And when I saw his superb performances in "Blood Diamond", "The Aviator", "Gangs of New York", "The Departed" and this year's "Shutter Island", I believe that the future world film industry will give him a Very highly rated.
The beach is a utopian story, a realistic version of a utopia, a utopia that must be tragic, because any ideal crystal cannot withstand the hammer of reality, and any seemingly beautiful and indulgent bubble will eventually die of ugly humanity. .
A group of young people, under the protection of armed cannabis growers, build a utopian semi-self-sufficient village on a remote island. People can have fun and live their lives here.
The protagonist led two young people through a map that was unintentionally obtained, broke through the threat of the gun that protected the marijuana, and jumped down a high waterfall to this paradise.
So the story unfolds in this seemingly beautiful fantasy land.
Fantasy is called fantasy because once he is put into the facts, he vanishes.
We know that as long as there are more than two people, there must be selfish desires, calculations, conflicts of interest and intrigues - "evil comes from people just as honey comes from bees", which is an inescapable weakness of human nature.
Therefore, on this beach, which seems to have only passion, happiness and enjoyment, all the hidden human beings cannot get the dirty things on the table, and are pushed out of the sea by the tides of day and night.
So, in order to keep their secrets, they use sex as a bargaining chip;
so, in order to preserve the unbridled indulgence of the beach, they indifferently let their wounded companions die rather than take them to the hospital.
So, in order to prevent outsiders from coming to the beach, he trapped and killed his friends.
Humanity is so fragile in the face of the allure of indulgent, irresponsible pleasure that in the end this seemingly perfect beach falls apart.
As a movie with a beautiful island as the background of the story, the depth of the beach and the unique perspective of the theme should be said to be a rare anomaly.
Utopia is the greatest lie of mankind, it cannot stand the test of time and humanity. Lies have two purposes: one is to avoid suffering, and the other is to seek pleasure.
Fantasy is nothing more than an anesthetic for our life. It makes us think we can get or possess something in the painful life. In fact, we will return to reality sooner or later. In this battle of life, you can't escape, you can't win, you can't even win. Surrender - and no one cares how much you suffer.
No matter what you face, fantasy is just a momentary false pleasure. When you wake up, what you have to face is nothing more than a cold, cruel, and unfeeling life
persuit of pleasure.
