1. "Backpacker Culture" - Realistic Exodus and Search for Meaning
Several key words can be extracted from the introduction of the original film novel the beach: "backpacker", "tourism", "backpacker community". (it is the story of a young backpacker's search for a legendary, idyllic and isolated beach untouched by tourism, and his time there in its small, international community of backpackers. )
“My name is Richard. So what else do you need to know? Stuff about my family, or where I'm from? None of that matters. Not once you cross the ocean and cut yourself loose, looking for something more beautiful, something more exciting and yes, I admit, something more dangerous.”
The opening remarks show Richard's abandonment of the background - giving up everything to find something he doesn't know what it is, in short something different from reality, beautiful, not so "banal".
"There is a beach, understand? it is too beautiful, too much ample too much sensation, I try to forget but I can't control it. She is on an island, the island is a real perfection I am just talking but that's nice. it is totally secure totally forbidden, nobody can ever go down. A few people went there once upon a time, people with ideal, not normal tourists, fucking
The first description of the beach came from Duffy. His description of the beach was "perfect" and "forbidden", and his own positioning was "ideal" and "different from ordinary tourists"; but he suddenly He said, "Have ideals? They are all parasites! Greedy and stupid!", saying that he asked his friends to leave in order to protect the beach, but they would not listen.
"I just want to leave again. I understand more clearly that why we are so special, why we should keep the secret, or sooner or later, they will turn it into this. Cancers, parasites, eating up the whole fucking world."
Going to the main island for rice re-emphasizes the dislike of real life. And real life is "getting worse".
