Born slippy fuxxs!!!

Rating: 8/10 (18 August 2006)

This extraordinary movie called "Trainspotting" is not an apology to the sex and drug like the one track minded donkeys argue,it's the story of a foursome of misfits and unadapted freaky,going against the rotten and boring system,a hallucinating journey against the establishment,the first running through the grey streets of Edimburg presents a thief but reflexive Renton(the phenomenal Ewan MC Gregor)and his famous phrase "choose..." and the beat of "Lust for life" by Iggy Pop,from the beginning we felt the vertigo of this flick,the rest of the meanies Sickboy(Johnny Lee Miller)a total drugged fan of 007,Spud(Bremmner)the nerd of the pack,Begbie(a sinister as amoral Robert Carlyle,he reminds me a little bit of Gary Oldman) seemed the "smartest wise-guy" of the bunch,he seemed the more,more, a crazy racing of easy and hard dopes,crimes,nights of disco and the next step the sex(THE WISE GUY was not,found a herring drag!!!)will show us Diane apart,the world of decadence product of a society full of hypocrisy and false values. The final and worst "travel" by Renton result of the coke is the point of the break,a splendid "Perfect Day" by Lou Reed serves like a bizarre guide to our antihero:"You're going to reap just what you sow" road to the hospital,the ultimate sting showed us the time to change,after to commit a steal the quartet sleeps in a cheap hostel,Begbie so secure in himself takes care the bounty,but Renton gets the money despite the Begbie's "safeness",in the road to the "choose your life" he thinks about his already former pals:Begbie a wicked guy forever,Sickboy a doped bulk forever,but Spud was rewarded because he was only a little bit misled but capable to put straight the new path.
Beating us Underworld with the rushing "Born Slippy Nuxx"(a great hit from an excellent soundtrack)Renton decides to get a normal life: wife, children, TV,car,his own house,an average job and the more stuffs of the consumer society for today;great story so many mistaken guys can wish the Renton's real craving:The redemption to oneself. A total movie of cult without unnecessary crimes and charmless slayers as bad actors(Lewis&Harrelson)like "NBK" and shameless of their loathly acts,so close to "A clockwork Orange"(note in the disco the fair tribute to the "ACO")but Boyle is not Kubrick and there is the difference,nevertheless the movie is superb and the end delivered us a positive message of being a new person,even when we may be in disagree with cruel the society in which we live in. To want to be "someone else,someone new" like Reed wrote his tune.
