This movie was about a group of people who only cared about drugs. Mark Renton(the main character) realizes that there has to be other things in life, and tries to change. This movie helped launch Ewan McGregor's(Mark) acting career. "Trainspotting" was taken place in Scotland. The dialogue was a little hard to understand during the whole movie. Although the movie had a modern sense of humor and it was a hilarious comedy about heroin addicts. The movie was based on the book by Irvine Welsh. During the movie, while Mark and his friends are trying to treat they're addiction, Mark gets caught in a love affair with an underage school girl.
Mark's two best friends are also junkies: Sick Boy, who is a snappy dresser obsessed with James Bond, and Spud, a nerd. He also hangs out with Begbie, a borderline psychotic who loathes junkies even though he drinks like a fish.
After getting in trouble with the law so many times, Mark tries to stop heroin and moves to London. While in London he finds a job but eventually his druggy friends arrive at his doorstep leading Mark back into drugs and crime.
This movie was entertaining yet depressing. But even in the sad parts it's comedy uplifted the film. The soundtrack was perfect for the film. The actors were amazing and it was overall a good movie.
