The Beach (2000)
If you travel, you'll understand
When you travel, you are surrounded by people. Amidst all that foreign intrigue, you are truly alone - an opportunity to be truthful to your instincts.
When you are young and you travel, recklessness and the need to experience drive almost all your decision, well other than budgetary constraints.
It is therefore quite truthful at times to relate to the character who is in search of this ultimate freedom, a place where all your worldly obligations are suspended and irrelevant.
The movie is an irony. Not only externally, that though it depicts the end purity of nature when fox's being sued for environmental damage, but also that any man-found paradise is not free, but with a price and in this case, could be the ultimate price.
I truly enjoyed the movie especially at times the sparks of life's insight and moments of traveller's consciousness that when you are there, in that destination, IT becomes reality and no longer are you foreign and problems arise regardless.
Though the romance is distracting, Etienne, Canet's portrayal is quite the eye candy.
Definitely a watch, but may not appeal to all tastes.
Definitely, Maybe (2008)
Sweet and Charming
What do you expect! It's labeled romance, it's aired on valentines, and it involves a deadly charming man with many women. Those who are looking for action and unexpected twists aren't really in the right theater.
Everybody knows how romantic movies end. They get together and kiss and live happily ever after.
We are really there to watch the "how," and this one certainly offers something a little bit different. Let the movie carry your emotions and stop judging critically, you are there to relax, not to work. If you try, I guarantee you it will worth your time and, walk out with a different taste on love and choice.
