Trainspotting as a Success
Trainspotting is a drama/fantasy film directed by Danny Boyle. Famous
actors included Ewan McGregor, who plays Renton, a Scottish junkie who
wastes his life by having his life evolve around drugs until he gets
sent to court and then hospital; he then decides to clean up his act
and clean up.
The film starts off with Renton (McGregor) running through the street
with friends, he explains his life and friends. We get the impression
from him he thinks drugs are good and he doesn’t care about anything
else apart from having a good time.
Teenager and young males who are middle-lower class are most likely to
watch this film as some people may be able to relate to this film
especially drug users who are now clean. Trainspotting attracts a
niche audience rather than a mass audience because people may not want
to watch a film which involves awful material such as drugs, sex and
abuse as this may offend people. It is more aimed at audiences who are
able to select and reject the information given; active audiences.
The typical generic conventions of the place where Renton is staying
is a council house which is messy, walls falling apart, mould,
mattresses of floor, tatty clothes and old television and sofa. This
tells us that he is lower class and a typical drug user. We also get
the impression like they are squatters from the state of the house and
all the people living in there.
The narrative in the film is non linear and has a montage sequence, by
doing this it keeps us interested because it isn’t straight forward
like most films. We are also put in different situations such as when
Renton takes drugs but then we are put in the situation when Renton is
off drugs so by being put in different situations we are kept
interested and involved in the film.
The film is very art house as it has many scenes which are unreal but
we know that it is and are able to accept this.
The sounds and music in this film are very realistic, and to the point. There is not anything abstract or out of place, and everything is very appropriate. The sound effects in the film are diegetic (sounds that the actors can hear), with the score being nondiegetic (sounds that the actors cannot hear). The film falls under the category of realism, with no stylizing or manipulation of images and sounds.
In one particular scene, director was truly a great one, featuring special focus on his dad life and the Colorado River. It was so cool to highlights of the movie by one of his favorite poem written by his dad when he was born, the Important Place. Also, this film was a good length, not excessively long but long enough to tell the story. This is really important today there were no such unwanted scene in the film, which literary the most closely and accurately delivered. In my opinion, this film is forced to possess the characters of a great aspect, and turns to make for quite the adventurous. There was no special character encounter rather than his dad, learned something from the secret Colorado River. Another great aspect of the film was the special footage that were introduce in this film was an enjoyable aspect to be a good documentary film, and that’s how this film is different from the rest.
Baz Luhrmann has done this film in a unique and brilliant way, with help of the above, and of course a great loved story as a base.
With many different genres and types of filmmaking, it can result in a large variety of stories and conflicts. Nevertheless, film has always brought people together as a society. If there is one thing everyone can notice about films is the achievement in style and directing. The three directors talked about in this paper are the most successful at delivering a breathtaking style and direction to their films. Baz Luhrmann, Wes Anderson, and Martin Scorsese have produced and directed films over decades and each film as impacted not only the United States but worldwide. With the unmistakable trademarks that each director has, it is very easy to feel sucked into the world in which they are shaping around you and the story. Because of these three directors, the film world and industry has been revolutionized for many centuries to come.
To begin, the idea of two realisms is first illustrated in the opening sequence of the film and continues throughout the length of the story. For example, the neighborhood shown in the film is very staged, with warm and soft lighting, providing a calm, serene feeling.

Martin Scorsese truly captures the film with his evocative directing where he often use slow-mo camera shots and dark, eye-wielding camera angles to capture the decay of New York City. Scorsese is in top form with his directing where he makes the camera use as a viewpoint of Bickle¡¯s character or as a third party watching Bickle¡¯s descent into paranoia and madness. Even with the film¡¯s final act whe...

Trainspotting presents an ostensible image of fractured society. The 1996 film opens, famously, with a series of postulated choicesvariables, essentially, in the delineation of identity and opposition. Significant here is the tone in which these options are deliveredit might be considered the rhetorical voice of society, a playful exposition of the pressure placed on individuals to make the "correct" choices, to conform to expectation.
Due to the film’s quality and interest it became an award winning film. The film had excellent sound effects such as the battle scenes. The image quality was also outstanding; it used many different angles to depict the actor to make you feel involved in the scenes. In the action scenes the most common viewpoint used was a close up shot which allows the audience to see and feel the intensity of the scene.
