8 reasons why diehard fans will love Trainspotting 2
The sequel is aimed straight at the OG 'spotters
7 The film remains disdainful of 'The Man'
It wouldn’t be a proper sequel if it didn’t have a penchant for counter culture and general disdain for ‘The Man’. A rerub of the original ‘mantra’ was released well ahead of T2’s release, this time calling out social media, revenge porn and zero hours contracts, so we knew to expect a scathing commentary on society at large. The film is littered with references to CCTV and surveillance, online banking and gentrification, making for an uneasy sense of paranoia throughout.
