ITT: What the fuck were they thinking?

Then why didn't you like this one? It was just like the first movie.

I don't believe even you believe that claim you just made

I think that the idea was that those who saw the film or read the book in their teens and twenties would want to recapture a bit of lost youth.
The filmmakers likely wanted the audience, now likely thirty to fifty, to resonate with the dashed hopes and reality of age.
Plus the Irvine Welsh insert.

I mean in spirit, it is really just a different plot in the same setting but in new locations.
Funny how you're so quick to shit on the movie without explaining how its supposed to be bad.

If you watch this movie and think that it's actually shit (literally nobody cares if you have a lukewarm opinion of it), then you're probably missing the entirety of the point.

It's a perfect thematic fit and I have no idea how to explain if it you don't get it.

>that scene where they shoot up heroin and then it never gets brought up again

oh no no no no

It was good for a sequel.

Better than the original unironically

Its called realism, spaz

what was the point of them shooting up heroin
what was the point of the european girl
what was the point of diane's character coming back for two minutes before never being seen again
what was the point of making a sequel nobody asked for
what's your fucking problem man

In your own words, can you explain what were the themes of it and how it connected to the original movie?

>what was the point of them shooting up heroin
Because they're heroin addicts you fucking mong.
>what was the point of the european girl
Watch the movie and actually pay attention next time. They explained her.
>what was the point of diane's character coming back for two minutes before never being seen again
To show the duality of mankind across genders.
>what was the point of making a sequel nobody asked for
Irvine Welsh, creator of the original books which the movies are based on, did.
>what's your fucking problem man
He's sane and not an autistic ADHD-riddled clown like you. I wish that I could inject you with a lethal dose of fentanyl.

i'm not going to write a essay explaining why i think trainspotting 2 is shit you nerd, i know it's about junkies aging and it's supposed to be "le depressing and relatable" but it's trash compared to trainspotting 1 and it goes absolutely nowhere half the time. that's it.
danny boyle just needed another paycheck, notice how no one outside of Yea Forums even remembers that trainspotting had a sequel

>make a movie in the 90s that has some actual style and energy to it
>make an unnecessary sequel 20 years later with no style, no energy, because that's just like real life man, life sucks don't you get it
Fuck movies. The original drove home its message much better while also not being dull as shit.

What was the message of the original?

>What was the message of the original?
To be yourself even if other people don't want you to.

>i know it's about junkies aging and it's supposed to be "le depressing and relatable"
>i know
Do you even know what the words "theme" and "meaning" are?

This was never going to be a paycheck for him, it had low budget and was never marketed as a big money maker.

If your point is still "I don't understand how these pieces fit together and what they mean", then your criticism is just bad, which sucks, because there's plenty of criticism to be had.

I would bet you don't get what the original means either beyond "lol shit drug addicts with funny accents"

Drug addicts have no friends

>OP didn't get Trainspotting or T2 Trainspotting
Literally can't imagine being a bigger brainlet

>makes a thread looking for a circlejerk
>gets rightfully called out for being a retard'

I love it

trainspotting 2 is a bad movie

Trainspotting is a masterpiece and I don't ever want to see the sequel!!!FACT!!!

This movie was great, when I was young I just wanted to fuck older chicks but now I'm an old fuck I crave the younger flesh.

Ahhhhhh life makes a monkey of us all, except for me, I got money and young bitches be easy

Just how bad is this piece of shit? I've been avoiding it on the premise alone.

It was actually good. Don't listen to op.

Exactly. And the movie did it really well. It didn't shy away from the nostalgia factor--it made it the core of the film.

Boyle was done after Sunshine. Last good movie.

All boomer directors hit the wall at about 60-ish years old. But because they are a big name in the industry, they will always have money thrown at them to keep going. So they make shit like Trainspotting 2.

I have no idea. Utterly forgetable film.

>innit
Scots don't say that, it's a mockney cunt thing.

choose cashgrab

Scotland is shite and the only way to endure having to live there is being off your tits on heroin and bevvie.

choose life

all downhill after he made "the beach

why did they call it T2?

PORNO sounds much better

it's a 1½ hour long flashback.
The new story is pretty shit. The only good parts are the few bits they actually took from the book.
Begbie is not a completely unlikable cunt.

The first movie was good. This was shit because they decided not to do the second book, instead borrow one or two scenes and create their own script. Which was atrocious.

Trainspotting 2: The Quest For More Money

>can't refute a single point he makes
>can't even point out what they like about the movie which isn't something as abstract and subjective as "the theme"
It was a shit movie. Get over yourselves.

Probably because it had fuck all to do with the book, i'm still mad that there's no Juice Terry on film yet.

using whores and hidden cams is a good way to get some money and i respect this advice from an eventual quality enterprise about black mailing.

all the rest is pathetic.

im fucking tired of danny boyle and his boomer romanticism and the obsession for indians.

his new movie is literally a fucking street pooper playing beatles songs, wich make sense since its all shit anyway.

>the obsession for indians
Anglo white guilt, pathetic.

based juice terry poster, They would have fucked up the casting.

It's supposed to be anything but depressing, you fucking brainlet. It's supposed to shit on the edgyness of the original and to show you being a druggie really leads nowhere, because those are things you realize when you actually grow up.

Britain is a barren, depressing shithole.

>obsession for indians
Was there a single poo in the film? I honestly don't remember any.

just a nostalgia trip that created a condensed and blown up version of the thing that came before. Same as

Gilmore girls: A year in the life
The force awakens
Blair witch 2
Independence Day 2

and danny boyle love these motherfuckers, and the older he gets the more it feels like a theme on his works.

imagine romanticize a society of gang rapists who shit all over the place? and are ugly, UGLY as sin.

> actually, in a few plances of india...

I DONT CARE.

the age of glib facsimiles

*smashes head through wall*
WELL WHO'S THE SMART CUNT NOW???

well, the guy needed it a good looking whore to seduce and blackmail clients, so it would be impossible to get a hairy pussy black nippple indian woman.

he opted for LE EASTERN EUROPEAN WHORE.

but his next movie stars an indian who play beatles songs and it looks like a flaming piece of shit from an old boomer who should just stop.

or, maybe, should live in india, the paradise were 650 million people have to place to take a shit.

i doubt he will.

>He is so OBSESSED with indians he includes them in every movie
>well he didn't include them in this one BUT-

This. Also, I've watched this movie 2 or 3 times to try and enjoy it, but it just bores the shit out of me every time. And the first Trainspotting is one of my favorite movies.

Porno was a pretty good story, and was a better story than T2. I don't understand why they chose to write a different story.

it would have been kino if they'd just followed the book.
It really makes no sense.

He didn't really make a single point.
Edgy.
