Trainspotting
Trainspotting 2
rewatched 1 and then 2 for the first time. Back to back. Had to crank volume to 120 db's to try and grasp the FUCKING Scortish accents.
Was expecting sequel to be lame. In fact, they've should have made it lame on purpose, that would've been an accurate reflection of life in your 40's/50's: lame, undignified and generally pretty fucking disgraceful. i'm 50 this year. Didn't our ancestors all fucken die about now? Can't help but feel some sort of biological chime intoning "fuckit mate, that'll do."
Plenty of scenes in T2 reminiscing the lads "glory days" that REALLY reinforced how awesome it is to be young, dumb and full of cum. Wow, Renton even shoehorned in an update of his "Choose Life" speech for 2017 too.
Cue google: spoiler :

Choose designer lingerie, in the vain hope of kicking some life back into a dead relationship. Choose handbags, choose high-heeled shoes, cashmere and silk, to make yourself feel what passes for happy. Choose an iPhone made in China by a woman who jumped out of a window and stick it in the pocket of your jacket fresh from a South-Asian firetrap. Choose Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram and a thousand others ways to spew your bile across people you've never met. Choose updating your profile, tell the world what you had for breakfast and hope that someone, somewhere cares. Choose looking up old flames, desperate to believe that you don't look as bad as they do. Choose live-blogging, from your first wank till your last breath; human interaction reduced to nothing more than data. Choose ten thing you never knew about celebrities who've had surgery. Choose screaming about abortion, choose rape jokes, slut-shaming, revenge porn and an endless tide of depressing misogyny. Choose 9/11 never happened, and if it did, it was the Jews. Choose a zero-hour contract and a two hour journey to work, and choose the same for your kids, only worse, and maybe tell yourself that it's better that they never happened. And then sit back and smother the pain with an unknown dose of an unknown drug made in somebody's fucking kitchen. Choose unfulfilled promise and wishing you'd done it all differently. Choose never learning from your own mistakes. Choose watching history repeat itself. Choose the slow reconciliation towards what you can get, rather than what you always hoped for. Settle for less and keep a brave face on it. Choose disappointment and choose losing the ones you love then as they fall from view, a piece of you dies with them until you can see that one day in the future, piece by piece they will be all gone and there will be nothing left of you to call alive or dead. Choose your future, Veronica. Choose life
