I remember laughing hysterically, both out of the sheer awful-ness of the acting and the fact that Roger Daltrey appeared to get smacked around a lot (and i think there was one scene that we rewinded (yay VHS!) and watched over & over just to see Daltrey's head get hit in slow motion). <br><br>Bitches, man.

She wallows in her guilt and revels in it, because it allows her to be the cheating slut that she really is (hence, the pillow humping). And when the drunken sailor comes into the room, and it is again spotlessly virgin white, you realize it was all a hallucination. Did you notice the pure white carnations in the pinball-shaped vase? Those symbolize her salvation, which comes in the way of her son, Tommy, who is really a Christ-like symbol in the story. (Tommy gets a huge cult-like following but then his flock turns on him at the end).<br><br>You can analyze the film to death, but it still doesn't improve it. It is really quite hilariously bad. I mean "Rocky Horror" bad. It would be better if people started throwing baked beans at the screen during this scene.
