I'd rather a train run over than a shit-like life

Choose a life, choose a job, choose a career, choose a family, choose a fucking big TV, choose a washing machine, choose a car, choose a CD player, choose health, choose cholesterol and dental insurance, choose a mortgage, choose to buy your first house, Choose your friends, choose a three-piece suit that pays in installments, watch boring TV on Sundays, eat snacks while watching, choose to linger, choose to wet the bed in a nursing home, lose face in front of dogs and men like you, choose the future, choose life "..."
This is the opening and ending monologue of "Trainspotting". The "Blue Head" brothers betrayed their friends, determined to go to the mediocre and normal middle-class life, and bid farewell to the dirtiest toilet in Scotland. Times. Qingtou merged into the blurred crowd, merged with the faceless people, and disappeared, because his shabby youth has come to an end, which is his luck and sadness.

    That disgusting toilet.

    I've heard the name of "Guessing the Train" and that famous line for more than ten years, and finally watched it. Because I liked the 40-year-old Ivan, I looked back at the 25-year-old. This feeling of getting to know someone against time is amazing.

Trainspotting quotes

  • Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: It wasn't just the baby that died that day. Something inside Sick Boy was lost and never returned. It seemed that he had no theory with which to explain a moment like this... nor did I. Our only response was to keep on going and 'fuck everything'. pile misery upon misery, heap it up on a spoon and dissolve it with a drop of bile, then squirt it into a stinking, puerile vein and do it all over again. Keep on going, getting up, going out, robbing, stealing, fucking people over. Propelling ourselves with longing towards the day that it would all go wrong, because no matter how much you stash, or how much you steal you never have enough. No matter how often you go out and rob and fuck people over, you always need to get up and do it all over again.

  • Spud: [singing] Did you think I would leave you crying, when there's room on my horse for two? Climb up here, Tommy and don't be dying, I can go just as fast with two. When we grow up we'll both be soldiers And our horses will not be toys, and I wonder if we'll remember when we were two little boys.
