About This Movie
Leslie Cheung's 'Surprise' is a unique gem from the mid-80s, showcasing his early musical talent. The film has this laid-back vibe, almost like a casual concert interspersed with narrative threads. The pacing can feel a bit meandering at times, but it kind of mirrors the spontaneity of the performances. What stands out here is Cheung's charisma; he brings a certain charm that pulls you in even if the plot isn’t the strongest. The music is central, of course, and it really highlights the era’s pop aesthetic. While there aren't flashy effects or grand sets, the authenticity of the performances makes it feel intimate. It’s a time capsule of sorts, reflecting the cultural landscape of Hong Kong in the 80s.
