Standard life

"Choose life, work, occupation, family. Choose a fucking big TV. Choose washing machine, car, laser player, electric can opener. Choose health, low caliber, low sugar. Choose fixed-rate mortgage. Choose a starting point, choose a friend, choose a sportswear and a suitcase. Choose a fucking three-piece suit....
Choose DIY, and on a Sunday morning, you fucking can’t figure out who you are. Choose to be bored on the sofa. A superb show, stuffing junk food in your mouth. Choosing to be rotten, your sperm creates a selfish kid to replace you, can be said to be the most shameless thing. Choose your future, your life.
But why should I do it? I choose not to live, I choose something else. The reason? There is no reason. As long as there is heroin, what reason is there?" From the

beginning, "Guessing Train" was a crackling monologue of the hero. I think this is a parallelism. The greatest value the world can play. After listening to his utterance without breathing, I was sure that this passage would be the classic line of "Guessing the Train", which was indeed the case after Baidu verified it. Then I posted it to shake (thunder) everyone.
The above twenty-odd "choices" have almost skewered most human lives to form a system, just like a pack of 12 kebabs in a supermarket refrigerator, each kebab is exactly the same. The leading actor and several young Scottish youths gave up this standard of life, and chose a peak that can be reached without climbing-smoking heroin. The peak experience that heroin brings to them can replace everything in life, including sex. And the actor, after repeated detoxification treatments, finally chose the same life route as the billions of other people on the planet, choosing the standard life projects that he first spurned.

Britain can always make such films. "A Clockwork Orange", "This Is Britain", etc., all reflect the carnival of a group of degenerate and anti-social young people. Are the young people in Britain particularly close to hell? I don't think so. It's just that this country has a universal depth of thinking, and it also has the world's leading creative thinking. They can always reveal the scars of life easily, and they have no problems.
Britain and China should be the same, harmony is the main theme, only the edge is the zone of corruption and carnival. But discussing the main theme is not helpful to discussing human nature, because the more unified, the more the main theme of the culture, the stronger the collectivism characteristics such as organization, discipline, stability, and mechanical... weak. A civilization with deep thoughts will go to those dark and edge corners to search for human nature. Although there will be more evils, at least the flowers of human nature can be reflected from these evils.
So what are superficial civilizations? The United States is, and China is currently, probably too. (Don’t mention 5000 years of civilization to me first, I’m talking about the present)

Standardized life is an undifferentiated life model. From birth, your childhood, youth, old age, and death schedule are doomed, just like me every day The correspondence between the No. 53 bus, the on-board TV program table, the roadside scenery, and the time of arrival are all disgustingly accurate. Except for me, most of this city, this country, most people in this world, and most of the planets in this universe, mostly follow an unchanging trajectory. Those who occasionally jump out of their tracks are mostly like those planets that jump out of their tracks and eventually fall.
So, who would dare to get out of the track that makes one feel safest?
The deviant male protagonist in "Guessing the Train" finally struggled towards the standard life of the middle class, and his obsessive pig friend and dog friend either died or continued to perish.
The author, the script, and the director themselves are so desperate, they did not give a little hope of escaping from the standard life.

But I think it's not like this, life shouldn't be like this. 6 billion people should have 6 billion lives. Our happiness and destiny should not be fabricated by God, no matter how sacred this God is.
If we want to break away from the norm and the mainstream, it does not mean that we have to fall on the edge; we have to have our own peak in life, and heroin is by no means our choice. We have to watch our footsteps and climb step by step.
Are these things so difficult?
Whatever (allow me to play some English-_-)
If this is a mortal road (deer), then let us be martyrs.

Trainspotting quotes

  • [last lines]

    Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: Now I've justified this to myself in all sorts of ways. It wasn't a big deal, just a minor betrayal. Or we'd outgrown each other, you know, that sort of thing. But let's face it, I ripped them off - my so called mates. But Begbie, I couldn't give a shit about him. And Sick Boy, well he'd done the same to me, if he'd only thought of it first. And Spud, well okay, I felt sorry for Spud - he never hurt anybody. So why did I do it? I could offer a million answers - all false. The truth is that I'm a bad person. But, that's gonna change - I'm going to change. This is the last of that sort of thing. Now I'm cleaning up and I'm moving on, going straight and choosing life. I'm looking forward to it already. I'm gonna be just like you. The job, the family, the fucking big television. The washing machine, the car, the compact disc and electric tin opener, good health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, mortgage, starter home, leisure wear, luggage, three piece suite, DIY, game shows, junk food, children, walks in the park, nine to five, good at golf, washing the car, choice of sweaters, family Christmas, indexed pension, tax exemption, clearing gutters, getting by, looking ahead, the day you die.

  • Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: People think it's all about misery and desperation and death and all that shit which is not to be ignored, but what they forget is the pleasure of it. Otherwise we wouldn't do it. After all, we're not fucking stupid. At least, we're not that fucking stupid.
