Manchester, 1976. Tony Wilson is an ambitious but frustrated local TV news reporter looking for a way to make his mark. After witnessing a like-changing concert by an unknown band called SEX PISTOLS, he persuades his station to televise one of their performances, and soon Manchester’s punk groups are clamoring for him to manage them. Riding the wave of a musical revolution, Wilson and his friends create the legendary FACTORY RECORDS and the HACIENDA club, and bands like JOY DIVISION, NEW ORDER, and the HAPPY MONDAYS emerge to change the industry forever . 24hr PARTY PEOPLE is a sprawling, energetic, and humorous history of one of the most important periods in modern music !
從電影的開始，就註定要感動。
電影隨著Tony Wilson雄大的野心與源源不絕的熱情，從新浪潮搖滾初生的年代，串聯自rave文化的興起。他用”∞” wave來形容音樂潮流的興衰交替。片中完美的詮釋了音樂所帶來的熱情與喜悅。
Tony Wilson最初為Indie Rocker尋找演出舞台，商家還誤以為Indie Rock是印度樂（India），這樣的一句對白，也告知了早期的Manchester依然只是個工業的城市，不過憑恃著文化本身所蓄積的巨大能量，一個小小的引線，立刻將Indie Rock 瞬間爆發開來。然而隨著Joy Division主唱Ian自殺身亡，Indie Rock的年代也宣告終結。Joy Division的其餘成員組成New Order，開始將電子音效放進樂曲裡，這將是一個新風潮的開端。片中他們在錄音室以玩樂的性質，將電子取樣的聲響融進樂曲。隨著低沉的震動，當時還顯得極為粗糙的電子鼓聲，已然悄悄地挑起心中的興奮。果真，隨後New Order 入主由Tony Wilson經營的HACIENDA club，rave文化如巨浪般緊接著湧上，幾乎將原有的一切淹沒！ HACIENDA club的場景令人飆淚\\\，從工業實用主義出發的設計理念，巨大的鋼鐵廠房完全是後現代的精煉簡潔。夜晚的HACIENDA club，無可計數的party people凝結成rave party的場景，雷射燈光、電子舞曲，DJ的年代誕生。
片尾，HACIENDA club的尖峰時期，放的音樂是Happy Mondays的Hallelujah，
club mix！黑人靈魂樂女聲穿插其中，完美的club tone！
