I rarely watch movies but get to see the movie Turistas on DVD. It was entertaining and some of the facts may be believable such as the harvesting of internal organs that usually happen in some countries… But maybe the killing is naturally an exaggeration typical of a Hollywood movie…

Lassi and Goncalo, I saw “Into the Wild” now a few weeks ago. Didn’t even get the title until after the movie. It was quite interesting and followed the idea of Thoreau somewhat, to go into the woods and live a simple life. Didn’t know that it was based on true events. Interesting, interesting….

I agree with Goncalo, the movie “Into the wild” is a good traveller movie.

It is not one of those great movies, but very thought-provoking. The book is even better.

Goncalo, I heard about that one, but haven’t seen it yet. That’s the one directed by Sean Penn, no? So you can recommend it? Cool.

Yup Marc, the Motorcycle Diaries is quite nice! Can't wait for that new movie with Benicio del Toro as Che. Don't know about the "Art of Travel", but Linda Posey seemed to like it as well. Ryan, I heard about it, that he wrote The Beach in the Philippines, but didn't take it too seriously, as plenty of places make such claims. But your link and info sheds some new light to that theory. Thanks for sharing!

Did you know that the book “The Beach” was inspired by Palawan and Boracay according to the writer himself who stayed in the Philippines for a while?

“Garland spent six months living in the Philippines. Much of that experience was incorporated into “The Beach,” which he purposefully set in Thailand. “That’s because Thailand is more of a Mecca for a certain kind of travel, the kind of backpackers in the book,” he explains. “And I wanted to write a certain kind of book about travel.”"
