Obi wan kenobi ep 1 and 2 reaction
You guys need to watch the second movie it's great
:)
@@keiranmcdowell6468 nah "Acid house" yes T2 no.
req for a dream
Fun fact, the cameraman who shot the underwater scenes for the toilet sequence also worked on the underwater shots for Phantom Menace. He greeted Ewan MacGregor on the EP1 set with a loud "Couldn't you get a real actor instead of this Scottish prick?"
Nothing funnier than Great Britains rivalries/banter
Imagine, someone who had anything to do with Phantom Menace talking shit about anyone hahahaha!
@@CyberChunk77 Ah, somebody from the olden days, where pretending the prequels were the worst thing that ever happened to this earth was in fashion lol.
@@baguettegott3409 I mean, the prequels are ass. It's not about fashion. They're certainly not the worst thing ever, but they definitely suck. It's OK to wax lyrical about the "high ground" and "duel of the fates" or whatever. Just means that you watched those movies when you were a child and have an attachment to them. Not a big deal.
@@CyberChunk77 Well, we can certainly agree that they're worse than the orginial trilogy :D I still like them (although I have never seen anybody talk about the "high ground" as if it were a particularly good line? I thought that was one of the ones people generally make fun of). I consider them a case of great idea, questionable execution.
And for the record, I watched them for the first time at 19, but I am quite attached to Star Wars as a whole so that argument probably still counts.
And it is out of fashion. People have mostly moved on to devote all their passionate hatred and disdain to the sequels. Most prequel-dislikers I know have just... stopped talking about them all the time lol.
15:46 is going down in the blindwave hall of fame
That was unspeakably amazing.
Their reaction to the toilet scene too 😂
I almost passed out from laughing !!!!
“A half a second after he said it! ….FUCK YOU!” That killed me.
It's almost like Danny Boyle figured "this is where most people will wonder where are the trains in this movie. That's when we'll immediately cut to a trian."
Reasons you think Aaron will be hilarious during this reaction: needle phobia.
Reasons Aaron is actually hilarious during this reaction: "I haven't seen any trains in this movie."
That is so Aaron 🤣
That shit was fucking golden. 🤣😂
And _also_ "needle phobia" :).
Also his chair spinning. In the end, he's a mess especially with his hair and everything.
@@ashscott6068 I take it you didn't actually watch the video and have no idea what we're talking about?
Pedro Pascal mentioned to Ewan McGregor in an interview that he had been travelling for a while and came back to New York. The first thing his friends did was drag him to the movies to see Trainspotting.
He said the film shocked and impressed him so much by how different it was from the regular formula back then, that it inspired him to push hard into acting.
So because of Ewan and this movie, we have The Mandalorian 😁
Obi Wan did really trained everyone huh
Yeah, nah. Mando was getting made with or without Pedro. It’s a role just about anyone could have done, and it didn’t hinge on his cooperation at all.
And joel
Renton calling himself "the most miserable, pathetic, servile trash that was ever shat into civilization" is still Ewan McGregor's all-time best line.
Ask any heroin addict including myself and they'll tell you that is exactly how they think of themselves
15:46 might be one of the greatest moments in Blind Wave history lmfao
The sequel Trainspotting: T2 is actually really good and very moving in a different way. It manages to really hark back to the themes of the original, but approach all the same characters from a mid-life point of view. I highly recommend it.
But it should be seen in a theatre...it is a cinematic treat!
This proves that BW need to watch more movies like that. Independent, artistic movies. Its unlike most of their content, but that reaction was pure gold!
I would love too see them react to some David Lynch lol
@@nicolasriveros943 yeah, they should jump right in with Eraserhead or Inland Empire. That would be hell of a reaction!
And foreign films, oldies too.
Most American "Film lovers" have only seen massive blockbusters or Shovedownyouethroat Oscar bait films or so called American indie films that ironically have a budget of 60 million
Withnail and I
The guy who sold him the suppositories was actually Irvine Welsh the author of the book the film is based on. Habitual Heroin users end up with 'track' marks on their arms etc caused by the scarring from continually shooting up, the phrase coined for identifying users because of the marks is called 'Trainspotting'
The film title is actually a reference to a scene in the 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. He asks them if they are "trainspottin'".
