The Beach (2000)


I love this movie, it's not perfect, like it's central subject
matter, but it pretty good. Like every other Boyle movie, its a
grower. Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, Life Less, this, 28 days later
and Sunshine, they're all growers. Whether you like, love or lothe
them the first time, they always get better. Why, because Boyle's movies are multi layered and every time you watch them you will pick up on something new.

The Beach is no exemption. I recently chatted to one of our core clientele about Mr Boyle, he claims to know him personally. Not the biggest fan to put it slightly but having said that I think he may have had an axe. He was very hung up on the environmental impact that this film had on "the beach". Well, if that is the case, then doh! But hey, who knows. Honestly, who knows. All I heard about it was what was reported in the newspapers when the film was released, so yeah, who knows.
