YesAsia Editorial Description
A "disaffected youth" drama in the vein of Rebel Without a Cause and the Japanese "Sun Tribe" pictures of the 1950s, Energetic 21 (1982) is noteworthy for the presence of a pre-superstardom Leslie Cheung, whose Canto-pop career would catapult him to fame the following year. Although Energetic 21 is an ensemble piece, Cheung gets the meatiest role, playing a cool but angry young heartbreaker struggling to come to terms with his mother's profession as a high-class call girl. Cheung's performance anticipates one of his most famous film roles as a similar character in director Wong Kar Wai's Days of Being Wild (1991).
Energetic 21 follows a band of seven well-to-do 21-year-olds who spend their days hanging out, rebelling against their parents, and generally staving off adulthood for as long as possible. Cheung's fellow Canto-pop singer Rowena Cortes costars as the lone female member of the gang who has the hots for Leslie; but Leslie's too torn up about his hooker mother to care, and Rowena has to settle for the nerdy Louie Castro. The typical romantic follies of youth give way to genuine tragedy when the gang gets involved in an altercation that leaves a foreigner dead. Wanted for murder, Leslie and his once-carefree friends find themselves on a collision course for a violent showdown with the police.

unexpected surprise
|
when I first bought this movie without knowing what this movie is all about; my first impression was some kind of Hong Kong street racing movie in the 80s but turn out it was quite difference than what I expected. In general, if you don't read the plot at all; the movie started slow with some characters development and stayed slow with few side stories branched out among this group of young people. However, in the last 20-25 minutes; the story will sharply turn into a quick and intense movie experience. This movie has its flaws but consider it was an early 80s works, I give it 7 out of 10. |
