24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE (2002) - MOVIE REACTION - First Time Watching

24 Hour Party People is a 2002 British biographical comedy drama film about Manchester's popular music community from 1976 to 1992, and specifically about Factory Records. It was written by Frank Cottrell Boyce and directed by Michael Winterbottom. The film was entered into the 2002 Cannes Film Festival to positive reviews. It begins with the punk rock era of the late 1970s and moves through the 1980s into the rave and DJ culture and the "Madchester" scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The main character is Tony Wilson (played by Steve Coogan), a news reporter for Granada Television and the head of Factory Records. The narrative largely follows his career, while also covering the careers of the major Factory artists, especially Joy Division and New Order, A Certain Ratio, the Durutti Column and Happy Mondays.

LOVING the time! I know nothing about this movie but I will be there!

I voted for Touching the Void purely because I had seen it before...but I'm equally excited to watch this movie. I've heard a lot of good things about it. See you in the chat tomorrow 👋

Harvey Lee

Love letter to the Manchester music scene with so many great British actors , so looking forward to this Coby🖤🖤🖤🤘

Wally Hartshorn

Yay! Alas, I can’t attend the premiere (because I’ll be hosting our weekly board game night with friends), but I’ll be there in spirit!

John Ranson

Going to be a good challenge keeping up with all the extremely specific UK sub-cultural references in this one. Have fun!

I heard New Order before I knew about Joy Division. I think my first exposure was that 12-inch single of "Blue Monday", the one that they lost money on with every copy they sold. The sleeve looked like a floppy disk, and that was probably why I got it in the first place. Record players could play disks at 33 1/3 RPM (for albums) or at 45 RPM (for singles). I didn't realize that a 12-inch single was supposed to be played at 45 RPM. It was the size of an album, so I played it at 33 1/3 RPM. The sound was unlike anything I had ever heard before, a slow, driving beat -- "Thump! Thump! Thumpa-thumpa-thumpa-thumpa! Thump! Thump!" And the voice was deep, slow, and distorted, sort of an emo electronica sound before emo was a thing. It was amazing! I don't know how long I played it like that before I finally noticed that it was supposed to be played at 45 RPM. When I finally played it at the proper speed, I realized that it was actually an up-tempo dance beat. It completely changed the mood of the song, but it was still amazing! Annoyingly, I've no idea where my copy of "Blue Monday" is. I looked through my old vinyl albums, but it's not there. I suspect either my brother or my old college roommate has it now. Random trivia: * The actress who played his first wife was Shirley Henderson, who was "Moaning Myrtle," a ghost in the second Harry Potter movie, among other things. * Martin Hannett was played by Andy Serkis, who is best known for playing Gollum in The Lord of the Rings movies. * You saw Simon Pegg's name in the credits, but didn't remember who he played in the movie. He was the journalist at Ian's funeral, the one that Tony says should write a book about it. * The little person who was the zookeeper washing the elephant was Kenny Baker, best know as the actor inside the R2D2 costume in the original Star Wars movies. * The homeless man who quotes Boethius was played by Christopher Eccleston, who was the 9th Doctor Who. * John the Postman was played by Dave Gorman, which probably won't mean anything to you unless you've seen his stage show, called "Are You Dave Gorman?". * You've probably figured it out by now, but the woman in the hospital bed was his 2nd wife, Hillary. He never married Yvette (Miss UK), but they had been together for 17 years when he died in 2007 at the age of 57. He was 18 years older than her. * Debbie Curtis, mentioned briefly in the credits, was Ian's wife. (They had a daughter, and in the scene where he hangs himself, there is a baby bottle in the background.) * You might not have noticed, but in the scene where they are having their final night at the Hacienda, Tony is looking down at the crowd and sees both Ian Curtis and Martin Hannett dancing, as well as numerous other people from his past. * Tony said that the opening hang gliding scene was symbolic, as was the scene where Paul and Sean Ryder were poisoning pigeons. The same music ("The Flight of the Valkyries") is used in both scenes. I've no idea whether that was intentional. I'm also not sure what the symbolism was of the pigeon scene. Maybe drugs causing mayhem? * Ian's seizures were apparently quite frequent and severe, which probably contributed to his depression.

Hey Coby, I hope you’re doing well, and enjoying the L.A. weather. I would have loved to have been a U.K. teen in 1977. This is such a great film. All I knew about Tony Wilson was that he hosted And So It Goes. I loved seeing how Joy Division, and New Order and The Happy Mondays came about. Steve Cohan is fantastic in this role. This and Sing Street are my favorite reactions of yours. Now I’m gonna play your favorite song on the bass, because Peter Hooks bass riff is iconic!! You have a great weekend.

It’s not a sequel (at all) but the next film Steve Coogan did with Michael Winterbottom is a called A Cock And Bull Story and its brilliant. It’s a film of the ‘unfilmable’ book The Life And Opinions Of Tristram Shandy; Coogan plays a slightly fictionalised version of himself and Tony Wilson pops up in a cameo. Cracking movie.
