Trainspotting Fun Facts

The original novel Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh was inspired by Welsh's own experiences with heroin addiction and the Edinburgh drug scene, and the title refers to a hobby of observing trains, which is a metaphor for the characters' lives being stuck in a cycle of addiction.

The iconic Choose Life monologue in the film, delivered by Ewan McGregor's character Mark Renton, was inspired by the song Choose Life written by the band The Proclaimers.
