15:46 is going down in the blindwave hall of fame

Fun fact, the cameraman who shot the underwater scenes for the toilet sequence also worked on the underwater shots for Phantom Menace. He greeted Ewan MacGregor on the EP1 set with a loud "Couldn't you get a real actor instead of this Scottish prick?"

Reasons you think Aaron will be hilarious during this reaction: needle phobia. Reasons Aaron is actually hilarious during this reaction: "I haven't seen any trains in this movie."

Pedro Pascal mentioned to Ewan McGregor in an interview that he had been travelling for a while and came back to New York. The first thing his friends did was drag him to the movies to see Trainspotting. He said the film shocked and impressed him so much by how different it was from the regular formula back then, that it inspired him to push hard into acting. So because of Ewan and this movie, we have The Mandalorian 😁

15:46 might be one of the greatest moments in Blind Wave history lmfao

Renton calling himself "the most miserable, pathetic, servile trash that was ever shat into civilization" is still Ewan McGregor's all-time best line.

I can't believe you did this film - I love how you sometimes throw out a curve ball. this was so formative for me as a kid with a scottish dad with a drug problem lol. It's a hard watch but definitely a British classic - there is a trainspotting 2 years and years later with all of them but it's a mixed bag

This proves that BW need to watch more movies like that. Independent, artistic movies. Its unlike most of their content, but that reaction was pure gold!

It's called Trainspotting cause the needle marks on the arm are called tracks. Plus, for the writer of the novel, people used to shoot up at a train yard in his town. That's what I have gathered based on reading the book and interviews.

The sequel Trainspotting: T2 is actually really good and very moving in a different way. It manages to really hark back to the themes of the original, but approach all the same characters from a mid-life point of view. I highly recommend it.

This movie is exhausting, even if you're not in constant fear of the sight of needles. It's also why Danny Boyle is an incredibly famous director. Massively zeitgeist, particularly the music; it was huge in the UK on release, particularly amongst my generation, but much less well known in the wider world. Oh and by the way, Robert Carlyle's range amiright?

This will go down in the Blind Wave reaction hall of fame with The Room and the Star Wars Holiday special.

Aaron faces his greatest challenge yet.

I wanted to see Aaron's reaction to this film and it did not disappoint. Aaron's hair by the end of the film is a mess 😄

15:45 that might be one my favorite blind wave moments ever

The guy who sold him the suppositories was actually Irvine Welsh the author of the book the film is based on. Habitual Heroin users end up with 'track' marks on their arms etc caused by the scarring from continually shooting up, the phrase coined for identifying users because of the marks is called 'Trainspotting'

Danny Boyle's first movie Shallow Grave also starring Ewan McGregor is another really great film well worth watching

Hands down one of the best British films ever made! Danny Boyle is such an amazing director! Would love for you guys to react to a highly under-rated sci-fi film by him called "Sunshine".

This movie is a cult classic and quite heavy for obvious reasons, the sequel isn’t as iconic and meaningful but genuinely one of the most well done sequels you’ll ever see so you should definitely react to it 👍. Maybe even more enjoyable than the original

As a Scottish guy I look forward to this. If you're wondering why the hell it's called Trainspotting, please watch the sequel. It's also brilliant.

I remember when the casting for Phantom Menace was announced some so called journalists asked George Lucas if it was right to cast McGregor as Obi Wan because he played a drug addict! If some people can't tell reality from fantasy then they have no business watching movies...

“We called him mother superior on account of the length of his habit” love that line.

As an ex addict I think this is one of the best films showing addiction. I love how in the beginning they show how good it can be "otherwise we wouldn't do it" but it gets so bad in every aspect of your life, people who weren't using before and started after you dying before you, Tommy's death is just so real. The od scene is good and makes it interesting, really oding tho is all blank screen. But I also loved the carpet take. Great reaction thank you Choose life 8 years clean ♡

Y'all need to watch the 2nd one. It has a totally different feel to it but it's so worth it.

A huge cultural touchstone in U.K. culture in the 90’s. The poster, Born Slippy, Lust For Life, Dark Train, McGregor, Carlisle, Lee Miller. The sheer invention and vibrancy of the movie. Cool Britannia right there. An immense movie. Check out Shallow Grave too.

