00:00Hello and welcome to Movie Chapter.
00:03Today I will show you an adventure, drama, romance film from 2000, titled The Beach.
00:09Spoilers ahead.
00:10Watch out and take care.
00:12Richard arrives in Thailand looking for something more exciting.
00:16He is staying in a rundown hotel, and when he can't get into his room, a girl, Francoise,
00:22who is staying in the next room with her boyfriend Etienne, helps him out.
00:26As he lies in bed, he hears them doing the business through the thin walls.
00:30Then he is interrupted by a madman from the other room, Daffy.
00:34He tells Richard about a secluded beach on a secret, forbidden island.
00:39He does not believe such a place exists, but when he returns the next day, he finds a map
00:44pinned to his door.
00:46He goes to check on Daffy, but finds that he has taken his own life.
00:50After talking to the police, he shows his neighbors the map, and tells them about the secret island.
00:56They all seem excited to go where no tourist does, and Etienne figures out the logistics.
01:02They travel 500 miles in one day and end up on a beach somewhere.
01:06Etienne points out that the island is a national park and off limits, but they can get to a
01:11nearby island and swim from there.
01:14Once again, Richard cannot get into his room, because this time he lost his key, but the two
01:19surfers next to him invite him to join them.
01:22They talk about the mythical island with a perfect beach with pure white sand and crystal
01:27clear water, but think it's just an urban myth.
01:30Before Richard continues his journey the next day, he leaves them a copy of the map.
01:35They take a boat to their second to last destination and camp through the night.
01:40Richard is awakened by Francoise taking pictures of the night sky.
01:44He says that there's probably a planet like theirs somewhere in the infinite universe, with
01:48another version of them photographing back.
01:51She says it's the usual pretentious crap Americans always say to French girls to sleep
01:56with them.
01:57The next day, the trio tries to estimate the distance they have to swim, thinking they won't
02:02make it if it's too far, but Richard exclaims, if we don't try, we will never know, and excitedly
02:08jumps in.
02:10After a long, exhausting swim, they finally reach the shore.
02:14They head inland, and find a massive hemp plantation.
02:18Richard notices a monkey tied by a string to a sleeping man with an AK-47.
02:23The monkey wakes him up and the three hide in the field.
02:26A bunch of other guards show up and start looking for them.
02:29The monkey finds them, but Richard sprays it with water, and they manage to get out unnoticed.
02:35After this, the couple starts getting second thoughts, but Richard is determined to find
02:39the paradise on earth, so they follow.
02:42The group heads downstream and reaches a waterfall over a massive cliff.
02:47The boys argue about how to get down, but Francoise just jumps, and encourages the others,
02:52so they follow shortly after.
02:55They cheer and shout, because of the exhilarating experience, but are suddenly interrupted by
02:59a man named Kiti, clapping.
03:02He says it took him an hour, to muster up the courage to jump.
03:06He then takes them to the village.
03:08They expected a couple of passing travelers staying in caves, but find a thriving community,
03:13that actually lives here long term, and realize they weren't even invited.
03:18They are taken to the leader of the community, Sal, and show her the map Duffy made.
03:23She tells them that Duffy was one of the founders of the community, but he went insane.
03:28She explains that they value their privacy, and asks if they made a map for anyone else.
03:33They all deny it, and she seems satisfied, and burns the map.
03:38The trio is taken to the beach at a lagoon with crystal clear blue water, enveloped by
03:42cliffs.
03:43They take in its beauty, thrilled that they have actually reached their destination, and
03:48it is as magical as described.
03:50That evening as they are winding down, Richard feels that he has finally found a place where
03:55he belongs.
03:56The next day Sal explains how the community works.
03:59They grow their own food and build their own houses, and are almost self-sufficient.
04:05They only have to sail back to civilization once in a while to trade some grass for rice.
04:10It was agreed with the farmers on the other side of the island, that they would not be
04:14bothered, as long as more people did not come to the island, and their hemp was not stolen,
04:20so they grow their own.
04:22The three Swedes teach them spear fishing and Richard gets the hang of it pretty quick.
04:27The community has a range of sporting and leisure activities for all tastes.
04:31The only person Richard dislikes is Sal's boyfriend Bugs, their carpenter, because he
04:37mocks Richard for being a freeloader.
04:39The community has a tradition for the last arrived member to tattoo the next.
04:44It really was paradise, but there was something else he desired.
04:48One day, as Richard is staring at Francoise, Kitty comes up, and tells him all the reasons
04:54he can never be with her.
