Today introduces a classic old film "Guess the Train" 1+2.
Titletrainspotting (1996) – (2017).
The film is a distinctly British film based on Owen Wales' novel of the same name, which presents a decadent and psychedelic and diverse world, telling the life of young People in England in a British way in a british way.
The film occupies an important place in film history, winning the Best Adapted Screenplay at the 49th British Academy Film Awards.
The film has been precipitated from a simple film to a symbol of the youth memory of a generation, decadent, confused, indulgent, depraved, deviant, self-knowledge, and self-finding.
Guess the train poster
"Guessing the train" is, under the understanding of the self: watching a train pass by, guessing the destination or carriage of the train passing by on the platform. Life is like a train track, facing choices again and again. Choose a different track, choose a different life.
"Guess the Train"
The protagonists of the story are four addicts, Mark Reton, Sick Boy, Spud and Francis Begbie, who live in the lower society of Edinburgh, England, eating and waiting for death every day, relying on sex and drugs to paralyze themselves, keen on violence, having no life skills, and socially unemployed homeless people idle people. Live like garbage, but enjoy the fall.
The film begins with a wild run on the road after the theft, wantonly exerting youth, deviant, and using his own practical actions to show that he will never "collude" with the mainstream society, he wants to commit crimes and degenerate, and he wants to issue his own ridicule to the society.
From the initial paralysis of escaping from reality through drugs, mark has repeatedly shouted to quit drugs in the process, and has also participated in many detoxification courses, but every time he wants to take the last sip, when he does not really want to quit drugs, the last bite never becomes the last sip. Later, he almost died of drug injection, until he finally succeeded in getting rid of drugs and regaining his life.
After the beatings of life, we will find that in fact, the lives of ordinary people are much more difficult than the self-willing degeneration of the masses to take drugs and pick quarrels and provoke troubles.
At the end of the first film, Mark decided to make a positive and healthy choice while he could still make a choice. After Mark caught an opportunity, he used the "betrayal" method to "betray" the former fox friends, with the first pot of gold in his life, back to society, start over, and completely embrace the society that was originally abandoned. Mark is like the driver of a train, choosing his own track, choosing his own life.
Why did I do that? There are a million answers but all wrong the reason is that I am simply a bad embryo, but that will change me to change, this is the last bad thing I want to change my heart, go forward to choose life, I have been expecting that I will be like you, work, family big TV, washing machine, car player, electric can opener, healthy low cholesterol, dentist insurance, loans, house buying casual clothes, suitcases, three-piece suits, diy guess shows, junk food, kids, park walks, nine to five golf, car washes, Sweatshirt family christmas, pension, tax exemption, clear gutter only look forward, until the day you die.

From the spacecapsules clip
Fast forward 20 years
Leaving the "fox friend", Mark lives a normal life, has a job as an accountant, and is married. After 20 years, mark people reached middle age, full of folds, divorced, childless under the knees, and suffered from heart disease. He tried to live a normal life, but in the end he had no home, and when he was eroded by loneliness, he suddenly returned to his hometown to find his friends who had been betrayed by him.
Three friends are also middle-aged, life is also a mess "potato" addicted to drugs, wife and children are separated, life is hopeless, he wants to end his life. Simon spends his days in a small bar, using his girlfriend's body to do some blackmail of rich people, and begbie is still serving a prison sentence at an old age, and the commutation of the sentence is far away. This group of old lepers is still different after all, and the four people facing the mid-life crisis are still dreaming of youth, and they have not become vulgar middle-aged people. No matter how old they are, no matter how decadent they are, they are still dry.
As soon as the three men saw Mark, who had betrayed them 20 years ago, they went up and beat them up.
Potato scolded him for ruining his life
Simon swung his club and beat him hard
Begbie carried the knife directly, carrying a double-barreled shotgun, and frantically pursued Renton.
However, if you are not happy, you can play, then you can talk about football, then you will do bad things, and then you will have sex.
They will always live in crazy youth, reluctant to come out, unable to come out.
Begbie said emotionally – we haven't changed, but the world has changed.
They are still the drugged scoundrels, but the train of that year has already roared past, and will not return to this youthful platform.
Potato walked down the empty street, watching his 20-year-old self hurry past.
Mark was knocked over by the car, still like his young self, laughing wildly at the driver
20 years ago we wanted to: choose life, choose a job, choose a career, choose a family, choose a fucking big TV, choose a washing machine, a car, cd, electric can opener, choose health, low cholesterol and dentist insurance, fixed-interest low-rate loans, choose a house, choose a friend, choose a suitcase with casual clothes and matching, choose a suit with a variety of fabrics, choose diy, guess the puzzle program, junk food, kids, a walk in the park, nine to five, golf, car wash, sweatshirt, family Christmas, pension, tax exemption, clear water ditch. Now 20 years later, choose to be disappointed, choose to lose what you love, let the people you like, your beloved friends drift away, and a part of you will pass away with them. Until one day, you find that youth has died in the past.
We are all blaming the world for its impermanence, but we are all changing
Didn't get better? Didn't get worse? It's just getting closer and closer to the original self
