If you think Trainspotting glamourises Herion then you’ve definitely never properly seen the film

[@AlbertoBolzan]

I absolutely agree.

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

fucks sake man. i was scared of heroin before seeing Trainspotting. Having seen it, and i kann truly say I'm so terrified of it that I'd..kannae rightly say it.. i'd rather have daily a cuppa horsepiss tea and dog shite on toast for breakfast, with Donald Trump, razor blade sandwich for lunch, and cat piss and pig shite for a bath than to EVER go anywheres near the stuff.

[@CentlonCOD]

same goes for breaking bad as well. I hate it when any government uses such pieces of art as a narrative to say 'drugs are cool'

[@benbelzer8303]

Yeah, it actually makes it look horrifying, that poor baby dying from parental neglect. His friend dying, and that cat. I came across thinking it was a film about one man's self-centered nature.

[@michaelbannerman-roberts1518]

This was one of the most potent anti-drug films ever made.

[@lostboys_uk]

You can tell from the way the trio handles the topic and subject matter, the respect they show to the drug and it's users, and their deep understanding of the complex philosophy surrounding drug use and it's culture that this was a truly timeless classic of cinema

[@edcampion3998]

trainspotting does not glamourise drug taking the complete opposite in my opinion.Love this movie.

[@edcampion3998]

TriGGletyplay slipping into the red carpet was what the feeling that renton felt like.Anyone watching the movie in my opinion would stay way clear of drugs after watching it and for that its a must see.

[@scruffyp9480]

I agree to an extent because I've heard from a lot of people who love smack and trainspotting is their bible. I'm sure a lot of peoples curiosity was sparked by scenes of blissful euphoria.

[@mattemery4081]

@TriGGletyplay um. Yeah the scene with the dead baby is 100% glamorized. As is the scene where a grown man sticks his hands into a toilet to get more drugs.

[@yidguy11]

They like the laughs and seeing someone do heroin. But they are clearly getting lost in the point of showing all that.

[@daveyboyblack]

I appreciate that interviewers have to ask objective questions, but then they should also be able to understand & accept objectivity from a life they haven't lived. Otherwise, they just try to debate/ argue and can never appreciate 'the other side'. These guys created one of the most emotive and visceral films I've ever watched... guess its down to open minds.

[@millijames]

How does Trainspotting glamourise heroin or make you want to do it? It's harrowing. Sick Boy's baby dies while he's off his head........

[@germaredipprnaar6264]

Tommy's downfall was the most tragic in opinion

[@haiderjasim5093]

Man its a Hangout film, you just hang out with the characters and feel what they’re feeling

[@adamturner1563]

american hosts that interupt are worse than heroin..

[@danielvarghese1477]

Which is interesting because Charlie Rose is usually a really good interviewer, he sounds almost rude in this....surprising typically I'd like him

[@Leprutz]

@@danielvarghese1477 This comes from the subconcious. He is against the film itself. So he kinda shows it unconciously not giving the team the right to express themselves. Maybe....

[@sbc1t]

He is a pain in the arse , Every time Danny talks about something he buts in.

[@wardrutherford5669]

@@danielvarghese1477 he hadn’t seen the film and is busking embarrassingly

[@theklaus7436]

Annoying to be honest. He seems to think he needs to find something to hang his prejudiced right wing Christian views on

[@brightoneasterling9304]

danny boyle answers questions so concisely

[@anguswalsh2387]

It glorifies film, not drugs. Its a hugely addicted film.

[@davidoption8]

'Addictive' I think u meant.

[@Jesus420.69]

I think I recall IW saying “anybody who thinks trainspotting glorifies drug use wasn’t paying attention” or something along those lines.

[@MrTheedarkhorse]

Host came across as passive aggressive. Yes the film sensationalises drug use but focuses just as much on the negatives. Did the host know someone close to him that was on drugs? 17:08 The screenwriter jokes "we're in danger of glamourising romance" The host completely ignores it.

[@GrumpyOldGambler]

this interview is great . i first watched trainspotting at the age of twelve . it did not make me want to try heroin . it educated me if anything

[@Williammcminn77]

I respect every one of them for standing up for there movie 🎥! And staying true to real life of it all

[@nicolasjan1584]

The true value of this story is brought (mention) here . Thanks to this interview because its complexe and its also about the historical context and the book.

[@iant88888888]

Excellent interview. Those darned americans that needed subtitles to understand this movie! Where as all us english needed was several series of Rab C Nesbit ;-)

[@karinvr9382]

What a wonderful indebted interview, about one of the best movies ever made. A deep analysis about the movie's difficult subject without looking to sensationaliz anybody or anything and appeal to a certain public or chock an other. Just an good conversation between adults. Dammit, I almost forgot there used to be a time when even in the US, people were able to respect each other enough to exchange thoughts & opinions, share & discuss them and leave it at that. And I think Trainspotting should be on any 'high school' curriculum. Every kid around 15y should have to watch the first one in the beginning of the school year and 6 months later the second one. At that age when we all feel invisible but indestructible and we start to experiment. It would have more impact on young impressionable minds than any government campaign against drugs ever would, will and has had in any country. CHOOSE LIFE •••

[@bobmason83]

absolute cult classic brilliant British film loved it then love it now and was pleasantly pleased after seeing t2 . yeeeeeeees !!! choose life

[@readerofmanga]

Trainspotting (1996) is kind of the only British film that has a different sensibility of language and violence that other films kind of use such as Pulp Fiction (1994) and True Romance (1993) but this is actually the one and suits well for Miramax Films in America.

