Tommy 4K 1975

I remember the first time I watched 'Tommy', I was 14 years old at the time. At that time I found the music too complex and incomprehensible, but even then I was struck by the vivid psychedelic images.

I watched 'Tommy' for the second time recently and found the movie profound, which perfectly reflects the spirit of the 60s.

The movie (I can't call it a musical) touches on many themes, it's multi-layered, the themes of parents suppressing a child in the family and then the child goes into the inner world of fantasies, pacifism and love with psychedelics, attitude to mass culture expressed in the symbolism of pop art, everyone will find something different.

This movie and the rock opera of the same name 'The Who' are perhaps as important to Western culture as 'Yellow Submarine'. The influence of 'Tommy' is still visible today, in the movie 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' Jim Carrey's character wears a 'Tommy' t-shirt.

The music in the movie is epic, cyclical, with complex harmonies, something between rock and roll and classical music, and will appeal to those who grew up on the music of the 60s and early 70s.

What to say, those who consider themselves rockers will surely watch this movie and most likely it will be interesting, because the movie has everything that is called the philosophy and spirit of rock.