It's called Trainspotting cause the needle marks on the arm are called tracks. Plus, for the writer of the novel, people used to shoot up at a train yard in his town. That's what I have gathered based on reading the book and interviews.
The author ( Irvine Welsh ) had a cameo in the film, he was the guy who sold Renton the suppositories.
You are both correct.
whilst not disagreeing with you, there is also that short chapter in the book where Begbee, Sick Boy and Renton are walking under a disused railway arch. An old tramp staggers out and asks for a tab, and then says "are you transporting lads" Begbee unleashes a rodent of violence on this old man. As they walk off Renton asks Sick Boy if that was Begbee's father "oh aye"
I can't believe you did this film - I love how you sometimes throw out a curve ball. this was so formative for me as a kid with a scottish dad with a drug problem lol. It's a hard watch but definitely a British classic - there is a trainspotting 2 years and years later with all of them but it's a mixed bag
I think Trainspotting 2 is a great movie.
T2 is one of my fave films
T2 is a perfect sequel
T2 is great
T2 is love T2 is life
This movie is exhausting, even if you're not in constant fear of the sight of needles. It's also why Danny Boyle is an incredibly famous director. Massively zeitgeist, particularly the music; it was huge in the UK on release, particularly amongst my generation, but much less well known in the wider world. Oh and by the way, Robert Carlyle's range amiright?
I was part of the D.A.R.E. generation and this film did more to keep me away from hard drugs than any program D.A.R.E. ever implemented.
Cult cult movie.Hate needles this movie cemented me never shooting anything in me.
It was also a big deal in the Netherlands. I guess it wasn't in the states.
Trainspotting did well in the States, too, but mostly among university students. Not a lot of traction with any of the other generations, or for that matter, Gen X people who didn't go to college.
One of the funniest films ever .
I wanted to see Aaron's reaction to this film and it did not disappoint. Aaron's hair by the end of the film is a mess 😄
@Jonathan Jones People have phobias, shocking, I know!
@Jonathan Jones think you do fella
@Jonathan Jones people that truly don't care, don't bother commenting.
@Jonathan Jones lol it’s not a gag that’s suppose to be for you’re entertainment
This will go down in the Blind Wave reaction hall of fame with The Room and the Star Wars Holiday special.
After seeing this reaction, I wish they would watch non-blockbusters more often. A tiny bit less nerd stuff and more other stuff. There are masterpieces everywhere. Just my opinion.
@@rolanddeschain6089 same here, i like seeing them watch more challenging stuff
@@rolanddeschain6089 what would you recommend? I need to watch more non blockbusters as well
@@playswithsquirrels4630 If I can give my recs: Amelie, *The Hunt*, Girlhood, Nightcrawler, *Silence*, *Moonlight*, *The Handmaiden*, *The Nice Guys*, God's Own Country, *Prospect, The Lighthouse, Portrait of a Lady on Fire*, Marriage Story, The Farewell, Pain and Glory, The Last Black Man in San Francisco, The Half of It, *Another Round*, His House, One Night in Miami, Minari, The Green Knight, *Everything Everywhere All The Time*, and *Mass*.
The ones in bold are my favourites.
@@shamsham1229 Interesting definition of *bold*
Aaron faces his greatest challenge yet.
After this he should be promoted to Blindwave Leader for a week or two
15:45 that might be one my favorite blind wave moments ever
“We called him mother superior on account of the length of his habit” love that line.
A huge cultural touchstone in U.K. culture in the 90’s. The poster, Born Slippy, Lust For Life, Dark Train, McGregor, Carlisle, Lee Miller. The sheer invention and vibrancy of the movie. Cool Britannia right there. An immense movie.
Check out Shallow Grave too.
As a Scottish guy I look forward to this. If you're wondering why the hell it's called Trainspotting, please watch the sequel. It's also brilliant.
