"Choose a life, choose a job, choose a career, choose a family. Choose a fucking big TV. Choose a washing machine, a car, a laser recorder, an electric can opener. Choose a healthy, low-calorie road, low-sugar. Choose a fixed-rate mortgage. Choose a starting point, choose a friend, choose a tracksuit and a suitcase. Choose a fucking three-piece suit.… Choose a DIY, and on a Sunday morning, don’t fucking figure out who you are. Choose to look bored on the couch A terrific show, stuffing junk food into your mouth. It can be said to be the most shameless thing to choose corruption and make a selfish kid from your sperm to replace you. Choose your future, your life. But why should I do it? I choose not to live, I choose other. The reason? There is no reason. As long as there is heroin, what reason is there?

This is the opening line of the film "Trainspotting". The pleasure brought by smoking heroin is unparalleled. Great orgasm times 1000 times; nothing compares, better than any dick, better than any cock in the world. So why don't we use heroin? There's only one problem with drugs: billing. No If you have no money, you can't get drunk. If you have money, you drink too much. If you don't have a horse, you can't do it. If you have a horse, you will have a lot of quarrels. You have to worry about bills, food, football that you can't win, and relationships. Worst of all, fooling around with friends while fully awake is not a good thing, I don't think so. But with addiction, it doesn't matter.

The film is about a group of people in Edinburgh, Scotland in the 90s The youth of the youth is unbridled. A group of street gangsters, doing nothing all day, in order to be able to take heroin, stealing, robbing, stealing drugs, stealing prescriptions to buy drugs, changing packages, forging, copying. Taking drugs with cancer patients, alcoholics, and pensioners for the elderly , AIDS patients exchanged with bored housewives. Taking morphine, heroin, codeine, tranquilizers, sleeping pills, barbiturates, painkillers, narcotics, relaxants. The streets are full of drugs for depression and pain, and they all drink.

The cosmopolitan nature of the field of consciousness brings a variety of cultural shocks to their minds, leaving them disengaged and diverse in social values. At the end of the century in England, Europe and the whole world, there is again a lack of spirituality in the younger generation, who are not establishing any spiritual father in any sense. They believe in themselves, and they struggle between knowing themselves, returning to themselves, and integrating into society. They don't want to repeat the stereotyped life trajectory of their parents, and they can't find the path they really want to go. They are extremely disgusted with reality and are very uncertain about the future, so they choose to avoid life and choose heroin. We know that we will live like millions of people sooner or later, but we never want it to be true. We struggle, wander, search for a way out to despair. Merge into the blurred crowd, merge with the faceless people, and choose to live a mediocre life. Fuck the choice.
