The pursuit of pleasure and paradise...

Rating: Null/10 (4 October 2011)

This is a pretty good movie by Danny Boyle, I like this guy as a director as for Leo. Well I just wasn't fond of the guy as an actor at this time. Anyways back to the movie, I enjoyed watching some of the human thoughts and emotions that is portrayed in this movie. It's a exquisite film that makes some interesting points about people and life. Although I wasn't fond of DiCaprio as an actor at this time, his emotions was mostly believable in this. And the characters emotions is very very important for this movie. I am not sure if Leo was just playing Leo, which it seemed likely but it was believable. The plot is about a guy trying to move away from the life of just originality and problems people face during regular basis which I can relate with, since people want that sense of adventure. And when he finds the opportunity for a place of paradise he takes it, but he is in for more than what he bargained for. And no this is not a horror flick but more about human nature. The situation isn't all that believable but the some of the human nature aspect of it all is believable. So this is a character driven movie, and there is bunch of characters in this movie but for the most part you will no care for any of them. There is almost zero attachment to the characters in this. Even if the start of the movie went in a interesting direction the movie seemed to get dragged out after an hour an 30 minutes into it, although it's the climax. And also seemed a bit far-fetched as it went along. It just seemed a bit drastic and a bit out of nowhere. It's alright movie but when it was finished it just didn't leave that big of an impact and made you think.
6.5/10
