, including a visit to the holy rollers at a church that worships Marilyn Monroe and a special session with “The Acid Queen” (Tina Turner) . Nothing seems to pick up through to him – until, of course, he happens to approach across a pinball machine. Truly, that deaf, humdrum, and blind kid certain plays a mean pinball, knocking the novel pinball wizard (Elton John) off his pedestal. Suddenly, Tommy’s family is rolling in the money, yet Tommy remains uncommunicative. When he does eventually collect “awareness,” he is transformed into a messiah figure, and crowds flock to him to hear his wisdom.
The film gets off to a exquisite tedious open, as we follow Tommy’s childhood. Then Tina Turner enters the record as The Acid Queen, and she forevermore gets the joint jumping with her electric performance. Other memorable performers include Eric Clapton, Elton John, and Jack Nicholson (who does in fact voice here) . Ann-Margaret tops all of them with her performance, though, earning an Academy Award nomination for her work. It’s a demanding role; alongside the acting and singing, she also has to roll around in a chocolatey, gooey mess. She may have been a petite older in 1975, but Ann-Margaret definitely mild had it.

The boys from the band pop in from time to time, but the memoir is increasingly focused on Tommy, his awakening, and his cult following. Some really positive representations of Christianity are incorporated into the film, while, at the same time, greed and materialism are also spotlighted as fake gods. Ultimately, though – thanks to a problematic ending -it is hard for me to discern the message that the filmmakers were actually trying to communicate here. I’ve heard that The Who’s novel album makes some of the more esoteric aspects of the Tommy anecdote a minute clearer.
Obviously, some individuals will not like this film at all; it’s sort of an acid scramble on film, vague and unsettling with its symbolism and discernible criticisms of organized religion. Others may score enlightenment of one sort or another. Most people, including me, will probably impartial leer at this as a outlandish but oddly lively musical that leaves you scratching your head a small bit after you seek it. Of course, even if the narrative loses you completely, you detached have plenty of mountainous music from The Who to sit abet and savor.
