three people in the title "The Beach" came to a utopian world, the so-called "Xanadu", because of a coincidence. There are a group of escapist people living here. They have different languages, different skin colors, and different religions, but they all have trust and dependence on this utopian world. They stay away from the crowd and build a spiritual world of their own. At the same time, they exclude outsiders. They try to keep their communication with the outside world to a minimum. They just sell marijuana and buy some necessary things. They fish and build houses, and their lives look really good.
But in reality, this kind of life exists. This is a balance, but a very fragile balance. It is like a single biological chain. Once there is a flaw in one of the links, the entire food chain will collapse. First of all, someone was attacked by Oh Shark, one was killed and one was seriously injured, and for the injured, in order to maintain the secrecy of Utopia, they did not allow him to receive treatment; then, the balance of Utopia was taken by several foreign travelers. This utopia faced the possibility of disintegration due to the leakage of the map, so the interior began to disintegrate, and some people left; the incident became more and more serious, the traveler was killed, and the relationship with the farmer on the island deteriorated. This utopia stands at the crossroads. And Sal's shot finally disintegrated people's illusions about utopia, and Utopia disintegrated. This utopia, which was supposed to represent freedom and equality, was almost dyed red with blood, which was too different from the utopia that everyone expected.
Utopia disintegrated, all people returned to reality, only Sal stuck to this dream and still did not leave. Just wondering, is this really a paradise? The ancients explained it this way: "The big ones are hidden in the dynasty, the middle ones are hidden in the city, and the small ones are hidden in the wild." Therefore, the utopia they built was just a choice that was separated from reality. In fact, they really did not Finding Xanadu, but in the end, Richard's feeling after seeing that photo is the real Xanadu.
What the film wants to say is the disillusionment of an illusory utopia that once existed in a corner of the earth, but finally disappeared. At the same time, a real utopia is established, which has never existed in reality, but remains in people's hearts.
In fact, everyone has a beach and a paradise in their hearts.
