Product Description
The lush beauty and splendor of a South Pacific paradise is vividly captured in this version of Henry DeVere Stacpoole's 1903 novel. Two small children and a ship's cook survive a shipwreck and find safety on an idyllic tropical island. Soon, however, the cook dies and the young boy and girl are left on their own. Days become years and Emmeline (Brooke Shields) and Richard (Christopher Atkins) make a home for themselves surrounded by exotic creatures and nature's beauty. They learn to cope with the bewildering variety of physical changes that come with adolescence. And as they begin to mature, their childhood affections lead to a sensitive and more profound love and the birth of a child. But will they ever see civilization again?

- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2017I love this movie. It all starts out when the ship that they're on with the boys Richard father who is the girls Emmeline uncle mysteriously catches fire. & they have to abandon ship. & because of the smoke which becomes pretty thick creating a fog they become separated. & end up with the ships cook paddy. They arrive at an island where they think they're alone. But there are strange native people which stay clear & make they're presence there seem like your imagination. Strangest of all was these native people didn't tend to patrol the island, or else these 2 couple would of
had it a long time ago. All that was witnessed that one night was seeing what
happens when one of the tribe members goes against the rest of them. Some kind of sacrifice. They were told not to go to the other side of the island where suspicious things happen, not to them but something that could spell bad luck. Richard calls them the drum people. Not quite the right name for them.
Anyways in case none of you are aware, the couple that end up together & fall in love have sex & then a baby are actually related. Cousins the way I remember it. & over a period of time they learn lessons about life. All sorts of lessons. You take for example one of them is in a bad mood, because there is a part when
one of them tells a lie, then the girl wants some private time, ends up cutting her foot on a rock while swimming in a pool surrounded by rocky cliffs.
They grew up there after accepting the fact that they may never be rescued. & if either one of them sees a ship it was Richards idea to get attention so they could leave the island. The only question is are they serious about getting attention? I never knew for sure whether or not they wanted to stay being happy on the island, or leave. (Swiss family Robinson) was a different story. In the end we learned the family was happy there for sure.
This movie is very confusing. Perhaps they do care too much about their loving relationship then they do about getting some ships attention & being rescued. I couldn't figure it out for myself even if I wanted to.
Perhaps they had their own fears of being discovered by the drum people.
& they make the most out of life. 15 years go by after having to abandon the ship with the cook who teaches them stuff, & knows a little bit more about how to survive then you might expect. You would have thought that he wasn't anything more then a mean drunkard after trying to spank the kids for seeing nude people in a magazine just before abandoning the ship.
There were all sorts of questions they were asking each other. None of them really had the right answers. The music in this movie is just right.
& the water is beautiful.
After drifting away from the island which they made their home they are picked up from the girls uncle & the boys father who must have spent an awful long time looking for them.
At this point they had already drifted far enough away from the island that there was no point in going back.
The sequel to this movie is called (Return to blue lagoon).
& it raises a few questions for me. Did Richard & Emmeline request to be returned to the island???

- Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2013I realize that many people may not agree with my rating here, at least if what you want is raw sex and a fast moving drama. If that is what you desire, then this movie is not for you. But if you are a sensitive person with feelings, and would like to see how it may feel to be able to live life without all the judgments and distractions of our modern society, then this drama may appeal to you, as it did with me. It is an interesting phenomenon, when we are able to experience what is essential to understanding life in an environment where God's beauty shows through, it touches something deep inside of our heart as if to say, "This is how God meant us to be and live!" Is the acting perfect? No. Is it a triple A picture? Probably not. But what it is may reach your heart in a way that most other movies simply cannot do. Why? Because it really shows everything in such an innocent and simple way that it becomes real; it shows things that in many ways are taboo in our society ... such as both the male and female bodies, but without being offensive in any way; learning about sex and having sex, while making it a beautiful and touching; and learning about the interactions and feelings of each other, which in the end results in caring and love for one another; and lastly, having a child and growing close as a family. Simple? Yes. But touching, nevertheless. Interestingly, I had a similar experience in my own life where, for the month that I spent with a cousin of mine in native bungalows in Bora Bora and Moorea (near Tahiti), we found that that simple something in this heavenly world of Polynesia can truly bring you closer to each other and to God. We actually discovered an almost indescribable spiritual unity while swimming and living in this same kind of environment as is seen in this movie. As they say, real life can come to imitate art, or in this case, a drama.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2024Bought for my girlfriend Because she loved it as a child.
She lost the nostalgia quickly and I fell asleep.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2013I bought this film not knowing what I might find but after a few minutes in I found the most delightful film about two children who knew absolutely nothing TRUE about life. Their father, Mr. Lestrange (good name for him btw), told them nothing true about life. Babies from cabbage patches, etc. They had only a fairly good vague concept about God but a little knowledge is dangerous which it was in their case. They even fell for the idea that an idol was God. Oh how horrible! Anyway, this is the sweetest movie I have watched in a very long time. I love the ocean scenes, the Pacific shots of the sky and cocoa-palms. It all makes for an enchanting two hours. I have watched it over and over and hope to watch it again and again. I bought the sequel it would not load so I got a refund but I will review it for what I did see of it.
Chris and Brooke do a marvelous acting job in this. It was so believeable that I just know they are really living their parts. They are innocence at it's best and the nude shots are so well done that you don't feel creepy or weird while watching them do whatever life brings them. It was all so well done that it was all so sweet as it could be. Again, not much creepiness anywhere in this film except for the headhunter scenes which I could have done without. I read about Robinson Cruso and so it took me back to those awful parts in that book. But, that was soon forgotten when a sunset appeared or a shot under the ocean took my mind off the gruesomeness of life. There is darkness in life but this movie lets one take a trip to a Pacific Islands and leave all worries behind for a while and just dream about being there. I watch it for that reason. It takes me away from the mundanness of my day and I am swept away. I love it!
