Trainspotting 2 final scene

[@Chupanibre]

For me Renton dancing at the end instead of falling to the floor is a symbol of how he finally makes peace with his life, just as it is, instead of always wondering if there is something better or more intense elsewhere... that is what real freedom is about and to me, that's why the room ends up expanding forever... such a poetic ending.

[@EminAnimE1]

Yeah, and the song. The first time he hears the song in this movie he stops it right there. But now, he dances to it. The song is called lust for life, makes all the sense in the world. Amazing ending to an amazing sequel.

[@chestyp0311]

Karen You are a great optimist, I was pessimistic about this ending as him Mercer changing but now I think he does in just the way you stated👍

[@mattstone5475]

The room is like a train tunnel which I found fitting

[@Aman1012]

Thank you for that insight. Why does Sick boy look so glum?

[@xfilesfoxisdead7979]

Yeah hes dancing...but he returned to his room, now mature...but with no life ...its not optimistic

Danny Boyle and his crew have a genuine gift for music choices. Every film the soundtrack is absolutely spellbinding.

[@Danny-ww3up]

Agreed with that. Even his luke warm films like "The Beach" and "Trance" have had fantastic scores.

I love how spud slowly becomes the main protagonist.

[@Stephanlabize]

Thats because hes pretty much Welsh's avatar

[@mkn.567]

@@Stephanlabize makes sense. never read the books, just seen the movie. I suppose I always assumed that renton was the main character and as so was welsh's avatar. Looking back now i definitely see welsh as a spud. lol

[@Vincentzw]

@@mkn.567 the book was still narrated by Renton, but in the stage theater version of trainspotting spud's actor played Rents. So it's possible having Spud seemingly become the narrator was a nod to that.

[@neplusultra4196]

I find that to be kinda true for the Porno book as well.

[@jasonlewis3742]

​@@VincentzwHuh? The book is narrated by all the main characters at points. Same with Porno. Sick Boy is the first guy to narrate Porno. He starts off narrating in the Queen's English as he's living in London. Then when he moves back to Leith he slowly starts to narrate in Scottish again

[@TooBigBirdy]

The most brilliant sequel I've ever seen in my life. THANK YOU Danny Boyle and all the original cast and crew who worked on this movie. I wish more creative people in the industry will learn from this example how to approach sequels for classics. Cried in the theater during the ending and not ashamed of it. Great movie!

[@Steerpike07]

Watched T2 twice at cinema but didn't cry. Then it slowly dawned on me (I'm a bit slow like that!). Then I realised & now I well-up every time I watch Gail's reaction to Spud's book.

[@Amit_0304]

It should have been more appreciated...one of the legit sequel with content instead of just money grabbing scheme

Joseph I think the message is happiness it's not like they told us. Maybe you could be happy in your own way, even if you don't reach the standards of the society at a certain age, you could be free and happy, because what's happiness? do you really need all that stuff? I don't think so.

There is a third Novel besides Skackboys called "The Blade Artist". Came out last year and is mainly about Begbie after the events of Trainspotting 2 (Porno). But nonetheless you shold absolutuly read Skagboys, it`s genius even as a Prequel.

100pc agreed

[@leolicursi3536]

Crap.. Reality would be spud dead

[@isnowyazn]

@@leolicursi3536 I'm still confused at the scene where Mark and Sickboy relapse on heroin, because some people say it was just in the boys' imaginations. Although, I did find it real to me because of how Spud was outside, trying not to watch Mark and Sickboy do heroin. And that's not even the important part, because what bothers me is that after 20+ years, Mark should've technically OD'd from doing heroin, since he seems to have stayed clean forever until then.

[@Steerpike07]

"I've thought of a title".....BEST LINE IN THE WHOLE FILM! Which is why they didn't bother coming up with a better title than 'T2 Trainspotting'. The look on Murphy's face when he realises! Awesome.

