Perhaps it's the sharp humor, acting, or the deliberate set, costume, and sound design. Ewan Mcgregor, who plays the main character of the movie, actually was thinking about trying heroin in order to understand the character better which is a testament to how dedicated he is. It's a critism of Margaret Thatcher's Scotland, specifically how awful Edinburgh was, and a commentary on consumerism and modern society. This is what makes the movie so good. It's realistic and varied approach to presenting difficult topics, and it's ability to stand the test of time and still be relevant today.

At each turn the haunting saxophone follows him,
