The THIRD BEST EVER

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 1999)

I can say many things about this movie:
1. Danny Boyle (director) did perhaps, the best direction of his career 2. The script is a 5 star novel by Irvin Welsh 3. This movie has to be seen many times, because every time you see it, the understanding of it will be different. 4. Too good to be RECOGNIZED by everyone. 5. Obvously too good for an Oscar 6. The cast couldn't be better, leading EWAN McGREGOR that plays the confused Mark Reton, then ROBERT CARLYLE the astonishing performance of the neo-ultraviolent hooligan Begbie,... 7. Bunch of highly sick people put together, the camera shots are unusual, the sound editing, and of course, the soundtrack. 8. The soundtrack of SOUNDTRACKS, music by LOU REED, IGGY POP, BLUR, UNDERWORLD, ETC..
This is the one of 2 movies that are a-temporal of its time, a movie that gives you that feeling of weird greatness, THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU'VE SEEN JUST ANOTHER KIND OF MOVIE, THAT LEAVES YOU SHOCKED. TRAINSPOTTING is like A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, a movie that overwhelms the other ones made in its time.
TRAINSPOTTING IS THE MOVIE OF THE 90's.....

(sorry pulp fiction!)
