Has anyone even bothered to read Irvin Welsh's "Trainspotting" or "Porno"???

Trainspotting was probably the most anti-drug book (and even movie) that I've ever seen. The movie did not condone drug use - it showed a picture of what it looks like.

The book was not nearly as "funny" as the movie. Reading some of the scenes was like taking a punch to the gut. Very cool book, if you can get past an occasional Sconglish (Scottish English) style of writing and slang.

Example: gunnae = going to
chuffed = broke
bairn = baby

and other words. there was actually a mini-dictionary at the back of the book.

Porno - is a part 2, trainspotting 10 years down the road. A lot more funnier and It's definitely deserving of being made into a movie.

The soundtrack to the movie was classic and definitely added to the overall flavor. If you want to experience the actual impact of the message, I would suggest reading the book first, as the movie takes away from the imagery of the book.

BTW, I remember seing a movie and then only 2 weeks later hearing "Born Slippy" played live in Twilo by PvD - I will never forget that moment. Place went insane and I still get chills down my spine everytime I think about it.

loved the movie.. i love the ending too when he goes clean.. most drug movies always end badly but it ended with hope and thats hard for junkies to end on a good note lol..

It didn't explicitly condone drug use, but it didn't condemn it either. I disn't see the book or the mocie as being very anit or pro drugs. It objectively portrayed the life of a heroin junkie. It portrayed facts that almost everyone on both sides of the drug debate know. I don't think there was an anti-drug message in the book or the movie at all.

To tell you the truth, though it was quite graphic and visceral, it didn't shock me with the facts it presented. I can imagine someone that led quite a sheltered existance finding it very shocking.
