I've always wanted to write something about Trainspotting.
Write what? Drug addiction, petty theft or rebellion, choice, decadence, brutality, self-deprecation, clumsiness and emptiness? Under the grey Scottish sky, day after day, a group of pale-faced indifferent teenagers, a group of gangsters, blindly clashed left and right, and the symbols generally marked the hormones of youth.
If there are no, vague parents.
Boys, why is there so much anger? Did...

Is Trainspotting not an inspirational film?
Finally watched this movie today. Quite British film, shooting techniques, soundtrack, tone, characters, dialogue, are all British. A British friend once used a phrase to describe this movie to me: a heavy movie. My understanding of heavy is heavy, and the theme of the film is too heavy: choices. To quote Shakespeare's words: To be or not to be, that's a question. What is placed in front of the protagonist of the story is the choice.
First of all, let’s talk about the plot. The...

The film is not long, the rhythm and music are very good, the plot is clear, each protagonist is a microcosm, and the ending is open. What attracts me most about the film is the way it superimposes the personal and the historical, which is very realistic. One side is a confused and depraved young man, the other side is the era setting at the turn of the century; one side is the so-called shite Scotsman, and the other side is a Capitalism is good. Confusion, numbness and indulgence can be...

Another kind of violence is called literature and art
Marginal people, this group has always been the favorite subject of movies. The audience's favor for this theme is from Metz's theoretical point of view, because this is really what you and I desire in my heart. Sexually alive, each self wants to be a unique individual that cannot be replicated. The marginalized is a general term for this group. Of course, the definition of the marginalized is, at first glance, entangled with poverty and suffering. But what we should see is that it also...

No matter what kind of youth has passed, there will be an end
On June 6, 2017, there was a light rain last night, and the ground was still wet. In the morning, I listened to two verses of C language in a daze, then I lay in bed, put on my headphones, and turned on one of the first movies I knew - "Trainspotting".
I don't know why I haven't read "Trainspotting" seriously, but at this time, I'm at the end of my youth, and I feel a lot of emotion.
In the film, a young Mark lives a rotten life with his friends, surrounded by drugs, robbery,...

Following the "angry youth" in the 1960s and 1970s, the young generation's mental collapse again appeared in Britain at the end of the century. This film is a masterpiece of this theme. The film targets a group of empty and boring young drug addicts in Edinburgh. It describes their life course of drug trafficking, drug abuse, and chaotic sexual behavior, and their development from drug abuse to stealing and robbery. This film is considered to be an innovative and deafening film in the UK. The...

I only watch it when I’m old. On the contrary, I can understand the feeling of sinking, sinking, being unable to move, and not wanting to move. How can one lift oneself up with one's shoelaces? Can you see that many movies later appeared Quoting the shots and bridges; Ivan is...

This movie has been dripping in front of my eyes 15 years ago, and countless literary and artistic youths recommended this movie to me. Today I finally made up my mind to watch it. I always feel a sense of reputation. Watching it today is a typical independent film, but it is neither the most radical nor the most elegant. Maybe it does cater to many people's imaginations of marginality. In fact, the best part of this film is that there are a lot of British cynicism in...

3.5. Danny Bauer's early narrative shots, and the infinite aura implied afterwards, constitute the most fascinating texture of this piece. The perplexity and depravity of externalization have never existed, so it is difficult to generate any sympathy or identity, but it is not difficult to substitute in speculation; the best climax is only in the flash of youth, even if it is difficult to maintain the peak in the future, at least you must persist in it. The yellow teeth are exposed and the...

Danny Bauer's masterpiece, both of which use stylized audio-visual language to describe drug abuse, is still not as powerful as "Requiem for Dreams". The director used a large number of low-camera back-up shots + psychedelic punk soundtrack + decadent and gorgeous colors + surrealist scenes + stream-of-consciousness narrative + neutral perspective to express the degenerate and confused fringe life. Regarding the choice of the opening remarks, the paragraph of laughing pee playing billiards, the...
Sick Boy: Good chips!
Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: ...I can't believe you did that...
Sick Boy: I got a good price for it! Rents I need the money!
Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: IT WAS MY FUCKING TELLY!
Sick Boy: Well, Christ. If I knew you were going to get so humpty about it, I wouldn't have bothered!... Fucking rented anyway...
[pointing to Rent's fish]
Sick Boy: You gonna eat that?
[takes fish anyways]
Sick Boy: ...Have you got a passport?
Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: Why?
Sick Boy: I met this bloke, runs a hotel... brothel, LOADS of contacts. Does a nice side-line of punting British passports to foreigners... I could get you a good price...
Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: And WHY would I want to sell my passport?
Sick Boy: ...It was just an idea...
Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: You could always get the truth from Tommy. That was one of his major weaknesses. He never told lies, he never took drugs, and he never cheated on anyone.
Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: Begbie didn't do drugs either. He just did people.
