On April the 20th 2017, I watched a movie called “T2 Trainspotting”. It is the sequel to the successful movie in 1996, “Trainspotting”. Although more than 20 years have passed, the black humor underlay in the story has never faded away. The characters also aged by 21 years, but still behave the same as before. Ewan McGregor is now a great star after the outbreak in “Trainspotting”, but he still seems not to forget the underground sense predominating in this kind of psychedelic movie, really putting everything he has into playing his part. I also watched the previous “Trainspotting” in 1996 when I was a high-school student, and recall the memory limping around myself. This “limping” sense is the main impression I feel in these movies. In this movie, women were more mature than men, and men were all the more no good still living in the old ages. The movies are magnificent in the sense they reflect cultural outsiders in UK, especially in the people who were at young ages in ‘90s. You can notice there are plenty of homages from variety of cultural elements, triggering the interests for decoding the symbols.
