Trainspotting

It’s a movie where you feel that you have been drugged. At least, I felt that! Danny Boyle’s 1996 blockbuster follows a group of heroin addicts & their course through life. The concept of the movie is fantastic. It’s not easy to make a movie based on drug addiction. Taking drugs, having sex, rehab, drug dealing, stealing, prison life and what not! The actors have done an excellent job. It’s probably the best movie I have watched in recent time. Here’s a small snippet of the movie…

Choose Life
Choose a job
Choose a career
Choose a family
Choose a fucking 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 fucking fabrics.
Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking 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, fucked 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 got heroin?
