This scene hits close to home. I know the feeling of once being so utterly intimate with someone. Then life happens and you gradually both drift onto different things.. Then one day, all of a sudden after so many years, you’re brought back together. Even if it’s just for a simple conversation or an accidental meet in the street, the feelings of so many mutual emotions come flooding back. For a second you can feel quite sad, solemn and distant.. You see how they’ve changed in comparison to yourself.
It happened with me. A young woman with whom I shared a mutual attraction in my younger days and had not seen in nearly 1/4 century, the one whose picture I had actually cut from my high school yearbook so I could keep it in my wallet before I moved to another part of the country. (Not a great idea, it was the one most poignant and meaningful photo in the entire yearbook, and it's been lost to the sands of time.) Decades later, I was unexpectedly assigned as a contractor to a site where she was apparently a permanent staffer, but we were not in close proximity, as we were on separate teams. It was incredibly awkward when we were in the same room. I naively hoped she would not recognize me, but her glances told me that she did. We never said a word to each other, but our eyes met a few times. She had changed. She was easily recognizable, but it was apparent that her life had not entirely worked out. No more bubbly personality and warm smile. In its place was a kind of resignation, of being jaded by things I could only guess about-- maybe a failed marriage, demanding children, career disappointments, the lines in place of her formerly vibrant and youthful visage, and so I never availed myself of the opportunity to reconnect. I had nowhere to go, and never even knew where to start.
@@bargainbassist well, take it from me. Maybe its useless maybe its not. But here i am trying, and encouraging you to just speak to the person. I know it might seem like a far fetched idea but, im just a youtube commenter miles away. If i can have an impact on you, you can have an impact on others. Life is utterly meaningless in the long run, why not get involved and get caught up in the moment
I like how she retained her snarky attitude, and also how she immediately told Mark that it was an hourly rate, as if she already knew that the price would be reasonable for him only if it was for a whole day or week. I love subtle touches like these in movies.
Of course, it also makes it clear that Veronika isn't the only person here who sells her services for an hourly rate. We all make compromises, even the "successful" ones.
Except she didn’t tell him “immediately.” She gave him a few seconds to think one way and then quickly snapped him back to reality. That few seconds is what provides the “POW” for that moment.
There were 2 other scenes shot for the film but were cut, they're available on the Blu Ray one of them has the dialogue cut but in the other Mark does discuss their previous relationship and I really wish they were kept.
She plays this part perfectly. The sharp, snappy lawyer, a bit condescending and a little bit acting like she represents the good of society while representing her client. This scene is also effective to me because it shows you, as is often the case in real life, how you cannot fast forward into the future and expect old friends to be the same as they once were, even if that is a bit painful.
@@Onmysheet I mean, once you hit 40-50+, I guess a lot of peoples' voices can roughen up, and for a number of reasons as well. But I guess the cast here generally lived a pretty healthy lifestyle.
The choice of colors is so smart and symbolic in both movies. When he met Diane, she was wearing red and their first conversation took place in front of the red building. And here you have a red painting on her wall. Red is the color that actually identifies this character.
MyYTwatcher ikr, hate when movie sequences just forget about the supporting actresses for someone youger for no reason. Also, they could’ve just made her his ex wife or something
Maybe she was doing some other project. Although, to be honest, as much as I love Kelly and Ewan’s chemistry, it does not make sense for her character to associate with Mark and his posse, especially now that she is no longer a smitten school girl and seemingly a pretty good lawyer as well.
Diane is seriously fishing here on Mark. Asks about his drug use, the nature of their relationship, puts the girl on the spot about a tattoo, and then tells him shes too young for him. Even though Diane is successful and accomplished, she still can't Mark completely out of her system.
Doubtin Thomas Your entire comment is wrong. That’s five words. To qualify as a paedofile you have to be attracted to children aged below 12. The sex they had was consensual, not rape.
"You've got green eyes You've got blue eyes You've got grey eyes And I've never seen anyone quite like you before No, I've never met anyone quite like you before..."
