T2: Trainspotting - Sometimes Nostalgia is the Deadliest Drug

WARNING: This review contains spoilers for the film Trainspotting. I mean, the movie’s been out for over twenty years, but since I can’t really talk about its sequel without also discussing the original, I thought I’d give you a head’s up anyway. We good? Good.

Originality is overrated. While many bemoan Hollywood’s lack of originality while awash in a sea of reboots, remakes, sequels and franchise building, they forget that everyone has to get their ideas from somewhere. Everything is a remix, nothing is original anymore, and every new idea is just the culmination of ideas from the past. Or as Pablo Picasso once put it, “Good artists copy, great artists steal.” The thing that separates the inspired ideas from the uninspired ones, however, is what they do with their plunder. Life is a terrific example of this. It may not have a single original bone in its body, but it at least knows how to use its stolen ideas effectively.
