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.

    Plain and trivial are the essence of life. Even if we are unwilling, we have to admit that we need it and yearn for it. ★★★★★

    I sometimes wonder if people who take drugs are too unhappy, but too happy.

Trainspotting quotes

  • Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: ##The downside of coming off junk was I knew I would need to mix with my friends again in a state of full consciousness. It was awful. They reminded me so much of myself, I could hardly bear to look at them. Take Sick Boy, for instance. He came off junk at the same time as me - not because he wanted to, you understand, but just to annoy me. Just to show me how easily he could do it, thereby downgrading my own struggle. Sneaky fucker, don't you think?

    Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: [narrating] Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?
