My Rating: 9/10
IMDb Rating: 6.6/10 Rotten Tomatoes Rating: Metacritics Rating: 43/100 My Favorite Quotes 1. "And me? I still believe in paradise. But now at least I know it's not some place you can look for. Because it's not where you go. It's how you feel for a moment in your life when you're a part of something. And if you find that moment... It lasts forever." - Richard 2. "Anywhere you go,desire is desire. The sun cannot bleach it, nor the tide wash it away..." - Richard 3. "I just feel like everyone tries to do something different, but you always wind up doing the same damn thing." - Richard After scrolling for about 20 minutes through Netflix attempting to find a film that was some what eye grabbing. I couldn't really find anything. So my dad recommended this film and I watched it and was pleasantly surprised. So the plot is a, a young man ( Leonardo Dicaprio) wants to forget his past and do something new so he takes a trip to Thailand. When he meets a man who gives him a map to a hidden island. So he grabs two strangers and they go on a voyage to this island where they meet a group of people living their. On paper it appears to be a very basic plot that a 5 year old could write. Although as the movie plays on the film begins to show its true colors. With strong acting from the Leonardo Dicaprio and his entourage of good supporting actors they create a realistic atmosphere. With many different problems arising it creates a fun to watch film. From shark attacks, to sex affairs, to getting food, to keeping the island a secret, and the marihuana field being guarded by a drug organization. A few reasons why I love this movie so much is because it reminds me of Far Cry 3, one might argue this is where they got their idea from. This is also something I have always wanted to do. The setting, acting, plot are what truly stand out. And the overall theme surrounding the film from beginning to end. An amazing movie and a must watch. |
