heaven or hell

It's a movie I watched a long time ago, Leonardo's "The Beach". Although the film was boycotted by the Thai people for destroying the ecological environment during filming, it also allowed Leonardo to embark on the path of ecological protection. The beach in the film is a paradise. The lucky ones who find it indulge in it. They want to be isolated from the world but cannot do without the necessities of modern society. Resources are limited, but people outside want to come in, people inside want to. Exclusive, "not with outsiders". Contradictions and desires have awakened the most primitive and savage demons in the hearts of people who are obsessed and fanatical about this land. Whether this beach is heaven or hell, I only know that as long as there are people, it will not be heaven. People probably shouldn't be too addicted to any kind of thing, too much will hurt. It is impossible for people to exist without society. No matter what kind of "heaven", where there are people is society, where there are people, there is desire, and people's desires can generate wisdom and also give birth to demons. My talent and learning are shallow, and my thoughts are not deep enough to write a good film review. What I feel may only be a small part of the film's thoughts, but it is worth learning in life.

The Beach quotes

  • Daffy: Pay them in dollars and fuck their daughters.

  • Richard: You hope, and you dream. But you never believe that something's gonna happen for you. Not like it does in the movies. And when it actually does, you want it to feel different, more visceral, more real. I was waiting for it to hit me, but it just wouldn't happen. The police were pissed cuz he was traveling under a false passport. But they didn't ask me about the map, so - I didn't tell 'em.
