My favorite movie!

Rating: 10/10 (11 August 2002)

spoilers ahead!
Trainspotting is the best movie I have ever seen. It tells the story of 5 Scottish guys of whom 4 are addicted to Heroine,told from the perspective of Mark Renton(Ewan McGregor,in academy-award winning form). The only man who isn't a smackhead is Begbie(Robert Carlyle in a great performance),he just drinks a lot.
Everything in this movie is brilliant,the dialogues are an absolute delight to hear especially because of those Scottish accents. Each scene has it's own delights and are all very different. From shocking(the dead baby scene),to unreal(the toilet scene with Mark)to absolutely hilarious(the scene in which Spud wakes in his girlfriends house).
The movie is accompanied by a great soundtrack which is not for decoration like a lot of soundtracks but really gives an extra dimension to each scene.For example,when Mark goes to London to get away from drugs you hear this commercial house song by Ice MC and when Mark is in his room and goes into the Junkie limbo(my favorite scene) you hear a dark pounding song by Underworld.
Ewan McGregor and Robert Carlyle are the highlights actingwise,But each actor gives a great performance.
Overall,this is the best film I have ever seen and it really gets up to the level of the novel by Irvine Welsh,my favorite modern writer(read Acid House!). 10/10
