The Blue Lagoon
(1980)
|
A remake of the 1949 original, which tells of a boy and a girl who become ship-wrecked on an exotic tropical island. As they grow up they learn how to fend for themselves, and as the years roll by their childish affection turns into an innocent love. But all is not what it seems... |
Brooke Shields and Christopher Atkins play the youngsters who are shipwrecked on a deserted island in this remake of a 1949 British film directed by Frank Launder. Here, teenage self-discovery and love ensue as they grow up isolated from the world in a Swiss Family Robinson-style shack. It's beautifully shot and there's much nudity and suggested sex, but it's all very, very silly, as the love birds conform to traditional marriage-and-baby values — strange for a couple with no sociological context to draw on. For the under 20s only.
