One of my favorite movies of all time

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2014)

I just saw this movie after almost twenty years, and not only did it immediately become my favorite Danny Boyle film, but it also became one of my favorite movies of all time. The film follows a group of friends that are heroin addicts, and love to break the law in various ways. It's a very dark comedy, and has an excellent performance from Ewan McGregor as the main character, Mark. My favorite part of the movie was the characters, by far. They are just so interesting, especially Mark. His philosophy, though very disagreeable, is very intriguing. I absolutely love the ending. I suppose the worst part of it for me is the story. It's good, but it wouldn't work without the excellent performances. Also, the Scottish accent is a little distracting, but that is more of a nitpick. In the end, this is a great movie, and deserves a lot more attention.
