If only death weren't so famously and finally the "undiscovered country", it would just be too easy to say that Tommy was by far the luckiest of them all.
I never thought of that. But I did think that it was interesting that sick boy said “at what age 22,23?” but Renton without thinking says “23” as if sick boy never bothered to remember.

The way Sick Boy responded immediately with "I don't know what you're talking about" shows he knew exactly where Mark was going and that he lives with the guilt over the death of his kid every second of every day.

@@BillyButcher90 First off, no, they don't. If they did, the flowers would be writing the comments about us. Second, how would YOU know if flowers did have souls? Did you conduct some scientific research or just pull it out of your behind?
@@SalvableRuin Well according to the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, there is a concept of the eternal soul, known as the "atman," which is believed to be present in all living beings. According to this philosophy, all living entities, including humans, animals, plants, and even microscopic organisms, are believed to possess a soul. In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna explains that the soul is eternal and indestructible. It is not born, and it does not die; it simply changes bodies like a person changes clothes. This concept implies that all living beings, including plants, have a soul that is distinct from the physical body. While plants are considered to have a form of life and are respected in many spiritual traditions, including Hinduism, the specifics of the nature of the soul in plants may vary in different philosophical interpretations. Some may argue that plants have a lower form of consciousness compared to animals and humans, while others may believe that the soul in plants is different from that in animals and humans.
Sick Boy is the pessimistic audience that doesn't like nostalgia. Renton is definitely trying to find an answer in his past, and is hoping to find a future in it. Spud is how we should all be.
@@booqrdoit9138 Being pessimistic and not liking nostalgia? Just a way not to accept the past, and the responsibilities. Just a way not to recognize anything nice that happened. Just a way not to act, since nothing will turn good.
they completely forgot about this movie on the Oscars... Probably because it is a non politically correct movie. As you say the direction is really good, Boyle keeps getting better and better. Also the photography is amazing, music, and of course the actors...
All of the writings of Spud actually come from the original Trainspotting novel. So in the novel the scenes are from various different perspectives. Tommy not surviving is a Renton scene, Begbie pishing himself is a Spud scene, etc. I kind of wish they'd managed to get the opening line in there somehow, "The sweat wis lashing oafay Sick Boy; He wis trembling."
I’ve not seen the movie, but the scene with them standing together 20 years later hit hard. I lived the life back in the late 90s and early 2000s and carry the pain of it to this day, with no friends left to revisit anything. Choose life.
Sometimes we really do have to revisit our youth to move forward. That's really ironic. I visited a place I have not been to in a long time last week. I went past a friend's house. There was a for sale sign outside it. That means that a parent of my friend has passed away, or both. Another part of my youth gone. But it's good to revisit a place, at least for the memories. And hopefully, you will have a moment where you can think and reflect on the people who are gone. Think of a smile, a laugh, a scent, a moment, in a place from your past, and visit that place, because we might not have another chance sometimes.
I totally agree. I went to a park I used to hang around as a kid. Hadn't been in 20 years and everything came flooding back. Was really healthy to take some time and reflect
@@findlay1arches Yeah im only 23 so I still have time to make changes. But i cant waste any more of my life on drugs. revisiting my youth made me see this.
@@lukasdoofus2592 yeah dude your still so young and have plenty of time to make changes. Drugs are fun but they ultimately lead to negativity. Nothing wrong with experimenting and having fun with friends as long as you know when enough is enough otherwise they can take over your life. Good luck brother.
I lived the same problems with drugs in my coutry, in that times we had a friend like Tommy, he started using drugs much later us, I warned you don't be like Tommy you're different from us you're a good guy. it's amazing that every druggie story there is a tommy and he always dies. My friend died in the process and i have been clean for 10 years. I couldn't help him out, sorry my poor English and all of you stay clean.
Good for you that you started being clean of drugs 10 years ago, man. Hope you'll stay clean and cool. And I hope you made peace with yourself for the loss of your friend.