Aaron: "Maybe they'll only show the needles once." Morgan Freeman: "I wish I could tell you that Andy fought the good fight, and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that - but prison is no fairy-tale world."

The boys' desperation during the toilet scene was so utterly hilarious and Aaron's "son of a bitch" at 15:51 was so genuine :'D This reaction is one for the ages.

"The best movies make you wanna go make a movie" - wow. A perfect way to express how i feel about movies. Thank you for putting it into words ;)

One thing that wasn't really mentioned is how good the soundtrack is. Two albums ended up being released from the film and both are unbelievably good collections of music that fit into the culture that was sweeping the UK at the time!

the Renton overdosing scene is probably one of my favorite sequences in film. the song playing over it is Perfect day by Lou reed. a song that most will probably think its about the perfect day with a significant other, but instead, many think its about heroin. Lou reed had his own problem with addiction and he wrote the song as describing the perfect day when hes with ''you'' aka heroin

I was still laughing from their reaction to the poop covered bed sheets. So when their reactions to Aaron mentioning the trains came I was rolling on the floor.

Aaron: I haven’t seen ONE train in this movie! The movie: N O T E D

Aaron's hair went through a journey like Eric's in the Room reaction

Fun fact: The toilet scene was actually made using chocolate for the faeces, so it actually smelled lovely and Ewan McGregor had to really sell the feeling of it being disgusting.

As a Scot it's great to see you guys watch this. If you can, you should watch the sequel too. And maybe watch another Scottish movie or TV show (Sunshine on Leith would be a good one - albeit with a main cast member who's not a good person) but you see George MacKay from 1917 and a great Scottish actor Peter Mullan. Also, couldn't see if you figured out why you knew Spud but he's in Wonder Woman. The Scottish guy in Wonder Woman's group. Kelly MacDonald plays Diane - she was in Harry Potter and voiced Merida in Brave.

This is an absolute all time blind wave reaction. The reactions to the insane triply scenes were better than I could’ve hoped for, the train bit was hilarious, and Aaron’s hair by the end being an absolute mess. Love you guys!

This has to be in the top 10 best blind wave reactions ever.

Trainspotting has an absolutely loaded cast. McGregor, Robert Carlyle, Kelly MacDonald, and I've always been a fan of Jonny Lee Miller, who in my opinion does a much more interesting version of Sherlock Holmes in Elementary than Benedict Cumberbatch's version in Sherlock, even if Sherlock was a more interesting show as a whole.

*Aaron:* "I haven't seen one train in this Movie!" *Train:* "I'm about to end this guy's entire career."

Nice one guys. Back in the 1990s, I was living not too far away from where Trainspotting is set and was attending a day hospital for people with addiction and other mental health issues. Part of the day hospital programme involved afternoon trips to the movies and we did actually go to see Trainspotting when it was originally released. That was a totally surreal moment - sitting in the cinema, watching events which - all those surrealist touches aside - was not too far removed from our own lives... By the way, Trainspotting 2 is one of those rare sequels that is better than the original. In fact, I think the sequel makes the original a better film than it previously was by adding depth and shade to the story and characters. So, yeah, I strongly recommend the sequel.

Hilarious 😂❤️ The toilet scene, the poop, the train, Aarons hair transformation, Eric vibing to eurodance... What an epic reaction ❤️

Another subscriber from Scotland. Your reaction for this was fantastic and really didn't expect you to cover it! The film really launched the careers of so many actors that are still well known names now Robert Carlyle, Ewen Bremner, Johnny Lee Miller, Kevin McKidd to name a few. In the 90s this was probably one of the most iconic films to be made.

15:45 had me crying with laughter 😂😂

One of the greatest movies from the 1990s (or even ever made in general)! Y'all also gotta watch Danny Boyle's directing debut ''Shallow Grave'' (1994), also with Ewan McGregor and '''28 Days Later'' (2002). Greetings from The Netherlands.

I've sat in the seat that Begbie threw the pint glass from. It was filmed in a wee run-down pub near the Byers Road in Glasgow. My bf took a photo on my ancient flip phone and the photo was lost when the phone died 😭 Ah, 2007

I normally watch all the reactions in full length, but this film is so harrowing I skipped it this time. Doing it that way made some of this reaction absolutely hysterical. The gross bathroom freak out, your guys faces when he dove in the toilet pool, your reactions to the kitchen poop storm. Exceptional.

