Trainspotting: Final scene analysis Danny Boyle uses different scenes throughout Trainspotting to show Mark Renton's character development. The final scene is used by Danny Boyle as a way of showing Renton's ability to involve and progress in the situations he is in. It could be argued that by watching the final scene things are looking hopeful for Renton, since it seems like he is able not only to revise his old behaviours but to stick to his plan to "choose life". It should also be argued that even though the opening narration is at asact opposite ends of the film and the both narrations are the same in the worlds that are being spoken are the same, it could be said that Boyle uses the narration as a sort of antithesis; which not only highlights the fact that Renton has change externally (the actions he will take) he has also altered his mindset. The mindset being the thing that has the most influence of how life will turn out for them.  Though th...

Trainspotting:Key scene analysis Throughout Trainspotting the director, Danny Boyle explores themes such as; addiction, friendship, drug use, family, happiness, decision-making and many more.

Trainspotting: Mark Renton   character analysis  In Trainspotting Danny Boyle not only creates the character Mark Renton, but he also develops him in a way that makes the audience understand him, but also sympathies with him. From the beginning of the film right through to the end Danny Boyle focuses more of the potential of Mark Renton rather than who he definitively. At the beginning Renton seem to be a quite care free character that is clearly a drug addict. One thing that is quite unexpected is that he is aware of his addiction.   After Renton's opening monologue regarding choosing life he says "But why would I want to do things like that? And the reasons...who needs reasons when you have heroin. From this it is made clear that at this stage of the film that drugs are clearly more important to Renton than 'choos[ing] life' and all the things that come with it at this stage. He then goes on to say " People think it's all about misery and desperati...
