Train Spotting 2 Nofilmstuff Review!!
Trainspotting has become, and if it is not it should be considered as such, in a classic essential for any movie lover. Not only is it a film flip but it is also necessary, as it tells you in a very original way as a group of guys addicted to heroin hit bottom. It's the lowest thing that a human being can do in drugs, it's a lesson about what that evil, hazy world is, and how things look once you get out of that nightmare. Based on the novel by Irvine Welsh, it was a well-narrated and directed film, nominated for an Oscar for Best Screenplay adapted and brilliantly performed. That said, it is not surprising that the news of a second part meant that the fans, among whom I tell myself and several of my friends, we enter the hype of the century.
Trainspotting 2 could well be considered a free adaptation of Welsh's second novel or it could be considered a "you do not have h% / + os to do a second part" and from there came this film. The plot is set 20 years after the events narrated in the first film, in Edinburgh, with the same actors, it is always good to see the characters grown, their evolution and more in a film like this. The film begins by presenting the current situation of each of the characters. Mark Renton has overcome his addiction to heroin and leads a healthy life after having run away with the money of others and start a new life far from his hometown. That he decides to return is the trigger of everything, and the sense of his return is very simple, the only people who really know him and understand him are still there, feel empty and need to see his friends again, although not everyone wants to return to See you. While Spud remains on the drug, playing bottom, others as Sick Boy goes ahead doing what he does best, trying to meet his goals, and what we might consider the antagonist, Begbie, jailbreak, which together with the Mark's turn, causes the plot to advance.
Everything develops in the most plausible and normal way possible, already knowing the characters. The pace is more leisurely than in the previous installment, which was much more beastly, abnormal and crazy. Here times have changed and the characters must accept that reality. The situations he creates follow in the same tone and style, they are original and some of wit, not forgetting the homage to the previous film, which is usually done through the memory of the protagonists and ours. It is a good use of what they do with the cinematographic language like for example, when Mark is going to reproduce a disc of music that in his stage of yonki listened to all hours and now does not dare. But at the end of the film, not only puts it, but also dances and enjoys it like 20 years ago. It's a good conclusion for fans of the first film, which was nothing to do, but not annoying. What's more, it pleases you, you share laughter and enjoy it. I especially stay with Mark's monologue of "Choose Life" as a nod to the opening speech of the previous film.
Danny Boyle has not only really enjoyed shooting this movie but he has done what he has wanted and done it in a big way. The direction of this guy is impressive, more crazy than in his previous film, Steve Jobs, and calmer than in Slumdog Millionare. He is self-honoring himself, he is giving us a giant candy in the form of a syringe. He is the only qualified director to run T2. The montage is a pass, just like in the first movie. The soundtrack is orgasmic, although the term is not adequate. Each and every one of the selected songs does not only stick with each plane, light composition, moment and character. It is that they are good subjects, that create a parallelism with the previous film. A genius. The picture is beautiful, nothing to do with the dirty tone of the first film.
The cast probably enjoyed the same as they did 20 years ago, when they were inexperienced young people willing to make movies. Now they have changed, they have made many films and to face T2 is something very special. And it's perfect for your characters. We must highlight them all. Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller and Robert Carlyle. That yes, the best is still Ewan, but that's no surprise. Looks at all times, It's a crack. Just look at his face. And remembering that great moment of the outrage ...
In summary. If you're a fan of the movie, go see it. The dash's weaknesses and predictability is offset by nostalgia. So I personally put a 8, and thinking critically, a 7.
Nice film looking forward watching it :)
Nice!! lml
