The music in the opening scene of Trainspotting doesn't match the scene as the music is classical whereas the scene is seedy. The scene is first set in a drug den and then in a hotel room. The undeniable difference between music and scene is supposed to be funny.
The scene open in a house with three people sitting at a table eating dinner. Than the scene changed from this to a dirty crack room, there is a body on the floor. There is almost a comical element in the beginning, after the talk between Mark and Mother Superior the bridge, which is a train sound, connects the classical music from the crack house to the next scene of a hotel room.
When Mark is telling the viewer what he needs in order to get himself off drugs, he could be reading off a grocery list for all the emotion in his voice. He breaks down the hotel room's door, in order to get some pills to ease the withdrawal. Just before the scene ends, Mark say 'What the fuck are these?!'.