Or even better, read the original book where it is first revealed.
As an ex addict I think this is one of the best films showing addiction. I love how in the beginning they show how good it can be "otherwise we wouldn't do it" but it gets so bad in every aspect of your life, people who weren't using before and started after you dying before you, Tommy's death is just so real. The od scene is good and makes it interesting, really oding tho is all blank screen. But I also loved the carpet take. Great reaction thank you
Choose life
8 years clean ♡
Danny Boyle's first movie Shallow Grave also starring Ewan McGregor is another really great film well worth watching
They should definitely recognise a certain Dr Who actor in that!
That’s a great movie too.
total classic
yes!!!! I think it’s nearly as good as Trainspotting.
Went to see shallow grave at the cinema knowing nothing about it, one of the best cinema experiences ever.
"The best movies make you wanna go make a movie" - wow. A perfect way to express how i feel about movies. Thank you for putting it into words ;)
I was still laughing from their reaction to the poop covered bed sheets. So when their reactions to Aaron mentioning the trains came I was rolling on the floor.
I remember when the casting for Phantom Menace was announced some so called journalists asked George Lucas if it was right to cast McGregor as Obi Wan because he played a drug addict! If some people can't tell reality from fantasy then they have no business watching movies...
"It's shite being Jedi!"
This movie is a cult classic and quite heavy for obvious reasons, the sequel isn’t as iconic and meaningful but genuinely one of the most well done sequels you’ll ever see so you should definitely react to it 👍. Maybe even more enjoyable than the original
Where the sequel shines is that 20 year gap where the audience is also feeling many of the same things the protagonists are, it absolutely nails that 40something ennui vibe, plus it is kinda sweet to see Mark and Simon ultimately reconcile.
@@SentinelGiga Yeah, that's the thing, to me the sequel just can't work as well without having lived the time between. It's the only way to _fully_ understand that questioning of whether life has passed you by. These guys are usually pretty astute so I bet they'll understand it but they just don't have enough miles on the clock to really _feel_ it yet.
(I suppose i'd still recommend it but it's definitely one of those films where it's even more true than usual that it's a _very_ different viewing experience at 25 than it is at 50)
2nd definitely worth a watch, not as heavy as the first which makes it more enjoyable and has a definite nostalgia kick to it
Aaron: "Maybe they'll only show the needles once."
Morgan Freeman: "I wish I could tell you that Andy fought the good fight, and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that - but prison is no fairy-tale world."
I fucking love that statement
Hands down one of the best British films ever made! Danny Boyle is such an amazing director! Would love for you guys to react to a highly under-rated sci-fi film by him called "Sunshine".
I love Sunshine so much! Would love to see them react to it.
This omg sunshine is an amazing film
Yes. First half of that film is some of the best sci fi on film. Shame about the rest
yeah sunshine is and always be dope
Heavily agreeing with this. *Sunshine* isn't perfect but it is beautiful and heroic and also the moment I realised "yeah, Chris Evans is going to be an INCREDIBLE Captain America".
The boys' desperation during the toilet scene was so utterly hilarious and Aaron's "son of a bitch" at 15:51 was so genuine :'D
This reaction is one for the ages.
One thing that wasn't really mentioned is how good the soundtrack is. Two albums ended up being released from the film and both are unbelievably good collections of music that fit into the culture that was sweeping the UK at the time!
Y'all need to watch the 2nd one. It has a totally different feel to it but it's so worth it.
I'm so disappointed by the lack of reactions on TH-cam to part 2, because I genuinely believe it's the perfect sequel
It's one of my favorite sequels of all time. Works in every single way.
I avoided watching it for a while because I was sure I'd be disappointed since Trainspotting is one of my favorite films. But it's really quite good.
@@championskyeterrier it's great, it just has a completely different feel from the first one.
