A good dark yet exaggerated look at humanities lack of empathy

Rating: 7/10 (22 November 2009)

A good dark yet quite exaggerated look at what happens to people when their quest for rudimentary selfish pleasures exceeds at the expense of one another.
Leonardo DiCaprio(Jack) plays a pleasure seeking tourists who gets whisked away on a journey of fun and adventure and finds an island of like minded pleasure seekers who have escaped the toils of modern day consumerist culture only to witness the very same cancer eating at them ironically leading to their communities demise.
On this journey driven by a quest for euphoric utopia they are made to resemble the fanatic empires of the past , rigidly defending their community in the hope of preserving and maintaining it. Jack buying into it and becomes one of the main defenders of the system.
Jack yet at first being its staunch quite sociopathic and psychopathic defender soon becomes alienated by this community for his weird behavior and soon he becomes becomes instrumental in its demise. Its a story that's got love, betrayal , sex murder and an important answer for this societies illusive quest for Shangrilah(insert your god here eg. money, pleasure,drugs....) that some people are desperately seeking at the terrible cost of human life.
