“I am going to be just like you.”



I did not drink, I did not do drugs, or smoke but when this movie came out 12 years ago I loved it. I read the book, had the soundtrack, as a matter of fact I think I owned the movie. Trainspotting was a seminal 90’s movie if I recall well. For what? Something to do with rave culture, I would not know…Personally it probably appealed to my repressed; scholarship earner, extra curricular activity doer, good girl persona.
I just saw the movie on Sunday and enjoyed it so much again: the story, the soundtrack, the characters, they are all great. It deserves to be the cult classic that it is.
Bonus: Renton (Ewan McGregor) is dressed like the perfect hipster! It was the tight jeans I guess.
