"It's SHITE being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of the f*cking Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some hate the English. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized BY. We're ruled by effete arseholes. It's a SHITE state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and ALL the fresh air in the world won't make any f*cking difference!"

FANTASTIC MOVIE! Choose Trainspotting!!

A very good film adaptation of an even better novel! Please read the novel by Irvine Welsh, it's better than the film!

A great criticism to the addiction to drugs and the subtle bad influences of friendships in life, Trainspotting brings an important message to the youth, with a heavy vibe, a frenetic edition, great movements of camera and a hint of acid humor.
I had a kind of fear of this movie be as sad and gore than Requiem for a Dream, but no... I confess that I liked more this one.

Rewatched this in preparation for T2 being released this week. Still as great as the first 5 viewings back in the day. If you've never seen it ... go and go now!

The acting is phenomenal, the music is terrific, the film is a pitch-perfect example of energizing editing and brilliant use of montage, and its script is one of the best ever written, alternately hilarious, horrifying, tragic, and benefiting from a rare level of depth and resonance. A British classic is what Trainspotting is recognized as, and a British classic is what it is.

It's amazing to think this was vilified for glamorizing drug use at the time of its release, because it's as stirring an anti-drug sentiment as I've ever seen. Ewan McGregor nails his breakout role as the weak-willed heroin-addicted poster boy Mark Renton, who constantly surrounds himself with a gaggle of the worst friends money can buy. It's a thousand different emotions all rolled into one concise package, with a dozen scenes that had me laughing out loud, an equal number of gut punches, a few manic spurts of action, a load of excellent off-the-cuff conversations and one giant, trainwrecked final score.

A nonstop, chaotic adventure with a well-rounded cast of characters and a knack for extreme moods, it's occasionally tough to discern the dialog thanks to the abundance of thick Scottish accents. Several outstanding selections on the soundtrack unify the scattered emotions very nicely.

A very good movie with solid perfomances and great dialogues..Directing was unique and i liked the way Boyle looked at the whole thing 7.8/10.

Don't do drugs kids! Great movie!

Excellent film! Great soundtrack. Go watch it!

I liked it...


But that doesn't give it the right to be a mind numbing slog.

I really liked it, the acting was phenominal, especially during the baby scene and the cinematography was great however I feel a slightly longer runtime to really flesh out the characters of Tommy and Mark after he briefly goes clean would've gone a long way. 8.0/10.

“Trainspotting” probably had its merits back then but kind of faded together with its generation. More than a film about drug addiction, it’s about another evergreen of modern cinema: the lost youngsters who are unable to blend in with a society they refuse. The themes are treated quite decently here, as cynicism and irony are chosen over sentimentalism and empty moral statements. There is nothing particularly original, intelligent or controversial, but I have to say that, a couple of lapses in taste and poop jokes aside, it’s still a mildly fun black comedy with memorable characters and some cool trippy scenes.

Level "Interesting" • 7 :heart: • Entertaining and Good.

I had never seen this before today, I know thats bad. But fuck I'm happy that I watched it. One of my favourite movies. Now I'm gonna watch T2. And Ewan McGregor was already brilliant in his younger years. Damn good actor that man.

What did I just watch! It is a brutal film about drug abuse. Ewan McGregor gives an outstanding performance with that Scottish lost man. Nevertheless I couldn't stop thinking of Requiem for a dream which I find more brutal, more depressing, better acted and with an extremely better music. I watched this because it appeared rated as one of the best 10 British films ever. I found it good but I prefer Darren's portrait of despair.

I love Ewan McGregor but not this shit movie

good movie but it made me want to take a very cold shower

What a epic movie.
Great visionary

Take the best orgasm you’ve ever had, multiply it by a thousand, and it’s still nowhere near it!
