На волне очень интересных интервью Дэнни Бойла и похуистическо-хорошего настроения, решила пересмотреть фильм.
ШЕЙТ! Последний раз оценка к этому фильму у меня стояла 15 апреля 2012, в 19:16 - год, 1 день и 1 час назад!
КСТАТИ! Разговоры о сиквеле меня ОЧЕНЬ порадовали!
Книга Ирвина Уелша "Порно" является продолжением истории, и Дэнни Бойл как раз собирается взяться за фильм!
Герои встреться спустя 20 лет! AWESOME! Все актеры сегодня выглядят отлично - Роберт, Юэн, Иэн, Джонни, Кэлли, Питер, Ширли ...
И представляя, то НЕВООБРАЖАЕМОЕ, что может сотворить Дэнни ... вообщем ОЧЕНЬ ожидаемый проект!
Cameo: Irvine Welsh: as Mikey Forrester, Renton's heroin dealer. -
I KNEW IT!читать дальшеShot on a budget of £1.5 million over a period of 35 days.
Despite that low budget, PolyGram allocated an almost unprecedented £800,000
to go towards promotion and advertisement, such was their faith in the film.
Although it looks thoroughly offputting, the faeces in the Worst Toilet in Scotland scene
was actually made from chocolate and smelled quite pleasant.
Irvine Welsh had been approached by film-makers before about adapting "Trainspotting"
for the screen but had resisted their offers. He was won over by Andrew Macdonald and John Hodge's enthusiasm
for the project but only on the condition that they didn't adopt a Ken Loach semi-documentary approach to the material.
Christopher Eccleston was offered the role of Begbie.
In 2009, Robert Carlyle, who played Begbie, told a BAFTA interviewer
that he played Begbie as a closeted gay man whose outbursts of violence were due to his "fear of being outed".
Irvine Welsh, who wrote the movie's source novel, confirmed that he wrote the Begbie of the book
to have an ambiguous sexuality, and agreed with Carlyle's interpretation of the film's version of the character.
Various options were considered to make the film more intelligible for American audiences.
Subtitles were ruled out as they would spoil the effect of using them in the disco scene.
Instead, the actors re-recorded the first 20 minutes of dialog, softening their accents to atune American ears to the Scottish dialect.
First feature film of Kevin McKidd.
This movie was Kelly Macdonald's film debut.
Kelly Macdonald got the part when the production crew were handing out flyers across Glasgow, for anyone eager to audition.
When Danny Boyle first laid eyes on her, in a corridor with a plain hairdo surrounded by many glamorous girls, he knew she was the one.
He wanted someone unknown, so no-one would guess a 19-year-old is playing a schoolgirl.
Macdonald still has the promotional flyer at home.
Kelly Macdonald, although supposedly 14 in the film, was 19 when making it. It was released on her 20th birthday.
For its American release, the first 20 minutes had to be re-dubbed to make the Scottish accents more intelligible.
The scene where the store detectives chase Renton down the street is reminiscent of the scene
in A Hard Day's Night where The Beatles are pursued by fans.
The scene where the four friends cross the road and enter the hotel is reminiscent of the cover of the album "Abbey Road".
Ewen Bremner (Spud) had previously played Renton in a stage adaptation of the novel.
-The "Mother Superior's" written in the dealer house is a reference to the Beatles song Happiness is a Warm Gun,
a song about heroin, which has the line "mother superior jump the gun".
Jonny Lee Miller's character, Sick Boy, is obsessed with James Bond trivia.
Miller is the grandson of Bernard Lee, who played "M" in the Bond series until 1979.
In one scene in London, while Renton is "visited" by Begbie, he's reading a book about actor Montgomery Clift
who had lots of experiences with drugs and medication of all kinds.
The last scene with Spud getting the money in the locker is almost identical
to a scene in Однажды в Америке. Even the circumstances behind the scenes are very similar.
To play the skinny heroin-addicted Renton, Ewan McGregor was placed on a simple diet consisting of no alcohol or dairy products
in order to lose weight. It only took him two months to reach Renton's desired size.
