The screenplay, by John Hodge, was adapted from Welsh's novel. It does not contain any references to the non-drug-related hobby of train spotting. The title is a reference to an episode in the original book not included in the film where Begbie and Renton meet "an auld drunkard" in the disused Leith Central railway station, which they are visiting to use as a toilet. He asks them, in a weak attempt at a joke, if they are "trainspottin'". As they walk away, Renton realizes the drunk was Begbie's father p, Minerva edition.
Set in Edinburgh, the film begins with a narration from Mark Renton Ewan McGregor as he and friend 'Spud' careen down Princes Street after shoplifting to raise cash, with security guards in pursuit.
Renton states that unlike people who "choose life" a traditional family lifestyle with children and material possessions , he and his cronies have opted out of ambitious pursuits, preferring to live in a blissful, meaningless heroin-induced stupor.
Sick Boy, obsessed with Sean Connery, is also a heroin addict, as is the goofy, innocent Spud. In contrast, Tommy and Begbie openly criticise heroin use. Tommy lives an athletic, drug-free lifestyle. Begbie does not believe in heroin, but he is ironically a vicious drunk, eager to pick fights for the mere thrill of instigating physical altercations. This point is clearly illustrated when Begbie is seen casually throwing his pint glass off a bar balcony, injuring a woman and causing a large-scale pub brawl.
Sick Boy and Renton decide to quit heroin, but struggle with temptation. They join Tommy, Begbie and Spud in a dance club where all five men are in pursuit of sex. The other three men have more complicated nights. After complaining about his relationship problems to his mates, Tommy takes Lizzie home for sex, wishing to make love while watching a porno video of themselves, until they discovered that their own tape was missing and instead, there was a football tape.
Renton had previously stolen their personal tape in the film while claiming to borrow the football video. Tommy believes he returned it to the video rental store accidentally - a point of contention with Lizzie that later leads to the end of their relationship.
Spud drinks too much alcohol, as he's in a temporary abstinent relationship with his girlfriend, Gail. That night when Gail tries to have sex, Spud passes out and defecates on her bed. Renton flirts with a young girl named Dianne, who quickly dissects his bad chat-up lines, but takes him home anyway. After the two have sex, Renton is forced to sleep on a couch outside her bedroom and discovers the next morning that he is actually at her parents' house and that she is under the age of sexual consent.
He tries to end their relationship, but she blackmails him into staying in contact lest she call the police and inform them of their one-night stand. With their quest to be sober not as thrilling as hoped, Sick Boy, Spud and Renton decide to get back on heroin. The film shows a montage of drug taking and dirty dealings, while Renton narrates that he and his mates tried all drugs available to them.

Storyline Edit. A wild, freeform, Rabelaisian trip through the darkest recesses of Edinburgh low-life, focusing on Mark Renton and his attempt to give up his heroin habit, and how the latter affects his relationship with family and friends: Sean Connery wannabe Sick Boy, dimbulb Spud, psycho Begbie, year-old girlfriend Diane, and clean-cut athlete Tommy, who's never touched drugs but can't help being curious about them Choose life.
Choose dental insurance, leisure wear and matching luggage. But why would anyone want to do a thing like that? Rated R for graphic heroin use and resulting depravity, strong language, sex, nudity and some violence.
Did you know Edit. Trivia Although it looks thoroughly off putting, the feces in the Worst Toilet in Scotland scene was actually made from chocolate and smelled quite pleasant.
Goofs After Renton has sex with Diane, he has nothing on his penis, but once he gets kicked out into the hallway, he pulls a condom off. Crazy credits The voice-over during the end of the end credits cites the seven movies in which Sean Connery played "James Bond".
Alternate versions The Special Edition did not feature the trailer and video. These were available in the Green Edition. UK 'Green Edition' video release is in widescreen format and includes the nine extra scenes featured in the box set special edition, the original theatrical trailer which doesn't use any of the film's footage and the complete promotional video of Underworld's Born Slippy, the hit song spawned from the soundtrack.
User reviews Review. Top review. A triumphant masterpiece. Danny Boyle's "Trainspotting" is a film in which everything goes the right way. Few films are fortunate to 'be' at the right time and right place and take the world by storm as "Trainspotting" did, but the ultimate proof of this film's greatness is that if you watched it alone or with a large group of people, in or in , it has the same effect- absolute power.
This film is nothing more- or less- than one of the most effective and perfect artistic works ever committed to celluloid.
Pretty iconic. Staying the night is always fraught with obstacles, but nobody EVER anticipates having to wrestle a poo-filled sheet away from the breakfast table the next morning. Possibly the most disturbing and tragic scenes of the entire film occurs when baby Dawn dies, not only because of the incident itself, but because it doesn't stop the characters going down the path of self-destruction.
Just in case there was any doubt as to how psychotic Begbie is, this scene clears it all up for the viewer. For the look of the film, Boyle was influenced by the colours of Francis Bacon's paintings, which represented "a sort of in-between land — part reality, part fantasy". Template:Main article Boyle had declared his wish to make a sequel to Trainspotting which would take place nine years after the original film, based on Irvine Welsh's sequel, Porno.
He was reportedly waiting until the original actors themselves aged visibly enough to portray the same characters, ravaged by time; Boyle joked that the natural vanity of actors would make it a long wait. Ewan McGregor stated in an interview that he would return for a sequel, saying "I'm totally up for it. I'd be so chuffed to be back on set with everybody and I think it would be an extraordinary experience. In , Boyle said he wanted to make a sequel that would be loosely based on Porno which he has described as "not a great book in the way that Trainspotting , the original novel, is genuinely a masterpiece".
Boyle said that if the sequel happens would be the release date. Welsh stated that the meeting was in order to "explore the story and script ideas.
We're not interested in doing something that will trash the legacy of Trainspotting. We want to do something that's very fresh and contemporary. In a newspaper interview with The Scotsman on 17 November , Welsh revealed that McGregor and Boyle had resolved their differences and had held meetings about the film, saying "I know Danny and Ewan are back in touch with each other again. There are others in the cast who've had a rocky road, but now also reconciled. With the Trainspotting sequel the attention is going to be even more intense this time round because the first was such a great movie—and Danny's such a colossus now.
On 7 September , at the Telluride Film Festival , Boyle stated his next film would be a sequel, tentatively titled Trainspotting 2. In a 27 September interview with ComingSoon. While promoting Steve Jobs in November , Boyle reiterated the hopes of beginning principal photography for the sequel in May and June , and started pre-production in Edinburgh.
Boyle also clarified that John Hodge had written an original screenplay for the sequel, which would not be a strict adaptation of Porno. An earlier script was reportedly written about 10 years prior, but was scrapped and redone so that the original cast would agree to return for a film sequel. The working title for the sequel was T2. According to Carlyle, he and other members of the Trainspotting cast had already read John Hodge's script, which would take place 20 years much like its intended release after the original plot.
Filming started on 16 May , [62] Carlyle praised Hodge's screenplay and hinted that T2 "is going to be quite emotional for people. Because the film sort of tells you to think about yourself. You are going to be thinking: 'Fuck. What have I done with my life? Template:Wikiquote Template:Portal.
