the audience applauded

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

DEPRESSING JUNKIES IN A DEPRESSING FILM!!! what a terrible overrated Piece of crap!!! I just wanted all the VILE JUNKIES TO DIE!!! nothing else to say????? Utter garbage & i HATED EVERY CHARACTER in the film

I've been wanting to see this film for ages and i'm really glad i saw it, this film is incredible. This is the first film i've seen from Danny Boyle and his directing was basically perfect. He directed in such a way that you felt a part of Mark Reton's life. The script was incredible to, Ewan Mcgregor's opening speech blew me away. Very explicit sex and drug use which made you feel more involved and made the movie more intense. This movie really had a great way of showing what drug addiction is really like and how it can really mess up your life. The soundtrack is also great, Iggy Pop's lust for life is one of my favorite original songs and fitted really well with the opening scene. Another thing that really made this film stand out is the slightly sure real moments that it brings which makes it so original, the humor is fantastic. Over all i was on the edge of my seat with this movie and i loved every minute of it

Trainspotting is, in my opinion, a masterpiece. Sitting somewhere between glorious and spectacular it encompasses some of the best direction, acting and music choices. It's dirty, gritty but most importantly human. Cinema should not be easy- some of the most loved and adored films are those which butt heads with the audiences morals. (e.i. Pulp fiction, Leon)As a Brit it is almost a right of passage to watch this film but that may be the films downfall. A lot of the comedy and key elements are centered to British society. Then again British films never are very universal. In short Trainspotting is a gift to cinema and tackles the difficult subject matter with grace and in a way which is accessible to the audience (at leas the British audience) I can not recommend this movie more, especially in the new age tidal wave of passable Hollywood movies.

A different mood, a humor that comes from pure disgrace and is transmuted to create comic, absurd, intelligent situations, containing criticisms, great character constructions and an editing and editing that so the tone of British humor that certainly inspired the films of Edgar Wright and Darren Aronofsky's "Requiem for a Dream" - both great directors in the new generation - so "Trainspotting" has its charm. With a linear but completely crazy script that abstracts within its paranoia a story that tries to develop and hangs, tries and stops, and in the end, it walks, the lack of development of the story is compensated with a great development of the characters, the whole The main class of the film is well-crafted, even if it's for seconds, we do not have that ghost-member story, they're all understandable, with unique and completely clinging personalities and worldviews. We have the story of Renton (Ewan McGregor), an inconsequential young adult who lives a broken life, heroin addicted and practicing lawlessness to keep up the habit and life, which has a gang of friends in the best club style of the 5, we see the Dramas and anxieties of all, until they are solved by practicing a coup, reading like this, seems a drama, but make no mistake, the dramatic tone of the script is compensated by the great and hilarious direction of the film. The message here is very clear: Do not use drugs, not because you will enter a world without return, but because it will temporarily sink, and this temporary can be forever, confused, but the film explains, we also have a criticism of the abandonment of Addicted and even a questioning about friendship, and a conjecture about the importance of social contact, our character might be better if he did not force himself to submit to this contact to help his friends. The technique applied, and very well applied here by the beginning director Danny Boyle, we have a fast and fleeting assembly, alienated with a series of cuts and different plans that pass, euphoria, sadness, depression, joy and solitude, the director knows how to use in the Different scenes, as for example in the trips of Reanton, where we have several quick cuts to pass its euphoria, and open plans to pass its solitude and closes to pass the climate of its degradation, all this in a scene. Consequently we have a great mix of sound and a soundtrack that mixes from this pop to classical music, and this mix is ​​great and talks to every feeling of the montage. All the performances here, no exceptions are wonderful, all the actors seem to have been born for the role and could not be different, it would be ridiculous to quote everyone, but they all perform completely wonderful performances. The film has problems, of course, is not perfect, the lack of direction in its script is one of them, but it is a great film, which attracts generations for its aesthetics and attracted me by its direction and performances, is said young classic.
