From the Paper:
"Trainspotting is a film depicting the drug culture in the United Kingdom. Controversy developed between those who saw the film as reflecting a reality that had to be understood and addressed and those who saw the film as glorifying drug use. The harrowing nature of the lives of the young people in this film, however, would seem to mitigate any potential for glorification. The film reflects the social context of its time in a debate between the belief in free expression and in control to reach some end. One side seeing drugs as so terrible that even excessive means might be needed to stop their use and the other side seeing the issue as overblown so that society should restrain its repressive impulses."More papers on "Trainspotting":
