Trainspotting

Danny Boyle's drug movie 'Trainspotting' seems to be a very influential movie. I was almost surprised to see that it was made in 1996. It was ahead of its time.

The film was well written, and the actors are all very good. The film has lots of good surprises, and it shows how frustrating sin can be. At the end, as he chooses to leave and to 'choose life', you can't help but question his sincerity. How many other times had he tried to break out? The film is a bit of a downward, circular progression - so you have to wonder if he'll make it.

The story ends with a lot of questions ... What happens to Diane, does he succeed in choosing life, etc. But that almost seems appropriate for a drug movie.

The hit scenes were very well done. The worst of them was when he dived in the toilet! lol... Also as he's pulling out in his parent's house. Very powerful. Another highlight of the film is the soundtrack. Gotta love 'Born Slippy Nuxx'. nice.


8.5/10
