Review of Trainspotting

This movie reminded me of Requiem for a Dream. I'm not implying that one movie copied the other, nor am I implying any negative connotations. Just simply noticing the similarities. It had very interesting depictions and point of views of what one with a drug addiction might encounter. The story, at times, can be very emotional. There were also times where what was going on was creepy or strange, with intentions of making the viewer catch a glimpse of the protagonist's world. A job well done on that as well. The directing, writing, and acting were all exceptional. This movie is an emotional ride-along with the protagonist, which was, to say the least, insightful. Going back to the aforementioned movie, Requiem for a Dream; if you liked that, it's almost guaranteed you're going to like Trainspotting.
