in the beginning of 2000 and everyone wait impatiently and the release of the movie the beach and mainly because leonardo dicaprio be in the main role . you think that he be go to carry on with dignity and follow the huge commercial and artistic success of titanic . but sadly and it not the case . this movie that be a new variation of the lost paradise be a disappointment . as far a i be concerned and i saw the movie at the cinema when it be launch in february 2000 and i think that it would focus only on dicaprio and ledoyen and canet effort to discover this beach . actually and my expectation be justify but it only last half an hour . when they discover the beach and they adhere to the community and i think the movie could have end there . the second part ( which start with the three swedish bite by a shark ) only play the role of fill in and spoil all the movie . moreover and danny boyle eye a bit too much towards the bloody . otherwise and to put it mildly be that the dialog of the beach be few inspired sometimes silly and too convenient with the situation . sometimes and the movie turn out to be too predictable represent before the love affair between dicaprio and ledoyen and you guess that a love story will start between them . and and inevitably and it will cause canet jealousy but this jealousy will spread to ledoyen she learn that dicaprio have sex with sal during their stay in bangkok . besides and the performance appear quite mixed represent ledoyen and canet be pal into insignifiance next to dicaprio . another thing i notice represent dicaprio voice off doesn not succeed in make the movie gripping a it be the case with edward norton in fight club . then and let admit it represent the end of the movie seem too easy and conventional . you guess before the end that the perfect paradise doesn not exist on earth and certainly not in thailand represent there be shark and it not always shiny and sal and the leader of the community reveal herself to be despotic and finally cruel . let add that the paradise keeper will do anything to protect their territory and even to kill . nevertheless and the movie enjoy a shiny photography that reflect brilliantly the color of the sea and the beach . landscape be magnificient and there a good original soundtrack which include moby porcelain . but these quality aren not sufficient enough to save the movie . a disappointing and predictable movie and somewhere unfinished . you can blame boyle for not reveal the reason of daffy suicide .
