i had to speak up

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2006)

i've just been looking at reviews for this film and was shocked. not only have far to many people trashed the film, but the acting! how can you say that the performances of the protagonists was "awful" and with comments such as "how they got another job after this i don't know"!! compare this film to others staring ewan mcgregor, big fish, or the pillow book, moulin rouge... not just that but the controversial subjects in it are raised perfectly, suggestive without accusing. the directing in this film is amazing, crossing realism and surrealism within one scene. and anyone that says that trainspotting "glamourises" drugs then all i can say is DID YOU NOT WATCH THE FILM???
