How old are they supposed to be?


I know Moff's 20, and Nina's brother is 17, but what about the rest of them?

Well there was a scene in the club from 1993 at which point they were probably there, the film was set in 1999, so if they were there they'd have to be at least 24 at the time the film was set.

Plenty of underagers got into clubs in the 90s...Look at Nina's brother! Moff is 20,I reckon Jip and Moff are the same age like 22-23. Nina is probably younger because she talks about college like it was a recent thing...20 I reckon! Lulu is probably 20-21 as well as she is Nina's friend.

Their all two!

reply

Lulu is at University.
Nina dropped out of college.
Jip works in a clothing store.
Moff is 20.

I'd say they are all about 20-24.

Which makes it all the more ridiculous that they are having massive comedowns and talking about giving up.

reply

I assume they between 21-24 because so is my brother and all his mates and this is exactly what they do every weekend.

reply

Why does it make it ridiculous? I'm 23 and went through most of the stuff Moff goes through in this film when I was around 20. All depends how early you start it all and how hard you go at it.

reply

everybody has there own process of getting a grip on reality with their drug use, some people never have that moment and become junkies, but most people settle down with a family and some kids by their late 20's early 30's. Having kids forces you to grow up and move on from the drug scene

reply

I gave up E's by the time I was 19 and gave up ALL drugs by 21 at the latest. I was an early starter. I am now 23. The comedowns are not worth it anymore

reply

i did all my drugs in my second to last, and last year of school, so 16-17. Igave most of them up when i went to Uni cos they were starting to do my head in. dont regret any of it tho. My life was kinda like the movie, cept instead of working during the week i had school, but then i had to work on sat/sun, so it was just friday nite blowing steam for me, and turning up to work on a mega comedown.

these guys were def between 20-24. with koop and jip around 22-24, and the girls slightly younger I think. and Moff 20...

hey, yoda needs to give some better advice, or yoda needs to shut the *beep* up

reply

I would say they were all in their early 20's too

I took E first time at 17. I remember being up for days drinking on E and coming down and puking up foam and bile while shaking.

I am 30 now and took MDMA 3 (2?) days ago.

some of us never learn.

reply

I guess they are in their early twenties...

Prostitute: What the *beep* are you doing?
Johnny: I'm gonna kill a bunch of people.
