7 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Trainspotting

Trainspotting is one of those movies you don't think you'll like but end up loving

[@realJimMarshall]

I would say a lot of Danny Boyle's movies don't sound like a movie you'd like but in the end you end up loving it. A poor Indian boy who goes on "Who Want's to be a Millionaire" and was able to answer the questions from learning trivia in his troubled past? The only reason why I gave that movie a shot is because I like the director, and I'm glad I did because that was an amazing movie.

Oddly more relevant now then it was when it came out

[@EarlOfMaladyCrescent]

I knew Ewen Bremner played Renton in the stage version of "Trainspotting". He didn't want to step down and play Spud, but he realised it was right for the film. Danny Boyle respected him a lot for that.

[@jasminjones5417]

McGregor wasn't necessarily first choice for Renton, he was given a script and told "we aren't offering this to you but just have a read" (or similar) but he liked it so much and dedicated himself to it that they ultimately cast him; see his SAG Foundation interview where he discusses this, and many other films. It's interesting af.

[@MarkHoltze]

Train spotting was one of those films as a Canadian (North American audience) 17 year old that changed the way I watched movies. Loved the story telling, the setting, characters, editing, music, shots...love it. Now I'm super excited for Spotting 2 but no way am I hyping it or attempting to hold it to the same standard as the first. Just want to see the gang back and happy they're all coming back after 21 years.

[@52BLUE]

After having read the book, I can say the accents were purposefully made difficult to understand, depending on who's talking. Different characters have thicker accents and whenever writing in the third person, depending on who it is, it can be a real challenge to read how they voice their thoughts and speech. So well written. There's also a heap of very dark and hilarious content which didn't make the film. Highly recommend giving it a go, even if you're not big into books, like myself.

[@phillipwalklett2024]

I've read the book 3 times and the are still bits that I can't "translate" same in all his books,, an I've read em all crept "Siamese" Twins " ( hopefully getting off Santa" "Choose Irvine"

[@arroscoffee]

I'm experiencing the same thing right now! Currently reading Porno. I couldn't understand Begbie's and Sick Boy's that much, but I've pretty much got fond of it anyway.

[@audioxix]

Not really. You should visit edinburgh in the work class areas and you will understand the accent is accurate, especially spuds. That is a total edinburgh accent.

[@rachbee8087]

As a Scot, specifically Muirhouse Edin, I think the actors were spot on. Sickboy and Rents are meant to be the less jakey of the lot, and Begbie and Spud are meant to be a lot broader.

[@CTScenic]

Rereading this book for first time in years. Amazing how you can basically get it even thru the accent and slang. And such a dark and funny and tragic book! Kind of a relief not being in the subject age group this go-round.

[@punkjesus10887]

T2: Trainspotting 2 is going to decide one of the two things for me: 1. Danny Boyle is an amazingly good director of this era. (because one bad film isn't gonna make him look bad in the long run) 2. Danny Boyle is one of the greatest directors of this era.

[@Human472]

It's #2 though right?

[@shanewilliams35]

It'll be interesting to see the subtext for the sequel and how it plays out. In the first it's very "choose life" but he's essentially in a cycle, so it's natural for us to get a sequel. In the trailer it's even meta for the state of cinema today. "Choose to let history repeat itself" I think the line was from the trailer... it's interesting no doubt to see if Boyle can repeat (thematically) what made Trainspotting good. It helps that everyone is back too (with the addition of Dod Mantle).

[@JordanPerrier]

excited for T2!!! the final scene in trainspotting is awesome! also the clockwork orange scene is extremely obvious even without knowing the same words are on the wall. I'm pretty sure the camera angle and pan are identical.

[@samcotten2416]

Making a sequel to Trainspotting seems like it has the potential to be the worst idea ever. There's no source material for anything beyond the events of the first one, so the writers will just have to pull it completely out of their asses, which almost never makes for a good movie. I hope I'm wrong, I sure love the first one, and I would certainly hate for it to be ruined.

[@CineFix]

Actually, there is a sequel to the book, called Porno. (Seriously.) So, the filmmakers do have actual source material for T2. We're cautiously optimistic!

[@michaelgill1529]

It's really not that difficult for you to find out that yes, there is source material for the sequel. That there is a second book, Porno, set 10 years after the events of Trainspotting and that it's a very good book. Although T2 is apparently only loosely based on Porno, I'm still very hopeful given that Ewan McGregor had said for a looooong time that he wouldn't do a sequel unless the screenplay was amazing, and with the same writers, director and cast on board, I'm very excited.

