Trainspotting

Post by PanzerMeyer »

Has anyone seen this film? I heard the accents in the movie are very difficult to understand if you are an American. I rented this film and will let you guys know what I think about it.

What nationality is it then?

Sounds like a terrorist plot to me...

It was made in Scotland, they're all mostly Glaswegians - it is generally geared around the drug scene to some degree.
It is not the technique that wins a fight, but the more furious mind - Kodiak WOF

Good film about heroine addiction set in UK, mostly Scots. Many consider this a cult classic. Graphic scenes but well written and cinematography suits the plot well.

Harder to read

Oh, you think its hard to understand when they talk? Try reading the book, where everything is spelled like its pronounced. Ouch it makes my head hurt; ive been trudging my way through the sequel (book); its sooooo slow; it hurts the brain

This is cult viewing! On a par with The Blues Brothers in this country.