04:55Shortly after, one of the guys, says he wants to go to the mainland to see a dentist, but
05:00Sal denies it.
05:02Richard understands that sometimes people have to endure a little pain to keep their secret.
05:08They pull his tooth out with pliers.
05:10That night, Francoise invites Richard for a walk on the beach.
05:14She confesses that she likes him a lot, but it's difficult for her to spend time with him,
05:19because she's with Etienne.
05:21They go for a swim in the glowing water and start making out.
05:25They promise each other to keep it a secret.
05:27Not long after, Etienne confronts Richard about his relationship with his girlfriend.
05:32He tries to play dumb, but Etienne says everybody already knows about it.
05:37Even though he is heartbroken, he makes it clear that he will not stand in their way,
05:42because he just wants her to be happy, even if it is with Richard.
05:46On one of these days it's pouring rain.
05:49Christo explains that it is difficult to catch fish, because of the poor visibility.
05:53The rain can last for weeks, and sometimes they get really hungry.
05:58Richard decides to try his luck, grabs Christo's gear and swims out into the lagoon.
06:03When he turns around, he sees the other members panicking, but can't hear them.
06:08He then notices a shark fin, and frantically starts to swim to shore, but the shark chases
06:13after him.
06:15The scene cuts back to the community house, and here accounts how he managed to overpower
06:19the shark.
06:21Everyone cheers him on, but Bugs is not impressed, because it was just a baby shark.
06:26Richard puts him in his place, though and they go to sleep.
06:30Some time later, Sal informs the community that their rice has been contaminated by a fungus,
06:35which means that someone will have to travel to mainland for a shopping trip.
06:40For some reason, nobody volunteers so she asks Richard to accompany her.
06:44He seems hesitant, but he isn't really given a choice.
06:48One by one, the members give him their shopping list, consisting mainly of snacks, batteries,
06:54and hygiene items, but also a bunch of other things they can't come by here.
06:58Lastly, Bugs comes up, grabs him by the balls, and tells him to keep his hands to himself, and
07:04the little Richard in his pants.
07:06He had been looking forward to the air conditioning and cold beer, but when they got there he remembered
07:11all the reasons he wanted to leave in the first place.
07:15He also understood why Sal was trying so hard to keep the beach a secret, because if they
07:20didn't, it would soon turn into this.
07:22After they finish their shopping, he and Sal sit in a pub.
07:26They are interrupted by the surfer dudes and their girlfriends.
07:29Richard is introduced as the man with the map and Sal hears this.
07:33The surfer group seems super excited to visit the island, so Richard tells them that the
07:38map was fake, and the beach does not exist.
07:42They don't believe him, thinking he's just holding out on them.
07:45This infuriates Richard, so he lashes out at them.
07:49Afterwards, Sal asks if he made them a copy of the map, but Richard, not wanting to confess,
07:55says that he only mentioned where he was going, and they only saw it once.
07:59She breathes a sigh of relief, thinking they don't have it in them to get there without
08:03a map.
08:04Sal explains that she'll keep it a secret, goes to play pool with a friend, and instructs
08:09Richard to warm the bed.
08:11Later, they perform some pair yoga exercises.
08:15It was payment for her silence, and his ticket back to the island.
08:19When they return, Richard hands out all the orders to the grateful members.
08:24He brings Françoise a disposable camera, but she asks, if anything happened on the rice
08:29run, because people have been saying, that Sal is attracted to him.
08:34Not wanting to spoil the moment, Richard promises her, that nothing happened, and they return to
08:39normal.
08:40Françoise takes a picture of the group.
08:43One day, while Richard is lying in a hammock playing a game, he hears panicked screams.
08:48When he goes outside, he finds that the Swedes have suffered a shark attack.
08:53One of them is missing a chunk of his leg, and has a bite wound on his torso.
08:58He follows the trail to the beach, and finds Christo with a bite in his leg, gasping in pain.
09:04He is brought inside, where Sal offers to take him to the hospital, as long as he doesn't
09:09reveal their location.
09:11He begs for them to bring help here because he is now terrified of water, and doesn't
09:15want to go anywhere near it.
09:17Sal denies his request, and tells him to either go, or stay here and take his chances.
09:23The members pay their respects to Christo's friend and bury him.
09:27After the funeral, they tried going back to normal, but Christo's constant painful cries
09:32agitated the group.
09:34Richard ponders that after a major tragedy, one should either recover or die, so everyone
09:39can say what a good guy you were and move on.
09:42It's the hanging around in between that really irritates people.
09:45The group decides to take Christo to a tent in the woods, ignoring Etienne's pleas.