They did fight, they fought themselves and their own memories, their own mistakes, and they lost. They couldn't handle the guilt and shame, so they blotted out with a hit of skag.
Mark is ready to look back, and take honest account of what happened to him, or at least he thinks he is. Sick Boy is not. In the first movie they both can leave Tommy behind.. just a casualty that was lost along the way. But Tommy is still with them, because they can never change who they are and what they did, what they experienced. He did matter, he does matter.
Sometimes the past is a tricky thing to deal with. Some feel regret, others choose to forget. But part of growing up is acknowledging the mistakes that we've made and owning up to it. Trying to learn from them and hopefully not repeating them again........
Tommy’s demise and death was really all because of Mark... he stole that video which led to Lizzy dumping him and his depression then he sold Tommy drugs which led him to his illness sending him to his grave.
Not really, sure, Mark was the one who stole their tape, which yeah, in turn lead to their break up but come on, Tommy didn't need to take drugs he did that to himself.
@@RossTurner94 " Tommy didn't need to take drugs he did that to himself." He was in a moment of weakness. It was his friends' fault for either selling him the drug or not checking on him to see if he was ok.
@@Briselance Doesn't matter. Weakness smeakness, he made that decision on his own, he could've done something for himself in that state or found some other way to get high without the use of drugs. If I remember right, Renton DID check on Tommy. Either way though, it's not Rentons fault.
Mark needs money to buy drugs and Tommy can provide to both of them, this is what happens when you looking solutions of your problem to another "sick" person.
@@RossTurner94 renton checked on tommy after hed been diagnosed with HIV and was addicted to heroin. He even gave him more money, and both smiled at one another knowing it was going to heroin. Your view on male stoicism is extremely toxic, people need help sometimes you dingle.
Anyone that willingly gives someone their first hit of smack is a scumbag.... Even in my addiction I always told people off who wanted to try it... word for word out of my mouth was "I'm not gonna lead you into the abyss." That infant's death falls on everyone that was living in that flat not just sickboy and his girl....
No your just not right. You can have that opinion but if they are reaching out and asking for heroin then they will keep doing it until they get it. Its honestly better to show them the ropes so that they have a chance to not die. And no, I am not responsible for anyone else's. i wont touch a baby. i wont feed it. i wont touch it. I would however report the parents if i saw a child in that situation. better for them to get arrested than have a baby die.
Everyone makes their own choices can't play God and stop them if they want it they want it. And don't have babies is you can't take care of them they knew what they had but still choose to get high.
parents take full responsibility of their children. yes none of these would've happened if the rest bothered to spend a minute on checking the baby but again who brought her there in the first place? its nonsense to blame them when her parents were STILL around & not busy on anything besides taking heroin.
@@lukasdoofus2592 "Its honestly better to show them the ropes so that they have a chance to not die" No. It's better not to sell them any damn dose of drug, not to show them how to poison and slowly kill themselves. It's better to try and shake them off that death path.
@@Briselance It really is, you're right, I drink a lot and it has caused problems and I have told my brother a bunch of times, don't even try it, especially with addiction being a problem in our family. I like what Renton says in the movie, "if you'regoing to be addicted, be an addict, just be addicted to something good." We are all addicted to something wether it's sugar, coffee, green tea, working out, reading, movies, as long as it's good and not a bad thing in someone's life and healthier than hard drugs, than it's fine imo.
If there was going to be another film it would be T0, and would be based off Skagboys, the prequel to Trainspotting. Course, it wouldn't have the original actors and probably won't be directed by Boyle considering he's getting on as it is.
This hit differently without Tommy. THIS IS SAD, but that fight between sick boy and mark, crazy how they both blasted each other... impressed with the come back though.
This film was worth the wait, must have watched it 5-6 times in the cinema as i missed the original, so wanted to make sure I full absorbed the last one. What an amazing two films.
