An underrated masterpiece!

"Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career... But why would I want to do a thing like that?" Even if you haven't seen Trainspotting, you'll be aware of the opening lines of Danny Boyle's 1996 masterpiece, and those opening lines are a pure reflection of whats going to happen and why you should avoid doing whats been done in the whole movie, if you want the option to "Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career....". I saw this movie recently and in my opinion it's a masterpiece, a lot of people don't give the deserved credit to this movie simply because they've missed the point of the movie, this is not a drug appealing movie, this is a anti-drug movie. Trainspotting is brave enough to bring a humour and levity to the subject of drug abuse, without ever ignoring the accompanying and unavoidable squalor and devastation, and that's why this movie deserves so much credit, after 20 years this is still useful to reflect about life choices and drugs.