[@brianwinters9995]

When Gayle says, "I've thought of a title." Holy crap, what a way to bring it all full circle.

[@sophiam878]

Honestly the best ending to a film I've ever seen. Ewan dancing in the room was brilliant, didn't want to leave the cinema.

[@idawg7332]

This is possibly the first attempt I've seen at revisiting a classic whether through sequel/reboot/remake/prequel that is actually about nostalgia. The movie doesn't just make lame attempts at fan service like in other recent movies from classic series (rogue one, jurassic world, terminator genisys). It actually has a point to make about nostalgia. Its about learning from the past while simultaneously embracing and letting go of it. Renton, sick boy, and spud are all able to do this which is why their lives improve on some level by the end of the movie while Begbie isn't resulting in him going back to jail. Best movie I've seen this year. Also my only 10/10 for the year

[@chestyp0311]

Ian Levinson Begbie does go to jail but he does redeem himself in a major way, he redeems himself in the eyes of the only person who matters, his son and tells him he will be a good man regardless of his roots. Deepest scene of this film

These characters were all always so special to me I was a bit nervous about T2 but Danny Boyle is a genius and he didn't let down at all. I cried like an asshole in the theatre

[@Omegian14]

I feel one of the underappreciated bits of symbolism is the dance at the end. Renton is back where he started physically, yes. He imitates the pose from Trainspotting with the long pull back. But with one major difference. In the past he fell to his knees. Now he picks back of and dances. He can experience these memories without being dragged down. Pretty decent (anti)hero's journey!

[@themrmarkprior]

To me this is the best song choice for a scene Ever. Brings me to tears everytime.

[@privateinformation9384]

Putting up the wallpaper in Rentons room was such a surreal trip for me. From watching the original 20 years earlier to physically standing in “Rentons room” blew my mind. I kept some of the extra rolls as a “parting gift”. I used it to wallpaper the inside wall of my home office that has the doorway. It looks shot for shot just like Rentons :).

Find myself watching this every night before bed.

[@Fugax_8]

This ending is perfect. Simon is completely broken and is sad at where he is. There seems to be some hope for Spud as Gail is actually talking to him and letting him see his son. Renton went back to his father and to me seems to have chosen Life. The music by Wolfalice seems like it was custom made for this. Just amazing.

[@Samuel_J_Russell]

Jesus fucking christ this film is right up there with the best sequels ever made in my opinion. I must admit I was apprehensive about the way it would be handled after so long since the original Trainspotting movie, and I was disappointed when I heard that it wasn't going to mirror the plot of Porno exactly because I'm a huge fan of Welsh's literary genius...... but....... after watching it I admit that it would never have worked had they have followed the plot of Porno exactly because the time difference between the books and the movies is too big and a recreation of the plot of Porno wouldn't accommodate that effectively. This was a script and movie of brilliance that I think people will appreciate more as the years go by. Just like the first one, the soundtrack is perfectly selected, I'd never heard of Wolf Alice before but this is the best tune of the entire movie in my opinion and compliments the emotion of that last scene perfectly. What direction now? I'd hate to see Welsh sell out and make movies just for the sake of making money but I'd love to see a third film that explores the complexity of these amazing characters further.

[@jimwoodlock1145]

Not even joking, I've seen it over 10 times now. Just perfect

[@davidemelia6296]

And they couldn't have done Porno without doing Glue first ... which was a massive book. People would have been thinking, who the fuck's this Juice Terry character?

[@Samuel_J_Russell]

@@davidemelia6296 Glue has nothing to do with the two Trainspotting films, except for the main characters featuring in it briefly? If they made Glue into a film it would always be a separate project. If they make another of Welsh's novels into a film it should definitely be Glue because this is one of his best novels and would make a great film in my opinion. Glue could be made into a film without having Renton, Begbie and Sick Boy in it because they only appear in the novel very briefly a few times, but there is a very funny chapter which involves Spud and should definitely be included if they ever make it into a film.
