Fantastic

Rating: 8/10 (13 February 2000)

This was a great movie. To me it sort of resembled Lord of the Flies. I think this is Leonardo's best role since Romeo. It looks like it was more of "him" actually acting in the film. He plays a very stubborn, ignorant, and gutsy guy named Richard who searches for paradise on earth. Soon he realizes that no matter how perfect a situation is, human error will always corrupt it. Danny Boyle's intense camera sequences really help to project the appropriate feeling for certain parts in the movie. I loved it. It really made me realize how crazy our lifestyle is.
