real paradise

Xanadu, a place that many people dream of. The male protagonist in the city in the film also yearns for a paradise. Finally, after going through danger, he found a small island in a remote place in the east. After escaping the pursuit, he and his companions finally arrived at Xanadu.
The picturesque beach, the harmonious group of people, everything seemed so good at first.
But the existence of human beings has human nature, social relations, and politics. Everyone has desires, and there is bound to be a conflict between everyone's desires. As long as there is human-to-human relationship, there will be jealousy, jealousy, strife. Only in harmony, that is only in the imagination.
When shark attacks turn picturesque beaches into terrifying places, it's not what you think. To survive, you have to work hard and you have to fight danger. Nature does not give you gifts for granted, and survival is not an easy task.
Where I wanted to find myself, I lost myself there. The reality is not always what you imagined it to be, and you can only understand this truth after experiencing it.

The Beach quotes

  • Etienne: Oh fuck! Richard! Fuck!

    Richard: What?

    Etienne: I saw a fin!

    Richard: What? Are you joking?

    Etienne: No, no. A fin!

    Richard: OK, a shark fin?

    Etienne: I don't know! Just a fin! Over there, about a hundred meters.

    Richard: Well, was it big?

    Etienne: Yes.

    Richard: Well, what the fuck do you expect me to do about it?

    Etienne: Nothing! I just thought you should know!

    Richard: Well, to be honest, Etienne, I'd rather you hadn't told me!

    Etienne: I'm sorry!

    Richard: Well, it's a bit fuckin' late now, isn't it?

  • Keaty: [Keaty interrupts Richard whilst watching Francoise and pretending to read his book] One: she's just teasin' ya.

    Richard: What are you talking about?

    Keaty: Two: you don't speak French. Three: he speaks French. In fact, even better than that, four: he IS French. Five: he's much better at football - sorry, sorry, SOCCER - than you. And six: you're a bit strange, Rich. Some girls like that in a man, but not usually the sort of girls you wanna be with.

    Richard: Is that right?

    Keaty: Come on, your last girlfriend chucked ya, there must've been a reason.

    Richard: It was not my fault!

    Keaty: And seven: look at - look at your thumbs, man! They're well defined!

    Richard: Wh-what is that supposed to mean?

    Keaty: You play a lot of video games! That is a powerful index of incompatabilty.

    Richard: Why do I get the feeling like you're trying to tell me something?

    Keaty: You haven't a hope mate - not a bleedin' chicken's chance in Thailand. Know what I mean?

    Richard: Thank you.

    Keaty: So, enjoy the beach and cut the bullshit.

    Richard: [softly] Thank you very much.

    Keaty: It's my pleasure.
