The toilet scene in the first film is the best scene in any movie ever made. Fucking incredible. I'm a recovering addict and its the most real experience I've ever seen on screen. Just incredible.
Maigyn Luthe as a heroin addict for 15 years and 6 clean I can concur. The entire first film is spot on. The scene where they find Dawn's bairn dead and shoot up instead of dealing with the baby corpse sent chills through me as I've been there; hiding in plain sight from life's problems and failures
I remember seeing Trainspotting back in the day (when we finally could in the US), and I was just blown away by how well the book was translated to film. And yeah, had to wait 20 years but the sequel brought me joy and tears and everything I had hoped for.
@@Psilocybin77 Jonny is a bit on the shy side, but he is intelligent and humorous. He seemed more relaxed here. He kept sharing looks with his mate, Ewan.
I cannot listen to the Wolf Alice song without tearing up. It's almost indescribable! Filled with a genuine humility, appreciation and love for life, even when so much around me only screams the opposite. Thank you Danny, Irvine, cast & Wolf Alice.
Did you just completely miss the opioid crisis? We also had Requiem for a Dream which was..its the only drug movie I have seen that doesn't glorify drug use because it is just about disturbing enough to start hinting at the reality. Yeah some bad things happen in Trainspotting, but the reality...maybe Renton made it out alive but everyone else is dead or homeless and there's no entertaining reunion 20 years later
I love the first film, loved it since 96, but for some reason I couldn't bring myself to watch T2 until this past weekend...maybe let the hype and expectation simmer down or go away completely. I found the 2nd film absolutely fantastic! Such a worthy and well done sequel! Maybe it's just cuz it's new to me and I've seen the first one so many times, but right now, I may even enjoy the 2nd movie more. Now I hope they make a 3rd movie so we can spend some more time with these characters
love the OST, especially Silk and Dad's Best Friend. Wish they put No More Catholics on there! Anyways Kudos Danny and co. for a great sequel that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Danny Boyle made a good point when he was saying when you're young time means nothing to you, you just don't care about it, but in reality it's time that doesn't care about you..I related so much to trainspotting as a young heroin addict myself at the time and time meant nothing to me in my younger years but like in the second film 20 yrs later I was 20 yrs older and really related so much to these characters it's crazy but I think you DO actually have to maybe not grow up but accept and take responsibility for who and what you are and were if you want to find any kind of peace and sanity and of course time does matter..I've never read the books I'll have to see if I can get hold of them they sound good.. peace out from Dublin, Ireland 🇨🇮 🌍
Anyone else love Ewen Bremner? He's a cool guy and would love to see him in more movies. Other than Trainspotting and T2 I've only seen him in 1 other movie where he had a small role but ok.. time to look up his work through wikipedia. ;)
Guy was in Wonder Woman. Tell women about the wako soldier who breaks into song in that movie and a lot of people will recognize the guy (and most possible won't know what his name is yet anyways - he's a known actor ).
You're kidding right? Ewen Bremner was in Hollywood successful hits like 'Black Hawk Down', 'Pearl Harbor', 'Snatch', 'The Rundown', 'Match Point' and his recent work he's in 'Wonder Woman' and expect to see him in 'Renegades Mission of Honor' Idk how this movie will do but it's a hollywood piece of work so there's always some chance of success. But no matter how big the movie is his roles are always small and invisible, indeed I agree he deserves to get more credit for his work.
I was a child of the 60s a teenager of the 70s and adult of the 80s I'm So glad I grew up in the 60s 70s and 80s and now, you have to have lived it to appreciate it, you will never get them decades back the best ones ever, now is crap.
Love the bit that starts around 30:56 about the contract stating that the two actors tied to TV shows couldn’t change their hair. Jonny expressed great surprise and then quips that he bleached his hair. It’s a funny moment.
The sequel is even better than the first film and I enjoyed it from the perspective of being an ex addict, the same generation as these guys and my favorite music included Iggy, Lou Reed a d Eno- electronic music...I admit I had a hard time watching the first one after getting clean but now it's no problem but uncomfortable at times or in ways, Heroin addiction and drug abuse should never be glamorized but there is a fine line in art I suppose
Rick Jones I think the films are equally good, it’s just the second feels like it’s better to you because whereas the original film encapsulates a certain era of your life, the sequel encapsulates the CURRENT era of your life. Ya know what I mean?
The pub in question is my local - ‘The Busy Bee’ and I can tell you, that’s what it was once like, if my “fenian bastard” dad walked into the bar it wouldn’t be odd to hear half the pub burst into a rendition of ‘The Sash’! Brilliantly embarrassing though, they’d only know a couple of verses, forcing my dad to have to finish the song for them. Loyalists and Scottish Presbyterians. Not a thumb between them..............
When I 1st saw Trainspotting , it was the 1st time hearing such English ... Couldn't understand anything & I was a bit Shocked that this is English. LOL
Trainspotting is for me the most impressive film I know. It s like a slap in your face, and if you come up you get another hit in your stomack. My cousin suffers heroine in Berlin 1980s , and she survived it, with remove from silly tatoos and all kind of storys. This is of course NOT a pro-drugs film a glorification, it s something else. ;)
I was very apprehensive about this, but it was done excellently. Not giving anything away, but it has a perfect tone and takes nothing from the first. I was worrying it would ruin the original ending. It does not
I've just read porno for the umpteenth time, then followed it up by the T2 film. I do prefer the book as a story and the film stands alone as it does...sub par in comparison with rhe first but not bad. My biggest critique is that they didn't feature Terry Lawson. Here's hoping a film gets made of the books he apears in and its written, made and acted well. Set the Juice loose, spice ay life.
The charter of spud blew me away in the first movie. When he starts singing at the funeral I was suddenly confronted with the bigger context of decaying Scotland. Not just that they had been colonized by 'English wankers' but generations of their youth had been exploited ruthlessly by the empire. I could see all of the lads in uniform heading off to the Western Front... coming back broken and twisted or not at all... the echos of unimaginable brutality... chewed up and spat out... leaving an hopeless cycle of domestic violence and betrayal. The drugs made perfect sense.... they still do.
This movie is so great cuz what Renton said is true.Choose fukin facebook,twitter,with a status I'm at launch and hope there is somebody that REALLY REALLY cares ,(yea,right...Nobody cares what ur writing truly there u just thinkin they are,but I ask u for the truth..WHO DOES IT REALLY ??!)- Renton is all that saying in ironic way...but ask yourself honest is it really so?do u have really 1250 friends on social network media?I doubt!Maybe your mam and dad and 2 true friends.That's how many u have!
this is how all of them should have been in the movie, looks-wise. and dany boyle should also have been playing a character. seeing them like this feels so much more visceral, organic, natural and real, that's imo what the first movie was about. instead in t2 they all looked liked overpaid celebrities. what a shame, trainspotting 2 could easily have been the best thing ever. instead it was just cheap trash.
Maybe I hasn't get it coz English isn't my mother tongue,but they always referred to "Porno" then actually it's " Dead men's trousers" final after twenty years chapter

