TRAINSPOTTING ( DIR: DANNY BOYLE ) 1996

In the film we find Renton and four friends of him in Edinburgh.The film is a narration by Renton.Renton,a drug addict is sure about one thing,he is not going to "choose" the things in his life.Rather he would live life as he feels it.To him drugs are far better than sex.After getting caught by security guards for shoplifting,Renton decides to quite drug and goes to London,although he keeps contact with his friends in Edinburgh.The death of Tommy,brings the remaining four friends together in his funeral and SickBoy comes up with a drug deal which will bring money to them.After the successful deal,Renton runs away with the money.He decides that its about time for him to start making choices in his life.

When the film talked of drug,it showed it without glamour.Its a treat to see the film,regardless of whether you know the story or not.Although the scenes can get pretty vulgar at points of time.
