The listing, Leonardo DiCaprio in THE BEACH has ended.
Leonardo DiCaprio sought to distance himself from the purity of his character in Titanic, and his role in The Beach is in many ways a polar opposite.
As Richard, a young American seeking to "suck in the experience" of freestyle travel in Thailand, he's a chronic liar, a pot-smoking hedonist, an amoral lover, and ultimately an unstable snake in a doomed Garden of Eden.
After receiving a not-so-secret map to a secluded island from a stoned-out loony (Robert Carlyle, full of dark portent and spittle), Richard sets out to find the hidden paradise with a young French couple (Virginie Ledoyen, Guillaume Canet).
What they find is a tropical commune existing in delicate balance with Thai pot farmers, and before long--as always--there's trouble in paradise.
DiCaprio now the plot turns into a mix of Lord of the Flies and Apocalypse and now with shark attacks tossed in.
Romance and a few audacious moves
