The Beach

Revealing mistake: When they are burying the Swede on the beach, you can see him blink when they throw sand into grave.

Revealing mistake: Take a good look at the crowd of backpackers waiting outside the office in which Richard just has been questioned by the police. They are the same people that later in the movie are welcoming Richard to their happy, secret paradise island community.

Continuity mistake: When Richard and Francoise are making love on the beach. They begin kissing deep under the water and continue all the way to the top. When they reach the surface they can stand up in the water which appears to be waist-level.

Richard: I just feel like everyone tries to do something different, but you always wind up doing the same damn thing.

More quotes from The Beach

Question: Where did the filming for this movie take place? I assume there are many different areas, but the place I'm most interested in is the lagoon, where we see the brothers fishing, and where Richard has his encounter with the shark. Also, is this a populated area? It looks like it could be a good tourist attraction.

Chosen answer: It's Ko Phi Phi Leh island off the coast of Thailand. It's a protected area, off the beaten path, and tourism is discouraged. There are resorts on nearby islands.