Every time I watched "Rome", I kept wondering why Kevin McKidd looked so familiar. Didn't realize until now that he was Tommy. Tommy's death was so heartbreaking... along with the baby. 😭
Tommy was an adult as he said he can find out for himself. Rents was reluctant to give Tommy any and would have found it else where. Bit unfair blaming Renton for Tommys addiction.
Sic boy has the facial structure to pull it off. In fact he looks so majestic with his remaining bleach blonde hair that after I saw the second film a few years ago, For some reason I didn't picture him as someone who was unfortunately balding.
Interesting how they made Spudd the secret hero and pivotal character in this movie. His ability to remember, coalesce and retain their youth as a novelist while maintaining and spreading his kindness is truly touching.
Love how Spuds the only one really taking it serious. Spud was a good man who wasnt satrong enough to kick his demons. No matter how bad it got, he was the only one that seemed to be genuine and present enough.
Wasn't old enough to see TRAINSPOTTING as a child when it came out but I always knew it was the great 18-cert film with the brilliant soundtrack and one-liners ("choose life"). That's my nostalgic take with TRAINSPOTTING as were the days of big beat, house, and trip-hop playing on your radio and MTV Dance. And seeing T2 was like that for me, a throwback to mid/late-1990s, early 2000s madness.
Had a chance to watch T1 again at the Glasgow Film Festival a few weeks ago because of work. Just had an infant as well. When the baby scene hit, it was the scariest shi*t I've ever seen. rush back home and hug my wee boy.
Sick Boy pushes Renton on the death of Tommy, he knew Renton was gonna mention something back, at the very worst, telling Sick Boy that it was his fault for baby Dawn. Was this a kind of Sick Boy testing "confronting his own demons" through aggravating Renton? There is no way Sick Boy couldn't have seen that coming !!
" I don't know what your talking about." he knows very well. when the "wolf Alice - silk" comes on and Simon looks totally devasted i honestly think he was devastated about his daughter. Time is horrible.
I grew up in the 60's & 70's (I'm 66 now) and never did drugs in my life, after promising my dad I wouldn't when I was 12. Just the name, heroin, evoked in me something to be avoided, something you never came back from.
The subtle callbacks in framing and blocking and movement are brilliant. If you put the two movies side by side, the way everything lines up would be so impressive.
Who can know…maybe little Dawn and Tommy went on to a beautiful afterlife we can’t even imagine…I hope that’s where everyone goes..each and every one of us coz precious as life is, it hurts, it’s hurts us all in one way or another ❤
I loved this movie but it was like punch in the gut watching it. Scenes like this and all the talk about the past and what was done and what wasn’t just really hit me.
Missed the point if that wasn't sarcasm. "Trainspotting" was the hobby of studying trains, what the cars did, becoming an expert in something that was ultimately pointless. Same with the addicts in the movies. They were experts in a lot of things that were ultimately pointless, from Sean Connery to heroin itself.
This film is just brutal. And honestly, I'm not 100% sure if it was necessary. The implied sorrow is totally evident in the original film - even in the ending. You know Mark's not going to end up being happy, that he had hurt people and that the grin was temporary - and that there's a very dark undercurrent to the exuberance of the film, as the "rush" is simply the drugs. The baby dying is a clear turning point. So to make a film that shows, "Yes, what we hinted would happen, did happen, now wallow in it" - I'm just not sure it was *necessary*. It's not that the film is badly done - it's beautifully made; the writing's great, the performances are great, etc. - but...after I saw it, I just had no desire to see it again. I think "Trainspotting" was perfect, as it was and - as said - strongly implied the eventual compromises and aging and death and mistakes, etc. already (you knew most of them would end up badly). So to make a film where you just sort of - sit in that, for 2 hours - as great as the film is, I've just had no desire to return to it.
its a born slippy remix by Underworld but I don't think it was released by itself, because it is just an ambience, not a full remixed track. I've been looking for some trace of it but I don't think anyone involved thought it deserved to exist by itself
2:57 What I never understood about this scene. At this moment, was it just a flashback to them doing heroine, or did they go back to doing another hit after having this depressing conversation?