@@oranmcclintock302 same
the Renton overdosing scene is probably one of my favorite sequences in film. the song playing over it is Perfect day by Lou reed. a song that most will probably think its about the perfect day with a significant other, but instead, many think its about heroin. Lou reed had his own problem with addiction and he wrote the song as describing the perfect day when hes with ''you'' aka heroin
you're going to reap just what you sew...
Lou Reed had already written a song called Heroin , about his addiction , which is on The Velvet Underground's debut album .
This is an absolute all time blind wave reaction. The reactions to the insane triply scenes were better than I could’ve hoped for, the train bit was hilarious, and Aaron’s hair by the end being an absolute mess. Love you guys!
Fun fact: The toilet scene was actually made using chocolate for the faeces, so it actually smelled lovely and Ewan McGregor had to really sell the feeling of it being disgusting.
Aaron's hair went through a journey like Eric's in the Room reaction
This has to be in the top 10 best blind wave reactions ever.
Hilarious 😂❤️
The toilet scene, the poop, the train, Aarons hair transformation, Eric vibing to eurodance... What an epic reaction ❤️
Nice one guys. Back in the 1990s, I was living not too far away from where Trainspotting is set and was attending a day hospital for people with addiction and other mental health issues. Part of the day hospital programme involved afternoon trips to the movies and we did actually go to see Trainspotting when it was originally released. That was a totally surreal moment - sitting in the cinema, watching events which - all those surrealist touches aside - was not too far removed from our own lives... By the way, Trainspotting 2 is one of those rare sequels that is better than the original. In fact, I think the sequel makes the original a better film than it previously was by adding depth and shade to the story and characters. So, yeah, I strongly recommend the sequel.
Another subscriber from Scotland. Your reaction for this was fantastic and really didn't expect you to cover it!
The film really launched the careers of so many actors that are still well known names now Robert Carlyle, Ewen Bremner, Johnny Lee Miller, Kevin McKidd to name a few. In the 90s this was probably one of the most iconic films to be made.
As a Scot it's great to see you guys watch this. If you can, you should watch the sequel too. And maybe watch another Scottish movie or TV show (Sunshine on Leith would be a good one - albeit with a main cast member who's not a good person) but you see George MacKay from 1917 and a great Scottish actor Peter Mullan.
Also, couldn't see if you figured out why you knew Spud but he's in Wonder Woman. The Scottish guy in Wonder Woman's group. Kelly MacDonald plays Diane - she was in Harry Potter and voiced Merida in Brave.
Shirley Henderson too (who played Moaning Myrtle in Harry Potter).
(and personally i'd suggest "The Angel's Share" over "Sunshine on Leith" but either/or)
The Guard is also a really good movie with a fair amount of international recognition
@@kirathekillernote2173 "The Guard" is indeed a great movie but it's Irish, not Scottish (maybe you're just recommending good movies ? In which case i'll throw "The Mitchells vs The Machines" into the mix - also good and also nothing to do with Scotland :).
Gregorys girl,That Sinking Feeling and Restless Natives are the best Scottish films!
@@anonymes2884 Yeah, got drunk accents mixed up. I believe 'Filth' should pass as a classic scot tale, amirite?
*Aaron:* "I haven't seen one train in this Movie!"
*Train:* "I'm about to end this guy's entire career."
Aaron: I haven’t seen ONE train in this movie!
The movie: N O T E D
Trainspotting has an absolutely loaded cast. McGregor, Robert Carlyle, Kelly MacDonald, and I've always been a fan of Jonny Lee Miller, who in my opinion does a much more interesting version of Sherlock Holmes in Elementary than Benedict Cumberbatch's version in Sherlock, even if Sherlock was a more interesting show as a whole.
Couldn't agree more re: Elementary
To Americans (like me) only McGregor is famous and the rest are just character actors.
@@help4343 check out some one of Robert Carlyle’s and Kelly Macdonald’s films.
I normally watch all the reactions in full length, but this film is so harrowing I skipped it this time. Doing it that way made some of this reaction absolutely hysterical. The gross bathroom freak out, your guys faces when he dove in the toilet pool, your reactions to the kitchen poop storm. Exceptional.
