Exactly, and even if you were on skag, you'd probably still be doing those same things anyway, is the saddest part too. But at least drugs make things better generally.
I absolutely adore how the chase scene at the beginning is used in the context of the movie. Notice it is used two times in the movie. At the beginning and also later. It is no coincidence, but an awesome metaphore for the progression of addiction. SPOILERS FOR THE FILM BELOW The beginning of this movie starts with a bang. Our heroes are running away with Iggy Pop's Lust for Life playing in the background. It is a very energic and lively song setting a good, crazy mood. With that, we have Renton's arrogant, rebelious "choose life" monologue about shitting on normal values, instead taking the path of a heroin addict. It sets a crazy, yet appealing fun mood and when Renton hits the car at the beginning and laughs at the driver before getting knocked down, it is sort of a comedic moment based on the established atmosphere. The movie is telling us, the ride is starting and it's gonna be a fun one. I imagine it is similar to the first hits. When you try the drug for the first time and the sensation overwhelms you, all your senses are telling you that you are entering a new world, that you are in for amazing ride. You feel adventurous, rebellious and great. Cue the second time this scene is used. It immediately follows the death of the baby, which is arguably the heaviest and most desperate time of the film. The background music, Sing by Blur, is fucking leaking desperation and ugliness. There is nothing fun about it this time around, the atmosphere is heavy as fuck. Renton monologues again, but it's not rebelious anymore. It is in no way arrogant or fun or appealing. Instead it is a monologue about desperation, the constant never ending need with no promise of brighter future. This time, when Renton gets hit by a car, it is not comedic anymore. The giggle he gives is a laugh of someone on the edge of madness, someone who is hitting the bottom, so he might as well just laugh. In this context, it is a disturbing laugh and a disturbing scene. The imagery is EXACTLY THE SAME, but the context is different. A time of the film has passed and the situation is completely different. What seemed like a fun world is now a living fucking nightmare, because some time has passed. Now, this is what happens with drug use, too. At the beginning, it was a fun ride, giving you new, great sensations. But as time progresses, as the state of your body changes and you become dependant, it turns into a nightmare. In a way, it's still the same, like the scene is. You shoot up, you get better, you feel great. But the context is different. At this point, you are trapped in the never ending nightmare, just like Renton says in this monologue. Fucking flawless use of the scene, I swear.
Because, it has one of the best opening sequences in Film History. Because, it has one of the best Voice-Overs in the lines of Taxi Driver, Goodfellas. Because, 20 years before, it ridiculed today's consumerism. Because, it is unbelievably raw and profane. Because, it is technically better than Pulp-Fiction with effective usage of colours and skilfully setting various moods of characters in the screen. Because, it is Danny Boyle's best directed film till date. Finally, it is exceptionally entertaining.
@Nathaniel Birthurth well..yea but you saying that every good movie has to make a social impact or intend to? That's a bit random isn't it? why even compare these two they are so absolutely different in every way possible damm
@Nathaniel Birthurth man pulp fiction is mostly made for fun. I didn't see trainspotting thb, just saying that imo using "it has no social impact" as an argument doesn't make sense, because pulp fiction doesn't want to have a social impact, just to tell a story
@Nathaniel Birthurth well, if you think about it then, pulp fiction has become iconic and had social impact(if you mean that tyoevof social impact): it became iconic, and some of its quotes are still famous today. Pulp fiction has become pop culture
Pulp fiction didn't have social impact as much as as trainspotting but it had massive impact on international cinema and filmmakers. It changed the cinema. Many movies made and people became filmmaker due to it's impact. Both are one of best if not the best work respective directors.