You got skag You got wake-ups You got hash And I want to try them all No, I dont mind trying them at all Good for her she stopped at hash and never tried the others
Mike Page Diane was always Mark's superego, even in the original movie. That's why I'd say she's an underrated character. I'd go as far to say she was one of his major inspirations in leaving the junkie/deadbeat life behind. I just find it sad that he didn't come back for her after a few years.
@@algo2957 True, everyone should've ended up happy with an awesome and fulfilled life. That would've been a much more interesting and realistic story.
@@rotatorcuffs8140 *one year later* just watched the sequel and i have to agree... it was sad that he didn't try to came back to her but this is the harsh truth; the junkie doesen't end up with the princess, prince charming does.
Exactly the contrary. Predicting he is into her, she wanted to humiliate him in front of her, making her know he was (maybe still is) a junkie. There are not 20 years of caring. They are 20 years of unresolved grudge.
When Diane says “she’s too young for you”, Mark says nothing, though he should have corrected her and said that she’s Simons girl. I like to think that he didn’t because he wants Diane to be slightly jealous, he still cares for her.
On the contrary I believe Mark did not say anything because he realized any of his arguments would be futile. I wouldn't say anything if I were in Mark's place, speaking from my personal experience.
He was probably feeling a synergistic feeling of Shock and Anger. Of all the things to say, she said probably the one and only thing that is the equivalent to a slap in the face. Too young for him! Too young for what, Diane!? Oh yeah, and while I am sure Renton is pining over "What If" when it comes to her, the irony is he dodged a bullet. Diane would have been the kind of woman that kept Renton's T3st1cl3s in a glass next to her in bed.
Diane and Mark still have the old chemistry here. She's quietly pleased to see him, and she naturally still cares about his welfare, but she has definitely moved on. Diane has made good choices in life, and is gently flaunting her superior social status here. She had a soft spot for Mark the rogue, but is disappointed that he hasn't quite moved on with the times, like she told him to in the old days. DIanne is gentrified Edinburgh, our heroes the old world. Some say that she's unmarried and unhappy, but she's only 34-35, is a career woman, and it's hinted at during the 'choose life' monologue that she's in the beginnings of some kind of relationship.
Her future is to die alone, childless and surrounded by her cats. She's very jealous of the younger woman and can't help but lash out at Mark and try to sabotage his relationship with her. She will go home to a lonely bottle of fermented grape juice and a tall pile of legal briefs to write while the camera will follow him. Diane DID NOT choose life; Mark did.
I don't know about you, though, but I'm upset that Mark hasn't gotten some revenge for Diane's presumptuousness. Or can it be assumed that in the second film she "set her mind"?
I really enjoyed this film. They normally screw up sequels like this...especially made 20 years after but this really just felt right for where all the characters are now. It had the same feel as the original while being different too. All the actors aged pretty well especially Mcgregor. Love the last scene with him back in his old bedroom.
Yeh they very deliberately waited 20 years to make this one as they not only wanted all the actors to be considerably older, but the audience as well. It worked out great and is really a fantastic example of what is possible with films as an art form. It reminds me of what Richard Linklater did the the before trilogy and boyhood.
I felt like it dealt well too with hitting middle age and the where did all of the time go feeling... Going to a bar and getting treated like the old veteran now amongst the 25 year olds even though you still feel like one of them inside. Maybe not being where you want to be career wise or maybe you made a lot of money but hate your job. Or you were married with or without kids and thought you were set and now are getting divorced and have to start over again. Also it touched on the strong ties people especially guys sometimes have with their childhood friends still and memories where you can kind of just pick up with your boys you grew up with and become 19 again instantly even if you rarely see each other anymore. Like Renton and Sick Boy staying up all night drinking and watching old soccer matches and listening to tunes and basically ignoring the attractive 20 something with them. And your ties to the past but also forgiving people for what they did and who they were back in the day. And last but not least starting to lose parents to old age who are now in their 70s and 80s or at least starting to worry about their health and how long you may have left with them. Great film.
I wonder if it was her trying to get back with him for a bit of fun, as now being part of the corporate world she probably misses the thrills of being a naughty schoolgirl trapping unwary men.
I think this film beats the men down a little too hard. I wish Renton had replied "Too young for what?", as both an echo of the first film and a reminder to Diane of where she came from and how they met.
