Trainspotting

Made in 1996

Directed by Danny Boyle

Set in Edinburgh
Representation of youth

• Introduces the characters
• Established setting
• Harsh comedy/British humour/Irony
• Song - upbeat (comedy)
• Names of characters (comic)
• Mood of film I thought was manic/fun but in a negative way.

The lighting in the film is consistantly dull and bleak. A scene shows our main character in a dark room but he still has a shadow with makes him look evil/sinister.

• Football is an improtant part of our culture
• Symbol is an icon
• Teen mums and smoking watching the football, this shows the economic decline.
• Stereotypes - men playing the football, girls watching, probably would never be the other way around.
