i think the movie be quite good and capture the high of be young in big bad wonderful world . the acting be believable enough for me and and also i think the use of pop ( and not so pop ) music be do well . a for content and the beach raise deep issue on how we deal with our own existence and experience and sanity and commitment to other people represent there do seem to be more noble purpose than just speculate in the emotion of the viewer . although many find fault with the film and i think at very least it deserve credit for the choice of material and and credit for have bring this material to fruition in the form of a hollywood movie .