The shot during the "Choose Life" monologue where he was looking up at her through the windows was poignant. I think in the case of her in this movie, less was more. I think many of us can identify with the 'what if' of romantic interests we bizzarely let pass by in our youths.
Diane is brilliant and should have been used more. She's obviously doing well for herself in this film, but her naughty streak is still there. She f****d with Renton from day 1 and she's still doing it, albeit in a much more veiled way.
Very clever subtle nod to the original when Diane comes out of the office. She stands the way she did in the scene with her schoolbag over her shoulder.
Considering that Trainspotting is on my personal all time Top Ten movie list I did not expect a follow-up that could possible compare with the first one. I watched the first one probably 20 + times, read the book, listened to the soundtrack and experienced all of it at a time in my life when art left a more impactful impression on me. The second part did not disappoint but it felt more like an ordinary movie. However, that one scene just demonstrated to me what a clever, insightful movie it was, recapturing a glimpse of the past but also acknowledging how destructive time and aging truly are.
Oh wow! I just found out they made a Trainspotting 2. I came here looking up Kelly McDonald from the first movie, because I have been watching the NetfliX series Black Mirror. She is in the episode called "Hated in the Nation". I thought "hey, that is the girl from Trainspotting". So I got on RUclips to make sure.
I'm gonna repeat what many here have said: I wish Diane had more time in the movie, or that she and Mark would have gotten together. I also had some slim bit of hope that there was some redemption for Begbie. His last meeting with his wife and son seemed pregnant with possibilities. Great sequel!
I'm guessing there had to have been a take in which Rents gave a more prissy and offended look in response to Diane's, "She's too young for you". On another note, that's one of the best lines in the film.
What I picked up on was Diane's disappointment in Renton. The camera holds on her doubtful expression and forced smile after he tells her he's been clean for over 20 years.
raped? You mean of the statutory variety, by legal definition only, correct? as it was implied (shown) they had fully consensual sex, and then she tried to manipulate/blackmail him to a small extent afterwards...
In the original movie she was touted as a main character, but she was only on the poster so it didn't look like a sausage fest. Here she was more of a easter egg than anything else.
Diane made it, did well with her life whilst remaining switched on. Shes right when she says 'shes too young for you' and its not in a jealous, pining way...just a knowing some ladies have.
@Ginger Baker what lmao. why would a successful person have any jealousy of another woman when that woman is with a man who is a drug addict. even if he's clean his life is a mess. she's not missing out on anything. she should feel lucky she's not that girl and is out of that world
A bit enigmatic - she might regret the passing of time, and I thought I detected some jealousy towards Veronika, but she is a respectable lawyer and he and Veronika are a bit on the wild side. In a deleted scene in the original film she calls Mark a "deadbeat" and their paths through life are different. She might not miss him so much as she misses her youth.
20 Yrs has passed and in 2017 they did Trainspotting 2 and the whole cast has aged OMG. It ties with Trainspotting the first one. Still both good films.
In a world where people think a female remake of Ghostbusters is a good idea, I very much welcome a female cast with a genuine plot for themselves, such as what these women went through.
Sloth from The Goonies So, you're just deciding to not read my comment and respond to it in whatever way fits your agenda even if we basically agree with each other?

It was very effective, to underline how unreachable she is for Ewan's character. I found having her as a cameo only profoundly bittersweet

Our lawyers in Canada are all prepaid. the moment they get their bag of 'kash" you get the attitude.
It's so incredible her voice hardly changed. I realize it's not something that easily changes but still. Goddamn. The nostalgia is real
So did Ewan, his voice is still easily recognizable after 20 years.

If you compare their looks from Trainspotting one to now you can clearly see Ewan aged very well.

Think he was acting.
Veronika seemed genuinely shocked by his explanation of vejazzled.

i love the irony of her telling him "she's too young for you" when she seduced him while being a minor herself
yeah it was HER that went to a nightclub while underage and didnt tell Renton, & then now she has the cheek to borderline blame him

Best line of the scene, other than "Are yoo?" still using heroin.