[@ryanwalker6701]

One of my favorite movies! It is also the soul reason why I never did heroin.

[@BIG_MUNKY]

04:31 fucking legend

[@rippedtorn2310]

Its openly Scots too... great adaption by an English director .

[@BIG_MUNKY]

Thanks for the upload mate

[@michaelfaulkner3119]

Best film ever in my book

[@thomasbonner8464]

In my top 3 ever. It’s a cultural phenomenon.

[@deckofcards87]

The whole perception that Trainspotting glamorizes junkies, let alone anything, is ridiculous lol. The characters are either complete low lives or criminals, who are miserable and use drugs and use each other. Also a dead baby might be your best indicator. It's definitely a sickly funny movie sometimes but it's mostly harrowing.

[@TimCrocker94]

Charlie was kinda grilling them in this

[@lostboys_uk]

Anyone who thinks this film glamorises the use of heroin is either out of their damn mind or they didn't actually see the movie

[@liamsss]

its a shame that charlie rose didn't get a chance to watch the film before this interview and just instead read headlines by people who also didn't watch the film!

[@thomasbonner8464]

Heroin was rife in Glasgow because of Thatcherism.

[@vincentmcnabb939]

Getting off yer head has always been rife in Glasgow, surely.

[@hopefullypg3431]

The film, at least to me, is more about the influence of friends and the negativity of being stuck in a terrible relationship with an awful person like Begbie

[@jamesaaron7211]

I have like a lot of his interviews, but Rose was sleep walking through this one. The guests were imo understandably irritated.

[@benbelzer8303]

Charlie, stop interrupting!!! 🛑 He interrupted within the first ten seconds of anyone speaking! Good grief. 🥴 How did someone so impulsive ever get this gig?

[@dude9038]

Nepotism

[@eckoalbino1623]

You can truly tell how aggravated Danny and co are with him and uncomfortable. I'm surprised Charlie Rose wanted to go through this interview with them knowing that he knew little about it and just focused on the heroin

[@rexcarrulers6504]

I really hope he never attempts to create a documentary about Punk.

[@theklaus7436]

Why : because it is honest. I have seen both movies several times- and it shows a side that is honest- death, drugs, negligence and corruption and cruelty. You can’t show the hell these people goes through. But I think it paints a better picture of the people who lives in addiction from a very dangerous drug. I think full Monty, the commitments and trainspotting seem to follow a similar pattern

[@1ranjeeves21]

Let them fucking talk....

[@YouTubeSupportTeams]

How could the grim life existence of a junkie ever be conceived as "glamorous"? dafuq. Doesn't the film accurately depict why it would be a bright idea NOT to get involved in heroin? The curiosity didn't end well for Tommy.

[@davidbolger2000AD]

Actually looking forward to that Sex Pistols Biopic Danny's doing even though it's on Disney and Johnny Rottens seemingly disowned it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just wish somebody would faithfully adapt Anger Is An Energy to Film or TV Screen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SDCGI]

does charlie rose make anyone else cringe?

[@David-vg8lx]

Might as well of named it spaintrotting

[@dmoney2691]

This interviewer is awful.

[@dylanthrillmour866]

Mighty Maus no he's not

[@user-yk1cw8im4h]

Mighty Maus I really like the quick pace of his interviews, no bullshit questions or fluffy chat

[@EthanJohn1986]

Charlie Rose is ALWAYS fucking CUTTING OFF his guests mid sentence after he asks them a question WHY??? becuz he is a HACK interviewer.

[@user-yk1cw8im4h]

Ethan John Don't see anything wrong with that, stop being so shallow with the definition of a good interviewer. His enthusiasm is unmatched, which leads to the quick paced interviews, and the breadth of interviews that he has done reflected it. Frankly, that's the dynamic that many of us like, otherwise it will be yet another dull conversation that we see so often nowadays. He got the guts to challenge them. If you don't agree with me, just try and name one interviewer who has made a bigger impact than Charlie did. I bet you can't.

[@mbonar2694]

Don't be a dumbass who leaves an insult without providing some explanation as to your conclusion. You're opinion is of course valid, but your hatred and arrogance is transparent, and I can see a fool.

[@lionhartd138]

it made ME want to try heroin. But then again so did Keith Richards and Brian Jones long before these guys were born.

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

[@dude9038]

The critics and naysayers lacked the imagination to see that Renton was swimming around in a bowl of sh _'/

[@antimatta8714]

"Its almost written from the perspective of the heroin itself " WTF???.........................I wouldn't expect that Charlie rose or most Americans to understand Trainspotting anyway. Lol

[@erghface7697]

Charlie Rose is insufferable

[@soapysoappla942]

gurnin Boyle. articulate tho. great

[@alisonjg1]

Charlie Rose is so annoying! Stop interrupting the people you are interviewing

[@FLYINGFOXMAN92]

Typical Danny never acknowledged Irvine when mentioned and when asked about taking heroine they said they had ex addicts in to help tell them... EHHH IRVINE THE AUTHOR WHO WROTE IT WAS EX HERION ADDICT.

[@stevo67-uu9rc]

Not enough respect for Irvine in this interview. I would suspect that 90% of people who've watched the film have not read the book. Try actually reading Trainspotting!
