i think the film was decent, however not without flaws, id given it a 7/10.

the most memorable scene for me was when combo attacked Milky, because it was sudden and unexpected. And also a very emotional scene

we see young people in the bar scene, where we get to see how careless they can be, as shown by the fight

we see older people briefly throughout the movie such as marks parents, who are always there to help him, even if he doesnt realise it, such as when they keep him in his room, but only for his own safety. this shows that they are more mature and caring than the younger generation, as they have lived longer lives.

working class people are shown such as when we are shown when mark has a job, and we get to see all the details of working class life for him.

we are shown Scottish people all throughout the film and as mark says ‘we are the scum of the earth’

we are shown addicts in a very not so subtle way in this film showing how they get hooked, and what comes with it, and what they do, as well as how they come crashing down along with everything around them.

men are represented in this movie as being quite immature and almost childish, who get annoyed or easily get into fights or start them. they are often shown as having lack of self respect or not coping well with emotions.

women are mostly shown as side characters in the film, except from Diane who easily keeps control of mark, and shows how she is more dominant than him.

a really good use of sound by director Danny Boyle is in one of the final scenes where we see mark stealing the money, the added music creates a lot of tension because of it getting more and more intense due to more elements coming into the song, such as the kickdrum coming in as hes about to steal the bag.

a good example of editing is when the scene freezes at the bar, to give mark the chance to explain the real story of what happened, and then cuts back to that frozen shot to continue it.

an example of mise en scene in trainspotting is the scene where mark is put into his childhood room after almost dying. we arent told that this is his room but the mise en scene tells us that it is through the use of wallpaper and posters.

an example of cinematography in trainspotting is the use of the worms eye shot, such as in the scene where renton overdoses, and you see characters looking down upon him. this is effective, because it shows how powerless he is in this situation, as well as to his addiction.

i would give the film a very solid 9.5/10. i would say that the most memorable scene would be scene where we see our main character, mark, steal the money from his so called friends, as it was unexpected and very tense due to the music and had me on the edge of my seat.

a stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing.#

a countertype is something that counters and challenges the normal ideologies

an example of a good countertype, is wesley snipes in the film blade, where the lead character is a heroic person of colour.

an example of a stereotype in films, is snow white, where she is shown as weak and feminine.

my favourite movie soundtrack is probably predator from 1987. it was composed by Alan Silvestri. Silvestri based the score around a bed of various percussions, as well as using motifs to give it a human feel, as well as give the characters more depth.

The reason why i like it is because it is unique, giving the film a unique feel. it also simply fits in well with the military style, as well as having some ominous undertones as well as mysterious sound

Supervising sound editors are responsible for the finished sound in movies and television shows, whereas a sound mixer mixes all the sounds into the perfect splice for on screen and creates the soundscape.
