Review Film: T2 Trainspotting (2017)

in #film6 years ago


In T2 aka Terminator 2: Judgment Day, T-800 goes back to the past then hunted down by the sad T-1000. While on T2 Trainspotting, Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor with the same grin secant) returned home, remembering the youth, before being pursued by Francis Begbie (Robert Carlyle) the sociopath who was about to demand revenge for the event 20 years ago (ending Trainspotting) Mark took 16,000 pounds off. The nosy reference to the title simply explains how director Danny Boyle and screenwriter John Hodge handled a loose adaptation of Irvine Welsh's Porn and Trainspotting novel, which is like the first movie, wanting to have fun, craze between the darkness of the story.

If Darren Aronofsky through Requiem for A Dream emphasizes the depressive tragedy of drug addiction, Boyle and Hodge, without forgetting the bad effects, placing her heroine characters as part of the hegemony of Brit culture, especially in the working class youth. His arbitrary attitude, drug abuse, is a revered wildness, as their idols (Iggy Pop, Pulp, Blur) are constantly listening to his work and then master the music of the world. But that was 2 decades ago. The fall of the Britpop movement marks the changing times. Those who are reluctant to follow the changes will be left behind, drowned, or as Simon's (increasingly charismatic) Jonny Lee Miller expresses, "A tourist in his / her own youth", Mark was a tourist of his youth, returning to Edinburgh after living a "normal" life in Amsterdam, which in fact failed to run smoothly. Simon with his girlfriend, a Bulgarian girl named Veronika (Anjela Nedyalkova) makes money with extortion. Spud (Ewen Bremmer perfectly mixes the strangeness and purity of his character's heart) still stuck addiction, keeping him away from his son. While Franco had just escaped from prison 5 years before the sentence (25 years) ended. Long story short, this quartet has not changed. The similarity that Boyle directly affirmed through the use of Lust for Life belonging to Iggy Pop in the opening of the first film. T2 is not just a direct hit, but stomping with the same sense of energy that Trainspotting fans know well.

Though beginning to hit each other as a result of Mark's betrayal 20 years ago, Simon's reunion with him (later Spud) culminated in a business offering to open a brothel under the guise of a sauna. The need for large capital would have forced all three to commit a crime to raise money. If it had only been fueled by youth ambitions and turmoil, the cause of the protagonists willing to plunge into the black world is now very reasonable. Guilt plus fall to the nadir push Mark, even Spud who want to leave the opium in order to get along with the former lover also his son. Simon initially wanted to reply to the actions of Mark, but as the friendship re-established the intention was slowly fading, While "maturation" does not seem to be the right term, our Edinburgh quartet is no longer wild. Occasionally heroin still flows in the veins, but except Spud, it's just in the name of nostalgia. Like a fossil that has run out of time, evil is done as a desperate attempt tends to despair in order to survive or atonement mistakes in order to establish a broken love. The second thing is the big theme of T2 Trainspotting. Not a Mark, even Franco who thanks to the convincing appearance of Carlyle spreading the horror at each occurrence was fluctuating his heart found the only son reluctant to continue his violent path, choosing to study hotel management.

Through its sequel, Trainspotting is no longer trying to create controversy, in line with Boyle's style, although with cinematography Anthony Dod Mantle still presents a surreal moment plus the impression of disorientation through the use of dutch angle, shadow, dynamic camera motion, or neon colors, the worst toilet in Scotland "or" baby creeping ". Also, conclusions that choose to focus on moral-based reconciliation. Toh T2 Trainspotting is still familiar, either because of the many references to the first movie, the cameo, the songs, or the overall spirit. The existence of differences is part of the natural process of natural development is reasonable, even worthy of his character.

Sort:  

It's a decent enough sequel, I thought Boyle did a good job but it definitely didn't match the impact of the original, I also thought the trailer made it look like it was going to be better than it was but I was still happy with it.

I saw Tranispotting when I was 17 years old and I think that the scene of the baby walking on the roof while the character of Ewan McGregor wants to stop drugs seemed the best because in reality I had not seen anything like it and when I found out about this sequel (La which I have not seen) I felt that I should leave the story as I had left it, as if I did not want to see anything else of these characters but I know that one day I should see it.
