Genre Research - Trainspotting

After Pulp Fiction we moved our research field back to British movies about drugs, choosing to have a look into Trainspotting (1996) by Danny Boyle: unlike Requiem for a Dream, this film has a protagonist and is focused not only on the purchase, consumption and damages of drugs but gives also space to the abandonment of them and the research of a "detoxified" way of life.

Plot: Renton, deeply immersed in the Edinburgh drug scene, tries to clean up and get out, despite the allure of the drugs and influence of friends. (quote imdb.com)

Like the other two films, Trainspotting is strongly characterized by the power of money and the negotiation that is taking place in the indoor scene of the first picture suggests this feature too.
The dimension of the package tells the audience that the characters are dealing with a huge sum of money.

Finally, an important element of drug-dramas is clearly visible in this movie: characters that deal with drugs are very often presented with a bag or suitcase, supposedly used to carry some illegal substances or cash when a transaction is about to take place.
