- Trainspotting 1996 - Choose Life - Opening scene - WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES
Ewan McGregor som Mark "Rent Boy" Renton
Ewen Bremner som Daniel "Spud" Murphy
Jonny Lee Miller som Simon "Sick Boy" Williamson
Robert Carlyle som Francis "Franco" Begbie
Kevin McKidd som Tommy MacKenzie
This is one of the great opening scenes in cinema history. As soon as the drums start up and Renton's feet hit the pavement I'm right back into this film.
Iggy Pop "Lust For Life".
If you listen closely, you can hear the little scratches of vinyl playing. I think that little subconscious anticipation does so much to make that drum really kick in
Spot on
Agreed
I would argue...THE best!
Trainspotting had not only one of the best opening scenes of all time, but also one the best ending scenes
Let's face it,, it's gotta be one of the best movies ever.. Way ahead of its time
@michellefletcher8891 I remember when it came out loads of "people" and tory mps came out in objection to the film saying it glamourised heroin use! This film is full of people's trauma due to heroin use,how the feck is,dead babys, and all of thw horrific stuff that happens glamorising it? If anything it would be a huge turn off.
It is, the 'Scotland is shite' is also a great scene.
"Choose a starter home". Back then it *was* a choice. Now it's fucking impossible.
How true....
How true....
Trainspotting, Pulp Fiction and The Matrix: the most iconic movies of the 90s, hands down.
Goodfellas.
@@michaelhoward1797 awesome movie, bot doesn't catch the 90's vibe
I was going to saw goodfellas but saw someone else already said that.
@@andrean_7725 well if you want to catch 90s vibes than maybe Hackers is the most 90s of all 90s movies to 90s. It’s not a good movie though. If you want a good movie that encapsulates the 90s ethos; at least 90s Austin, TX than I would for sure recommend Richard Linclatters film “Slacker”.
Well, there's Fight Club
I decided to watch this part for a friend of mine that passed away last week. Me and him were big fans of this movie. We would talk about it often. I miss him and I just felt like watching this for him. I miss my friend Marcus.
Terrific adapted screenplay, a blistering set of young actors and a wonderful, visionary director. Lightning in a bottle stuff.
What's not to love?
You’re completely right lad
well put
I can’t help but think that all these films that made heroin out to be “the best fu-cking thing ever” is one of the contributing factors to the Opioid crisis that has gripped several countries on the planet.
@@jeffw8218 Not sure I agree with you there Jeff. So far as the opioid crisis was concerned, it was more a case of people trusting their doctors and not knowing what it was until it was far too late. Try reading 'Empire of Pain' by Patrick Radden Keefe if you're a reader...
@@jeffw8218 bro he sticks his head into a shit filled toilet, lets a baby starve to death and rot, and has sex with an underaged girl because of heroin
And the reasons, there are no reasons...
Who needs reasons when you've got Herion!!
Amazing writing right here!!
It's true, too. I'm a recovering Heroin addict (3 years sober). I think Requiem For A Dream is the best film that accurately depicts Heroin addiction, but this opening scene is the best EXPLANATION of Heroin addiction I've seen in a film.
A friend of mine chose that heroin shit. Jumped from top floor.
Life, job, career and family are the hardest things to get, heroin Is easier
@@fabianfabinski2944 im with ya friend. Cheers to those braver than us. The social rejects who find substance in substance.
Saw this movie before becoming an addict, respected it even tho it was an unknown.
After become an addict, that line made more sense than I ever wanted it to make!
Almost 10 years off that junk now! Yay! 🎉
This opening scene is really something artistic as dark as it is. Wtf, the soccer ball to the head nails the idea
I love how Spud's wearing a Superman tee, when his actor would later star in Wonder Woman.
It's not an f***ing soccer ball lol.
Sorry Sherman it had to be sead.

I’m going to use this as a best mans speech.