Props to Aaron !! he even looked straight into the tv in one of the needle scenes XD conquering your nightmares
One of the greatest movies from the 1990s (or even ever made in general)! Y'all also gotta watch Danny Boyle's directing debut ''Shallow Grave'' (1994), also with Ewan McGregor and '''28 Days Later'' (2002). Greetings from The Netherlands.
15:45 had me crying with laughter 😂😂
I remember this movie coming out. I was at college and we were just getting over our Pulp Fiction hangover and this came out. We all went to see it at the cinema and lost our sh*t at just how good/edgy this movie is. It blew us all away and cemented Danny Boyle as a director to watch. He has become one of my favourite directors working today. His style is so dynamic and unique. A classic movie with a fantastic soundtrack. What a fun reaction from you guys!
It's rare for films to have such a powerful creative vision of the director that comes across. I often wonder how close the brilliant opening scene is to what Boyle envisioned. Did he start with the Iggy Pop song and the "choose life" dialogue and then fill in what the characters would be doing? The overdose scene is also brilliant from start to finish, the quiet Lou Reed song is filled with a sense of regret and sorrow. It conveys how Renton's dealer will help him a little, but not go too far and get himself in trouble (such as calling the cab while the ambulance races by).
Fun fact, The guy with the ginger locks who yelled FOOTBALL was the voice of Flashpoint Batman and as a kid had a huge Batman poster he made himself on his bedroom wall.
Never expected this reaction but I’m so happy. Love from Scotland guys 🏴
This was, hands down, the most enjoyable movie reaction I've ever seen ..and I'm only at the first train part. BRAVO! All of you! But especially the dude on the right! BRAVO, sirs!
If I remember correctly the bathroom was covered in chocolate and it was described as smelling overly sweet
Lads, Jacko from Ireland here, I've loved all your reactions for years, from the GOT reaction onwards, the Calvin Red Wedding was the straw that broke the camels back for me. Delighted youse loved Trainspotting. I have always had 3 movies as cultural milestones in my film viewing life, the ones I call my favuorite movies and they all come out within 3 years of each other. One is American - Pulp Fiction, another is British - Trainspotting and the other is Irish - The Commitments, give it go if you fancy it, early 90s Alan Parker movie, I reckon youse'll like it.
BEST REACTION EVER. What an instant classic, this is my favorite reaction of Blind Wave. The toilet scene and the train scene was epic, the editing was f-ing great with Aaron squirming, the beat bopping music and the countless zoom-ins. Loved every moment of it.
This movie needs to be played at School to show kids not to use drugs like that. I watched it over20 years ago and I still memeber it pretty vividly.
This and Requiem for a Dream!
I've sat in the seat that Begbie threw the pint glass from. It was filmed in a wee run-down pub near the Byers Road in Glasgow. My bf took a photo on my ancient flip phone and the photo was lost when the phone died 😭 Ah, 2007
I was such a big trainspotting fan that I went to Edinburgh to do my own little tour of a bunch of the locations, ended up falling in love with the city and moved there. People look very confused when they ask why I decided to move and this film is my answer.
Yep, your crazy girl lol.
I've adored this film my whole life. The launching of Danny Boyle and this cast into stardom. The visual choices. The soundtrack. The deep meaning behind it all.
It's a masterpiece. I must of seen it almost 100 times.
But never ever ever did I ever see it and think, I might move to Edinburgh.
I hope it's all worked out for you.
The book is SO MUCH more intense because it delves way more into each character. I became obsessed with Ewan after this movie.
I love the book too. There is an entire collection of novels with these characters - Glue, Porno - and they make cameos in almost all of his novels
@@TheIronDuke9 Irvine Welsh is twisted, but in a good way 🙂 Have you read Maribou Stork Nightmares? I thought I was having a stroke reading that.
@@funkadesiac No I think that is the only one I haven't read but I had a similar reaction to Filth
31:01 the bald guy who went into the bathroom to check it was the actor Keith Allen, Lily Allen (the singer) and Alfie Allen’s (Greyjoy/Reek in Game Of Thrones) dad
Never thought you guys would see a little more mature movies and not so mainstream ones. Hope you like it, is one of my all time favorites!
