I give this amazing,top adventure 10/10,a definite'must see'

Rating: 10/10 (5 April 2001)

I give this film an excellent 10/10 because it is exciting, exhilarating and enjoyable from start to finish. In a lot of films you can usually guess what will probably happen next, which could be boring. In The Beach, anything could happen from start to finish, and it is full of unexpected twists and turns which keep you interested & 'on the edge of your seat' all the way through. Leonardo Dicaprio plays Richard as the leading actor, a backpacker desperately searching for an escape from the frustrating, stressing hustle and bustle of the city, trying to find a place free from trouble, his own idealistic paradise. Will he succeed? And is there really such a place free from worries?......... Dicaprio shows off his great talent once more in this film and no-one could suit this part better. It is set in Thailand, the main location on a beautiful island off the coastline. This wonderful place is a perfect setting for the film and lets the imagination run wild in the possibility of being in paradise. The strange thing is, it is real. This is why The Beach influences many people to travel across the world to experience not only Thailand, but other places, to suit their own 'ideal paradise'. Another reason to watch it is that The Beach also has many top tunes on its soundtrack, including the best-selling single of 2000, 'Pure Shores' by All Saints.
