Directed by Danny Boyle
Trainspotting is a movie about group of friends who are mostly heroin addicts. Each of these friends has a different way of going about to get their fix. But for all of them, it controls their life. They spend most of their days together getting high and numbing their pain, but eventually few of them try to get their lives back on track and a variety of a different ways. As their addictions continue to control them, their lives get more and more chaotic.
Trainspotting somehow gets dark at a times and then really silly other times, which is obviously an odd combination, but it usually works, honestly.
Film is about, what heroin does to people without glorifying it. Film is full of kinetic energy, fatalistic insights. This movie doesn't glorify heroin, it glorifies youth. This is one of the remembering movies in British industry.
Mark knows about his pathetic addiction, he's well aware, but he's utterly entranced with the idea of high scoop him from the lowest of low. And also, nothing perfectly captures 90's britain as Renton and group of his friends.
From the beginning, movie never lets you go. You're not getting tired of it and the crazy drive of it hits you perfectly not to fall asleep. Movie sometimes gets really funny, but at a time, drama slaps us into face. All of the characters we're watching at, they seem to be realistic, taken from our everyday life.