09:51Shortly after, the community went back to normal.
09:54Out of sight, out of mind.
09:56Sometime later, Sal takes Richard to the other side of the island, and shows him the surfers
10:01holding a map.
10:03She reiterates that the farmers told them no more people, but now it looks like they are
10:07handing out tour guides.
10:09Sal is furious, and orders him to be here every day until they arrive to turn them away, and
10:14get the map.
10:16Richard points out, that they could be there for weeks, but she doesn't care.
10:20That night, Francoise comes and slaps him.
10:23Sal told everyone what happened on their trip.
10:26He knew it would happen, but was crushed nonetheless.
10:29As days pass, he finds new ways to entertain himself.
10:33He starts sneaking around the farmers and observing their daily activities.
10:38He pretends to be in a video game.
10:40The longer he stayed away from the community, the less he missed them.
10:44He found new players, even if they didn't know it yet.
10:48He starts messing with the farmers.
10:50The forest is his territory, the mission is to retrieve the map, farmers are his defenders
10:55and the surfers are the invaders.
10:57He slowly starts losing his sanity, and gets visions about Daffy.
11:02One day Kidi comes to check on him, and finds him completely out of it.
11:06He tells Richard to pull himself together, because he can't keep running around in the
11:11dark, not talking to anyone.
11:13However, he does not get through to Richard.
11:16He starts making traps in the woods, still having visions of Daffy.
11:21Daffy led the way, showed him the truth.
11:24Richard won't let him down.
11:25He starts sneaking around the farmers' homes, touching their weapons while they sleep.
11:30He takes one of the guys' headbands.
11:33The day has come.
11:34The surfers approach on a raft and soon reach the shore.
11:38Richard watches their every move.
11:40When they reach the hemp field, they think they're in heaven and start dancing around
11:44and singing.
11:45This attracts the attention of the guards, who approach with weapons drawn.
11:50They notice the guards, and tell them it was a mistake coming here, and they will leave
11:54immediately.
11:55When that does not work, they offer them money.
11:58The situation escalates, and when a surfer approaches one of the farmers, he pulls the
12:03trigger.
12:04Panic breaks out and two more are shot, leaving only one girl.
12:08Richard gets into position and hisses at her, as soon as she reaches the end of the field.
12:13This causes Richard to pause for a moment and he finally seems to snap back to reality.
12:19One of the farmers runs after him, but gets caught in the trap.
12:23Richard reaches the waterfall.
12:25Oh, there goes gravity.
12:27Richard gets to the camp where they celebrate six years living here.
12:31Sal makes a toast to many more years to come.
12:34As Richard lurks in the shadows, he can't remember the person he once was, and thinks
12:39he won't find him again, as long as he stays on this island.
12:43He intercepts Francoise and tries to persuade her to leave with him.
12:47She takes him to the tent, and Richard tries to convince the three of them to leave, but
12:52Etienne can't leave Christo here.
12:54He has gangrene in his leg and it's spreading.
12:57Meanwhile the party is going hard.
13:00Richard tells them to wait for him at the boat, implying that he will take care of the
13:03Christo situation.
13:05They run off, but the farmers intercept them.
13:09Richard puts Christo out of his misery.
13:11He suffered because they refused to let anything spoil their fun.
13:15When Richard leaves the tent he's knocked out.
13:18The party is interrupted by the farmers.
13:20The senior farmer explains his frustrations about more people coming here with maps, threatening
13:26his livelihood and ability to send money to his family.
13:30He orders them to leave the island, and everyone but Sal agrees.
13:34Richard tries to convince her, but she yells at him to be quiet because it's all his fault
13:39anyway.
13:40The farmer realizes that he was the one sneaking around, playing with their guns, and also leading
13:45new people here.
13:47He hands Sal a revolver with a single bullet, and gives her the option to stay if she kills
13:51Richard.
13:52Bugs pins him to the pole.
13:55Richard begs for mercy, but Sal is determined.
13:58He says that, unlike with Christo, this time everyone will see what it takes to keep their
14:03paradise going.
14:04She says they can take it and pulls the trigger, but it's a blank.
14:09Richard starts laughing.
14:10The senior farmer smirks as the community crumbles and its members leave.
14:15Everyone except Sal left on a raft and went back to their normal lives.
14:20Richard is at an internet cafe checking his email and finds the group photo from Francoise.
14:25Paradise is not the place you go to, but a moment in life when you feel that you belong.
14:31Once you find it, it lasts forever.
14:33The end.
14:34The end.
