although this film have be trash terribly and there be some of u who actually really like this film . maybe it the traveller in me and but this film about the search to find and and create the ultimate paradise and be actually quite affect . from personal experience and i find the colony of backpacker that live in the beach community to be very realistic . i have meet these people . di caprio be actually quite good a a frat boy kind of american and swinton be great a the community dictatorial leader . don not see this film expect a repeat of the book . few film be as good a the book and we all know that . but for those of you with a traveller heart and for those of you who dream of find the perfect paradise and i would say this film be an exotic and refreshing and worth your time . sure there be some part and like the video game sequence where richard go all lord of the fly that be a bit ridiculous . but all in all and it escapist and rather sad and examine the downfall of a paradise .
