Trainspotting

By now, most people should know that Trainspotting is about Herion addicts. And that is *very* graphic.

Admittly, the main reason I remeber Trainspotting is it was the first movie I really noticed Ewan in. Because of his terrible haircut, it was his acting ability that made me like him. (I still think he looks a *lot* worse with a number 1 haircut, than with long hair. His perfect hairlength is roughly the same length he had in The Phantom Menace.)

The first two scenes that come to my mind, when I think about Trainspotting are the famous loo scene - the one where Ewan's character is dragged into a horrible toliet in a drug-induced hallucination. The second is the one where they find the baby has died, because they've forgetton about it for a couple of days. So it has died of dehrydration, while they were too concerned with herion.

"Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers... choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mindnumbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose Life ...

But why would I want to do a thing like that?"
