Others are hell?

Actually, I don't fully understand it.
In general, Leonardo is acting very seriously, and his acting is very layered; the scenery is beautiful; the music is beautiful; the lines have connotations.
But I don't quite understand what the director is trying to tell us.
I still give him five stars though, because he makes me think.
richard is a boy who is always looking for excitement and a life that is different from others. When he heard about the heavenly beach, he had longing and impulsiveness, but also the fear of facing the unknown, that's why he pulled the French couple and later the two American boys. In my opinion, this kind of sharing is not pure.
After they went through all the hardships to reach the beach, the beautiful beach really lived up to their pursuit. The people in the community were pure, open and beautiful. It seems that they have reached heaven. So naturally, he also became greedy and wanted to keep this simple beauty.
But once people become greedy, they are no longer simple. From when they abandoned their companions bitten by the crocodile, to the female leader sal threatening richard to take back the map by any means, to richard murdering four compatriots with a knife, to finally sal exchanging richard's life for the right to live on the beach. At this time, the so-called paradise has collapsed, and the ugliness of the human heart has gradually turned the holy beach into hell.
But no one can blame anyone. Because each other "reflects each other", you are the mirror of others.
Therefore, the Buddha said that greed is the root of all evil.
Open your heart, stretch your hand, and we make heaven; withdraw your hand, hold him, and it's each other's hell.
However, don't force pure beauty, face gray, put your hands together silently, follow the fate, my heart is kind, the only thing I can ask for at this time.

The Beach quotes

  • Richard: When you develop an infatuation for someone you always find a reason to believe that this is exactly the person for you. It doesn't need to be a good reason. Taking photographs of the night sky, for example. Now, in the long run, that's just the kind of dumb, irritating habit that would cause you to split up. But in the haze of infatuation, it's just what you've been searching for all these years.

  • Sal: Now get some sleep, I may wish to have sex again before we eat breakfast.
