Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Fanny Darling A really sweet and dream-like film with beautiful music. The acting was over-the-top for the first hour, but for the rest of the movie I thought it felt more genuine and considerated for the most part. I think it worked particularly well at the sequence when Emmeline has just had the baby and they have no idea _why_ she has had it and tries to feed it fruit. I'm thinking perhaps their acting was meant to be a bit exaggerated to emphasize how they sort of remain children since all they have is each other with no other contact with other people or impacts, apart from their memories. However, the dialogue came off as clumsy at times though.Further I would've thought it would be interesting to see Emmeline and Richard in "the real world", the civilisation, because surely these crucial years on the island affected them in many ways. How would they differ from other young adults? How would they perceive a world that they were never really part of? Maybe that was what they ending was trying to tell – that Emmeline and Richard would never be able to fully adapt to the society, considering it was so far from what they knew. As viewers we actually don't know know if they do die, if the berries are _that_ poisonous, although that is what we can assume, but still – the last lines are: "are they dead?", "no sir, they are asleep". They remain in the dreamlike state in which they have lived in most of their lives, leaving the outcome a bit open.

Adrian Bonds I had looked forward to see this movie for a long time before I today made the choice and watched it. What I had in mind was a beautiful nature film with pure natural love, just as I saw it in Green Mansions (1959) and the outcome was exactly what I wanted. This movie contains a lot of nature, a lot of love but not a lot of unnecessary words that would just have filled it with nonsense. "The Blue Lagoon" is the perfect rejection of two false love visions, both of love as something purely idealistic and platonic and of love and something you do just to satisfy your physical ego. It's liberating to watch The Blue Lagoon because it is so different from what we are used to see nowadays. When i watch this movie I feel comfortable and happy.And to my rating. Perhaps I wish I had learned more about the characters and I had loved to see what happened after the story ends but I will remember the movie and if a friend asked me about a good love film, this would be one of the movies I'd mentioned.

Kirpianuscus not more. only an escape from every day universe far away. beautiful location. seductive scenes of grow up. beautiful young people, tension, reinvent of the history of humanity, romanticism, adventure, flavor of the pages of Jules Verne and dreams with open eyes of the first ages. few drops of controversies. and a decent/predictable script. not more. not new. but useful for special days and evenings and afternoon. first I saw it in 1987. under the Communist regime. on the video player. and I was fascinated. it was more than a movie - it was magic. after few decades, it seems to me be far to be remarkable. or good film. or credible. but, for the emotion of a young man at 11 years who was me in 1987, I admit - The Blue Lagoon is a must see. once in life. at the best age.

L R This movie is beautiful. All caps: beautiful.The idea for this movie alone is very unique and intriguing. The casting did a great job based on actors physical appearance. But, unfortunately they are very bad actors (maybe still too young in this movie) Brooke Shields is 14-15 (while filming for this movie)!!!Still, bad acting gets better, and is almost acceptable by the end of the movie.The scenery in this movie is beautiful.And the story is between a boy and a girl , stranded on a beautiful island and coming of age.. probably at around 15, they for the first time in their lives become attracted one to another..The natural relationship and family creation and interpersonal arguing and smiling, and attraction and love and lust and frustration and health and sickness and clashing opinions and trying to figure each other out. etc.. Is again beautiful. Just a classic, that makes a strong impact on the viewer! I also like the ambivalent ending. I believe they got saved. I hope they did.BUT, it is soooooo frustrating! Why? Because this movie could be one of the best movies ever made. If the script was just a tiny bit better and if the actors only knew how to act, and create a even more powerful chemistry on the screen.Real rating: 8.2
