It had eviscerated my brain, completely. I was an impressionable twenty-one-year-old guy from the sticks. My brain had not been fed and watered with great culture, you know, as art is meant to do. It had been sandblasted by the power of cinema. And that's why cinema, despite everything we try to do, it remains a young man's medium, really, in terms of audience.


1990s: ''Shallow Grave'' and ''Trainspotting''

The first film Boyle directed was '' Shallow Grave''. The film was the most commercially successful British film of 1995, won the BAFTA Award for Best British Film, and led to the production of '' Trainspotting''. Working with writer John Hodge and producer Andrew Macdonald, ''Shallow Grave'' earned Boyle the Best Newcomer Award from the 1996 London Film Critics Circle. Critics credited these films with revitalising British cinema in the early '90s. The BFI ranked ''Trainspotting'' the 10th greatest British film of the 20th century. Boyle declined an offer to direct '' Alien Resurrection'', the fourth film of the '' Alien'' franchise to make '' A Life Less Ordinary''.


2000s: ''The Beach'', ''28 Days Later'' and ''Slumdog Millionaire''

. Boyle commented, "To be a film-maker...you have to lead. You have to be psychotic in your desire to do something. People always like the easy route. You have to push very hard to get something unusual, something different." Andrew Macdonald, producer of ''Trainspotting'', said "Boyle takes a subject that you've often seen portrayed realistically, in a politically correct way, whether it's junkies or slum orphans, and he has managed to make it realistic but also incredibly uplifting and joyful." The success led a deal with Fox Searchlight. Despite the commercial success of ''Slumdog Millionaire'', Boyle faced criticism for his portrayal of India through a Western, idealized lens. Some critics saw the film as "poverty porn," though Boyle argued he showed India's "lust for life" and "resilience."


2010s: ''127 Hours'', ''Steve Jobs'' and ''T2 Trainspotting''

In 2010, Boyle directed the film ''
