I never thought of that. But I did think that it was interesting that sick boy said “at what age 22,23?” but Renton without thinking says “23” as if sick boy never bothered to remember.
@@Jesus420.69 sick boy turns out to be the biggest jackass of all of them. Even begbie is better by the end. It's an interesting point, because while Francis has a history of violence, Mark has a history of double-dealing and evasiveness and Spud has a history of helpless addiction, only Simon is the one who just doesn't give a damn about anybody else in the world. I think he changes the least.
@@tobywainleft8582 you just mindfucked me. I have a few friends who died young and they were older than me and i just realized when i die people will remember me as older than them.
If only death weren't so famously and finally the "undiscovered country", it would just be too easy to say that Tommy was by far the luckiest of them all.
TOTALLY. I LOVED THIS SCENE. Rents is like: I kno wha happened tae Tommy were ma fault. I've made peace wie that. But you wanna talk shite? Let's talk shite.
The way Sick Boy responded immediately with "I don't know what you're talking about" shows he knew exactly where Mark was going and that he lives with the guilt over the death of his kid every second of every day.
@@BillyButcher90 First off, no, they don't. If they did, the flowers would be writing the comments about us. Second, how would YOU know if flowers did have souls? Did you conduct some scientific research or just pull it out of your behind?
@@SalvableRuin Well according to the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, there is a concept of the eternal soul, known as the "atman," which is believed to be present in all living beings. According to this philosophy, all living entities, including humans, animals, plants, and even microscopic organisms, are believed to possess a soul. In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna explains that the soul is eternal and indestructible. It is not born, and it does not die; it simply changes bodies like a person changes clothes. This concept implies that all living beings, including plants, have a soul that is distinct from the physical body. While plants are considered to have a form of life and are respected in many spiritual traditions, including Hinduism, the specifics of the nature of the soul in plants may vary in different philosophical interpretations. Some may argue that plants have a lower form of consciousness compared to animals and humans, while others may believe that the soul in plants is different from that in animals and humans.
Sick Boy is the pessimistic audience that doesn't like nostalgia. Renton is definitely trying to find an answer in his past, and is hoping to find a future in it. Spud is how we should all be.
@@booqrdoit9138 Being pessimistic and not liking nostalgia? Just a way not to accept the past, and the responsibilities. Just a way not to recognize anything nice that happened. Just a way not to act, since nothing will turn good.
they completely forgot about this movie on the Oscars... Probably because it is a non politically correct movie. As you say the direction is really good, Boyle keeps getting better and better. Also the photography is amazing, music, and of course the actors...
All of the writings of Spud actually come from the original Trainspotting novel. So in the novel the scenes are from various different perspectives. Tommy not surviving is a Renton scene, Begbie pishing himself is a Spud scene, etc. I kind of wish they'd managed to get the opening line in there somehow, "The sweat wis lashing oafay Sick Boy; He wis trembling."
I’ve not seen the movie, but the scene with them standing together 20 years later hit hard. I lived the life back in the late 90s and early 2000s and carry the pain of it to this day, with no friends left to revisit anything. Choose life.
Mark is ready to look back, and take honest account of what happened to him, or at least he thinks he is. Sick Boy is not. In the first movie they both can leave Tommy behind.. just a casualty that was lost along the way. But Tommy is still with them, because they can never change who they are and what they did, what they experienced. He did matter, he does matter.
They did fight, they fought themselves and their own memories, their own mistakes, and they lost. They couldn't handle the guilt and shame, so they blotted out with a hit of skag.
I lived the same problems with drugs in my coutry, in that times we had a friend like Tommy, he started using drugs much later us, I warned you don't be like Tommy you're different from us you're a good guy. it's amazing that every druggie story there is a tommy and he always dies. My friend died in the process and i have been clean for 10 years. I couldn't help him out, sorry my poor English and all of you stay clean.
Good for you that you started being clean of drugs 10 years ago, man. Hope you'll stay clean and cool. And I hope you made peace with yourself for the loss of your friend.
