This movie is shite

Rating: 2/10 (26 July 2013)

I don't really care much for what people are saying about this movie, about how there is a deeper meaning to it all, etc etc blah blah blah, quite literally you will see a lot of sh!t in this movie. There really is no story per se and I don't think that this movie could ever match up to the likes of Snatch and Requiem for a dream. Quite simply its a movie about a bunch of people who do drugs and then hallucinate through half the movie. The rest of the movie is about the main protagonist (Renton) if you could call him that going from one hallucination to another until his parents shut him up in a room to help him get over the habit. Thereafter he steals from his 'friends' and elopes with a lot of money. Between that and the beginning nothing much happens. There are a bunch of other characters I did not feel much for.. Of note is Robert Carlyle's portrayal of Begbie. In the scenes that he appears he steals the limelight and those are about the only scenes that to me were tolerable. So there's not much of a story, a sh!tload of 'bollocks' and somehow this movie is in the IMDb top 250. I suppose you will tell me that it has a cult following.. who are these 'cults', tell them to stay away from sites like IMDb. No sir, trainspotting does not deserve 8.2 stars, money wasted, time wasted. Don't believe me, watch the 2 scenes where Renton goes after pills in a sh!tpot and Spud gets sh!t all over his girlfriend and her parents. Deplorable!
