I love this movie so much because it’s a rare sequel that recognises it’s been far too long to do the same thing again. It’s one that recognises it’s age, and accepts it. It’s one that grew up with us.
very good take, thanks man. I've watched the first in my early twenties then the T2 in my mid thirties and it hit me like a truck and shook me to my core: the aging, the fading enthusiasm for life, the lost opportunities, the fucking bad habits. I have never experienced a movie sequel like that and your kind take explains it the best. thanks again mate
Couldn’t have said it better myself. It really does recognize and show that it’s just been too long. Too many things have happened since, and time is rarely friendly. But, at least Spud got to reclaim pictures of his memories
Usually when there's such a long gap between sequels they'll make a lot of "it's been so long" jokes which sometimes works but often get overused. My favorite one that works is in the fourth Indiana Jones movie when he tries using his whip to swing onto a truck and misses.
Or if it is, it’s not included in the song released on the album. This is another beautiful take on the opening chords of Born Slippy that recurs throughout the movie. Love it.
Agreed. It's also quite hopeful because it's the impetus that gets Spud to start writing his memories down, which eventually leads him to write the Trainspotting book, thus closing the loop between the book and the film. It's genius.
this makes me think about all of the moments that flash back through all of our heads at some point or another. How we wish we could all go back and change that one thing or at least relive it.
I must have watched this clip 40 times and it still takes me back to my 20's when the first film was out in '96. That music slowed down in this clip is haunting, waking up every memory of when I was in my prime and how I wished I could go back..... There aren't many films/music that can do that but thank you Irvine Walsh for writing and Danny Boyle for directing and creating for what I can see in the comments such a mixed emotional response. That is truly a gift.
This perfectly captures the life of an addict. While you desperately chase the addiction, years will go by and you'll stay the exact same person. No progress, nothing gained.
Which leads him to start writing it down. He finally finds something to channel it into as Renton was suggesting earlier in the film. In his suicide note he says he only ever made this world ugly, but once he starts writing down the past, he turns that ugliness into something beautiful.
When ive watch this it makes me remember , what feels like a previous life of mine . Im now living a completely diffrent life without many of my childhood friends minus the drugs and the carefree lifestyle we once lived Feels like a age ago crazy times but also some amazing memories
I also can't keep myself from reminiscing about old memories, terrified that I'm probably the only one who remember them. If I were to leave, it would be as if they never happened in the first place, both the good and the bad. Gone
M8 I feel like I go through what spuds character goes through, I reminisce on the past and all the good times and out of all my old buddies I’m probably the only one who thinks of those times. Don’t get me wrong I have a good job, partner etc but still find myself empty.
Same. Minus the job (they come and go nowadays, but better than before). Anyway, I’m the last of my friends. The last of “The boys”. We grew up in this era, and slightly before it. Sadly, I’m the only one left from our group. So I may go with (new) friends and acquaintances to some hangout… but it’s never the same. I think about this clip and therefore the song (especially the acoustic version) more often than I’d like. It’s not some set of golden memories (anymore). Not when you’re the last one. 😔
This scene hits me a lot. I remember all the good times with my friends in our neighbourhood. Some have passed away. I think about those times a lot. I wish they were still around. I think about them a lot, almost every day. There’s a time in life where you wish you could go back in time and relive those times. For those who have passed. I miss every single one of them and wish they were here. Time passes and I still wish I could go back in time!
Spud is like a human version of a stray puppy. He's in shit state, but he's a sweetheart - nicer than any of his mates - and you can trll that life has kicked the shit out of him.
I was doing a grad program in Edinburgh the summer T2 was being shot - I was excited about it since I grew up in a small town where nothing like this happened so I kept tabs on where filming was taking place but I kept missing out on seeing filming (still sad I missed seeing Ewan film b/c he was one of my first celeb crushes growing up)... however one day I saw very recent tweets about filming happening nearby on Calton Road (I'd only seen the original movie once at that point but I remembered the street from the opening of the first movie) and I made a beeline to the site! Sure enough, I was able to watch them film this scene next to the Black Bull tavern and it was super cool seeing the doubles recreate that chase w/ Ewen Bremner looking on and even cooler that Danny Boyle himself was there as well (Slumdog Millionaire is one of my favorite films) - it's still so cool seeing something in a big movie that I got to see in person! Every time I see this scene or clips from this movie, it brings me back to that period of my life which was one of the best years of my life :D
Time really does fly by without even noticing it,I think we have all relived a certain time or times in our heads and it's made us laugh or even emotionally it's the way life is,but memories are special things to hold on to the time might have been and gone but nobody can take memories away from you.
Especially during in this current eased lockdown of the Coronavirus Pandemic! Our lives have surely been filled with more age regression since it began last year than ever beforehand, I’m all for nostalgic memories but missing people who I love being around as friends has been tough for me so far, but I know soon, I’ll be reunited with them when this pandemic finally decides to blow over hopefully soon after when I get fully vaccinated!
Poor Spud. This really does show you that addiction is something that is not easy to beat. The loveable funny sweet twentysomething guy who was so full of energy and optimism for life is now a broken sad man who has no idea what to do in life.
I suspect I am not the only person who was deeply moved by this sequence, which was the best part of the whole film. Spud was the sort of happy go lucky member of the gang in the first film, and definitely the one I routed for. Of course he will have happy memories of his antics, but real sadness too at a life that has been wasted.
Not necessarily wasted; by calling his book of memories "Trainspotting", I take that to imply that they would eventually be published and Spud becomes a successful author ❤
@@BaileysMariner yeah good point. In the long run it could be the making of him. Just early in the film, he seems such a tragic character. I love these stories.
Watching Spud try to find some kind of inspiration and meaning, especially while having a child he can't see, makes me want to be better. I always want to be able to see my child, and I don't ever want to lose what I have to vices or bad decisions.
I love how this movie deals with the consequences of their choices when they were younger, they’ve grown up and nicknames aren’t a thing anymore. Favourite quote “you’re a tourist in your own youth”. At the end of the day, aren’t we all.
The irony of this clip about Spud is that in an age of HD, 4K and even 8K now, this upload resolution is so low, it looks like it's been filmed with a potato.
Now I'm cleaning up and I'm moving on, going straight and choosing life. I'm looking forward to it already. I'm gonna be just like you. The job, the family, the fucking big television. The washing machine, the car, the compact disc and electric tin opener, good health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, mortgage, starter home, leisure wear, luggage, three piece suite, DIY, game shows, junk food, children, walks in the park, nine to five, good at golf, washing the car, choice of sweaters, family Christmas, indexed pension, tax exemption, clearing gutters, getting by, looking ahead, the day you die."
I love how some people in the comments are like “I watched the original in my 20s and it profoundly changed me” and I’m just sitting here thinking how my parents let me watch it at 9 years old. lol

