Trainspotting:
Trainspotting is a film about being able to pull your life together. It’s a matter of selecting the most important things to do in your life and being able to get them done. The main character Mark (Renton) is a heroin addict and narrates his life everyday around his friends who he does not actually like. Simon is Mark’s oldest friend is it extremely good at being able to flirt with the women. semi-casually, then stopping at will, without developing an addiction. In fact, Sick Boy considers himself above everyone he interacts with in terms of class, restraint, and moral fibre, despite being one of the most shallow and callous characters in the film. It’s a matter of finding what you need in life and settling down with a job, home and money but this isn’t seen as an essential thing in life. Why waste your time making a decent life for yourself when you can just live on heroin?
Clerks:
Dante Hicks (O'Halloran) is a 22-year-old no-hoper still holding a candle for high school bike Caitlin (Spoonhauer), who left him years before. His inferno is the Quick Stop Convenience Store, where he's working - as a favour to his boss - on his day off.
He's victim of an anti-smoking mob organised by a chewing gum sales rep, subject to requests to use the bathroom from porn-toting pensioners, and shocked to discover his current girlfriend's previous penchant for fellatio. His travails are all the more bitter because, as he keeps whinging, "I'm not even supposed to be here today!"
