A hotel manager called Moon in his room and asked him to lower the volume on his cassette recorder because it made "too much noise." In response the drummer asked him up to his room, excused himself to go to the bathroom, put a lit stick of dynamite in the toilet and shut the bathroom door. Upon returning, he asked the manager to stay for a moment, as he wanted to explain something. Following the explosion, Moon turned the recorder back on and said, "That, dear boy, was noise.

Watching this movie as a kid I had no idea this song was about a dude being molested by his uncle. Being an adult and having multiple friends and acquaintances tell me stories of how family members touched them and finding out it a huge common thing is crazy. Watching this video today didn’t feel the same as a kid in the 80s watching it on cable tv 😔
Same here bruh! Saaame here 💔🥲😳 I was never to be the same when I got to the age of getting to REALLY know the NASTY HURTFUL SECRETS family’s keep, to PROTECT the PERP! It’s criminal how society ALLOWS our children to SUFFER, have their ENTIRE CHILDHOODS snuffed out from underneath them because some SICKO felt the need to INCLUDE innocent CHILDREN in their few minutes of DISGUSTING EVIL PERVERTED PLEASURES. These people miss a conscience ~ not sure what was done to THEM to have created a monster such as them… did THEY have an uncle Ernie? 🥲💔
Yeah Pete Townshend was very open about it in his interviews... then he got pinned for "searching for kidpr0n" later in life.. clearly it is a sad thing that leaves lasting scars, but people basically cancelled him for that.
I know right? I never understoon this segment as a kid. The first time I watched as an adult. I... was... TRAUMATIZED... I had to to sit in the corner and shake for a while. 😵💫
Now I understand why there are ratings for movies. My brother and I saw Tommy in 1975 at a Saturday after movie (I was 8). I didn't sleep for a week afterward.
I wouldn't leave a bag of dog doodie with Uncle Ernie. Still, could you imagine Keith Moon vs Oliver Reed in a drinking contest? It would be a battle of who hated their liver more. Ollie was prolific, but Keith gave zero Fs whatsoever. Also, I don't think they planned on casting Keith as Uncle Ernie, I think he just showed up in his usual state and they just filmed it.
I wonder if Reed’s smack on Ms Margaret’s butt was improvised? One of the women I worked with looked like Ann Margaret at this point in her life. “Jane” also had Swedish blood.
I never got ANY of this seeing this as a kid on HBO waaaaaaaaaaay back in the day. Never understood the panting. Then, I became an adult... and I watched it... and got it. Seeing it in cable as an adult seriously traumatized me... I ended up buying the DVD. 🤣

Same here. Saw her in Grumpy Old Men or something first and found her just annoying. Here she shows her amazing talent, does a better job than Oliver Reed imo.
People keep pointing to the pedophilia angle of this scene. No. 1) Roger Daltrey is “older” than Keith Moon. No. 2) It’s not clear how old Tommy is where this scene happens in the original album, but in the film, during this scene, Tommy is an adult. His “uncle” apparently isn’t molesting him because of his age but of his disability.
There is something absolutely infectious about Keith's demented energy here despite the disturbing nature of the song and scene. Dude coulda been a great actor or voice actor elsewhere.
I love how Moon has so much fun in this role playing a pedophile, then has to act normal as Oliver Reed comes in... and Moon just reacts with a nonchalant expression when the paper's set ablaze.
Fun fact if you close your eyes while watching this and picture a hyena on laughing gas you get a more subtle performance than what keith moon is actually doing
My guitar teacher wrote me a chart for this song a few weekends ago. I noticed the lyrics were questionable. That chart was the first I’d heard of this song so I came here to listen
...many here see the humourous aspects of this scene, but for 1974, this...was....DARK! ...It's alluding to a LOT of per-verse situations / actions, that aren't normally discussed....(cont.) 1. Uncle Ernie 'flashes' Tommy (who can't see), gives him the permission to act on his per-version(s) (1:27)...... 2. Uncle Ernie has MULTIPLE fet-ish-es, which he carries around in his 'Bag of Tricks'...(1:57)... 3. ...and although Oliver Reed's character KNOWS Uncle Ernie 'did' something, the 'light' (3:01) indicates that he'll put the HEAT on him, if it gets out...... 4. ...and the best (yet, most unnoticed) part; Keith's EYES in the final shot (3:24); Uncle Ernie (tearfully) feels guilty for what he did, & knows he has a 'problem'.....yet, can't help HIMSELF......much, like KEITH.........
It's to be threatening. Frank was hoping to catch Ernie in the act but only found the aftermath. Frank is implying you're lucky it was only the paper I set fire to, next time it will be you instead.

Shortly before this film was made, Keith and Oliver Reed became good friends. They had quite a bit in common.
But Moon ended up out drinking Ollie Reed

They used the egg because there was no rhubarb left, makes sense to me on a Tuesday.

They just leave him with anyone
Too drunk, and filled with self loathing to care
Oliver Reed thinks it's alright though
They were obviously too self absorbed to really care about tommy
Keith plays a creepy uncle pretty well
Uncle is just the name given to a family friend. Not a blood relative at all.
He can be my creepy uncle

Same here. Saw her in Grumpy Old Men or something first and found her just annoying. Here she shows her amazing talent, does a better job than Oliver Reed imo.

Apparently, I've heard that on the album, Tommy is supposed to be around 10, so it could still be taken from that angle
Ann Magret is only a few years older than Roger Daltrey. It was set in 1921 on the record, but in the film, it is 1951.
Keep calm and understand fiction.
It doesn't really matter. Uncle ernie is a perv in every possible way, and Keith mastered the role.

Reading a biography of Keith Moon "Dear boy"just got up to the chapter of the making of Tommy him and Ollie got on well.
Keith moon was absolutely one of the greatest drummers ever . My dad he was one of the craziest drummers like an octopus. Moon the loon
The fact that Keith Moon did this scene frightens me
Pretty normal behaviour for Keith LOL

You’re right! The hyena was ten times more subtle!

Why was Ernie drinking something with a raw egg in it?

Thing is Oliver Reid's character doesn't return in real life, disappointed his character was portrayed as protecting Tommy in this scene.

Ah... it was a different time then...🤣🤣🤣👍🏴
What exactly is burning the newspaper supposed to show him?
I think to scare him
It shows him, paper is fun to burn
I see it as a signifier of his guilt, since the fire doesn't actually touch the paper. Also, Moon's look at the end is guilty af.
Its to show him that he's not falling for his bullshit and knows he was up to something "fiddly".
It's to be threatening. Frank was hoping to catch Ernie in the act but only found the aftermath. Frank is implying you're lucky it was only the paper I set fire to, next time it will be you instead.
