"And the reasons? There are no reasons" - Trainspotting


"Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a f****** 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 suit on hire purchase in a range of f****** fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the f*** you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing f****** 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*****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 (...)
" Renton (Ewan McGregor) in Trainspotting.

I watched that movie yesterday and I liked it. I'm surprised because it is the "anti-me" movie. There are scenes that would make anyone throw up. Scenes that I wish I hadn't seen. Nevertheless, the movie is quite good. I preferred the second part of the film, the first one was just too much. Oh, and Ewan was brilliant. It is amazing that the film is directed by Danny Boyle, who also directed "Slumdog Millionaire", they are such different movies.

Vi esa película ayer y me gustó. Me sorprender porque es la "anti-película" que me podría gustar a mí. Hay algunas escenas de vomitar. Escenas que ojalá no hubiera visto. Sin embargo, la peli es bastante buena. Me gustó más la segunda mitad, la primera era un poco demasiado. Y Ewan está genial en la película. Es increíbe que sea del mismo director, Danny Boyle, de "Slumdog Millionaire", son películas totalmente diferentes.
