Trainspotting 2 warm up

Rating: 8/10 (14 December 2016)

So, I see the T2 trailer and first prayed to the holy film god of Hitchcock that it wasn't a remake of Terminator 2 with Woody Allen as the T-1000, Then after realising it was indeed a sequel to the excellent Trainspotting, I thought: Well, lets re watch Trainspotting (To be known as TS from now on) again to get me in the mood.
It is one of the defining films of the 90's and the message within resonates today. I think the film is good how it allows the viewer to make up their own minds on drug, rather than pushing an anti drug/pro drug agenda. There are some sad parts to the film, but in general the message I got was 'do what thy wilt- but choose life if possible'.
A kind of Crowley-Esq modern take if you will.
TS has so much going for it still, wonderfully shot and written - with superb acting from all of the cast. I don't need to go on about how good it is anyway as it's reputation precedes it. What I would like to add though is that in regards to T2- I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope that Danny Boyle doesn't do a JJ Abrams on it and basically re does the first film (A new Hope) and sell it as something original (The Farce awakens), because judging by the trailer - he might unfortunately do just that.
