24 Hour Party People: Difference between revisions

* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: In-universe—theuniverse -- the band "[[Joy Division]]" is named after the euphemistic term for the prostitution and sexual slavery groups of Jewish women were forced to perform in Nazi concentration camps. This leads to accusations of fascism and white supremacist skinheads invading their gigs, which leads to the band spitting on them, which leads to further chaos. Later, after Ian Curtis' death, the band reveal to Tony Wilson that they've decided to change their name to "New Order"—which -- which, as Wilson points out, is possibly even ''more'' fascistic.

* [[Very Loosely Based on a True Story]]: Yes, a lot of the events in the movie happened, but several are intentionally exaggerated to make the movie more entertaining. For instance, Martin Hannett never tried to shoot Tony.<ref>Instead he shot a gun into a phone with Rob Gretton on the other line</ref>. In another scene, Tony's wife Lindsay has sex with Magazine singer Howard Devoto (after catching Tony cheating on her); the film Tony (and in the DVD commentary, the ''real'' Tony) states that the story never happened, and the real Howard Devoto makes a cameo in the scene as a janitor, only to break the fourth wall and tell the audience "I ''definitely'' don't remember this."