I watched this movie while coming down from meth for the first time. The way this movie shows how drug use at first can be all amazing and new, but then you hit a rock bottom and start thinking how to quit the habit. This scene itself symbolises the fact that you choose a path, even though working your ass off might not give you diamonds. I will never touch meth again, nor use party drugs frequently, many thanks to this movie and the situation I was watching it. I have faced a few rock bottoms and they have brought balance to my life. I've chosen to choose life with a little twist
@@mr-sj6kd How old are you? If you're under 25, I can tell you from experience going back to before you were born, do NOT choose IV drugs. Even speed. In fact most of all speed. That's about the worst drug for you, and will drive you nuts by the end. My mate was being arrested two or three times a week for running amok in his block of flats in ashbourne. When the police came they quite often came armed (he's a huge guy, and an ex-marine). So in his twisted logic he would think "I need to show them I have no weapons", and so would strip naked and then run out of the flat into the street, wang waving and everything. Tazer, CS gas, cuffs on hands and feet and off to the 24 hour psyche evaluation wing. Three or four days later, after a huge binge on speed, he's back again. Heroin is not bad for you per se. But it's the lifestyle that goes with it. Now this might sound great to a youngster, but you don't see old heroin addicts very often. We don't tend to make it much past 50. And 50 ain't old, trust me. I'm nearly there. Dump those IV drugs. Smoke the gear if you have to. But have a methadone program, or at least subutex program, to fall back on. Subbies are probably best because they're a blocker as well. But be careful is what I'm saying. Don't end up like me and millions of others. Because that's usually the only way it goes. Especially with class A IV drugs like smack, or crack, or speed, or cocaine.

Always thought it was pretty weird how they included Tommy in the intro, but not the promo poster, especially since there was apparently room for Diane, who’s a pretty minor character tbh. Admittedly though it does play nicely into the whole motif of Tommy being neglected by his mates that a few people have already pointed out here. God, what a tragic character.

Read the book Skagboys (Irvine Welsh). It is the prequel to Trainspotting. Wonderful and social book. (Thatcher, social crisis, drugs, Aids, skins, youth decadency...). Irvine spotted their life before. How they changed!
The 1990s were so fucked up. Everyone was crazy - drink, drugs, clubs, debauchery, mayhem. Society is much softer now. Young people are really grown up and sensible. Wheras, when I was 19 in 1998 literally everyone I knew was a fucking mess!

Just act like this is the music video for Lust for Life. This is the best opening with a song since, Bladerunner. This was just meant to be considering the track has been out years
Why hasn't anyone uploaded the best Choose Life speech clip, the one where he gets clean and starts saying it in the pub I think it is, being bored shitless by the ''life'' of his sober straight family and what they find palatable.
@Dinselt In the sequel, Tranispotting 2, there is a scene where a mature and unstatisfied with life Ewan McGregor says that "choose life" is equally depressing as not choosing life.

The 1990s were so fucked up. Everyone was crazy - drink, drugs, clubs, debauchery, mayhem.
Society is much softer now. Young people are really grown up and sensible.
Wheras, when I was 19 in 1998 literally everyone I knew was a fucking mess!
Michael M I'm 20 and I pretend to be ok, but under it all I'm terrified and alone
Cj M this film if anything was against the use of drugs and used as a deterrent, one things for sure, it's the best film ever made

1. Choose life.
2. Chocolate stash. Refer to rule 1.
Then he smiled.
3. Add coffee and a pinch of chilli. She will follow you anywhere!
Just act like this is the music video for Lust for Life. This is the best opening with a song since, Bladerunner. This was just meant to be considering the track has been out years
Why hasn't anyone uploaded the best Choose Life speech clip, the one where he gets clean and starts saying it in the pub I think it is, being bored shitless by the ''life'' of his sober straight family and what they find palatable.
I will choose heroin. Thanks.
@Dinselt In the sequel, Tranispotting 2, there is a scene where a mature and unstatisfied with life Ewan McGregor says that "choose life" is equally depressing as not choosing life.
@@srkucrickk that’s weird. Like both choices are wrong and not fulfilling? I think, it’s all a matter of attitude.
Nice message
Choose to watch Trainspotting.
Chapeau bas.

He chose the "high" ground
No, he just chose not to choose the Dark Side, and the reasons? There are no reasons, who needs reasons when you’ve got a lightsaber.
