movies: Trainspotting

hi all!

You can say something about a group of addicts who try to live life with the typical problems of a society without opportunities with the only hope of reaching the final hit (a euphemism for saying the last dose of heroin ... the one that will take you to the death). is the movie that I liked the most and maybe the one that I feel most represented, I saw her at about eleven years old and I still see her is a masterpiece, in all cinematographic aspects ... according to me

perhaps there is a better intro than these lines:

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life . . . But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life: I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?


at the end of everything that seems to be something unchangeable, with a really unexpected consequence, Renton (the protagonist) seems to overcome everything and to cope with a politically correct life.