16:14 Even Obi Wan is laughing his ass off
That “no trains” comment has made my year. 😂
15:46
FUN FACT! In britain (and the world actually) Oasis (i really hope you know them) is one of the biggest bands in the history of rock music, and they were invited to do the soundtrack of this movie, but the band declined the gig because they thought the movie was about trains and transport geeks!
Imagine the surprise after seeing the movie for the first time! Especially for Noel lol!
Born slippy was the perfect song
@@dewit4176 no one is complaining
@@dewit4176 born slippy defines the 90's to me..
Before watching your reaction to this movie (that I saw intheatre back when), I urge you to see Trainspotting 2, which was released some 20 years later, and that's also 20 years later in the story, with the same cast. One of those sequels that is as good as the original. I highly recommend it!
My Dad sat next to the person who made the poster for Trainspotting in school. It was in science apparently. Pretty cool since it is an iconic poster.
8:20 “It’s like the entrance to the Ministry of Magic.”
Jesus Eric, you are just too pure for this world lol!
I lived in Edinburgh when this movie was being shot and this was a powerful movie at the time. Danny Boyle at his finest and for me Ewan McGregor's best work!
The sequel is also GREAT. Please react to Trainspotting 2 too.
Yes! I enjoyed the second one.
Yes, it's really great and underated, deserves more credit as a sequel
This movie was quite a trip to watch. Props to Aaron for surviving 😆😆
Was this your first time watching it too?
@@RedDevil_Joe Yep, first time
@@hirvale have you seen the sequel yet? It was very well done
@@RedDevil_Joe I actually almost watched the sequel in 2017 not realizing there was a part one. I found its start too dim and didn't continue. But now I'm definitely more interested
@@hirvale yeah, don’t get me wrong it doesn’t match the intensity and heavyness of this, and I think it would have been foolish of them to try that. But it’s a very realistic and thoughtful story for these characters
Spud and Renton were also in Black Hawk Down together, but pretty much every actor is in Black Hawk Down!
This is by far the best reaction video ever thanks to Aaron 😂😂😂
Very surprised none of you had seen this! Is definitely a total classic, and a must-watch for every Ewan fan.
That toilet scene and the screams had me crying 🤣
I spent 7 years living this life. When I was young I used to think this was the coolest movie ever. Now days I occasionally come back to it just to remind myself why I got clean lmao I still feel sick every time I see him withdrawing.
He wasn’t going to stab him, he was going to “chib” him. Was a big problem in Scotland in the 80s and 90s. You cut their cheeks, there’s a fairly well knows Scottish actor with chib scars, in fact I think his sons of anarchy character was called chibs because of it.
That's right, the actor is Tommy Flanagan.
He was in Bravehart. Tommy Flanagan is such a baby!
Chib can also mean stab
Tomato/Tomatoe
To Chib someone is to stab them.
@@leonrussell9607 my thoughts as well, facial cutting was called slashing in my day. Chibbing is just knifing in general as chib is defined as a knife
This classic movie was a massive deal at the time, which was part of a cultural revolution movement in UK among Gen X. You should also check out Danny Boyle's breakthrough movie Shallow Grave, which also stars Ewan McGregor along with former Doctor Who great Christopher Eccleston and Kerry Fox. It's a brilliant really dark comedy/thriller :-)
One of my favorite movies. So tragic and dark. The dark humor works so well to show the absolute state of degradation. The sequel to this movie is absolutely amazing and one of my favorite sequels ever made.
"I haven't seen one train in this movie"
Train: "hold my train"
I remember I watched this movie shortly before episode one, and the toilet scene was printed in my mind.... then in EP1 in the sea of Naboo there is a very similar shot when obi one dives to the gungan city... I was damn he's still looking for the pills!!!
