The film was shot in 1996, but the film's plot seems to be set in the late 1970s or early 1980s. This film may be the famous work of Ewan McGregor when he was young and weak. In Edinburgh, Scotland, a group of young people with almost no faith and culture live a decadent life. The film reproduces the life experience of such a social group in a very real way. This is an alternative movie, some people think it is a banned film, and some people think it is suitable for young people to learn as a teaching material.

    Danny Bauer's masterpiece, both of which use stylized audio-visual language to describe drug abuse, is still not as powerful as "Requiem for Dreams". The director used a large number of low-camera back-up shots + psychedelic punk soundtrack + decadent and gorgeous colors + surrealist scenes + stream-of-consciousness narrative + neutral perspective to express the degenerate and confused fringe life. Regarding the choice of the opening remarks, the paragraph of laughing pee playing billiards, the ocean in the toilet and the bedroom illusion paragraphs are very classic. (8.8/10)

    Depravity also requires talent.

Trainspotting quotes

  • Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: Thank you, your honor. With God's help I'll conquer this terrible affliction.

  • Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: [narrating] I wished that I'd gone down instead of Spud. Here I was surrounded by my family and my so-called mates and I've never felt so alone. Never in all my puff. Since I was on remand, they've had me on this program, this state sponsored addiction. Three sickly sweet doses of methadone a day instead of smack. But it's never enough. And at the moment it's nowhere near enough. I took all three this morning and now I've got eighteen hours to go until my next shot. I've got sweat on my back like a layer of frost. I need to visit the Mother Superior for one hit. One final hit to get us over this long, hard day.

    [to Swanney 'Mother Superior']

    Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: What's on the menu this evening, Sir?

    Swanney: Your favorite dish.

    Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: Excellent.

    Swanney: Your usual table, Sir.

    Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: Oh, why thank you.

    Swanney: Would Sir care to pay for his bill in advance?

    Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: No. Stick it on my tab.

    Swanney: Ah, regret to inform, sir, credit limit was reached and breached quite some time ago.

    Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: Oh, well in that case...

    [hands him some cash]

    Swanney: Ah, hard currency. Thank you, Sir. Can't be too careful these days. Would Sir care for a starter of some garlic bread perhaps?

    Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: No, thank you. I will proceed directly to the intravenous injection of hard drugs, please.
