042 THE BEACH (dir.Danny Boyle) with Jamie B. Chambers

Welcome to episode 042 of Choose Film: A Reel Retrospective podcast. Grab your sunscreen and flip flops as Rebecca and Gary are joined by actor Jamie B. Chambers to discuss Danny Boyle's underrated film - The BeachSynopsis Richard (Di Caprio) is an American backpacking through Asia with a handful of friends from Europe. While in Bangkok, he meets a mad Scotsman who calls himself Daffy Duck (Robert Carlyle). Shortly before Mr. Duck kills himself, he gives Richard a crude map to a place in Thailand that he claims is paradise on earth: beautiful, unspoiled, and uninhabited. For lack of anything better to do, Richard and his companions try to locate the spot, which, after a dangerous and taxing journey, takes them to a beach as beautiful as Duck said it would be. Richard and his friends settle in, but before long they discover that they are not alone; a large group of fellow travelers has already dug themselves in, and they have established a community with the same social evils that Richard was hoping to leave behind. Just as important, there is an army of natives who grow marijuana in the nearby hills and do not appreciate the presence of these visitors.Links in conversation Instagram: @jamiebchambersTwitter: @jamiechambers_Website: www.jamiechambers.co.ukWilson Easter Egghttps://www.reddit.com/r/eastereggs/comments/kemt1v/cast_away_wilson_easter_egg_in_danny_boyles_the/Creative Recommendations Breathe | Lockdown Short Film - Sarah Granthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvas91k8WjwJust Get A Real Jobhttps://justgetarealjobpodcast.podbean.comThe Critical Drinkerhttps://efap-podcast.fandom.com/wiki/The_Critical_DrinkerRoom 16https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13587192/Jamie's BioJamie is an actor, performer and film producer from West London.
