What are the wonderful details of "Trainspotting"?

1 is the opening scene where Mark is running down the street with his friends. The camera, like these young people, is wandering with them. Drunk, decadent, staying up all night, still full of energy. The constant shaking flashed past their wind-swept corners, their taut calves in old cowboys, and the chaotic crowd.

Then there was a dull but explosive brake---Mark was hit by a car, but turned over and turned his head to the terrified driver, grinning badly through the front glass of the car. I don't know why that moment reminded me of the foam overflowing when I opened a can of beer. Then, he was led to the front by the friends behind him in a flying manner, and then ran. There are also echoes in this scene 2. There is also the opening line about choice. A classic that many people will never forget.

2 is the part where Begby and Mark confront each other. Loved the low light treatment and set for that scene. Mark said you remember when the teacher asked me to sit next to you in school, you are the oldest, so you are always in the last row. I don't know why I burst into tears when I saw this. It's worth pondering what Begby's expression changes mean at the moment when he finally tries to strangle Mark. Begby is actually a character with a strong sense of presence. Although he does not occupy the most length and appearances, most of the conflicts, turning points, and emotional outbursts are the reasons for him to start. Many clips in 2 are reproduced in 1, and the footage is also paying tribute to many classics. I'd say it's a movie where one can ignore the technology and just focus on the content involuntarily.

I recommended him to a friend who said it was too negative and lacked positive energy, and I never discussed any topic about movies with him again. Nowadays, everyone can write movie reviews, but if they don't understand it, they say it's tricky, and if they feel tired, they say the author is too hypocritical. I would like to say that whether it is mystical or hypocritical or anything else, it is the author's way of expression. And every way of expression deserves everyone's respect. Not only for the work itself, but also for art in any form.

It's all off topic. I won’t talk too much about this topic. In the end, I don’t know why, this film makes me inexplicably miss the past in America.
