In some scenes the Scottish dialect/slang are more pronounced, particularly in Spud's job interview (he is virtually incoherent at times). I would have been disturbed too!sorry but you’re obviously an idiot if you thought the book was challeningWell, if English is not your mother tongue it is quite difficult to deal with all the Scottish in the novel. The novel gives a completely different feel than the movie, although both are excellent.

Altogether the soundtrack really epitomises the early to mid ‘90s music scene from the underground androgyny of Elastica to then club royalty Underworld.

The original UK special edition box set video was withdrawn from sale after only two days, after Polygram discovered that they had added more than the nine deleted scenes.

This might be a particular class of locomotive, a particular type of carriage or all the rolling stock of a particular company. The behaviour resembles in some manners the compulsive behaviour and obsessed fixation of a heroin addict forced on by physical abstinence, which by the same standards makes little or no sense to anyone else: "Who needs reasons when you got heroin? Yet it is well worth the effort; the ability to ‘read Scottish’ will become second nature after a while.

Trying to get your head around passages like “ah whip oaf ma keks and sit oan the cold wet porcelain shunky” is a challenge for native English speakers. Posted in Book vs Movie by thepunktheory. The cryptic film title is a reference to a scene (not included in the film) in the original book, where Begbie and Renton meet 'an auld drunkard' who turns out to be Begbie's estranged father, in the disused Leith Central railway station, which they are using as a toilet. Differences between the original cut of the film and its North American release include: These were available in the Green Edition. Boyle simply sums up a time and a place through good music, good directing and good casting. Written on 4th February 2014. ‘the idea is to make the music really really collectable so the train spotters will buy it in their pathetic thousands’ The images are simply superb.

The UK cinema version was uncut but video versions were cut by 14 seconds by the BBFC and slightly edited the needle puncturing the skin during Renton's overdose scene. Trainspotting is the first novel by Scottish writer Irvine Welsh, first published in 1993. I’d say the accent is a positive touch that allows the reader to join the story as a more “in-character” voyeur, though I will have to do my best to remember I am not IN the story, myself.

Trainspotting "Over the years, heroin and addiction have provided the subject matter for more than a few noteworthy films." Set in the late ‘80s, it exposes us to the world of Edinburgh’s underclass antihero, Mark Renton, and his group of hedonistic and heroin addicted friends. One reassuring correlation between Boyle’s films is his ability to pick the right songs for exactly the right moments, changing the way you perceive and remember the scenes completely. This one had ben sitting on my shelf for half an eternity. A month ago I finally grabbed the book and was excited to dive into Irvine Welsh famous story of drug addiction.