Although Im only 24 years old and had my fair share of drugs this is my favourite movie of all time. The way it portrays addiction is just amazing. Im thankful my favourite crew reacted to it
Trivia: Mikey Forrester, the skeevy dealer in the Clash T-shirt who gives Renton the opium suppositories, is played by Irvine Welsh, the author of Trainspotting.
Danny Boyle is an incredible filmmaker.
Probably best known for Slumdog Millionaire
personal favorites are Shallow Grave, 28 Days Later and Sunshine (latter is one of my all-time fav sci-fi movies).
I genuinely dont think ive ever heard Eric laugh this much in any reaction they have done, and ive seen thousands of hours of these boys.
16:15 You can’t unsee this Obi-Wan’s face.
This might be my favourite movie for the crews reaction so far
the soundtrack is incredible, the story unreal, the second part is amazing too. I had somehow blocked the toilet scene, but really don't appreciate it being back top of my mind. Aaron's hair through this is a whole vibe.
It is one of the most shocking, gruesome, funny and clever scenes ever filmed imo
25:15-25:30 was iconic. thank you
Someone needs to edit Eric's shoulder rolling with that cat that wiggles gif
@@insertgenericusernamehere2402 I think we would all like that. 😂
The sequel T2: Trainspotting is also a great movie and would be an easier watch for people with needle phobias. Another film based of a novel by Irvine Welsh is "Filth" with James McAvoy, which is one of my favourite movies. I think of it like a Scottish Othello 😂
I rented the novel, opened it, sighed, and paid for the audiobook. «The sweat wis lashing oafay Sick Boy; he wis trembling. Ah wis jist sitting thair, focusing oan the telly, tryin no tae notice the ****. He wis bringing me doon.»
I swear I've envied languages that have mutually intelligible sister-languages because I wanna know what that's like. I watched my French friend listen to my Mauritius friend speak Creole and he was amazed like he was hearing a magic trick. "ahhhh how is it possible? I understand but nothing is similar!!"
Well. then I listened to Trainspotting. Narration varies by character; there's even one chapter that's not in Scots, it's in English with a Scottish accent. unlike other audiobooks, I couldn't multitask. Gone Girl I listened to while driving. But Trainspotting I had to sit there and actively listen, like a confused husky tilting its head from side to side. But I understood almost all of it.
But that one guy who made his living begging disguised as a war vet..I have no clue wtf he said. Did he have kids? I think he mentioned bairns all the time. I have no idea.
Definitely watch the sequel. They even give some childhood flashbacks to shed light on why Renton and Begby are even mates.
Would love to see you guys react to the sequel at some point as well. While not as iconic as the first one, it's still an amazing film 👍
This movie is great, I started to watch your reaction on this because of the toilet scene. Your screams had me in stitches. I felt the exact same way first time I watched it as a teenager.
Moulin rouge next?
Oh, and ”magic comes with a price”…I understood that reference! 🙋🏽♀️
This is possibly the funniest reaction I have seen on TH-cam. Despite the fact that it was so harrowing too. Absolute classic of cinema. I studied this in film studies, pretty sure I could quote the whole thing.
I've seen this dozens of times since it came out. Still hits all the feels.
hahahahaha!!! when you started screaming during the toilet scene, honestly haven't laughed like that in a while! Subscribed
“ I haven’t seen one train in this movie” ! …. Gotta be the greatest reaction moment this year 😂
Back when Trainspotting was still in the theatres and I had just watched it, I had a long conversation with the former director-general of the BBC about it (Baron Birt, although at the time he was a Knight, not a Baron). I didn't actually know at the time that he was involved with the BBC at all, though, because to me he was just my dad's old college buddy who was visiting from England, so I thought it was kind of weird that this old guy (compared to me at the time) knew so much about the movie and was so enthusiastic about how good the filmmaking was, despite being so far off from the target demographic. When I found out he was director-general of the BBC, though, it suddenly made sense lol
Great reaction 🏴, you should watch the sequel. ALSO Irvine Welsh (who wrote the play/book) is the guy who gives him the lacsatives at the start before the toilet.
