My favorite movie is "Trainspotting" is a scottish film, directed by Danny Boyle in 1996. This film shows the history of a group of friends cocaine addicts in Edimburgo, were a principal character is Mark Renton.
The other characters are:
- Diane
-Sick Boy
- Spud
- Tommy

Mark Renton have a particular philosophy of life: don't not choose a particular philosophy of life.  The problems of contemporary society are reflected in this movie.
Along of the movie, Mark Renton meets a girl that makes change a better person and rehab.
I love this film! The reasons?  There are many reasons, for example, I like the soundtracks, for example songs such as "Perfect Day" of Lou Reed , "Atomic" of Blondie, "Underworld" of Born Slippy ans " Temptation" of Heaven 17 ; because are reflected the situations by means of the songs.
Another reason is the personal discourse to the beggining of the film:

"Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself.
Choose your future.
Choose life."

 This  personal discourse means a reflect of the vision very common in the modern society, when the principal problems have a relation with the appearance and thinks materials. And it's in relation with the human relations.

Trainspotting is a milestone in the films in 1990, for its songs, characters and troubles.
