What is the passionate respect for Kubrick expressed in the youth drama ``Trainspotting''?

Kubrick's words that influenced director Danny Boyle

However, for the creators, it must have been an unpredictable situation in terms of everything, including what kind of work it would end up being, how it would be judged by the audience and critics, and whether the direction they believed in was correct. Danny Boyle, who would later become an Oscar-winning director for "Slumdog Millionaire" and one of Britain's leading creators, including serving as artistic director for the opening ceremony of the London Olympics, was 40 years old at the time. When people challenge themselves in unknown territory, what should they rely on to venture into the forest of creativity?

One of the guiding principles for Boyle at this time was a quote from Stanley Kubrick, the master director known for films such as " 2001: A Space Odyssey" and " The Shining": "The important thing in a film is not to put it into words, but to let the audience actually experience it."

Nowadays, we are in an age where 3D, huge screens, and even 4D that combines shaking and smells are on the rise, but a movie is not just about telling a story, but about drawing minute details such as the smells, air, light, wind, and the psychological state of the characters, and inviting the audience into the center of the world. The word "experience" that Kubrick used has a very large meaning.

"Trainspotting" includes scenes depicting young people taking drugs and reaching the height of pleasure, but then suddenly deciding to quit drugs and experiencing the harsh mental state of a nightmarish mix of reality and delusion.

The Day After let's not forget the "worst toilet in Scotland," which became a famous feature of the movie. The movie features a scene that no ordinary person would think of, in which the main character rushes in, plunges his face into a toilet bowl covered in feces and urine, and dives underwater. For those who haven't seen it, it's beyond intense and is sure to awaken some kind of mystical mental state.

Needless to say, these are all things we cannot experience in our everyday lives. They cannot be achieved with a mentality that is merely about telling a story; the stimulation of the images directly stimulates every sense of the viewer, and before we know it, we too are breathing, sweating, thrashing about, and running around in that world, just like one of the characters.

And there is no doubt that the element of "experience" was also behind the impact of this film, which spread beyond English-speaking countries to other countries. Visual experiences appeal intuitively beyond language. The truth of what Kubrick said, "The important thing is to make it feel." It was precisely because of this awareness, even with a low budget, that "Trainspotting" was able to become such a high-level visually and physically appealing film, with tireless ingenuity in the art, acting, and filming methods.