It's meta in that regard - one of its themes is the impossibility of recapturing the past. Such a great film.
very good take, thanks man.

Fantastic comment totally agree trying to make 45 plus men to act 21 would be ridiculous

The Slow Slippy kicking in alone could reduce me to tears
This is not Slow Slippy.
Or if it is, it’s not included in the song released on the album. This is another beautiful take on the opening chords of Born Slippy that recurs throughout the movie. Love it.
The score sent shivers up my spine
It basically did when I saw this in the theater.
slow slippy is immense and thought provoking whether intentional or not you feel nostalgic hearing it
I keep coming back to this scene and it never gets any less emotional. It's like a mourning of all the times gone past and people we lost
Same, I miss so much from my past. Occasionally life will throw up reminders and the feeling will come back briefly, then it's gone again.
Agreed. It's also quite hopeful because it's the impetus that gets Spud to start writing his memories down, which eventually leads him to write the Trainspotting book, thus closing the loop between the book and the film. It's genius.
It’s melancholy in its depressive overtones. Yet somehow, it’s almost relieving. It’s a most interesting end to an even more interesting time.
One of my favourite moments of any film. Loved T2 and the way it reminded us all of the importance of our past.
If Nostalgia was a song
U stole comment i was about to write :)
If Nostalgia was a girl, she'd be mi amiga
I like that look Gail gives him 0:58..like, “ I love you but please just get clean & stay clean”..the John Menzies bag is a nice nostalgia moment too
this makes me think about all of the moments that flash back through all of our heads at some point or another. How we wish we could all go back and change that one thing or at least relive it.
mhm.
“some nights I wish I could go back in life. not to change shit, but to feel a few things twice.”
I must have watched this clip 40 times and it still takes me back to my 20's when the first film was out in '96. That music slowed down in this clip is haunting, waking up every memory of when I was in my prime and how I wished I could go back.....

