A great escape

Rating: 10/10 (31 May 2004)

The Beach is my favourite movie of all time. I say half because I know that people expect me to love a picture with greater cinematic presence and half because it is the one movie that I watch to truly escape from my reality. Richard is the one character that has the chance to do what i have always wanted to do, get lost in the world, and find himself somewhere he never expected. Add to that the beautiful romance between him and Virginie, and you have the perfect story. I love to watch this movie for the great attention to detail by Danny Boyle in the picturesque settings matched with the perfect score. I love this movie in a way that is only fitting to me and I can understand that others may not feel the same way. It's just one of those movie that really hit me in a special way, can you dig it?
