5.当然片子开头和结尾时候Mark的自白也是Trainspotting的点睛之笔：
开头："Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career.Choose a family. Choose a big fucking television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disk players and electrical tin openers...choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on the couch, watching mind-numbing,spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all,pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life. But why would I want to do a thing like that?" ...讽刺。
结尾："This is the last of this sort of thing. I'm cleaning up and I'm moving on, going straight and choosing life. I'm looking forward to it already. I'm going to be just like you: the job, the family, the fucking big television, the washing machine, the car, the compact disc and electrical tin opener, good health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, mortgage, starter home, leisurewear, luggage, three-piece suite, DIY, game shows, junk food, children, walks in the park, nine to five, good at golf, washing the car, choice of sweaters, family Christmas, indexed pension, tax exemption, clearing the gutters, getting by, looking ahead, to the day you die. " 这是他的选择吗？还是青春给他的选择？...讽刺。
其实青春的另外一个定义就是无限选择。We always do have a choice. Mark选择了用逃避来逃避以前的逃避。吸毒，未婚先孕，打劫，斗殴，对他来说都只是一个帮助他作出选择的过程。他能看穿生活吗？看穿了是不是更无奈？记得当他戒完毒后对自己说，原来一切之后真正的痛苦才刚刚开始，空虚才是生活的本质。用石康的话说就是：当你爬到顶峰的时候回头往下看的时候发现梯子没了。心里慌吧。所以生命里面你我都是站在统一战线上的，都是战友，我们真正的敌人是空虚。那些现代都市人口中所谓的independence都是 bullshit。内心要是无法打败青春的躁动或者生活的空洞，就根本谈不上什么成熟独立。叛逆其实就是孤独和虚弱的美丽借口。Talk to me when you grow up.
话题转到我们这代人身上。其实我们这代人真正有自己选择的人并不多，即使自己有选择的权利，那么选项也非常有限。这个是时代和现实为我们带来的悲哀。但是可喜的是，时代帮我们做出的选择至少方向是正确的，在这个方向中，我们年轻的激情尚在。也曾在青春的空地徘徊，也曾用叛逆的冲动为周遭留下伤疤。但是一切过后，我们始终在前进。但愿回头的那一天可以对自己说一句I've no regrets.
这里让我想起了克林顿和布什在被问到自己年轻时候吸毒经历时候的辩驳。
克林顿:“我吸了，但是没有吸进去。”(For God's sake, what a liar!)
布什:“我们在年轻和不负责任的时候，可以被允许做一些年轻和不负责任的事情。” (Oh really?? F**king hell!)
However, it's true.我们每个人都有各种各样的借口为自己的年轻和不负责任辩解。
青春，after all,也就是一场不负责任的过往。
