9/10

Memorable Scene: For me the most memorable scene was when Mark Renton came off heroine, after his relapse. This scene, too me is the most memorable as it combines other scenes where mark has felt Guilty for causing pain, for example Tommy losing his girlfriend and becoming drug obsessed, or where sick boy’s baby died due to neglect as Mark got them all addicted to heroine again.

Score: 9.5/10

Memorable Scene: When Mark takes heroin after ‘giving up’ and sinks into the carpet. This is memorable as we not only see Mark’s point of view from inside the carpet but also the real events where he is being dragged into a taxi and eventually ends up in the hospital.

I would give this movie a 7/10. I felt that it does a really good job of portraying the struggles of drug addiction and how it can effect you and close ones. I thought some of the more vulgar scene were important to drive the movies message but some I felt were needlessly shocking like the main characters relations with an underage girl. A scene that stuck out to me was the part where he goes back to the drugs after promising he would stop as it shows how conflicted he feels and how hard it is to stop.
