I loved Trainspotting. Before Trainspotting, my thoughts on Britain were formed by movies like Mary Poppins, or war movies with Jack Hawkins. Stiff upper lip, nannies in the park, happy poor people smiling and eating their chutney, or chips or whatever it is.
But with Trainspotting I thought -whoa, it's way different there. It's like a normal place - or at least, Scotland is.

Before, if you were laughing at a British movie, it was because Terry Thomas had a gap in his teeth, or some weird Carry On guy with funny nostrils was trying to feel up the boobs of a nurse. Or Benny Hill was trying to feel someone up.
Now, we were laughing because someone shit the bed, or passed out in a horrific toilet, or... that baby thing. You know.
It had a much more comfortable and normal feel to it.