This movie needs to be played at School to show kids not to use drugs like that. I watched it over20 years ago and I still memeber it pretty vividly.

I was such a big trainspotting fan that I went to Edinburgh to do my own little tour of a bunch of the locations, ended up falling in love with the city and moved there. People look very confused when they ask why I decided to move and this film is my answer.

If I remember correctly the bathroom was covered in chocolate and it was described as smelling overly sweet

Props to Aaron !! he even looked straight into the tv in one of the needle scenes XD conquering your nightmares

31:01 the bald guy who went into the bathroom to check it was the actor Keith Allen, Lily Allen (the singer) and Alfie Allen’s (Greyjoy/Reek in Game Of Thrones) dad

The book is SO MUCH more intense because it delves way more into each character. I became obsessed with Ewan after this movie.

Fun fact, The guy with the ginger locks who yelled FOOTBALL was the voice of Flashpoint Batman and as a kid had a huge Batman poster he made himself on his bedroom wall.

It's rare for films to have such a powerful creative vision of the director that comes across. I often wonder how close the brilliant opening scene is to what Boyle envisioned. Did he start with the Iggy Pop song and the "choose life" dialogue and then fill in what the characters would be doing? The overdose scene is also brilliant from start to finish, the quiet Lou Reed song is filled with a sense of regret and sorrow. It conveys how Renton's dealer will help him a little, but not go too far and get himself in trouble (such as calling the cab while the ambulance races by).

Never expected this reaction but I’m so happy. Love from Scotland guys 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

16:14 Even Obi Wan is laughing his ass off

Spud and Renton were also in Black Hawk Down together, but pretty much every actor is in Black Hawk Down!

My Dad sat next to the person who made the poster for Trainspotting in school. It was in science apparently. Pretty cool since it is an iconic poster.

That “no trains” comment has made my year. 😂

Lads, Jacko from Ireland here, I've loved all your reactions for years, from the GOT reaction onwards, the Calvin Red Wedding was the straw that broke the camels back for me. Delighted youse loved Trainspotting. I have always had 3 movies as cultural milestones in my film viewing life, the ones I call my favuorite movies and they all come out within 3 years of each other. One is American - Pulp Fiction, another is British - Trainspotting and the other is Irish - The Commitments, give it go if you fancy it, early 90s Alan Parker movie, I reckon youse'll like it.

BEST REACTION EVER. What an instant classic, this is my favorite reaction of Blind Wave. The toilet scene and the train scene was epic, the editing was f-ing great with Aaron squirming, the beat bopping music and the countless zoom-ins. Loved every moment of it.

I remember this movie coming out. I was at college and we were just getting over our Pulp Fiction hangover and this came out. We all went to see it at the cinema and lost our sh*t at just how good/edgy this movie is. It blew us all away and cemented Danny Boyle as a director to watch. He has become one of my favourite directors working today. His style is so dynamic and unique. A classic movie with a fantastic soundtrack. What a fun reaction from you guys!

16:15 You can’t unsee this Obi-Wan’s face.

This was, hands down, the most enjoyable movie reaction I've ever seen ..and I'm only at the first train part. BRAVO! All of you! But especially the dude on the right! BRAVO, sirs!

This movie was quite a trip to watch. Props to Aaron for surviving 😆😆

The sequel is also GREAT. Please react to Trainspotting 2 too.

Before watching your reaction to this movie (that I saw intheatre back when), I urge you to see Trainspotting 2, which was released some 20 years later, and that's also 20 years later in the story, with the same cast. One of those sequels that is as good as the original. I highly recommend it!

8:20 “It’s like the entrance to the Ministry of Magic.” Jesus Eric, you are just too pure for this world lol!

"I haven't seen one train in this movie" Train: "hold my train"

FUN FACT! In britain (and the world actually) Oasis (i really hope you know them) is one of the biggest bands in the history of rock music, and they were invited to do the soundtrack of this movie, but the band declined the gig because they thought the movie was about trains and transport geeks! Imagine the surprise after seeing the movie for the first time! Especially for Noel lol!

