Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family, Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers.
Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends.
Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit-crushing ga me shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your futu re. Choose life.But who would I want to do a thing like that?I chose not to choose life: I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who need reasons when you've got heroin?People think it's all about misery and desperation and death and all that shite, which is not to be ignored, but what they forget -
is the pleasure of it. Otherwise we wouldn't do it. After all, we're not xxxxing stupid. At least, we're not that fucking stupid. . .

I've heard a lot about trainspotting,
even in Chinese literature.
So this is what it's about.
Looks cool.
I think movies about teenagers wandering about the outer rims of society are particularly impactful, even resonating - Cuz I can feel that same anger in me too. But I just choose to live like the majority.
"猜火车"本是一种游戏，指无所事事的人在火车经过的地方，即兴打赌猜测下一班火车经过的时刻和目的地，借此打发时间。影片以此为名意义深远，当火车狂啸过站时，不知要将主人公们的命运载往何方。影片呈现给观众的是苏格兰爱丁堡文化的一个最真实的面貌，青少年们或许会在其中获得共鸣，并能从中确定自己存在的位置。影片所反映的社会现实，以及它所流露出的冷漠、无政府状态、非主流群落对主流社会的抵制与反抗，给了在常态社会中生活的人们极强的冲击。Whateverrr
