The Blue Lagoon
MBM Rating:
HOT ALERT: Christopher Atkins

After things don't go like they should, a boy and a girl get stranded on an island in the South Seas. The two children are forced to stay together for years on the island with no other place to go. As you might imagine, once these two reach their teenage years, they might begin to feel a little differently about each other.

I was quite young the year this movie was made and I grew up watching it a lot of times. When I was a teenager, I never really paid much attention to the movie itself because I was head over heels for Christopher Atkins. Now that I'm grown, I decided to watch it again. This probably the sexiest movie I have seen in a long time.

In my opinion, "The Blue Lagoon" had and still has a lot going for it. Another thing, I saw that the movie doesn't concentrate hardly at all on how the couple actually survives for years on the island, it's mainly just a movie about two teens who fall in love on a seemingly deserted island.

When a pair of young children, Richard and Emmeline, are shipwrecked on a deserted island, they are left alone to determine their own paths. Without any adult supervision or guidance as they grow into their teenage years, nature takes over and starts to overwhelm the youths with endless questions about their bodies and what to do with certain parts of them. What follows is a sensitive film about the discovery of human sexuality and the instincts that help us along the way.

It kept me interested the entire two hours and I never got bored at all. Finally, I've always heard about "The Blue Lagoon" winning the 1980 award for best cinematography, and I can see why.

Throughout the movie, there are several captivating underwater sequences along with the views of the island itself and the ocean. Equally as impressive is the film's musical score. The music couldn't have been any better for the parts of the movie that it signifies.

If you like great movies and if you can tolerate watching a classic romance/drama film, do yourself a favor and rent/purchase "The Blue Lagoon."