I think this film beats the men down a little too hard. I wish Renton had replied "Too young for what?", as both an echo of the first film and a reminder to Diane of where she came from and how they met.
"She's too young for you.."
An existential kick in the bollocks if ever there was one 😂🤣
Oh you’ve got green eyes, oh you’ve got blue eyes, oh you’ve got grey eyes and I’ve never seen anyone quite like you before.
Apart from being a bloody good actress who has starred in many superb movies, pardon the obvious. What a gorgeous woman she is. Utterly gorgeous.
Kelly MacDonald is amazing, when she says "do you?" you can tell she still cares.
The shot during the "Choose Life" monologue where he was looking up at her through the windows was poignant. I think in the case of her in this movie, less was more. I think many of us can identify with the 'what if' of romantic interests we bizzarely let pass by in our youths.
Exactly this. We rarely get the chance to have that full blown conversation that clears everything. Life is filled with “what if’s”
"She's too young for you" killer line
I could listen to Kelly Macdonald's voice all day.
We*
I love how Ewan clearly corpsed as Kelly said "So you're not vagazzled?"
It's both satisfying and heartbreating how grown up and different from their youthful selves they become.
God she's still absolute kryptonite.
She plays Carla Jean Moss in “No country for old men”. Perfect southern accent for a Scottish girl...brilliant
Good work with a dialect coach, I suspect. Javier Bardem's not-quite American accent in the same movie was certainly the result of that.
They still love each other, you can see that. She should’ve had more scenes
Kelly Macdonald simply doesn't age, still as talented and gorgeous as ever.
Diane is brilliant and should have been used more.

Considering that Trainspotting is on my personal all time Top Ten movie list I did not expect a follow-up that could possible compare with the first one. I watched the first one probably 20 + times, read the book, listened to the soundtrack and experienced all of it at a time in my life when art left a more impactful impression on me. The second part did not disappoint but it felt more like an ordinary movie. However, that one scene just demonstrated to me what a clever, insightful movie it was, recapturing a glimpse of the past but also acknowledging how destructive time and aging truly are.
Her voice is incredible
This scene got me in the feels.... a different dimension she and he are together.
That's how you make a memorable cameo
Marks face after Diane said “so your not vagasled”
Oh that smirk at 1:27 :) Priceless!
All society kept moving on without Tommy...
Oh wow! I just found out they made a Trainspotting 2. I came here looking up Kelly McDonald from the first movie, because I have been watching the NetfliX series Black Mirror. She is in the episode called "Hated in the Nation". I thought "hey, that is the girl from Trainspotting". So I got on RUclips to make sure.
I'm gonna repeat what many here have said: I wish Diane had more time in the movie, or that she and Mark would have gotten together.
I also had some slim bit of hope that there was some redemption for Begbie. His last meeting with his wife and son seemed pregnant with possibilities.
Great sequel!
Theres a book called the Blade Artist. It may turn into a film, or influence one. Who knows!
People wish this movie was longer
@@arepasxo it definitely seems rushed about half way through.
In my opinion its deliverate
The movie feels like a memory. Yes. A memory of remenbering memories
I'm guessing there had to have been a take in which Rents gave a more prissy and offended look in response to Diane's, "She's too young for you". On another note, that's one of the best lines in the film.
What I picked up on was Diane's disappointment in Renton. The camera holds on her doubtful expression and forced smile after he tells her he's been clean for over 20 years.
Assuming of course that she believes him.
"She's too young for you" loving the irony lol
Diane chose life.
"so you're not vajazzeled?"
that made it sound like Diane was, which could be her subtling coming onto mark, especially since she outright says "shes too young for you"
"She's too young for you." The perfect example of the pot calling the kettle black. XD
Kelly Macdonald wore this exact same outfit on Black Mirror.
I ship them so bad
kafkamirro I think we all did, but this was the most realistic portrayal of there "relationship" IRL
raped? You mean of the statutory variety, by legal definition only, correct? as it was implied (shown) they had fully consensual sex, and then she tried to manipulate/blackmail him to a small extent afterwards...
