I'm having a presentation of this film in front of my class in 2 days and i've seen it many times, this film is mainly about being young, taking chances, finding yourself, finding the meaning of life and finding out that what looks perfect isn't always perfect when you get to know it
@johndutchcain187 It's still worth watching, even though at the end Richard gets the travelers that he met at the starting (pot-heads) killed by the Asian drug dealers, and then causes the rest to have to leave the island.
i never read the book. But i love this movie. The cinematography was superb. I was immediately dropped into Thailand with a feeling a backpacker exploring total freedom. To me its a feel good type of movie, It leaves you off with the sense that life is precious, enjoy it and explore it while we can. The world is beautiful, if only we can see pass the ugly.
the 1st time i saw this movie i was completely fucked up on perks and weed, and sitting in the best chair EVER getting head......needless to say i love this movie
@UkRunescapeVidz I wish what? That the 1st time i saw this movie i was on Percoct and smoking weed while getting a blowjob? Thats not a wish, it's a memory. Go troll somewhere else
I've read the book and watched the film, and I love both of them.
What I would say is the book is a little more "screwed up" than the film. The book is a lot more about about drugs, and Richard gets more screwed up in the book.
Not because it had a bad storyline... but because I expected something else. I also found it very insulting towards the thai. But heeey- thats just my opinion and I still have yet to watch the movie
i have met danny boyle at a film festival you should check out some of my films i make them! trainspotting is ace!! begbie is well funny in the pub when hes telling that story! about him playing pool lol!!!
it's a great film dude...and it show how great danny boyle is as a director.....o yeh he just came off with a oscar for slumdog too....everymovie danny boyle as done as turned out pretty sweet!
This was a good movie.The scenery was so good in the film that I traveled to Thailand in 2004 and again in 2006 with my best friend.I fell in love with Thailand. I watched this movie with another friend last year and she went to Thailand recently. In short this movie influenced my life like no other.