Maybe cut out the last two lines 😂😂
@@iliasross5255 good suggestion
Same only without the last two lines
"choose using this as a best mans speech"
Choose wife
This scene hits way more different when you're halfway into the movie and you realize that chronologically it takes place after the baby's death.
Anddd you spoiled it
@@vranime3772 Bruh if ur watching a clip of a movie (without finishing it first) that released 28 years ago and you get spoiled. At that point it's just natural selection.
@@vranime3772If you watch clips or read reviews of movies you’ve never seen, you’re a moron.
You spoiled it for yourself because you consume film like a little mouse taking tiny nibbles and bits. Get the whole experience like a human being. As you were, river goblin.
@@vranime3772 your fault for not having seen a 30 year old movie lol
who’s the baby in this scene then and why is lizzie watching tommy (unless you’re talking about the part where renton and spud are running)
The opening and soccer game is such good efficient characterization, showing how sick boy is willing to trip people for his gain, spud is kind of a fumbling doofus, etc. And it's so stylish and iconic.
It also shows how chaotic Begbie is, and how Tommy gets cornered and doesn't get any help.
it shows begbie tackling a guy snd then laughing it at which shows he enjoys hurting people
Begbie with the studs up slide tackle, not even aiming for the ball at all omg
i just read the book, and begbie and spud look exactly like i imagined them
@Murphy Kilpatrick yes i read porno and thought about reading the skagboys. is it worth it? and yeah irvine welsh is a dream, least predictable storylines ever
@Murphy Kilpatrick We need a a Skagboys movie
@@runningforver5958
All his books are worth a read
@@runningforver5958 I thought skagboys was brilliant. Maybe enjoyed it more than trainspotting, probably cause I was familiar with the characters and it was great (if a bit depressing) to see how they all got to the state we meet them in
@@markbleach5031 If you can understand them. It's one thing hearing and listening to Scottish slang in a film like this and another thing entirely reading it. Really wanted to like the Trainspotting book but Irvine Walsh's writing style is extremely off-putting
Best film of all time. Period.
One of the greatest intros in the history of UK 🇬🇧 cinema.
Cinema period
Battle royale, reservoir dogs, takashi miike's dead or alive , clockwork orange all better imo. But this is iconic.
One of the best openings I’ve ever seen
In those times I’ll say the best. Which one of the best in your mind? I’ll glad to know tbh
@@Vimyro lock stock easily
@@lamontviolante oh yeah movie openings in Guy Ritchie's movies is pretty cool
Best ever start to a film!
what about that clint eastwood movie with the squeeky sign ?
Clockwork orange
takashi miike's miike's dead or alive
Reservoir dogs
All better imo. But this is defo top 5.
“Choose a life, choose a job, choose a career” well, Obi-Wan did 😂 The guy once was a respected Jedi.
He's a good lad in the meat processing industry now.
"Who needs reasons when you've got Midichlorians?"
When he neglects going straight and choosing life in the beginning, we see a bunch of chaos on-screen but when he chooses life and goes straight at the end, it’s calm and optimistic.
Choose the F*cking high Ground, Choose to see a need fill a need
Choose the chosen one, you were my brother Anakin, I loved you!
Omg lmao not the Robots quote 🤣
"With English Subtitles"...! HA! Good one.
Hello NerfedNuke. Thanks for commenting. I have added subtitles for several reasons. 1. For the hearing impaired. 2. For all those who don’t have English as their first language and might find it helpful with subtitles. 3 For those who might find it difficult to understand Ewan McGregor's Scottish accent. But of course, many people don’t need them, and some might even find them annoying. :-)
Choose life
@@AsleKnudsen Well done. Thank you.
I'm German and not a native speaker nor, have I ever been to an English speaking country. So I always put in the subtitles, when I'm watching _"Trainspotting"._
Ewan McGregor is much easier to understand than the rest.
But it makes sense to me, that the leading actor is a little easier to understand, for the international audience.
@@AsleKnudsen Not annoying to me. I'm from Australia. Most of my friends and family need the subtitles..!
