"Psychedelic Train" is about things that don't come to the surface on weekdays. It's a story told to you by a Scotsman that a group of English princes and nobles and a group of CEOs in London's Canary Wharf turned a blind eye. But instead of robbing fringe communities with sadness, use dark humor instead. It is boring and funny, and it is closer to real life, so that the audience can enter the play with their own viewpoints.
In the play, Mark Renton said in one sentence: "What people forget most of the time is the pleasure of it..." He added a few more lines and said, if it's not enjoyable, will you weigh it again? I am not dead stupid. Fun, two words run through the whole set. I think the more emotional ones are only 3 episodes - Alison's child died, Mark nearly died, Tommy died - 3 (nearly) fatal incidents due to drugs. But the negative atmosphere passes quickly, isn't it true in real life too?
Several of the protagonists in the play, Qiqi, are boring, stupid, wretched, ignorant, violent, stealing, abducting, and deadly speaking - "Society is scum, scum, thief white party, dead fly boy". Also, they're Scots - "I've been scum in the dirt, I'm a scum... Colonized by D waste wood (British guys)". The film gives off a rancid smell of Britain that not everyone can afford. Just like the scene in the movie "Scotland's Worst Public Toilet", rubbish and grime are soaked in pools of gray sewage, feces accumulate in the clogged toilet, and bursts of feces and urine stink, and walk in. It is best to leave this hellish place immediately - forget it, as if it does not exist in this splendid British Empire, which preserves the "nation" and "self-respect" that people are proud of.
However, the protagonists have their own interpretations of outstanding characters, and we found that there is no difference between "them" and "us". The only difference among the protagonists is that Mark, as the narrator, seems to have more "smart roots". From the beginning to the end of the play, he has undergone a 180-degree change. It seems that among the protagonists, he is the only one who has grown up. It can even be seen at the end of the film. The comparison between him and those pig friends and dog friends.
The music in the film has an inseparable relationship with the theme and is a part of the life of this subcultural group. They love and listen to these things on weekdays. The song is not only to create a plot atmosphere, but itself is one of the entry points for the audience to touch this group.
Those who are familiar with British music culture will find indescribable resonance in the play. To understand how the Sex Pistols rudely roared God Save the Queen on stage, how offensive the royal family or the self-righteous Brits were; when Pulp sang Common People, how liberating the crowd felt when Pulp sang Common People- ─You also know what British pop music means.
The film was made at a time when Britpop was returning, similar to Blur's strong "Englishness" interpretation style, which is also found in the film, and it is not difficult to reminiscent of their MTV. More funny is the scene where the four protagonists cross the road in the fixed shot, just like the cover of the Beatles music album "Abbey Road".
Film as a kind of popular culture, Sick Boy in the play often talks about it. "Usu Andress, she is a model of a Bond girl. Everyone says that her superiority is reflected in me. She is beautiful, exotic and gay. No one can come close to her except Zuo James Bond, top her! But Let's face it, he's going to bed with the Edinburgh guy on the left, just like everyone else in my life." One of his most wonderful and beautiful dialogues.
This countryman not only enjoys sex with fans, but also enjoys family robbery and robbery, makes friends stupid, has a good time in bed, has a lot of fun, and is bored, and is a real estate agent. ...From the first act of the opening wave with the strong and exciting rock music, until the last spring, the proud Mark grabbed his friend's bag of money and fled, with the jumping Disco music to accompany the book, a perfect ending, it feels like opening After the express car, there were waves of ups and downs in front of him. At the end of the play, you can have all kinds of serious thinking, but it must first return you to the purest fun - enjoyment.
