What has been imprinted in my mind is actually that painful moan...

In the summer of 2007, I went to Thailand, Bangkok and Pattaya, so I BT this "Beach" when I was preparing the materials before the trip... But fortunately, I will watch it after I come back!
The first thing that comes to mind now is: that painful moan...
Maybe everyone who travels by themselves always has a kind of excited expectation for the unknown destination, as well as an indescribable sense of fear, American youth. Richard came to Bangkok alone, looking for the paradise in his heart - the beach...
He actually found it!
However, just like the saying "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes", where there are people, there is war. Richard gradually discovered that this so-called paradise is just a small world full of self-righteous power and deceit. So, He couldn't wait to prove himself, to take back what was his own...
He found his paradise, and then, single-handedly destroyed it...
I remember most of all moaning and moaning every day after one of their members was bitten by a shark Repeatedly, and became a burden to everyone... So these friends who used to watch and help each other suddenly became so disgusted with him... For personal interests, betray the former covenant... I
was deeply touched when I read this story. : Because not long before this self-guided tour, I just read a story on the Internet that is said to be oral by a netizen. It is said that in April or May a few years ago, four donkey friends in an outdoor donkey altar organized an outdoor cross-country privately. Knowing that they happened to encounter a flash flood, and they were lucky to escape, they found that all the rhetoric on the Internet had turned into empty words, and the ugly human nature: selfishness, greed, power, cowardice... In the face of hunger, injury, food and clothing and other issues, they were exposed one by one. The side that I usually try to hide on the Internet is shown at a critical moment...
It's really chilling!

The Beach quotes

  • Etienne: Oh fuck! Richard! Fuck!

    Richard: What?

    Etienne: I saw a fin!

    Richard: What? Are you joking?

    Etienne: No, no. A fin!

    Richard: OK, a shark fin?

    Etienne: I don't know! Just a fin! Over there, about a hundred meters.

    Richard: Well, was it big?

    Etienne: Yes.

    Richard: Well, what the fuck do you expect me to do about it?

    Etienne: Nothing! I just thought you should know!

    Richard: Well, to be honest, Etienne, I'd rather you hadn't told me!

    Etienne: I'm sorry!

    Richard: Well, it's a bit fuckin' late now, isn't it?

  • Keaty: [Keaty interrupts Richard whilst watching Francoise and pretending to read his book] One: she's just teasin' ya.

    Richard: What are you talking about?

    Keaty: Two: you don't speak French. Three: he speaks French. In fact, even better than that, four: he IS French. Five: he's much better at football - sorry, sorry, SOCCER - than you. And six: you're a bit strange, Rich. Some girls like that in a man, but not usually the sort of girls you wanna be with.

    Richard: Is that right?

    Keaty: Come on, your last girlfriend chucked ya, there must've been a reason.

    Richard: It was not my fault!

    Keaty: And seven: look at - look at your thumbs, man! They're well defined!

    Richard: Wh-what is that supposed to mean?

    Keaty: You play a lot of video games! That is a powerful index of incompatabilty.

    Richard: Why do I get the feeling like you're trying to tell me something?

    Keaty: You haven't a hope mate - not a bleedin' chicken's chance in Thailand. Know what I mean?

    Richard: Thank you.

    Keaty: So, enjoy the beach and cut the bullshit.

    Richard: [softly] Thank you very much.

    Keaty: It's my pleasure.
