Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a starter home. Choose dental insurance, leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose your future. But why would anyone want to do a thing like that?
Trainspotting is a cult classic and the reason why so many people went to Slumdog Millionare, it also introduced Ewan McGregor to the world. With its thumping soundtrack and dictatorship dialouge its infectious allure is just as potent as the pure driven heroin these 4 blokes are so fond of.
Renton(McGregor) however wants out. He wants off the gear and this is what its all about, one final hit to sooth the pain while the valium takes affect. He looks himself in a room with various ingredients of distraction to help him detox.
It's confronting, and may take more than one sitting for you to fully handle the ride, the "toilet scene" is one such stumbling block in the roller coaster of recovery.
Though it was controversial when it burst onto the scene in 1996 many such drug fueled films have followed and numbed our senses so such obscenity. Trainspotting is a witty, engrossing alternative classic that lets you question life, love and addiction.
This is a full-blown sex,drugs and rock'n'roll romp of a movie. A must for any collection, and a testament to English cinema.