‘We were young. Bad things happened. It’s over.’ As flawed as Sick Boys perception of this mind set is, it does have a degree of truth. Sometimes you do just have to forget and move on.
hes not dead he just sold out and moved to america. actually come to think of it ikevin mckidd has probably done more than any of them over the years. greys anatomy, rome that hannibal movie etc.

He didn't pick up the plastic wrap from the flowers he put on the grave though. Littering is a grave sin.
"Nostalgia - that's why you're here. You're a tourist in your own youth."

Now that’s a good point, I hadn’t thought of it like that. Now you got me thinking…

Love how Spuds the only one really taking it serious. Spud was a good man who wasnt satrong enough to kick his demons. No matter how bad it got, he was the only one that seemed to be genuine and present enough.
He got ya there sick boy
Wasn't old enough to see TRAINSPOTTING as a child when it came out but I always knew it was the great 18-cert film with the brilliant soundtrack and one-liners ("choose life"). That's my nostalgic take with TRAINSPOTTING as were the days of big beat, house, and trip-hop playing on your radio and MTV Dance. And seeing T2 was like that for me, a throwback to mid/late-1990s, early 2000s madness.
Anyone who if ever has chance to visit the Kingdom needs to visit this place
Corrour Summit, Scottish Highlands
The look of regret on Sick Boy's face at the end of the scene hits hard.
Jesus that place is beautiful.
Had a chance to watch T1 again at the Glasgow Film Festival a few weeks ago because of work. Just had an infant as well. When the baby scene hit, it was the scariest shi*t I've ever seen. rush back home and hug my wee boy.
I think we all have regret at some point or another. The important thing about it is that we acknowledge and learn from it.
Being tourist in our own youth isn't a bad thing , I'm sure we all do
Spud is my real hero in this part - It took some time and i always postponed watching T2 but i didn`t regret - It was worth it..
Sick Boy pushes Renton on the death of Tommy, he knew Renton was gonna mention something back, at the very worst, telling Sick Boy that it was his fault for baby Dawn. Was this a kind of Sick Boy testing "confronting his own demons" through aggravating Renton? There is no way Sick Boy couldn't have seen that coming !!
" I don't know what your talking about." he knows very well. when the "wolf Alice - silk" comes on and Simon looks totally devasted i honestly think he was devastated about his daughter. Time is horrible.
I grew up in the 60's & 70's (I'm 66 now) and never did drugs in my life, after promising my dad I wouldn't when I was 12. Just the name, heroin, evoked in me something to be avoided, something you never came back from.
This movie is amazing.
This is a hard watch. No one is perfect. If you think you are, your not. Trust me.
D Delaney ....i trust you.
“you’re”
thanks for illustrating your point.
Yup, I may have played a part in the death of my mate, but I've never played a part in the death of my own child. Feel anything now?
, Renton remembering his friend and sick boy putting the past behind. Both having their reasons why they feel that way,a simple but profound scene.
I am here for nostalgia, I am here as a tourist in my youth.
Renton also stole the tape that lead to the breakup ... poor Tommy ...
The subtle callbacks in framing and blocking and movement are brilliant. If you put the two movies side by side, the way everything lines up would be so impressive.
"Some time between the next few weeks and the next 15 years; Tommy will be no more"
Who can know…maybe little Dawn and Tommy went on to a beautiful afterlife we can’t even imagine…I hope that’s where everyone goes..each and every one of us coz precious as life is, it hurts, it’s hurts us all in one way or another ❤
I loved this movie but it was like punch in the gut watching it. Scenes like this and all the talk about the past and what was done and what wasn’t just really hit me.
I cried.
