all you need and more

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2007)

It's funny how in a movie doing drugs and having no money and living in a one room tiny apartment seems OK. I guess it's because you aren't really living it. Trainspotting is a movie that travels through the lives of Scottish junkies. It is an interesting looks into the world of what I assume to be lower class Scottish society. It seems as though in real life it might be a pretty miserable existence, but the characters in this film make it seem sort of enthralling. The acting is really great and each charter adds their own particular layer to the dynamic of the group. With a kicking soundtrack and killer wardrobe this is a film that I quickly made a member of my DVD collection. There are a lot of really cool shots in this film. Even though the toilet scene is really gross. I love how it is shot, and when he is climbing out of the toilet, genus shot. The ruff-neck character played by the guy from the full Monty is funny he looks like a bird and when he throws the glass on the ladies face is crazy. If you like movies you will like this one it has everything a quality film needs and more!