Sometimes we really do have to revisit our youth to move forward. That's really ironic. I visited a place I have not been to in a long time last week. I went past a friend's house. There was a for sale sign outside it. That means that a parent of my friend has passed away, or both. Another part of my youth gone. But it's good to revisit a place, at least for the memories. And hopefully, you will have a moment where you can think and reflect on the people who are gone. Think of a smile, a laugh, a scent, a moment, in a place from your past, and visit that place, because we might not have another chance sometimes.
I totally agree. I went to a park I used to hang around as a kid. Hadn't been in 20 years and everything came flooding back. Was really healthy to take some time and reflect
@@findlay1arches Yeah im only 23 so I still have time to make changes. But i cant waste any more of my life on drugs. revisiting my youth made me see this.
@@lukasdoofus2592 yeah dude your still so young and have plenty of time to make changes. Drugs are fun but they ultimately lead to negativity. Nothing wrong with experimenting and having fun with friends as long as you know when enough is enough otherwise they can take over your life. Good luck brother.
Sometimes the past is a tricky thing to deal with. Some feel regret, others choose to forget. But part of growing up is acknowledging the mistakes that we've made and owning up to it. Trying to learn from them and hopefully not repeating them again........
Tommy’s demise and death was really all because of Mark... he stole that video which led to Lizzy dumping him and his depression then he sold Tommy drugs which led him to his illness sending him to his grave.
Not really, sure, Mark was the one who stole their tape, which yeah, in turn lead to their break up but come on, Tommy didn't need to take drugs he did that to himself.
@@RossTurner94 " Tommy didn't need to take drugs he did that to himself." He was in a moment of weakness. It was his friends' fault for either selling him the drug or not checking on him to see if he was ok.
@@Briselance Doesn't matter. Weakness smeakness, he made that decision on his own, he could've done something for himself in that state or found some other way to get high without the use of drugs. If I remember right, Renton DID check on Tommy. Either way though, it's not Rentons fault.
Mark needs money to buy drugs and Tommy can provide to both of them, this is what happens when you looking solutions of your problem to another "sick" person.
@@RossTurner94 renton checked on tommy after hed been diagnosed with HIV and was addicted to heroin. He even gave him more money, and both smiled at one another knowing it was going to heroin. Your view on male stoicism is extremely toxic, people need help sometimes you dingle.
Anyone that willingly gives someone their first hit of smack is a scumbag.... Even in my addiction I always told people off who wanted to try it... word for word out of my mouth was "I'm not gonna lead you into the abyss." That infant's death falls on everyone that was living in that flat not just sickboy and his girl....
No your just not right. You can have that opinion but if they are reaching out and asking for heroin then they will keep doing it until they get it. Its honestly better to show them the ropes so that they have a chance to not die. And no, I am not responsible for anyone else's. i wont touch a baby. i wont feed it. i wont touch it. I would however report the parents if i saw a child in that situation. better for them to get arrested than have a baby die.
Everyone makes their own choices can't play God and stop them if they want it they want it. And don't have babies is you can't take care of them they knew what they had but still choose to get high.
parents take full responsibility of their children. yes none of these would've happened if the rest bothered to spend a minute on checking the baby but again who brought her there in the first place? its nonsense to blame them when her parents were STILL around & not busy on anything besides taking heroin.
@@lukasdoofus2592 "Its honestly better to show them the ropes so that they have a chance to not die" No. It's better not to sell them any damn dose of drug, not to show them how to poison and slowly kill themselves. It's better to try and shake them off that death path.
@@Briselance It really is, you're right, I drink a lot and it has caused problems and I have told my brother a bunch of times, don't even try it, especially with addiction being a problem in our family. I like what Renton says in the movie, "if you'regoing to be addicted, be an addict, just be addicted to something good." We are all addicted to something wether it's sugar, coffee, green tea, working out, reading, movies, as long as it's good and not a bad thing in someone's life and healthier than hard drugs, than it's fine imo.
This hit differently without Tommy. THIS IS SAD, but that fight between sick boy and mark, crazy how they both blasted each other... impressed with the come back though.
Every time I watched "Rome", I kept wondering why Kevin McKidd looked so familiar. Didn't realize until now that he was Tommy. Tommy's death was so heartbreaking... along with the baby. 😭
If there was going to be another film it would be T0, and would be based off Skagboys, the prequel to Trainspotting. Course, it wouldn't have the original actors and probably won't be directed by Boyle considering he's getting on as it is.
