Trainspotting the film!!!...

Well!!!.. Trainspotting is a 1996 British drama film directed by Danny Boyle based on the novel of the same name by Irvine Welsh.
This movie follows a group of heroin addicts in a late 1980s economically depressed area of Edinburgh and their passage through life.
The film stars when Ewan McGregor as Mark Renton, Ewen Bremner as Spud, Jonny Lee Miller as Sick Boy, Kevin McKidd as Tommy, Robert Carlyle as Begbie, and Kelly Macdonald as Diane. Author Irvine Welsh also has a cameo appearance as hapless drug dealer Mikey Forrester....


"The Academy Award-nominated screenplay, by John Hodge, was adapted from Welsh's novel. It does not contain any references to the hobby of train spotting. The title is a reference to an episode in the original book (not included in the film) where Begbie and Renton meet "an auld drunkard" who turns out to be Begbie's estranged father, in the disused Leith Central railway station, which they are visiting to use as a toilet. He asks them if they are "trainspottin'."
Beyond drug addiction, other concurrent themes in the film are exploration of the urban poverty and squalor in "culturally rich" Edinburgh."

The film has been ranked 10th spot by the British Film Institute (BFI) in its list of Top 100 British films of all time. In 2004 the film was voted the best Scottish film of all time.

"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 good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit- crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?..." I chose not to choose life: I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who need reasons when you've got heroin?... Renton of trainspotting..

OKOK!!... One day, Renton decides to quit heroin. He prepares for heroin withdrawal by acquiring soups, pornography, Valium and buckets for vomit, urine, faeces as well as nailing wooden planks over the door. Realising he needs one last high,.... Gritty’ is probably the most used adjectives to describe Trainspotting, teh film that shocks with its graphic portrayal of the lives of a group of Scottish men and their addictions. This isn’t a film for the faint-hearted, though, because it will take a strong stomach to watch as the characters spiral out of control. In Edinburgh, a group of low-life friends are in the depths of a heroin-induced lifestyle. Renton appears to be the only one who genuinely wants to clean up his life and be rehabilitated into society. This proves difficult, though, as his friend continue to drag him down.... What you may expect when reading the plot is a film condoning the use of drugs but within ten minutes of watching you’ll realise you’re watching the heartbreaking story of the destruction of these young men at the hands of their own deadly decisions. Just as it seems things can’t get any worse, Renton and his friends sink to new depths of depravity.
