National Extra 'What Welsh and his skagboys were rejecting for the bliss of heroin, is the very status quo ante we are asked to yearn for, post-Covid' THERE are two sides to Trainspotting the movie, whose 25th anniversary we celebrate today (with a loud flush of The World’s Worst Toilet, of course). One is deep-rooted in centuries of Scottish literary tradition. The other is wide, wide open to the future of the rest of this century, in all its terrors and thrills. Looking back over the movie, it’s worth noting how well-spoken everyone is. The movie’s accents were redubbed for the US and global markets (Renton in particular sounds like a Charlotte Square investment manager).
