Good drama

Rating: 4/10 (8 March 2000)

Danny Boyle's The Beach is well done because it showcases a pacifist anarchist society (to me that means that its a society that gets along and does whatever they want to do) enclosed in a beautiful beach. It shows what happens in the society, how paradise can be achieved, and how Leonardo DiCaprio is OK after all. DiCaprio gives his best performance since What's Eating Gilbert Grape, and though I have never been much of a fan of DiCaprio's (AT ALL) I found his teaming up with Trainspotting director Boyle was a good bet. With a slick cameo by Robert Carlyle, this film gets good in my book by skipping all the drama Titanc had, and going straight to the good old fashioned crazy drama.