Trivia: Mikey Forrester, the skeevy dealer in the Clash T-shirt who gives Renton the opium suppositories, is played by Irvine Welsh, the author of Trainspotting.

Never thought you guys would see a little more mature movies and not so mainstream ones. Hope you like it, is one of my all time favorites!

This is by far the best reaction video ever thanks to Aaron 😂😂😂

15:47 this gotta be Blind Wave's best moment ever! XD

Very surprised none of you had seen this! Is definitely a total classic, and a must-watch for every Ewan fan.

Definitely watch the sequel. They even give some childhood flashbacks to shed light on why Renton and Begby are even mates.

I lived in Edinburgh when this movie was being shot and this was a powerful movie at the time. Danny Boyle at his finest and for me Ewan McGregor's best work!

That toilet scene and the screams had me crying 🤣

I spent 7 years living this life. When I was young I used to think this was the coolest movie ever. Now days I occasionally come back to it just to remind myself why I got clean lmao I still feel sick every time I see him withdrawing.

One of my favorite movies. So tragic and dark. The dark humor works so well to show the absolute state of degradation. The sequel to this movie is absolutely amazing and one of my favorite sequels ever made.

bruh my dad just came from scotland and I watched this movie for the first time and now this came out a day later, crazy

He wasn’t going to stab him, he was going to “chib” him. Was a big problem in Scotland in the 80s and 90s. You cut their cheeks, there’s a fairly well knows Scottish actor with chib scars, in fact I think his sons of anarchy character was called chibs because of it.

The sequel T2: Trainspotting is also a great movie and would be an easier watch for people with needle phobias. Another film based of a novel by Irvine Welsh is "Filth" with James McAvoy, which is one of my favourite movies. I think of it like a Scottish Othello 😂

This classic movie was a massive deal at the time, which was part of a cultural revolution movement in UK among Gen X. You should also check out Danny Boyle's breakthrough movie Shallow Grave, which also stars Ewan McGregor along with former Doctor Who great Christopher Eccleston and Kerry Fox. It's a brilliant really dark comedy/thriller :-)

25:15-25:30 was iconic. thank you

This might be my favourite movie for the crews reaction so far

Although Im only 24 years old and had my fair share of drugs this is my favourite movie of all time. The way it portrays addiction is just amazing. Im thankful my favourite crew reacted to it

“ I haven’t seen one train in this movie” ! …. Gotta be the greatest reaction moment this year 😂

Trainspotting is, in my eyes, one of those trrue classic and always memorable movies. One in a million so to speak. Like Equilibrium for example. Again, just my taste.

you guys should also do "shallow grave", a movie Ewan did before trainspotting with the same director and Christopher Eccelston.

This was my favorite movie for years since the late 90's. Still may be my favorite.

I remember I watched this movie shortly before episode one, and the toilet scene was printed in my mind.... then in EP1 in the sea of Naboo there is a very similar shot when obi one dives to the gungan city... I was damn he's still looking for the pills!!!

I genuinely dont think ive ever heard Eric laugh this much in any reaction they have done, and ive seen thousands of hours of these boys.

They did use melted chocolate for the worst toilet scene Ewan McGregor said the set smelled really good

I've seen this dozens of times since it came out. Still hits all the feels.

Danny Boyle is an incredible filmmaker. Probably best known for Slumdog Millionaire personal favorites are Shallow Grave, 28 Days Later and Sunshine (latter is one of my all-time fav sci-fi movies).

The carpet thing was to mimic how burial plots are set up for funeral services. The shot was adrenalin (see Pulp Fiction).

Aaron. You got through it. Faced the phobia head on. Proud of you man.

10:35 When he says he was going to 'chib' him, that's actually an entirely different thing to being 'stabbed'. It's a form of disfigurement that came from Glasgow, practically exclusive to Scottish knife culture. A victim's cheeks are slit from the corner of their lip or across the cheekbones, leaving two horizontal scars from ear to ear. The actor Tommy Flanagan bears chib scars, hence his character's nickname 'Chibs' in Sons of Anarchy. Count Dankula also did an excellent video on the knife gangs of Glasgow in which he mentions the practice of chibbing.
