When infatuated, it's years of seeking romance

A narration by Xiao Li and the heroine when they filmed the starry sky is also suitable for interpreting the obsession with utopia in the film. Travel is to better experience life rather than escape life to pursue physical or spiritual hedonism. The pain of life is as inescapable as the dark side of human nature. Some people's pain lies in the pursuit of human perfection, which is difficult for most people to understand. But when it is replaced by yearning for a peaceful and fulfilling life, the powerlessness of suffering is easy to understand.
There are two polarities in all things, even if "pain" and "evil thoughts" are always present, "pleasure" and "kindness" are eternal.

In terms of a single movie, the first half is good and the second half is crap?

    Blu-ray reset. The island of Thailand in the movie is well chosen, and some of the filming methods are close to landscape documentaries. After re-watching, it still feels beautiful, and the original sound is also good. The translation name of "Psychedelic Beach" may be more suitable. Thailand here is not only a utopian secret, but also a degenerate place where tourists pour their desires (unfortunately, there is no more rehearsal), Boyle asked Xiao Li to perform a tribute to "Apocalypse Now" in the middle (the original film appeared directly in the front). ), but this section has no obvious connection with the previous and previous plots. The utopia here is in a tangle, often caught in the contradiction between modern productivity and supporting moral norms VS primitive lifestyle, and the companion who died after being bitten by a shark caused a moral controversy (unable to get modern medical treatment), sexual morality is still valid on the island (the four-corner relationship between Xiao Li and the heroine and others), they have to go to Thailand, which they despise to buy daily necessities, and the island where they desperately keep the coordinates is actually in the local area Under the control of drug dealers, people who rely on modern society have created an embarrassing third-world utopian corner. This irony is quite obvious, and it is also a good horror element. Either bright or confusing tones are quite in line with the plot

    Heaven is a moment in your life that you can feel when you are part of it. You go through that moment, and heaven is there forever.
