Review of The Beach (2000) by Ankur K — 14 Apr 2010
(A review from a big fan of the movie) With an open mind, need for adventure, and a need to escape the ever-so-busy world, Richard gets more than he (thought he) bargained for...This movie is not for the typical traveler who seeks local hotspots, tourist traps, and trendy gatherings.
If you are independent, intelligent, and adventurous, this can easily become one of your favorite films with an even more impressive soundtrack. In other-words, if you fall in love with the movie, you will love the soundtrack.
I have known this movie for over 8 years now, and it continues to captivate me. It's ironic, but also the key factor if you will like the movie or not, the closing scene when he is surrounded by computers rather than oceans/beaches,.
..is probably the best scene in the movie. Luckily it's rated R with real, flawed, adult themes. It's no Disney on the Beach, and certainly not a film for everybody. Can you handle the adventure?