Sic boy has the facial structure to pull it off. In fact he looks so majestic with his remaining bleach blonde hair that after I saw the second film a few years ago, For some reason I didn't picture him as someone who was unfortunately balding.
This film was worth the wait, must have watched it 5-6 times in the cinema as i missed the original, so wanted to make sure I full absorbed the last one. What an amazing two films.
Wasn't old enough to see TRAINSPOTTING as a child when it came out but I always knew it was the great 18-cert film with the brilliant soundtrack and one-liners ("choose life"). That's my nostalgic take with TRAINSPOTTING as were the days of big beat, house, and trip-hop playing on your radio and MTV Dance. And seeing T2 was like that for me, a throwback to mid/late-1990s, early 2000s madness.
Sick Boy pushes Renton on the death of Tommy, he knew Renton was gonna mention something back, at the very worst, telling Sick Boy that it was his fault for baby Dawn. Was this a kind of Sick Boy testing "confronting his own demons" through aggravating Renton? There is no way Sick Boy couldn't have seen that coming !!
Had a chance to watch T1 again at the Glasgow Film Festival a few weeks ago because of work. Just had an infant as well. When the baby scene hit, it was the scariest shi*t I've ever seen. rush back home and hug my wee boy.
Interesting how they made Spudd the secret hero and pivotal character in this movie. His ability to remember, coalesce and retain their youth as a novelist while maintaining and spreading his kindness is truly touching.
I grew up in the 60's & 70's (I'm 66 now) and never did drugs in my life, after promising my dad I wouldn't when I was 12. Just the name, heroin, evoked in me something to be avoided, something you never came back from.
Missed the point if that wasn't sarcasm. "Trainspotting" was the hobby of studying trains, what the cars did, becoming an expert in something that was ultimately pointless. Same with the addicts in the movies. They were experts in a lot of things that were ultimately pointless, from Sean Connery to heroin itself.
The subtle callbacks in framing and blocking and movement are brilliant. If you put the two movies side by side, the way everything lines up would be so impressive.
" I don't know what your talking about." he knows very well. when the "wolf Alice - silk" comes on and Simon looks totally devasted i honestly think he was devastated about his daughter. Time is horrible.
Who can know…maybe little Dawn and Tommy went on to a beautiful afterlife we can’t even imagine…I hope that’s where everyone goes..each and every one of us coz precious as life is, it hurts, it’s hurts us all in one way or another ❤
I loved this movie but it was like punch in the gut watching it. Scenes like this and all the talk about the past and what was done and what wasn’t just really hit me.
hes not dead he just sold out and moved to america. actually come to think of it ikevin mckidd has probably done more than any of them over the years. greys anatomy, rome that hannibal movie etc.
its a born slippy remix by Underworld but I don't think it was released by itself, because it is just an ambience, not a full remixed track. I've been looking for some trace of it but I don't think anyone involved thought it deserved to exist by itself
At least Tommy know the consequences when he hit the heroin for first time while little Dawn have no idea what happen when the gangs were busy injected the heroin into their system.
"Nostalgia - that's why you're here. You're a tourist in your own youth."
Was that meant for Renton or for us? 😅
Now that’s a good point, I hadn’t thought of it like that. Now you got me thinking…
Both for Renton and us the audience...
Yes. That’s exactly what I thought. I was 19 when this came out and went to watch it at the cinema, twice.
I never thought of that. But I did think that it was interesting that sick boy said “at what age 22,23?” but Renton without thinking says “23” as if sick boy never bothered to remember.

Cut me deep that bit, with young tommy.
He didn't pick up the plastic wrap from the flowers he put on the grave though. Littering is a grave sin.
"Shed be a woman by now" damn hit me like a ton of bricks and then the cute little rollover
"probably have a kid of her own", which is funny one of the twins who played Dawn did actually have a young kid by the time T2 came out
Me too. Especially now that my babygirl just learned how to roll over. When I saw that scene. I broke down. I couldn't imagine losing her.
