Plot hole: After witnessing two friends getting killed by massive shark bites (as well as Richard's shark encounter) they all choose to swim away from the island together; even though Sal and Richard used a boat to get the mainland carrying multiples bags of supplies. The newcomers also arrived with multiple kayaks which Richard was aware of before seeing them all get shot.
The Beach (2000)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Danny Boyle
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Carlyle, Tilda Swinton, Guillaume Canet, Virginie Ledoyen, Daniel York, Patcharawan Patarakijjanon
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.
Question: Does anyone know the name of the piece of music that plays when the first shot of the island is revealed? It's also the same music that plays on the DVD menu screens.
