For better or for worse, T2 is incredibly similar to its predecessor. I love the original Trainspotting and really appreciate Danny Boyle's approach to making each and every scene artistic. Once again, his use of lighting, color, camera angles, and editing shine through without distracting from the plot. Speaking of which, the screenplay was very strong for such a delayed sequel. Because the source material takes place 20 years after its predecessor as well, T2 feels natural, unlike many sequels and rehashes made today. The performances across the board are strong, and every character went through strong development as we learn about what has happened in the 20 year gap and how it is effecting their lives today. Spud was the most intriguing character to me this time around. His character is the easiest to cheer for in a gang of misfits and petty crooks. a b c d "T2 Trainspotting (2017)". The Numbers.

They leave together, go to Diane’s apartment, and have sex. Renton stays the night on a couch, and is horrified the following morning when he discovers that Diane is actually a fifteen-year-old high school student. He tries to put the incident behind him but Diane has a different idea—she threatens to tell the police that they had sex if he does not stay in touch with her. Meanwhile, Tommy and Spud also have a terrible night: Tommy’s girlfriend freaks out when she finds out that he lost their porno and Spud gets too drunk, passes out, and defecates in Gail’s bed. The film's release sparked controversy in some countries, including Britain, Australia and the United States, as to whether or not it promoted and romanticised drug use. U.S. Senator Bob Dole accused it of moral depravity and glorifying drug use during the 1996 U.S. presidential campaign, although he later admitted that he had not seen the film. [58] Producer of the film Andrew Macdonald responded to these claims in a BBC interview stating "we were determined to show why people took drugs ... you had to show that it was fun and that it was awful" to which Boyle adds "It's the music and humour that makes people feel it's glamorising drugs." [59] Despite the controversy, it was widely praised and received a nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay in that year's Academy Awards. Time magazine ranked Trainspotting as the third best film of 1996. [60] Legacy [ edit ]Why Trainspotting is the greatest film of all time". Ford On Film. 14 March 2013.

After twenty years, there would be obvious ambiguity in how to go about writing and directing this cult-classics' sequel. 2017 is brimming with sequels of both original movies and installments to well-established series; thus this may be a recurring issue in the near future. T2 Trainspotting is very clearly a movie made for the fans of the original, for people who loved the first film but haven't watched it in years, and have fond memories of it. This film preys upon the fact that some people will be so wound up in their own nostalgia that they won't give this film the independence from the original it needed. a b c d e f g h "Filming Locations for Trainspotting".

An immensely challenging sequel to produce; Danny Boyle's reprisal was never going to satisfy old fans and newcomers alike.

Trainspotting (Film) study guide contains a biography of Danny Boyle, literature essays, quiz questions, major themes, characters, and a full summary and analysis. The Academy Award-nominated screenplay by John Hodge follows a group of heroin addicts in an economically depressed area of Edinburgh and their passage through life. Beyond drug addiction, other themes in the film include an exploration of the urban poverty and squalor in Edinburgh. [5] In addition, the winding corridors of the former cigarette factory, now decorated with an assortment of recent film posters, are housing the costume and art departments. Art is filled with storyboards detailing a frame-by-frame analysis of how each scene should look, set designs ("reference ideas and general junkie stuff," says MacDonald) and photos of "interesting" street corners in London that might make appropriate locations.

With filming completed, Boyle and Hirakabu bundle into an editing suite in London's Soho for the all-important job of cutting the film down' to its required 90-minute length, a process that in Trainspotting's case will take eight weeks to complete. "This is the point where the director comes in and looks at the film - and screams! " jokes Hirakabu. "It's always longer than you ideally want it to be, and it becomes evident that certain scenes either need to be cut down or deleted. The main thing is to look for continuity, to ensure that everything works. It's very detailed."Despite all of this - T2 is a good film. It's not a great film, but it certainly isn't awful either. Its' greatest failing is that it can't decide whether to create an entirely new story - which would abandon the roots of the original - or to re-hash Trainspotting - which would be total cowardice. The film does the worst of both worlds, in that it doesn't have a great deal of original thought but it also doesn't capture what the first film did. But this is the only chance we really get to examine everything," he adds. "There are so many different things you have to take into consideration. You have to balance up the colour of the place, the temperature, and then brief the location manager about things you need. The Brewhouse, for example, is the only pub we could find with the necessary balcony. We had difficulty finding a crematorium and especially a courtroom. Courtrooms tend to be reluctant to let film crews in because... I don't know, Taggart misbehaved or something."
