Favorite moments of cinema: Choose life

Cataloged in all rankings as one of the best films of all time, beyond its cult, the film premiered at the premiere of the prizes and criticism in the screenwriting category despite its transgressive anti-social proposal that challenged good habits.

An audiovisual remnant, achieved by Danny Boyle, his actors and the soundtrack itself was to mark the generational line of the so-called "X" and its transition from youth to maturity not only on the humorous or nostalgic side, but manufacturing a whole cinematographic piece substantial and profound in all its aspects through an amalgam of tragedy, comedy and surrealism, perfect trio in which the emotions and confusions through which each young layer passes in its respective time, time and/or space could be summarized.

While it's true that the children of the generation Y or the silent plebes of the Z may seem excessive and without a fixed direction in their narration, the segment of the audience that saw it premiered may rejoice in its full quality. References and situations as natural as brutal that cross this group of misfits. Mention aside to one of the best OST of all time, the acting work (Ewan McGregor as ever) and the resource voice off, one of the most outstanding and memorable. Essential!

The sequel, although not as good (and never will be) as the first one, has two narrative tangents, a consequence of the final act of that insuperable nineties classic, and another that is simply a rehash sweetened with nostalgia and structured based on the remnants and the memory of its predecessor. Even so, Boyle manages to translate and transfer the spirit of the 90's to this era. The best? The performances do not disappoint and even with age they achieve a more effective maturity and structure around most of their characters. While the first one talked about the hidden dangers that entails a lifestyle centered on the search for immediate pleasure without concessions of the youth, the sequel has a devastating existentialist speech, which says that aging is shit, the fear of losing our place in the world and that we're condemned to repeat the same mistakes over and over again. It makes you leave the cinema with an accomplice and gigantic smile, drawn in the middle of the uneasiness.

Many will feel its nostalgic appeal like a dishonest lure, but, if appealing to nostalgia like this means that many emotions and thoughts appear like this and you ended up liking these assholes like friends, I cannot wait for Danny Boyle and company to meet within ten years (since Boyle is already in his 60's) and create "Trainspotting 3", for after teaching us how to live and after teaching us how to grow up, they teach us how to deal with death or something similar.

Because today... I've finally "Choose life"...