Doubtin Thomas did you even watch the film it was undoubtedly consensual. She even blackmailed him after
I'm not one to usually ship people but I strangely also wanted to see them get together. But I suppose this is the more realistic thing to happen.
I knooow ;o
"She's too young for you"
"Ya, you'd certainly be the one to know, wouldn't you"
are you Diane's flat mates then ?
Flat mate? I must remember that one!
Are you her flatmates like?
this scene makes me feel so sad
Wow, I had no idea this film existed until this clip showed up on my feed
In the original movie she was touted as a main character, but she was only on the poster so it didn't look like a sausage fest. Here she was more of a easter egg than anything else.
Diane made it, did well with her life whilst remaining switched on. Shes right when she says 'shes too young for you' and its not in a jealous, pining way...just a knowing some ladies have.
Yep - maybe that can explain the massive rate of divorce in our society!
@Abraham Synth lol, the only one bitching is yourself
dunno why I got emotional when I see this kinda stuff
'Diane, the lawyer' could easily be a tv show.
Wonderful scene. To think that the played the moustache guy's wife in No Country for Old Men... great actress
"That's really good. Well done." Stunning.
I really need to rewatch because I was too young to appreciate the sequel, I think, when it came out
Find it so hard to think diane was so young in the first movie well her first movie
Just watched the black mirror episode with her in it tonight. She’s so good
Amazing. The ending of the film seems like it leaves open the possibility of them getting back together.
Choose the slow reconciliation towards what you can get rather than what you've always hoped for.
"She's too young for you."
lel, Diane.
Someone is jealous
Gets tricked > rapes teenager
Excessive assumption wouldn’t you say or did I miss something in the book...
Out of curiosity, how do you know she's jealous? She hadn't seen Renton for 20 years, I would imagine all the feelings she had for him would be gone.
Rotator Cuffs unspoken feelings are unforgettable
@Ginger Baker what lmao. why would a successful person have any jealousy of another woman when that woman is with a man who is a drug addict. even if he's clean his life is a mess. she's not missing out on anything. she should feel lucky she's not that girl and is out of that world
@Ginger Baker what insult did she say??
'shes too young for you' burn ewan&mary winstead
Great movie and so much fun gojng around glasgow and edinburgh doing all the movie locations from t1 and t2
Perinium, is that what Scots call a taint thats class 😆💙😂💜
was that red painting in the back a greenscreen?
You can tell at the end she really misses Renton.
I think she just looked like she felt sorry for him.
So is the scene of her crying in her office alone just a delusion from Mark's head?
A bit enigmatic - she might regret the passing of time, and I thought I detected some jealousy towards Veronika, but she is a respectable lawyer and he and Veronika are a bit on the wild side.
In a deleted scene in the original film she calls Mark a "deadbeat" and their paths through life are different. She might not miss him so much as she misses her youth.
"Mark."
"I still fancy you."
And I guess she wouldnt mind a threesome with the other women even if she is too young for him.
God that actress who plays the lawyer is beautiful.
“Mark…. She’s too young for you.”
Yeah……
I was drinking soda when I was watching this & I damn near choked to death 😅😅😅
@@ResidentBigEvil Oh, the irony!! 🤣🤣
20 Yrs has passed and in 2017 they did Trainspotting 2 and the whole cast has aged OMG. It ties with Trainspotting the first one.
Still both good films.
Could use a movie about the women in Trainspotting.
In a world where people think a female remake of Ghostbusters is a good idea, I very much welcome a female cast with a genuine plot for themselves, such as what these women went through.
Trev, nobody thought an all female Ghostbusters was a good idea. The steaming pile of shit that was produced justified those concerns.
Sloth from The Goonies So, you're just deciding to not read my comment and respond to it in whatever way fits your agenda even if we basically agree with each other?
RuddyIPA/Trev Moran: There is more than enough in the books to pursue that idea.
Trev Moran, you didn't make any kind of valuable point in your comment.
“So you’re not vaggazzled” 😂
I’ve been in love with Dianne for 2 decades
Kelly MacDonald is unfathomably beautiful.
Sure is exotic 💜
WHy COULDNT THEY GET BACK TOGETHER
they did in the book!
@@radkavargova2667 why not in the movie ?
