A
fascinating film that takes audiences into a subculture not often seen on the
big screen. This subculture is
that of the heroine addict. Ewan McGregor plays Renton the protagonist and narrator
of this film. Through his
narration audiences get a glimpse of the everyday struggles of a heroin addict. This film gripes viewers early on in a
way a burning car attracts a crowd.
It’s fascinating to hear the motives behind a heroin addict’s actions. McGregor is so convincing in his role
it took me about three quarters of the film just to recognize him. The plot is surprising to say the
least, at one moment I was laughing and the next sitting in shock. This film takes such a turn I found
myself rooting for someone I believed to be scum in the beginning of the
film. I would highly recommend this
film to anyone looking for something different. Everything from the acting to the soundtrack is spot on in
Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting.