I love how he hit Sick Boy back about the baby. No one is perfect bro

And I feel until today he and Alison still blame each other for what happened to baby Dawn
That was one of the most gut wrenching things I've seen in film. When they discovered the baby was dead.... Damn

Renton also stole the tape that lead to the breakup ... poor Tommy ...
The look of regret on Sick Boy's face at the end of the scene hits hard.
Anyone who if ever has chance to visit the Kingdom needs to visit this place
Corrour Summit, Scottish Highlands
Memorial moment is no important for sickboy , poor Tommy....
Both of these movies have surprisingly little to do with trains. 1/10 for me, Clive.
Missed the point if that wasn't sarcasm. "Trainspotting" was the hobby of studying trains, what the cars did, becoming an expert in something that was ultimately pointless.
Same with the addicts in the movies. They were experts in a lot of things that were ultimately pointless, from Sean Connery to heroin itself.
@@karazor-el6085 whooooosssshhhhh
They literally talk about trains in this scene 😂
Jesus that place is beautiful.
The subtle callbacks in framing and blocking and movement are brilliant. If you put the two movies side by side, the way everything lines up would be so impressive.
" I don't know what your talking about." he knows very well. when the "wolf Alice - silk" comes on and Simon looks totally devasted i honestly think he was devastated about his daughter. Time is horrible.
Who can know…maybe little Dawn and Tommy went on to a beautiful afterlife we can’t even imagine…I hope that’s where everyone goes..each and every one of us coz precious as life is, it hurts, it’s hurts us all in one way or another ❤
, Renton remembering his friend and sick boy putting the past behind. Both having their reasons why they feel that way,a simple but profound scene.
I loved this movie but it was like punch in the gut watching it. Scenes like this and all the talk about the past and what was done and what wasn’t just really hit me.
Scotland is so beautiful!
Nostalgia, choose dead
I cried.
First time I saw it I seriously thought they were gonna come to blows again with the way music ramps up 😅
Spud is the soul of this movie
I am here for nostalgia, I am here as a tourist in my youth.
This movie's so good.
The best scene in the film.
Just lost a old friend if I’m blessed to live another 20 years I think it’d be this
Tbis movie is underrated as hell
"How'd ya keep a lid on that one?"
Jeesh
hes not dead he just sold out and moved to america. actually come to think of it ikevin mckidd has probably done more than any of them over the years. greys anatomy, rome that hannibal movie etc.
He was also Soap in the Modern Warfare trilogy
@@Joe-ib3dy and coop in dog soldiers as well as vorenus in rome.
"Some time between the next few weeks and the next 15 years; Tommy will be no more"
Easily the best scene in this movie
The next scene after this is the best for me
Can’t wait for Trainspotting 3 when they’re old
Choose a nursing home
Choose Wurthers Originals
With how to music gets more intense I was expecting sick boy to just attack Renton
Ha the music. ... The best music I ever listen
The older you get, the harder this movie kicks.
"what other memories will you be revisiting?"
Tommy went on to become perhaps the most famous Centurion in all of Rome.
Epic sequal.worth the wait.
Świetny film
Song name at 00:08?
So this is what Obi-Wan was up to before he moved to Tatooine.
Don’t litter Spud
Cut out best part
I thought they were going to get violent here
Same here
Incredible sequel. I couldn’t believe it could be done. It twas
What is the song playing here? Been trying to find it for ages
Michael Lyness slow slippy - Underworld
@@nathanjcooper5441 I don't think it is. Doesn't match?!
Slow Slippy is when Renton reminds Sick Boy about his dead daughter
Lyness121 it’s called everytime day bro team 10
its a born slippy remix by Underworld but I don't think it was released by itself, because it is just an ambience, not a full remixed track. I've been looking for some trace of it but I don't think anyone involved thought it deserved to exist by itself
At least Tommy know the consequences when he hit the heroin for first time while little Dawn have no idea what happen when the gangs were busy injected the heroin into their system.
Too sad.... I can't bear it...😢
I adore this scene. Must be cause I’m 40
Tommy and Swanney both died :/
Did they ever explain how nobody went to jail over that?
because only spud,renton and simon knew.
I’ve never planned to do heroin but trainspotting had shown me heroin was more bad than I thought it was
I so miss
Far too few consequences for Simon.
