Trainspotting (1996)
Location: University Center 212
Seen Before: Yes
Rating: 5.0
Trainspotting is an explosively wonderful and exciting film. I feel like at a time that was becoming really hammered down with Tarantino rip-offs and Gen-X slackers, this movie came to the US and reminded us what it takes to make an audience laugh and feel horror in a truely original way.
It's a testament to the filmmakers and actors that, in the way that this story is constructed (feeling very much like a novel--rightly so, of course), the film always keeps your attention and never lags.
Every viewing of this is a repeated fresh breath of air.

For what class did you watch both TRAINSPOTTING and A SIMPLE PLAN?? Or am I wrong?
No no it was for my Narrative Structure of Film class where we learn how films are broken down into [usually] 8 seperate sequences. Great class & teacher. "Trainspotting" is maybe a bit more difficult to break down because of the way the story is told (and the VO), but it was a good exercise.
