TRAINSPOTTING : ANALYSIS OF NARRATIVE RESOLUTION


Analyse how the narrative resolution of the film explores and resolves its  themes and binary oppposites 

 ( friendship, betrayal, escape , family life, alienation, addiction , past v future , masculinity , responsibility v freedom, individuality v society, etc. ).



You should focus here on the final sections  of the film and on Tommy's narrative and fate and particularly  Renton's attempts to escape and his final betrayal. Look at how film form is used to guide audience response and alignment in key scenes and the language used in the closing voiceover.

Is there a moral or message to Trainspotting or is it ambiguous about the themes and characters ? 
How does Renton exemplify this ?
