"Paradise is not a specific place, it is a place where the soul belongs, so that it can be eternal." The

story puts a group of materialistic Americans on a primitive island, where everything lives by primitive means The place shows us the yearning and humanity of modern people.
It all starts with an undeserved map, where the protagonist gets a map from a strange stranger to get to the island of paradise. He originally thought that the people there should be people who lived in thatched houses and wore crude animal skins, but in the end they met a group of tourists from all over the world. They settled here and lived a "self-sufficient" life, escaping the struggles and pressures of modern life.
The protagonist's sentence is well said: no matter what, desire is desire. When the plot developed to the point where the rice in the warehouse became moldy and they had to choose people to buy it, we realized that this paradise is not so beautiful. People here are just running away, running away without responsibility!
When the chief asked to go to the island with him to buy things, no one took the initiative to stand up. However, he reported a long list to the people who went out: chocolate, sanitary napkin, beef, makeup remover, soap... Living under the conditions of escaping the responsibilities of real life, but wanting to enjoy the finished products of modern life, it is ridiculous in itself behavior. It's an escape from life.
The companion was bitten by a shark while fishing, but he was not allowed to call the doctor in, because he was afraid that outsiders would know the existence of this land. The companion's groaning in agony became a stumbling block to their happy life, and it was for this reason that the companion was abandoned into the wild, only to be looked after by a friend who was willing to take care of him. This is an escape from the duty of love.
......
Seeing the chief holding a pistol at the protagonist's head, just to be able to stay by himself, everyone's last support also collapsed, knowing that the paradise here is just so-called.

Perhaps the movie also wants to tell us that that kind of life cannot be returned. History is a maelstrom, in which it is impossible to escape. We can only go to the opposite step by step with the beauty in our hearts.
The competition now makes us unable to stop, and all we think about is: there are people who work harder than me, and there are people who are better than me, so we pay more madly. Most of the time, the purpose of our struggle is funny and sad, that is, to be better than others, or not to lose to others. But they often forget who they are and what they really want.
In fact, heaven is very close. Stop, find yourself, and take care of the people around you who love us and those we love. When they are with them, their happy smiles are heaven.

    Richard: And me, I still believe in paradise. But now at least I know it's not some place you can look for, 'cause it's not where you go. It's how you feel for a moment in your life when you're a part of something, and if you find that moment... it lasts forever...
