Discovering that most people& #39;s cultural entry point to Ewan McGreggor was Star Wars and that& #39;s so bizarre to me.
For me, McGreggor will always be tied to the early films of Danny Boyle, smack dab in the middle between Tarantino& #39;s irreverent crime romps and Fincher& #39;s nihilistic thrillers.
Trainspotting was actually a really major hit for a foreign drama. It made a big splash worldwide and was largely responsible for making McGreggor a star.
It really kind of shows you where the 90s were that so many of the biggest films were R rated dramas that revolved around heroin addicts.
Hell, even Ben Stiller made a heroin chic drama in the 90s that no one remembers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Joabx8YpAg">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Bye if y’all have never seen SHALLOW GRAVE, fix that immediately. It’s astonishing how fully formed Danny Boyle arrived. It’s brilliant.