Memorial moment is no important for sickboy , poor Tommy....
Can’t wait for Trainspotting 3 when they’re old
Choose a nursing home
Choose Wurthers Originals
Song name at 00:08?
Just lost a old friend if I’m blessed to live another 20 years I think it’d be this
Scotland is so beautiful!
Spud is the soul of this movie
Nostalgia, choose dead
Świetny film
Easily the best scene in this movie
The next scene after this is the best for me
Both of these movies have surprisingly little to do with trains. 1/10 for me, Clive.
Missed the point if that wasn't sarcasm. "Trainspotting" was the hobby of studying trains, what the cars did, becoming an expert in something that was ultimately pointless.
Same with the addicts in the movies. They were experts in a lot of things that were ultimately pointless, from Sean Connery to heroin itself.
@@karazor-el6085 whooooosssshhhhh
They literally talk about trains in this scene 😂
The best scene in the film.
"How'd ya keep a lid on that one?"
Jeesh
Tbis movie is underrated as hell
First time I saw it I seriously thought they were gonna come to blows again with the way music ramps up 😅
This movie's so good.
"what other memories will you be revisiting?"
With how to music gets more intense I was expecting sick boy to just attack Renton
Epic sequal.worth the wait.
Incredible sequel. I couldn’t believe it could be done. It twas
So this is what Obi-Wan was up to before he moved to Tatooine.
The older you get, the harder this movie kicks.
Ha the music. ... The best music I ever listen
This film is just brutal. And honestly, I'm not 100% sure if it was necessary. The implied sorrow is totally evident in the original film - even in the ending. You know Mark's not going to end up being happy, that he had hurt people and that the grin was temporary - and that there's a very dark undercurrent to the exuberance of the film, as the "rush" is simply the drugs. The baby dying is a clear turning point. So to make a film that shows, "Yes, what we hinted would happen, did happen, now wallow in it" - I'm just not sure it was *necessary*. It's not that the film is badly done - it's beautifully made; the writing's great, the performances are great, etc. - but...after I saw it, I just had no desire to see it again. I think "Trainspotting" was perfect, as it was and - as said - strongly implied the eventual compromises and aging and death and mistakes, etc. already (you knew most of them would end up badly). So to make a film where you just sort of - sit in that, for 2 hours - as great as the film is, I've just had no desire to return to it.
What is the song playing here? Been trying to find it for ages
Michael Lyness slow slippy - Underworld
@@nathanjcooper5441 I don't think it is. Doesn't match?!
Slow Slippy is when Renton reminds Sick Boy about his dead daughter
Lyness121 it’s called everytime day bro team 10
its a born slippy remix by Underworld but I don't think it was released by itself, because it is just an ambience, not a full remixed track. I've been looking for some trace of it but I don't think anyone involved thought it deserved to exist by itself
The older you get, the harder this movie hits.
2:57 What I never understood about this scene. At this moment, was it just a flashback to them doing heroine, or did they go back to doing another hit after having this depressing conversation?
All of those scenes are from the original movie. They’re just flashbacks.
I think the flashback scenes of heroin was a setup for them actually doing it again in the scene right after.
‘We were young. Bad things happened. It’s over.’
As flawed as Sick Boys perception of this mind set is, it does have a degree of truth. Sometimes you do just have to forget and move on.
Too sad.... I can't bear it...😢
hes not dead he just sold out and moved to america. actually come to think of it ikevin mckidd has probably done more than any of them over the years. greys anatomy, rome that hannibal movie etc.
He was also Soap in the Modern Warfare trilogy
@@Joe-ib3dy and coop in dog soldiers as well as vorenus in rome.
I thought they were going to get violent here
Same here
I so miss
Did they ever explain how nobody went to jail over that?
because only spud,renton and simon knew.
I adore this scene. Must be cause I’m 40
I’ve never planned to do heroin but trainspotting had shown me heroin was more bad than I thought it was
