1)Mark
"Rent-boy" Renton: The downside of coming off junk was I knew I would need
to mix with my friends again in a state of full consciousness. It was awful. They
reminded me so much of myself, I could hardly bear to look at them.
2)1st
Interviewer: Mr. Murphy, do you mean that you lied on your application?
Spud: No. Uh. Yes. Only to get my foot
in the door. Showing initiative and that like. 1st
Interviewer: But you were referred here by the department of
employment, there was no need for you to get your "foot in the door,"
as you put it. Spud: Ehhh... cool. Whatever
you say, I'm sorry. You're the man. The dude in the chair.

Mark
"Rent-boy" Renton: "Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a
career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing
machines, cars, compact disk 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 suit on higher
purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wonder who the
fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sittin' on that couch watching
mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game-shows, stuffing fucking junk food
into your mouth. Choose rottin' away at the end of it all, pissin' your
last in a miserable home nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish,
fucked-up brats that you've spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your
future. Choose life. But why would I want to do a thing like that? I
chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There
are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?"
Review:Trainspotting
follows the adventures of a young group of heroin-addicted friends. Trainspotting
used a variety of cinematic techniques. The "trip sequences" in particular are
quite innovative. Only Easy Rider and The Doors
come as close to capturing the feel and look of drug use on film. An amazing soundtrack
of classic punk and New Wave Brit pop also adds to the atmosphere of the film.
