Tommy is actually about a boy with autism. One of the first instances of autism in popular media, literally the first back in the 70s.

Do autists really coincide with the hysterically blind?
I thought those were two different things.

Really? I never really took it that way, especially listening to the album. I guess Daltrey's "duh" face should have given it away through the first part of the movie.

Here's a link to a patched-together version of the movie, if anybody has the spare time to give it a watch.
I wonder if the band's held up at all.
The music is obvously great. Oliver Reed is a cool dude. But the movie was kinda meh, to be honest.

Some parts are obviously just to have fun cameos and make the plot drag.
