movie review : The Beach.

Cast : Leonardo DiCaprio, Virginie Ledoyen, Guillaume Canet, Robert Carlyle.





Director : Danny Boyle




"Couple f things you've to remember.

1 : You've to stay calm &

2 : No fear..

.. because the sharks.. you see, the sharks can sense that fear with the ease that they can smell blood. So, this is unusual. It's jaw wide open, row upon row f these razor sharp teeth, it's tail fin sweeping back n forth lyk it's surged in for the kill. I swear to God
my whole lyf flashed before my eyes, really. I had nothing to offer other than pure reflex
& mankind's basic pride for survival. It's lyk telling the shark 'no, I will not die today'.
The shark knew it, I knew it".



These kinda lines & the intensity with which DiCaprio delivers gives you goosebumps, man.







DiCaprio travels to Thailand on a vacation & the first thing he hear is "Like every
tourist, you want it all . . . to be safe, just like America". So, he drinks snake blood
just to show that he's ready for the new things that Thailand has to offer.
The guy living next door shows a map f an island to him which is not listed in normal
maps. DiCaprio decides to take a hike with the 2french folks (Virginie Ledoyen and
Guilluame Canet). Through a shark-infested waters & marijuana farms they reach the
hidden island also called 'The Paradise'.






DiCaprio does show his talents with great acting, dialogue-delivery & charming the young
french women. The part where he treats himself as a video game player & acts like one
is amazing.









P.S. great camera angles, good story, great locations.. worth a watch. A hint f drugs,
adult language, nudity and sex.
