After reading the Chinese translation of the name, the first impression may be that it is a movie about a group of rebellious teenagers taking drugs.
What Trainspotting is talking about, however, is a story of growth.
A story that you and I have both experienced more or less.
Growth is an important process of compromise.
Another way of saying it is to be shaped by society into a person that society expects.
The gist of the whole movie is in the two monologues at the beginning and the end.
The opening monologue says: "Choose Life, choose a job, choose a career, choose a family, choose a fucking big television, choose washing machine, cars, compact disc players, electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance...Choose your friends...Choose leisure wears and matching luggage, choose wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday Morning...Choose your future, choose life."
Our lives are those choices, and On the other hand, our choice must be this kind of life in the end, and there is no escape.
But for a while, some people won't and won't believe it's true. We fantasize that we will be different, that we will find the ultimate value that will allow you to give out everything in your life, that every day will be meaningful, that you will be dismissive of those you don’t like, and that you will not like things He sneezed into his nose.
Like the protagonist in the movie, the opening monologue says "But why would I do the thing like that? I choose not to choose life. I choose something else. And the reasons? There are no reason. Who needs reasons when you've got a heroin?"
He chose not to choose life, but heroin.
Indulge in the heroin life, there is no daily to be or not to be,
no need to choose friends, choose studies, choose what to do, what to buy,
you only need to worry about whether there is enough heroin,
you can Days indulge in more orgasmic enjoyment than sex.
Perhaps you will call this immature and childish behavior. But have you ever had the idea of cheating like this for a moment? It's those thoughts that deviate from the norm and choose those thoughts. This is not to discuss the pros and cons of drug use, but perhaps, we are all too good for society's subtlety.
After the uninhibited and unencumbered youth, if you don't want to be eliminated by this ever-changing society, you still have to return to life and return to those established choices.
Just like the protagonist, he finally decided to give up the companions he once indulged with, embezzled the huge money from selling drugs, and chose you, me, and an ordinary people. Just like the monologue at the end
"I am going to change, This is the last of that sort of thing. Now i am cleaning up and moving on, going straight and choosing life. I am looking forward to it already. I am going to be just like you. The job, the family , the fucking big television. The washing machine, the cars, the compact disc, electrical tin openers. Good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance...." In the
end, you have to choose your life.
