Review of Trainspotting (1996) by Cameron J — 18 Sep 2012
It starts off very strong but then, about halfway through, the plot and tone take a huge change and everything stops making any thematic sense. Much of the plot ends up not being resolved and we don't end up learning anything in regards to drug addiction.
How can we know that Renton overcomes his addiction at the end? What happened to his high schooler girlfriend? Why does Renton learn that his lifestyle is wrong through an event totally unrelated to his drug use? The questions go on and on.
