And there's no denying that.

But it is showing the outcomes of what happens with that drug use.

And the people, Renton in particular, is carrying this bag with him through life that he doesn't need to carry.

And it's a heavy bag and it's ruining his life.

I think it's a bit more nuanced.

100%.

I didn't know.

I've always, because the music in his films are so great, I've always thought Danny Boyle just has a great ear for music.

But as I read about this, I discovered it was actually a guy called Tristan Penna, who was an A&R man in the music industry at the time.

And he'd worked with him on Shallow Grave and they'd done a handshake saying, if you're doing another film, get me involved.

So he got him involved in the early days and he saw a rough take of the movie in which he said the music was crap.

And he saw the opening scene that didn't have Lust for Life in it.

And he at the time, apart from being an A&R man, was a good club goer.

And he discovered that in the nightclubs, if you wanted a thing that just sounded like the nightclub ballistic, it was Lust for Life.

So he immediately said, we'll try Lust for Life.

And the moment they put Lust for Life in, that opening scene is made.

So that got him into it.

And after that, they also wanted to use David Bowie's Golden Years.

Bowie said no, which I find phenomenal.
