A work of genius .....

Rating: 10/10 (12 April 2016)

Dear Danny Boyle,
you did a great job adapting Irvine Welsh's book. Welsh himself was very happy with your film. He remarked that he did not want a film that only a few bores would want to watch. And that it had to be made in a certain way and you understood this. The film incorporated nearly every single character in the book. Except for Second Prize of course.
The editing deserves special mention. Especially the part where the amatory exertions of the three couples are interwoven together. You managed to say a large chunk of the story in a few minutes through some great cutting. I also loved the way you used music to move the story forward. The film began with a bang with the three junkies running to Iggy Pop's Lust for Life. The use of Perfect Day by Lou Reed during Renton's breakdown was also brilliant.
The performances were extraordinary. Did you notice that Woody Allen cast Ewen Mcgregor, Ewen Bremmer and John Lee Miller in his movies after Trainspotting released? Robert Carlyle, Kelly McDonald, Peter Mullan and Kevin McKidd deserve special mention.
It is one of those films where you feel like the characters are your best friends. You feel sad when the film ends. You got everything right, Danny. Looking forward to Porno now.
Best Regards, Pimpin.