Makes you feel good to be Scottish! Best movie ever!
"Its shite being scottish"
all the books are about how shite it was being scottish in the 80ies and 90ies.
scottish has the best accent in english language, i love it
@@motorlife7037 say that again really slowly.
@@mrminkman952hahhahaha
I can't walk down Princes Street in Edinburgh without thinking "this is where Ewan McGregor was running from the police" 😄
I remember seeing this at the theater, I didn't really know what the hell these amazing characters were saying, but I knew I was witnessing one of the greatest films of all time.
Love the intro. Gritty realism is always good if it done with thought provoking way.
Such a relevant film to those who have addcition
@Johnny Depp is this the real Johnny?
@@daffy_schmuck5828 I highly doubt that, I'm glad he won the case though.
And also for those who dont, like me. Tough I dabbled in this or that, I never had a real addiction. But this stark view of life, of modern goals speaks to me very strongly
@@firestarter000001 he tells you what the CORRECT CHOICE IS in the very first 2 words.
Choose Life. Anything that follows that is empty, hollow and leads to death. Heroin too.
"I am the Way , the Truth and the Life" look up who said that. And choose Life.
Best intro ever made.
Battle royale
Clockwork orange
Reservoir dogs
Takashi miike's dead or alive
Are all better imo but this is top 10
This movie and Goodfellas are among the top tier movies of all time.
Yeah...best opening scenes ever
Godfellas was boring
@@mirceadacialorantbrescia4340 lol ok. I guess Paul Blart Mall Cop is more your speed.
@@mirceadacialorantbrescia4340
Get a education how the hell do you figure that out.
You should get out from the space between your own eardrums sometime.
@@TheHolyMongolEmpire
Naw more like Dora The Explorer is his Cup of tea.
I remember i was 21 wheni first saw this film
Absolutely brilliant and the music as well. 👍🏻
I like the way he says choose this choose that like if it don't matter, like saying, "tomorrow we won't be here, so who cares".
i love this movie with all my heart.
Rare footage of Obi-Wan's life before Qui-Gon found him(Circa 41 BBY).
And even if you are not hooked on H, this is just as relevant.
This is still relevant now.
Always will be
the definition of living fast life what an iconic cinema moment
Just seen the film in the cinema utterly excellent 👌👌👌👌
Made a few GIFS from Trainspotting today, mainly Spud. Made a couple from this video too
I always found Spud to be the most interesting charecter
Best possible choice of music.
after almost 30th years this movie is still a masterpiece
There is a bar in Edinburgh called the Black Bull right on the second landing of those stairs Renton and Spud are running down (0:12) to escape the cops. It's pretty decent, you should give it a try after running down Princess Street. Watch out for traffic.
Yeah you are right. I reckonize it now and the area around Princess Street when last visiting Edinburgh, without trying to find it or even knowing how I ended up there.
Think I’ll pass
Great scene, inspiring message.
My type of movie ❤️
This film has never received the acclaim it truly deserves!
One of the best intros ever, what an awesome film, one of my favourite films
I want this whole monologue tattooed on my back so fucking bad, but I'm smarter than that, thank God.
Choose life
Choose Life...Very Carefully Just do your best
the british sky comedy show Brassic absolutely ripped this off so had to come back to see the original :)
Legendary.

I'm italian so when i've watched for the first time in original language (scottish😁) it was hard trying to understand what they was saying without following the subtitles (ok it was almost impossible😁).
And now i get the meaning of the title of this video! If you're not a Scot beware!😂
Trainspotting and Fight club have the same vibe of what's the fucking point of everything this is a masterful intro and dialogue. Its the Tyler Durden philosophy of not giving a shit about materialism and caring what other people think aka the complete opposite of the vanity-driven famous celebrity lifestyle. Obviously, this was before Fight Club but they basically deliver the same core themes. If this dialogue was narrated by Brad Pitt in Fight Club alot of Americans would be "This is fucking amazing". Even the choose life speech from both T1 and T2 could easily fit as dialogue in Fight Club. FUN FACT There is a copy of Trainspotting in the video shop scene in Fight Club as a reference to trainspotting, its really hard to miss though, u need to actually freeze frame the film as they didnt want an Ohh why is a copy of this film in Fight club? To me, even though a lot is different between the two films, the main subjects of both are questioning the values of society and status.
