Choose Life…
Have you guys ever came across this movie called; TRAINSPOTTING before? It’s a critical acclaim cult classic based on a 1993 novel with the same title by Irvine Welsh. The movie revolves around an anti-hero character, Mark Renton (played by Ewan McGregor) journey as a heroin addict. After a series of unfortunate events, Renton tries to get off the bad habits and the people surrounding it.
I like the narrating sequence of Renton, esspecially at the start and at the end of the movie. Lets share…
START
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 openersChoose good health, low colestrol and dental insurance
Choose fixed-interest mortgage payments
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 the fuck you are on a Sunday morning
Choose sitting on that couch watching mind numbing, spirit crushing game shows
Stuffing fucking junk food into your mouthChoose rotting away at the end of it all
Pissing your life in a misserable home;
Nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats that you’ve spawned to replace yourself
Choose your future
Choose lifeBut why would I want to do a thing like that?
I choose not to choose life
I choose something else
And the reasons?
There are no reasons
Who needs reason when you got heroin?
END
So why did I do it?
I could offer a million answer, all false.
The truth is that I’m a bad person
But that’s gonna change
I’m going to change
This is the last of that sort of thing
Now I’m cleaning up, and I’m moving on
Going straiht and choosing life
I’m looking forward to it already
I’m gonna be just like youThe job, the family, the fucking big television
The washing machine, the car, the compact disc and electrical tin opener
Good health, low colestrol, dental insurance
Mortgage, starter home, leisure wear, luggage, three piece suit
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 position, tax exemption, clearing guttersGetting by, looking ahead,
The day you die.
Tomorrow then…
