Anssi Vartiainen This movie has a reputation as an unpleasant experience. And I'd have to say for a reason. Yet what often goes unmentioned is the fact that this movie is quite often classified as a black comedy. Again, for a reason.The story tells of a group of Scottish youngsters struggling through life despite their crippling addiction to heroin and other hard substances. We see them throughout the course of a perhaps a few years. Their highs and their frequent lows. Yet despite all this misery in their lives, they retain a surprisingly chipper attitude about life. They crack jokes, they talk in their thick Scottish accents, they have parties. Yet just beneath the surface, the heroin tightens its grip.And it's not like director Danny Boyle wants to glorify or romanticize drug use. No, it's still clear that these people have ruined their lives and those around them through their awful life choices. But the movie argues the point that these people are not stupid. There's a reason why people use drugs. Quite often they are the symptom of a life gone wrong rather than the cause.Very much a movie not for everyone. But, if you can stomach all those nasty scenes, the movie does have a story to tell. A good one and one excellently told.

Pjtaylor-96-138044 It's a slightly sardonic slice-of-life story sent as a super-speedy shot-to-the-veins, a hyperactively eclectic look at four vigorously degenerate, disenchanted and desperately destitute individuals who each navigate through what they've come to call their lives and somehow like it, only occasionally glimpsing it through a lens that allows them to see the filth in which they lay and the perceived perfection of the greener grass on which most others make their beds, but though the simple thing would be for the flick to focus upon the negativities of the protagonists' chosen lifestyle and to portray the quote unquote 'outside world' as the drug-free and consequently utopian society so many pictures of the kind seem to do so, it instead chooses to place the audience within the headspace of its characters no matter how misguided it may be and allow them to decide whether they agree with the actions taken as opposed to spoon feeding them the easy answers so many may crave; it's in this ambiguity that the film finds both its nuances and its entertainment factor for though it is at times an affectingly tough and even teeth-clenching experience, one which never shies away from true darkness and even some disturbingly surrealist horror, it is also an enjoyable and funny flick which finds humour even in the 'blackest' of situations, but this may also contribute to its general sense of aimlessness which does sour the piece ever so slightly. 7/10

eagandersongil A different mood, a humor that comes from pure disgrace and is transmuted to create comic, absurd, intelligent situations, containing criticisms, great character constructions and an editing and editing that so the tone of British humor that certainly inspired the films of Edgar Wright and Darren Aronofsky's "Requiem for a Dream" - both great directors in the new generation - so "Trainspotting" has its charm. With a linear but completely crazy script that abstracts within its paranoia a story that tries to develop and hangs, tries and stops, and in the end, it walks, the lack of development of the story is compensated with a great development of the characters, the whole The main class of the film is well-crafted, even if it's for seconds, we do not have that ghost-member story, they're all understandable, with unique and completely clinging personalities and worldviews. We have the story of Renton (Ewan McGregor), an inconsequential young adult who lives a broken life, heroin addicted and practicing lawlessness to keep up the habit and life, which has a gang of friends in the best club style of the 5, we see the Dramas and anxieties of all, until they are solved by practicing a coup, reading like this, seems a drama, but make no mistake, the dramatic tone of the script is compensated by the great and hilarious direction of the film. The message here is very clear: Do not use drugs, not because you will enter a world without return, but because it will temporarily sink, and this temporary can be forever, confused, but the film explains, we also have a criticism of the abandonment of Addicted and even a questioning about friendship, and a conjecture about the importance of social contact, our character might be better if he did not force himself to submit to this contact to help his friends. The technique applied, and very well applied here by the beginning director Danny Boyle, we have a fast and fleeting assembly, alienated with a series of cuts and different plans that pass, euphoria, sadness, depression, joy and solitude, the director knows how to use in the Different scenes, as for example in the trips of Reanton, where we have several quick cuts to pass its euphoria, and open plans to pass its solitude and closes to pass the climate of its degradation, all this in a scene. Consequently we have a great mix of sound and a soundtrack that mixes from this pop to classical music, and this mix is ​​great and talks to every feeling of the montage. All the performances here, no exceptions are wonderful, all the actors seem to have been born for the role and could not be different, it would be ridiculous to quote everyone, but they all perform completely wonderful performances. The film has problems, of course, is not perfect, the lack of direction in its script is one of them, but it is a great film, which attracts generations for its aesthetics and attracted me by its direction and performances, is said young classic.

markorankovic This is the most unique film and one of my favourite films that I have ever seen! Reasons? Film contains a huge message and on the other hand there is quality humor, very remarkable quotes including first and last scene, brilliant music from the 70s rock n roll up to 90s club house and techno music, and "easter eggs" that are hidden in the film. I have read the book also so I like how Boyle focused on just one of the problems from the book and screened it in sort of the funny and brutally way and showed all the consequences that drug abuse brings. It is mature film but I think that because of the message of the film even younger people should see it. And remember, the world's changing. Music's changing. Even drugs are changing. So choose watching this film if you haven't by now and then watch sequel to see how the gang changed! 10/10
