Directed by Danny Boyle and loaded with Y2K angst, hallucinatory madness, and a killer soundtrack, this film tries to mix&amp;nbsp;Lord of the Flies, Apocalypse Now, and a Gap commercial. Gene and Big D unpack the wild tone shifts, moral chaos, and whether Leo\u2019s backpacker nightmare still holds up today. Movie Plot:The desire to find something real -- to connect with something or someone -- is what drives Richard (Leonardo DiCaprio), a young American backpacker who arrives in Thailand with adventure on his mind. Etienne (Guillaume Canet) and Francoise (Virginie Ledoyen) join him on an adventure to &quot;The Beach,&quot;&amp;nbsp;a mystical paradise. However, this paradise is less than perfect.
