Response:   I have to agree with this, lets just say you have to be in an
inebriated state and a major who fan to fully appreciate many of the visuals
and subliminal things in the Tommy movie.  Simply because of the overload of
visuals and almost "hyper"  montage style he( ken Russell) uses. But i
wouldnt go as far as putting dark side of the moon on your stereo and
watching Tommy behind it.
