Continuity mistake: Just after Tommy sings under the waterfall (completely soaked) he climbs out the top and emerges completely dry.
Tommy (1975)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Ken Russell
Starring: Jack Nicholson, Ann-Margret, Oliver Reed, Roger Daltrey, Tina Turner, Elton John
Tommy has nothing physically wrong with his eyes and ears. His blindness and deafness is caused by a mental block, the result of seeing his father being murdered in the mirror when he was a child. When the mirror is broken, Tommy's senses are restored. Tommy sets up a holiday camp where people can play pinball wearing earplugs and eyeshades, so they can experience what he did - and, he hopes, feel the same wonder about being able to see and hear. But the people reject him and smash up the camp, so Tommy goes off on his own to look at the beauty of the world.

Trivia: Ann-Margret plays Roger Daltrey's mother in the movie, even though in real life she's only three years older than him.
