What is youth? "Guessing the Train" says youth is not a thing.
"Choose life, choose work, choose occupation, choose family. Choose xxx a big TV. Choose washing machine, car, laser player, electric can opener. Choose health, low caliber, low sugar. Choose fixed-rate mortgage. Choose starting point , Choose friends, choose sportswear and suitcases. Choose a xxx three-piece suit. Choose DIY. On a Sunday morning, xxx can’t figure out who you are. Choose to watch a boring show on the sofa and stuff it in your mouth Junk food. Choosing to be rotten, to replace you with a selfish kid made by your sperm is arguably the most shameless thing. Choose your future, your life. But what should I do? I choose not to live, I choose other . The reason? There is no reason. As long as there is heroin, what reason is there?" When the inner monologue of the male protagonist Renton rang along with Iggy Pop’s Lust For Life in the robbery scene, I boarded a fan. The fantasy train began to imagine the same neurotic imagination as the director, imagining poetic and cruel youth.

I have three junior high school classmates, and I still remember their names clearly-Li Fei, Luo Heng, and Zhang Tao. In an uncivilized small town, in a dilapidated middle school, they squandered their youth freely. At that time, maybe they didn't understand what youth was, but they had learned to use knives to cut people on the street. Watching pornography all night, skipping classes all day, telling pornographic jokes to girls, and going to the kiln. If I, with excellent grades, represent the resignation of the youth of our era, then they represent the domineering youth of that era. They are bad boys in the eyes of adults. They are judged by this society as hopeless, and they quickly perish in that era. I am a good boy in the eyes of adults. I have a bright future, but now I am slowly sinking into decline. Now I have to worry about money and life just like them. The end of all youth is just being chosen to choose life, so there is a human face, some are low, some are rich, some are poor, some are chic, some are shabby, some live a life of dignity, some live a humble life.

Renton, Shiba, Perverted Man, and Renton’s brother are like four impulsive demons, taking drugs, robbing, and playing with women. They are immersed in their own world and have chosen to fall. For them, life has no concept of marriage, no concept of family, no concept of children. In short, they do not need to take any responsibility for this society. There is no doubt that they are rebellious. Rebellion is a resistance to despair, rebellion is a struggle against predicament, and rebellion is a struggle against the status quo. There is also no doubt that their era is desperate, they are in a difficult situation, they are dissatisfied with the status quo, so rebellion has become the banner of youth, and rebellion guides the spirit of youth.

Youth is a secret road to life. Everyone's destiny in this life has more or less appeared in the face of youth. Later, Li Fei became polite and gentle, and lived a small life; Zhang Tao entered the class room; Luo Heng was still the same infrequently as before, mixed with life. Suddenly, I felt that there was no such thing as happiness or mediocrity. My youth is gone, like an iceberg melting under the sun waiting to be exhausted. It is so mediocre, just like the mediocrity I will face in the future.

Perfect Day, yes, I just need a perfect day, this is the meaning of those youth, it makes youth worth remembering. When Renton re-injected drugs after rehabilitating drugs, he entered a spiritual carnival. Lou Reed's Perfect Day sounded, and the carpet sank into the shape of a coffin. He peered into the world in the coffin. In this lazy singing, Lou Reed sang his too much attention to society and his unquenched warmth in his heart. It turns out that the warmth in my heart is so perfect.

Some people say that everyone in love should not watch "12 Nights", and everyone who is looking for a job should not watch "Guessing the Train". How unfortunate it is for me to find a job for half a year, but I didn’t have what I wanted, but at this time I just let me watch "Guess the Train", so I wanted to say: "Oh, shit, somebody chooses life, but I am being chosen by fucking life. "

Youth is really not a thing. At the end of the film, Renton started an inner monologue in Underworld's "Born Slippy": "I am ready to go forward and choose life. I am ready to be like you: work, family, xxx TV, washing machine, car , CD player, health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, mortgage, first house, casual wear, briefcase, three-piece suit, DIY, sports programs, junk food, children, walking in AD, nine to five, Golf, car washing, family Christmas, standard annual salary, tax exemption, cleaning the ditch, camp and service until you die. "Youth has no choice, because life chooses the end of youth.

past 22 years, the biggest failure in my life has been to believe in something that I shouldn't believe, because no one believes it at all. When my 22-year-old youth was about to betray me, I proudly said to myself: "You finally look like a dog!" I am going to vulgarity and sinking. This is life.
