Comment on "Guessing the Train"

I can’t tell why I like this movie. I watched it over and over again... It’s been a

long time, but I clearly remember the words Diana started when Mark and Diana met. Mark, who was about to give up, stood on the side of the road in a daze. , Looking at Diana in the taxi, the driver asked "Do you want to get in the car?" Mark recovered and jumped into the taxi. He kissed Diana passionately...

That scene, with the strong rhythm. The music has always moved me.


Later Mark fell into a coma after taking too much drugs. The owner of the drug store dragged him into a taxi. The taxi driver threw him in front of the hospital. The people in the hospital used a stretcher to carry him in for rescue. The camera used Mark’s perspective. Let us see that the world is shrinking, and the body is falling...At that time, I thought that I was almost unconscious, and followed him, sinking, sinking, bottomless...I was tired and tired, and I wanted to be so. Close your eyes, let the world in front of you follow the line of sight, shrink and disappear...

When Mark was rescued, his world opened a door, and he saw the light again.

His parents took him home for treatment, his body curled up in his father's arm, like a child...He was powerless, he was helpless. His parents locked him at home. He saw that the surrounding walls, sheets, bedding, and pillows were all brick patterns. Life seemed to be imprisoned. The effects of drugs made him hallucinate. He saw the neurotic Simon get in. In his quilt, he saw his good friend sitting on the door wearing fetters, shaking his feet, hitting the door with an iron chain to make a shocking sound, once, once, as if knocking in your heart , He saw Alice’s dead daughter, whom Alice did not know, and the baby crawled towards him on the roof, kept crawling... keep crawling...until he raised his head directly opposite, stopped, turned his head. , The whole head turned around, rushed to him, he howled in pain...

This nightmare is like the effect of my countless nightmares. The horror is the artistic conception. There is no contrived mystery, but it makes you unable to resist and directly impacts. your heart.

I have never been clear about the true meaning of "Trainspotting" translated as "train guessing", and I have made various guesses with my friends. Thanks to TEss's introduction, "It is said to be an ancient game in Scotland, boring old people and children, Standing under the gray iron stop sign and guessing the time and number of the next train, playing boring time and life." In this way, everything has a correct answer, and we have a better understanding of the meaning of this movie.

    After the erosion, a purposeful life is the right thing to do. Revisited on August 13, 2014. In preparation for "All Things Grow", the story about youth is different from mine, but in the end, they all end in the same way. I want to take Astragalus well and grow well.

    When you say goodbye to youth and become like everyone else, you basically abandon yourself; but when you look back on the days of youth, you find that the world has abandoned you.

Trainspotting quotes

  • Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: It wasn't just the baby that died that day. Something inside Sick Boy was lost and never returned. It seemed that he had no theory with which to explain a moment like this... nor did I. Our only response was to keep on going and 'fuck everything'. pile misery upon misery, heap it up on a spoon and dissolve it with a drop of bile, then squirt it into a stinking, puerile vein and do it all over again. Keep on going, getting up, going out, robbing, stealing, fucking people over. Propelling ourselves with longing towards the day that it would all go wrong, because no matter how much you stash, or how much you steal you never have enough. No matter how often you go out and rob and fuck people over, you always need to get up and do it all over again.

  • Spud: [singing] Did you think I would leave you crying, when there's room on my horse for two? Climb up here, Tommy and don't be dying, I can go just as fast with two. When we grow up we'll both be soldiers And our horses will not be toys, and I wonder if we'll remember when we were two little boys.
