Trainspotting

This scene in the movie 'trainspotting' starts with some non-digetic sound (a voiceover) I think this is used here to try connect the audience with the main character as we are hearing his thoughts. After this there is digetic sounds as there is a conversation between two characters, during this conversation there is an attempt to create humour as one of the characters says a completely un-related thing "he knows alot about Sean Connery" After this there is a sound bridge which uses the sound of a train, I think this sound has been used here because it links in with the title of the movie. Immediately after this sound bridge non-digetic music begins to play, and also another voice over, the music that is playing does not link in with what the audience is actually seeing in the movie, the music is classical even though what the movie is showing is a drug user trying to stop using drugs, I think this non- parallel sound is used to yet again create humour. The voice speaking is of the main character and he is listing all of the things he deems necessary for rehabilitation. At the very end of the scene humour is yet again created as the main character swears at the drug dealer who brought the wrong drugs.