That is truly a gift.
When this bit came on in the cinema and the song you could hear loads of people say ahhh man and see the smiles on there faces, including me
One of the most memorable cinema experiences of my life.
I remember a lot of guys in the theater going “ahh, no dude. That’s… GD.. that’s sad dude”. Some guys were legit tearing up. I was too.
This perfectly captures the life of an addict. While you desperately chase the addiction, years will go by and you'll stay the exact same person. No progress, nothing gained.

I’m so glad they had a small segment of born slippy in the second film

Same mate, I grew up in the 90’s and still think 1997 is 10 years ago. Loving life now but to go back and relive some of those times would be special.

I hear you. I’m the last of our “group”. The last of “the boys”. This scene REALLY drove into meme. Especially this ultra slow Born Slippy bit. 😢
Makes me beyond proud to be from Scotland 🏴🖤
What does?
Beautiful country, beautiful people ❤️
All the heroin addicts and abject poverty? So proud.
“It’s shite being Scottish” etc. 🙂
No one knows the heartstrings like Danny Boyle. Decade on from the London 2012 and I still listen to that soundtrack.
Spud is like a human version of a stray puppy. He's in shit state, but he's a sweetheart - nicer than any of his mates - and you can trll that life has kicked the shit out of him.
thank you for uploading this, amazing and highly emotional, makes you wonder what could have been

Definitely 😊
Totally agree wish a could rewind time 😢😢😢😢😢
You made my point
dementia or alzheimer sure can...
This is a graceful punch to the gut. Just sitting there going “damn”

The collective intake of breath in the cinema when that synth dropped was crazy. Like everyone just went oooofffffff
Whata scene man, 2 favourite movies ever made pure nostalgia
Transported straight back to 1997-where has the time gone. Emotional tune for a few 😢
This scene perfectly encapsulates the feeling of nostalgia and the premise of the movie without it being corny af
My heart 💔
Watching Spud try to find some kind of inspiration and meaning, especially while having a child he can't see, makes me want to be better. I always want to be able to see my child, and I don't ever want to lose what I have to vices or bad decisions.
Love this scene and always find myself drawn to it from time to time.
It's not memories it's PTSD.
From all my generation, a message from México, CHOOSE LIFE, FUCKING PLEASE, CHOOSE LIFE!
Well said pal.
Hopefully your country can beat it’s demons, too much misery and pain being caused by drugs and greed.
From Scotland 🏴
God I feel this.
I love how this movie deals with the consequences of their choices when they were younger, they’ve grown up and nicknames aren’t a thing anymore. Favourite quote “you’re a tourist in your own youth”. At the end of the day, aren’t we all.
this reminded me of seeing trainspotting for the first time and it reminded me of being a teen again such happy feelings
On a recent trip to Edinburgh I visited these steps much to the despair of the mrs but I felt it had to be done. The castle was nice too!
Man that hits close to my reality at points. Life can be rough, especially if youve got a good sincere junk habit.
We've all been there,aye.
gets me every time
This is very underrated Danny’s Sequel happens to be my fav
Ima have flashbacks like this when I’m older
Deja vu

Unreal
What do you mean
Anybody knows where I can find this beautiful piece of music? Obviously it’s a nod to Born Slippy, but it’s not Slow Slippy from the soundtrack.
Here’s one I found th-cam.com/video/SeFqO27RXBc/w-d-xo.html
@@blairm383 thanks! :-)
have you found?
@@elvinzeynall6986 no, not on any other platform than here. 😕

Anyone know if this slowed down version of Born Slippy exists for real?
Yes it does... Someone made a 1 hour version: very slow slippy (on youtube)

It's a recreation of the opening chords from Born Slippy by Underworld, which featured heavily in the first movie.
Very slow slippy... You can find it on yt

that was sooooo deep and too short
One of the best scenes in cinema