[@almahperditae]

The problem is not source material or not. the sequel as being taled about for years, and my opinion is still the same. They could make a great movie, they have all the ingredients to do that. But they can never match the original. The original had a time, and a impact so great, that trying to make it again is just impossible, unless they made the greatest movie of all time, and there's no question about it, there's no way the second ever lived to the expectacion.

[@DustinRodriguez1_0]

Plus the second one will probably be a PG-13 rated piece of worthless junk. If you're shooting for making a lot of money in 2016, you can't make a film that's anything like low budget 1990s releases.

[@DustinRodriguez1_0]

***** Yeah, they follow "trends" because executives who work at movie companies have to make a career for themselves somehow. Since there is actually no way to make a movie that has a better chance than any other to be successful (seriously, they've studied this extensively, for every big budget blockbuster full of stars there are big budget total flops full of stars, it all balances out and putting out a movie ends up being a total gamble no different from rolling dice) but the executives can only get ahead in the industry by "knowing what people want", when some random thing they try is successful once, they ride that train as far as it will go. There's a book called 'A Drunkard's Walk' that crunches all the numbers and shows how this happens and how even the most famous heads of movie companies who were seen as being brilliant had performance no better than perfectly random chance.

[@MarshChick]

Loved Trainspotting when it first came out. I saw it in a theatre in Newmarket with a gang of people in 1996. I was totally excited when I heard T2 was coming out & had high expectations for it. I had a bit of trouble to find it playing at a theatre near me, when it came out though. Found it in Richmond Hill, saw it & Loved It just as much!

Countless time I ask people to repeat themselves twice and then just pretend I understood until I realise I'm meant to answer a question. My pals are a wee bit rough and a few ex junkies in Edinburgh so it is surprisingly like Trainspotting. They are all from the right generation so they tell me they lost a shit load of pals to overdoses and AIDS when it swept through the addict community in Edinburgh. The film is true to life but actually not as harsh as it really was apparently. Wow my life story. You didn't ask for it but you got it.

[@clachanachoin3127]

Another wee bit for you, Irvine Welsh's flat was on Wellington Place in Leith and is right next door to the Leith Dockers Social Club, both of which were places in the book and film. In the film, the flat is probably the place where Rents barricades himself in, and later in the film, he shoots a skin head's dog (in the book is from his bedroom window, up on the 3rd floor overlooking the links, rather than being down on the links), that was most likely from the window of his own flat on Wellington Pl. Also, the name Trainspotting comes from a scene in the book where Rents and Begbie have a piss on the site of the old Leith Central Railway station and a homeless drunk asks them if they are "trainspotting" (a futile activity men do, where they video trains and note down train numbers in books). The vagrant is Begbie's dad and shows where he is likely to end up. The actual railway station is at the end of the street Welsh lived on and is now a Scotmid or a Tesco supermarket.

The Volcano was the last stop on conquering the Byres Rd pub crawl. Start in the Grovenor Hotel's public bar, now a gin bar, and finish in Patrick Tavern (Bag O' Nails) before heading to Volcano for the wee small hours.

But temptation is by new order.?

[@discountaphr0dite]

Or at least the version played in the film is

[@dknwx]

My thoughts exactly... On a second thought, it works brilliantly for Welsh/Boyle to put another song named Temptation just as the one from Heaven 17, just after the wall paintings A Clockwork Orange reference. In other words, it would have been too easy or redundant to put double reference to ACO on the same scene, but not with one of them being cloaked under another band making the link... That would be genius.

[@cheetarah9199]

you're totally right. Do you have a link to it though? Just curious?

[@dannyp4303]

During the bar scene it is in fact Heaven's 17

We got to watch T1 & T2 back to back at our local theatre. Addicts can’t understand the accents first watch through, but that means they get to watch something new the next time they watch it.

Language barrier???? It's English :/

[@johnnyfelcher8156]

Scottish is barely English.

[@dansolo9978]

Ya should hear em say Worcestershire sauce.! hahaha

There's something called "Scots" which is spoken in Scotland and is markedly different than Standard English (i.e. the variant of English that most English-speakers are used to hearing and that's considered "normal" or "proper"). Linguists still aren't sure if they categorize Scots as a dialect or as a language, but it is at the very least a LINGUISTIC barrier even if it may not be a real LANGUAGE barrier. (Also, in the book, it's worth noting that much of it is written in Scots but other parts are written in what is called "Scottish English" - which is a form of English spoken in Scotland that's connected to Scots.) When you read the book, the parts in Scots and Scottish English contrast SHARPLY with the parts written in Standard English and make it clearer that, even if what's spoken in Scotland isn't necessarily a different LANGUAGE, it's at the very least a differently-functioning form of English that has features that legitimately do constitute barriers for people who are only familiar with Standard English.

