Especially with the character of Tommy who is a fitness fanatic and clean but turns to drugs when his girlfriend leaves him and he dies a horrible death. Despite its cool reputation it shows the ugliness of addiction. It is trippy, disjointed, hip even amoral in places. Director Danny Boyle infused the film with a kinetic energy helped by its soundtrack. His friends and associates are making it difficult for him to stay clean. Renton experiences the high side of heroin but he knows the low side is too high a price to pay. It is an empty life and he realises he needs to kick the habit but each time he tries to get off heroin something drags him back. Renton (Ewan McGregor) is a heroin addict living day to day, stealing and looking for that hit. Thieves, drug addicts and a violent type of underclass live in doss houses with babies crawling round innocently unaware of the dangers they face.
Trainspotting is a magnetic, exhilarating, repulsive film based in a seedy underbelly of Edinburgh. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin? But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers.