There is one major difference. In Trainspotting the solution is found in heroin but in Fight Club its found in violence politically motivated. In Trainspotting the characters only commit petty crimes but don't become full blown terrorists. Their rebellion is mostly nonviolent.
Neither Tyler Durden and The nameless protagonist nor Renton and his friends are doing well or even okay. You are right in that both movies comment on society, but just as much probably more so they criticise the respective "solutions" their protagonists choose. Neither random acts of terrorism against citizens nor drug abuse fixed any of these people's lives, lead to any good outcome or improved society at all. Also banks aren't "closed" at night the buildings they blew up in the final scene were full with innocent people who got murdered for the crime of going to work that evening.
Fitter. Happier. More productive...
Run Obi-Wan run
What a great intro to a iconoclastic movie!

Love this movie, studied it in college for Film Studies back in 2008
this is what most uk adverts sound like
As someone who used to do a not insignificant amount of heroin, I'll tell you that I concur.
nobody fucks with this film like i do
Iconic scene
Anybody else come to remind themselves of this speech after the ending of “Star Wars: Obi-Wan” on Xbox has the Ewan Macgregor impersonator doing a parody of this speech about the Star Wars universe? “Choose the Force. Choose the Dark Side. Choose a protocol droid……”
I hadn't realized this:
Just as The Velvet Underground was the dark counterpoint to the counterculture of the 60s in the United States, Trainspotting does the same but with the Cool Britannia era of the 90s
But why would I want to do a thing like that?
I chose not to choose life, I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons...who needs reasons when you've got death sticks?
Remember the dude finishing his glass of beer then just throwing the glass over his head??

thanks for uploading this 👍🎬
Arcydzieło ❤
best movie ever made
Yes needed it now ty
I like the way even at the start of the movie Mark actually wants to kick heroin
30 years ago today!
one of the best movies ever made 👌👌 true classic
Gotta love his jacket swishing all around while he's sprinting...like madness.
I love transporting best film ever
I love how the football scene, you can tell each ones personality instantly by the way they act on the field and how it sorta correlation what will happen to them at the end.
Bellissimo!!!
Esta es la mejor escena del cine
imagine 11 years of that. There, but for the grace of God, go I.
That was me falling on the floor. 3 years sober now, after 11 years of hell.
Watching in Edinburgh rn😄👍
I first saw this movie at school, in theology class. I didn't quite understand it at the time but I felt something special about it. It wasn't the typical trash movie you're shown in school.
I choose to take a rest on the couch. Its ok 4 me.
he tells you what the CORRECT CHOICE IS in the very first 2 words.
Choose Life. Anything that follows in his rant is empty, hollow and leads to death. Heroin too.
"I am the Way , the Truth and the Life" look up who said that. And choose Life.
Everything that follows is life, rubbish game shows friends, electric tin openers…that’s life it’s got highs and it’s got absolute shite parts too but all of that is still better then heroin.
So this is what Obi wan did between Episode 3 and 4
This comment is under appreciated 😁
Obi-wan went deep with them Death Sticks bro....wth.
I chose that 20 years ago. I'm a benefit to o the community.
Sums up modern life
omg this intro have the same lyrics as this song called heroine by dutch disorder
this opening scene blows my mind,why would anyone choose all that when they can just ….. choose heroin,dark concept
You’re joking right.
MASTERPIECE
Spud is fucking hilarious lol. Just his face.
So good

What A Film This Is
One of bests movies in history
Probably the best opening to any British movie ever!
I'd like Kevin Bridges to narrate the entire film.
