- When filming "Beach", the crew accidentally destroyed the natural environment of the local island and was protested by local residents. Leonardo created the Environmental Protection Foundation and embarked on the journey of environmental protection.
- The local government sued the court in 1999 for destroying the island environment during the filming. The High Court of Thailand issued a ruling in 2006, requiring the producer of "Beach" to compensate the local environmental damage caused by the filming, and to restore the original appearance of the damaged beach.
- The two beaches of Phi Phi and Phuket filmed in the film in Thailand were both affected by the Indian tsunami on December 26, 2004.
- The real beach is not actually surrounded by mountains and separated from the sea, but there is a huge gap between two large rocks. So the "rockery" that appears in the movie now was added during post-production.
- During the filming of the film, a shipwreck accident nearly killed several crew members including director Danny Boyle and Leonardo DiCaprio. Fortunately, these people eventually "escaped from the dead".
- Ivan McGregor was the first person selected by director Danny Boyle to play Richard. But the film crew hoped to use Leonardo DiCaprio and let him audition before Boyle intervened. For this reason, McGregor was very annoyed by the film company, and there were rumors that he would no longer speak to Boyle.

The amount of content that Danny Paul wanted to express has exceeded the limit that the plot can carry. In the second half of the film, the director and Xiao Lizi fell into a state of excessive mania and confusion. This kind of sociological experiment carried out in a special environment should be seen as an observer quietly and from the perspective of God, rather than incite the audience's emotions with a thousand twists and turns of soundtrack, unless the director has been in the beginning from the beginning. Dominate the finale, just like this film.

Backpacker movies should be supported. That year, Xiao Lizi was still so handsome and in good shape!

Richard: Trust me, it's paradise. This is where the hungry come to feed. For mine is a generation that circles the globe and searches for something we haven't tried before. So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, you know what? It's probably worth it.

Etienne: One kilometer.
Françoise: Two.
Etienne: Richard?
Richard: I dunno; I'm American.
Etienne: So?
Richard: I think in miles, not kilometers.
Etienne: Okay, so how many miles do you think it is?
Richard: I dunno, but it looks like a long way away.