"He's always been lacking in moral fiber"
"He knows a lot about Sean Connery!"
"That's hardly a substitute!"
Spud is the man.
And Danny Boyle, oh boy, he's looking more and more like Morrissey.
@K S Well, Mega Mind actually looks like a young Morrissey.
The toilet scene in the first film is the best scene in any movie ever made. Fucking incredible. I'm a recovering addict and its the most real experience I've ever seen on screen. Just incredible.

Congratulations on being around to remissness. Keep sharing.
@@michealhuff2299 Dawn is the name of the child. Allison is her mother.
@ryan king I think it's more of a symbol of the depth (no pun intended) to which an addict will go to get their fix.
I remember seeing Trainspotting back in the day (when we finally could in the US), and I was just blown away by how well the book was translated to film. And yeah, had to wait 20 years but the sequel brought me joy and tears and everything I had hoped for.
It's about time they made a sequel to this classic film... Danny Boyle seems like a really nice person as well.
When you ask yourself "Wtf is that glorious song?" and it's the first question, you just know this interview is going to be good.
Ewan bremner is a talented dude, speaks so articulately.
Jonny Lee Miller is such a smart guy, always sarcastic and cool but nobody asked him anything, what a shame! =/
Yeah exactly.
I've seen a few interviews with him and Ewan McGregor and he's usually so quiet : (
Yes
@@Psilocybin77 Jonny is a bit on the shy side, but he is intelligent and humorous. He seemed more relaxed here. He kept sharing looks with his mate, Ewan.
Kinda makes him cooler in a way though...
I cannot listen to the Wolf Alice song without tearing up. It's almost indescribable! Filled with a genuine humility, appreciation and love for life, even when so much around me only screams the opposite. Thank you Danny, Irvine, cast & Wolf Alice.
I wish Robert Carlyle was there :(
Trainspotting is an incredible important film. In one way, I think it scared a generation from using heroin.
Did you just completely miss the opioid crisis? We also had Requiem for a Dream which was..its the only drug movie I have seen that doesn't glorify drug use because it is just about disturbing enough to start hinting at the reality. Yeah some bad things happen in Trainspotting, but the reality...maybe Renton made it out alive but everyone else is dead or homeless and there's no entertaining reunion 20 years later
I was an heroin user when this film was released, I always thought it glossed over heroin use....
30:23 I love this part lol, I love Jonny's sense of humour
I love the first film, loved it since 96, but for some reason I couldn't bring myself to watch T2 until this past weekend...maybe let the hype and expectation simmer down or go away completely.

