I cant make up my mind wether this picture is good or bad. Some cool looking visuals as well as some extremely dated(& bad )ones.
Mixed feelings...just basically a 2 hr. music video...but can one say it is an original "work of art", since it pre-dates the whole music video concept? (..as we know it?)
Yeah I know the movie is old news, but even after all these years I just recently watched it, gotta admit that Ken Russell has some talent
with visual images.
I liked the ending : Roger Daltry(Tommy) climbing the same mountain top his father stood on before he was born against the Who's music playing to it.
