Danny Boyle’s “Trainspotting” was not only a smash hit in 1995, but it also went on to become a cult darling. And though it bores the pants off me in the final 30 minutes, this movie still remains one of my favorites. This is mainly because of the purely entertaining and witty first hour. Here are the opening lines where we get to know the philosophy of Renton (Ewan McGregor). Renton is rebelling against the yuppie culture…Reason? Read on….
Renton : [narrating] Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a f*****g 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 leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire-purchase in a range of f*****g fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the f**k you are on Sunday night. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing f*****g junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, f**ked up brats you 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?