Born Slippy is so much more than just a nice song. It is the soundtrack to the 90s lol :D

I watched Trainspotting and Trainspotting T2 last night one after the other Fantastic film's.
I have so much love for Spud
that lassie wi the question at the end......I was praying for a pint glass to come arching through the air.
hahahha
Same here man.

To each their own
Truly excellent work, Danny.

Imagine hearing happy birthday from most of the main cast and director who worked on trainspotting
I love these interviews! Keep it up :)
I felt sorry for the characters because in their world, the movie Trainspotting doesn't exist.
Love Jonny Lee Miller, shame they didn't speak to him much
I love this thank you guys. Peace and love
Ewen Bremner looks GOOD! Just wanted to point that out. You should look up his daughter, by the way, you'll find a great little story about her.
thank you. Just thank you.

I like that fight scene in Pub
Non Scots might not get that the actor Ewen playing Spud is pretty posh and definitely hadn't done drugs before .
When I 1st saw Trainspotting , it was the 1st time hearing such English ... Couldn't understand anything & I was a bit Shocked that this is English. LOL
Hello sheriff...sharon from Scotland...leith..Edinburgh..were the film is made....its Scottish dialogue your listening to...not "proper " English.....
Europe I'm down sniped up snooped down. Hey, awesome film guys
Ewan McGregor is a world treasure and must be protected forever.
Trainspotting is for me the most impressive film I know.
It s like a slap in your face, and if you come up you get another hit in your stomack.

Ehhhhhhh.... lol
My dream is to maybe have a Third film in 10 or 20 years again, just end it off with a trilogy, the whole lifetime of a wasted group of youth friends.
The woman with the last question would make Spud proud
The lady asking the question near the end is positively unbearable.
they all are
She is a pure definition of a hipster.
she kind of rambled on a bit too much i think. they all look a tad confused by the final question
That's not very nice.
Well, she sounds pretty enthusiastic about the first movie. Obviously she could have been a lot more to the point about it. She got carried away.
the questions Doe the questions
CHOSE?
The interviewer talks way too much.
T2 wasn’t as good not bad movie but spuds and mark choose life !!!!!
Great interview, but that somebody should have cut short that lady rambling on. I had to fast forward.
That girl asking the question needs to get to the point quicker. Atleast have a good question.. :/
I've just read porno for the umpteenth time, then followed it up by the T2 film. I do prefer the book as a story and the film stands alone as it does...sub par in comparison with rhe first but not bad. My biggest critique is that they didn't feature Terry Lawson. Here's hoping a film gets made of the books he apears in and its written, made and acted well. Set the Juice loose, spice ay life.

Define 'middle aged'. My friends who used have died. The only worthwhile part of T2 is Renton's speech. A 50 year old smack head is hard to find.
The ego of the guy interviewing these great actors and director is appalling. What a waste of a great opportunity to have an interesting conversation.
Goddamn, how long is her question? You can tell she thinks a lot of herself
This movie is so great cuz what Renton said is true.Choose fukin facebook,twitter,with a status I'm at launch and hope there is somebody that REALLY REALLY cares ,(yea,right...Nobody cares what ur writing truly there u just thinkin they are,but I ask u for the truth..WHO DOES IT REALLY ??!)- Renton is all that saying in ironic way...but ask yourself honest is it really so?do u have really 1250 friends on social network media?I doubt!Maybe your mam and dad and 2 true friends.That's how many u have!
Interviewer is pretty annoying.
Interviewer opens horribly by swearing..may have not been total cringe if he weren't American
this is how all of them should have been in the movie, looks-wise.
and dany boyle should also have been playing a character.
seeing them like this feels so much more visceral, organic, natural and real, that's imo what the first movie was about.
instead in t2 they all looked liked overpaid celebrities.
what a shame, trainspotting 2 could easily have been the best thing ever.
instead it was just cheap trash.
Maybe I hasn't get it coz English isn't my mother tongue,but they always referred to "Porno" then actually it's " Dead men's trousers" final after twenty years chapter
