"I haven't felt that good since Archie Gemmill scored against Holland in 1978!"
I work a later shift today, so I spent the morning watching the film that ensures I will never try HEROIN.EWAN MCGREGOR stars as Renton in the great DANNY BOYLE film "TRAINSPOTTING," one of the best films of the 1990s -- British or otherwise.
I like how the film mixes hilarious comedy and heart-breaking drama. Who can ever forget the sight of the dead baby, eh?
Or this exchange during the aborted nature hike:
Tommy: Doesn't it make you proud to be Scottish?
Renton: It's shite being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of the f***ing Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some hate the English. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are colonized by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized by. We're ruled by effete a**holes. It's a shite state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and all the fresh air in the world won't make any f***ing difference!
Then there's the soundtrack. Dead brilliant, it is. I particularly love "Born Slippy" by UNDERWORLD at the climax as well as "Temptation" by HEAVEN 17 at the nightclub.
The actors have all gone on to bigger and better things, and most people will associate Boyle with "Slumdog Millionaire" these days.
Me? I have a soft spot in my heart for "Trainspotting."
