"Tommy, The Who: A Tour through their different Incarnations "Perhaps it is a well known film, but if the soundtrack (The Who), is the first rock opera, with performances very good ... from R & B edge to rock operas and rock anthems from the 70s, The Who have prevailed through the decades as one of the best rock bands of all time.
Destilando energy and chaos of rock and roll to its purest form, they became a unit whose individual personalities fused to form an International astronomical dimensions. This is an exploration of the rock opera Tommy, The Who, which tells the story of this with pieces representative of their various incarnations (original album symphonic, film, musical theater).
But also illustrates how the Rock has evolved, from being a series of songs by young rioters and protesters, until it is positioned within, and the height of one of the quintessential conservative institutions such as musical theater.
A scan through the most representative of the many incarnations of Tommy, The Who, is as follows:
Listing:
1. The Who's "Overture"
2. The Who "1921"
3. The Who "Amazing Journey"
4. The Who "Christmas" 
5. Ann Margaret & Kieth Moon "Do You Think it's Alright?"
6. Tina Turner "Acid Queen"
7. Elton John "Pinball Wizard"
8. London Symphony Orchestra "Underture"
9. Original Broadway Cast "Go to the Mirror"
10. Original Broadway Cast "Smash the Mirror"
11. Original Broadway Cast "I'm Free"
12. Original Broadway Cast "Tommy's Holyday Camp"
13. Original Broadway Cast "Sally Simpson"
14. Original Broadway Cast "Sally Simpson's Question"
15. Original Broadway Cast "We're Not Gonna Take It"
16. Original Broadway Cast "See Me, Feel Me/Listening to You"
The movie is a real paranoia. Tina Turner Acid Queen making (which is pulled when a teenager Tommy to do a man), Jack Nicholson making specialist doctor - singing Smash The Mirror! - (One of the strengths), Eric Clapton making preacher in a kind of church where "Jesus Christ" is Marilyn Monroe, Elton John embodying the Wizard of Pinball (Pinball Wizard singing backed by Townshend, Moon and Entwhistle), Keith Moon making Uncle Ernie (Uncle Tommy's, the mad pederast) and so on. All this added to the good performance of the players: Roger Daltrey, who embroiders his role as Tommy, and mother (Ann-Margret) and her eccentric boyfriend (Oliver Reed). And all of it laden with symbolism and paranoid groups. Okay, I was surprised and shocked, and entertained me greatly. Relating this film with another made from a concept album, I prefer the Wall. But nevertheless, it has a good grade for my taste, Ken Russell and company Lo Curro much, and we must keep in mind that this 30 years ago.
Tommy, we see symbolically infantile psychosis. Tommy
film reflects the dynamics of a psychotic child, specifically Tommy is an autistic child.
The film begins with a couple who love each other, and that subsequently goes to war and that is where he died, when she was pregnant with Tommy. He will be born without knowing it.
The day comes, we see that in-town celebration, peace, and the mother does not, cry, sad, remembering her husband's death.
few years after attending a camp, here the mother knows the director of the camp, which establishes a relationship and tell Tommy that "shall be a father, and uncle will not go through." A child
no surrogate parents, uncle serves as such, or stepfather, but not father, set aside or strike out the existence of the father or another person on the genogram graphically, is that no one is lost person but a wide range, including part of the family. If you put someone else in that place, the place of father, stepfather, and not be on the genogram, but superimposed as a parent and not as empty, as a father who did not know, would be symbolized as a signifier has the ability to demonstrate an absence, even if it is dead or is a child "illegitimate" when someone claims something is calling for significant, significant demand, a stepparent is a stepfather, not a father, although this is the best person in the world, places are not replaced. What happens in a psychotic child is that demand, and demand is always a signifier, this significant demand and no significant to answer, Father. (Foreclosure)
One night Tommy witnesses the primal scene, to go to the mother's room, there is a mother in full sexual intercourse with this man that Tommy is still unknown, this man went over the image of the father, even here, Tommy sees his father, and thus the "uncle" killed the memory of his father.
The mother says, "... I do not hear, did not see it ..." referring to what he had witnessed Tommy, not to tell anyone.
Now Tommy "... deaf, blind and mute, has nothing to say, nothing to say ...". Tommy
unconscious in his dialogue repeatedly calls his mother "... Feel me, touch me, heal me, see me, feel me, touch me, heal me ...". and she asked, "Tommy can you hear me?", the mother is interested in their complacency, the mother sets libidinally psychopath that will meet your needs, your child is, when the mother first meets the needs or prayers Tommy that listens and listens, this is cured.
When Tommy has his first sexual relationship, is a symbolism, this is to see a robot, a kind of shell, which then opens and is empty, he goes inside, is full of syringes, ap t seems the
image of the father, then laughs, is presented "Jesus' blood and body after snakes. Here we have the strength empty as in the case of Bruno Bettelheim Joey, describes it as a small robot, which seems driven by remote controls, like a robot inhabited by a total despair, is a "child machine" only has a presence when to stop working and totally devoid of life. And Joey tirelessly disarming and arming a fan and this activity is developing with an amazing ability for a child of that age, like Tommy had ability, but to play "pinball." Tommy when left with his cousin Kevin, we see that dissociates front of the mirror into two parts, then there is a further disintegration of the self when left with Uncle Ernie is an alcoholic, that the "Bumble" We are facing a disorganized I decays, we can compare the fragmentation a puzzle that is disarmed, it is the body that is broken, nor is the visual representation, what happens is that dissociate the images of the body and the body schema, whose defense mechanisms are primitive massive projective identification and splitting . We can relate Dolto said by referring to the girl in the mirror, in the unconscious body image when he says that "it was terrible to see how this experience mirror, or rather of the mirrors, had dissociated and spread his being. And to think that at the beginning, parents were glad to believe that these multiple mirrors the fun. "
In the book Introduction to the work of Françoise Dolto, in Chapter 9 on Autism and psychosis in children, we find the following relationships to the film.
There are certain elements that are characteristic of children with autism, for example:
"Accidents discrete unspoken" in the film we see a grieving family that alters the climate, as is his father's death and is not spoken by the mother.
"Quit, be a thing abandoned," Tommy is a child abandoned by his mother, as we see in the film that she is only interested to be heard apart from the interest in listening to Tommy, and when Tommy heard that heals.
"The maternal postpartum depression, does not speak exactly Dolto autism income but in psychosis, in the film we see that on the day of birth was celebrated on the day of peace and she is still saddened by the death of her husband, or even looks at his newborn son.
To remove the child from autism not only have to reboot the media, which often produce no effect, but also with the child regain a trigger event, rediscover communication times of yesteryear and find out what happened at the time of rupture.
Autism is not innate but in most cases results from a breakdown in communication. Is a reactive process of adaptation to a test that affects the child's identity. A state traumatic miscarriage makes emotional and symbolic relationship with the mother, or sensory preventing the establishment of this relationship. " Autism is presented as breaking the narcissism of the subject, a false door in the symbolic relationship between the subject and body. Trauma to the body image are located at the level of the base image of the fetal stage or oral. Françoise Dolto
also mentions the installation of psychosis in children in connection with words that were heard early, too early, i
accomplice to a devaluation of the parents "god" and "goddesses" of fetal life, or relationships subsidiaries. The child may also alienate a significant (sometimes misunderstood). Speaks of "fruit anti - human" led by the psychotic, whose instincts will then deviate from the normal investment objects and consumed, about which we have the example that Tommy's mother tells him "... not heard, did not see it ... "referring to I had seen Tommy, not to tell anyone. Now Tommy "... deaf, blind and mute, has nothing to say, nothing to say ...".
