Discussions - Part 2

Today we continued with the discussions on Trainspotting. What I have found interesting is that none of the discussions of have been the same, although we have touched on common points. Each discussion explored the ideas and opinions brought up by people in the different groups.

In a very general sense toady we talked about the adjectives used to describe the film. Here are some from today: vibrant, poetic, violent, surreal, aggressive, fearless, graphic, gritty, eye-opening, catastrophic, cocky ... I'll add the ones on from last week when I get my hands on them.

We also talked about the degree to which the film was real and surreal at the same time, the representation of drug use, the representation of Scotland, the technical achievements of the film, and people's general opinion of the impact of the film.

Thanks to everyone who came in for the discussions - they were very useful to help clarify what people felt about the film.

Have a good break.