[@jim191185]

AHumanCalledSmithy It's a barrier based purely on a strong accent. I understand Scottish way more than Scouse myself. Also, most foreign people think all Brits sound either cockney or posh. If they took a 2 hour drive outside of London, they'd struggle to understand most folk.

I never thought I would see Cinefix do a special featuring newly built students flats in Partick, Glasgow.

[@jmatstjb]

i thought "the worst toilet in scotland" was a reference to a part in "gravity's rainbow" that took place in a jazz club bathroom, and had nothing to with "nightmare on elm st" other than a small visual similarity.

[@danxepha4535]

Thumbs up if you want them to do a "What's The Difference?" for Trainspotting.

he is playing a security guard not a police man

[@TheGoldenNeil]

zods muffin Well, the jobs can be seen as similar enough to be mistaken easily.

Probably one of my favorite movies of all time. I don't have a "top list" but I'm sure this one is right in my top 5. Not another superhero movie, the sequel is THE MOVIE I been waiting for, really excited.

[@guycollishaw1957]

Speak for your American self... Us English can understand the accent just fine.

[@guycollishaw1957]

And is Edinburgh really that hard to pronounce? Edinbro? wow haha

[@EctoTron1]

That's not as bad as the time I was on holiday to New York and some woman working at JFK airport pronounced it "Eedingburg".

[@mrmacken]

Recently watched T2 finally. It was a decent follow-up, if not on the same level as Trainspotting. I think the fact that they actually had a budget this time somewhat detracted from the experience, but I still love it.

[@Kylking86]

"A poop shoot if you will.. and I'M sure you will" literal laugh out loud HHHHaHa

[@loudrockacdc]

Absolutely adore this movie. Can't wait for the sequel!

[@filmfanaticx4212]

Two of my favorite movies of all time deal with heavy drug use. "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and this.

[@ShaunGibson]

Well that was 'Interesting'. I am from Edinburgh, 43 years old, when T1 came out, I was LIVING THE PARTS. Seriously, I was a low-life, so Trainspotting is like an OLD FRIEND to me, a source of comfort when LIFE hits you in the balls. You were pretty good talling the '7 Things you didn't know'...But you were off a wee bit too mate. But 10/10, it did make me want to reply, so well done mate! Really, I mean that. T2, was better than T1, but we now see them as 1 big movie. T1 makes us revisit our old youth. When T2 came out I was 21 years old, and I had 2 kids. Both are now AMAZING LADS, and I am a Grandfather age 43 (FANTASTIC IT IS). My Kids works and they COOSE LIFE! Good for them. I however continued to NOT CHOOSE LIFE, I CHOOSE SOMETHING ELSE, but it wasn't Heroin, it was however have the ability to ALWAYS LAUGH AT LIFE, whilst making sure the bank account was happy, we had a big fucking TV, and matching lugague etc. What passes as 'HAPPY'. T2, when Renton did his #ChooseLifePart2 MADE PEOPLE FROM EDINBURGH BOTH SMILE, AND CRY. But at the end he says "WELL IT AMUSED US AT THE TIME" and then he laughed, so did we!....LOL, IT DID AMUSE US AT THE TIME, WE LONGED FOR T2. It was a part of Edinburgh Culture. We knew where it was filmed, MANY of us knew the characters in the movie, I once knew Ewan McGregor and Robert Carlyle!! To sum up, Trainspotting is the WORST parts of Edinburgh, but it is NOT Edinburgh! It NEVER WAS, well certainly not the Edinburgh I live in today, I told you! I choose something else. I have nice neighbours, never in trouble as a 43 year old! Yes I learnt how to 'HOLD MY SHIT TOGETHER'. What I mean is, I learnt to smile at hate, and take no shit from people. But to take no shit from people, Lesson 1 is 'DON'T HAVE SHIT PEOPLE AROUND YOU, EVER!'...IT IS THAT EASY, when you Choose Life... .lol Really enjoyed this 8 min experience so I did... Alba Gu Brath!

The station in trainspotting is the most remote in the UK and is not on the road network. It's called Corrour station and it's nearest town is Roy Bridge. It's also the highest mainline station in the country.
