Watch The Blue Lagoon For Free

Sick Product of a Sick System

A Masterpiece!

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Someone already mentioned that the movie is imbecilic with breathtaking scenery; scenery you can watch in documentaries, screen savers. I don't get how could Brooke Shields get this role and not Alexandra Paul or Elisabeth Shue, late Natasha Richardson, Helen Hunt, Julia Campbell etc etc.

****Contains Spoilers*** First of I have to say Blue Lagoon is one of the best films I have seen in my life. It is now one of my favorites. Because once in a while a rare movie comes along that deals with the human condition, relationships between men and women, desire to raise a family. Their child like innocence is endearing in a harsh world. Yet they survive against the odds. Few movies deal with real issues like this. A movie about the human condition.IMDb's rating is far too low. This movie deserves a solid 8. The very least 7.5. Outstanding movies with a outstanding story like the Blue Lagoon deserve a much higher rating on IMDb.Rarely does a film comes a long and you invest so deeply in their characters. You have to see the movie yourself to know what I mean. While the movie is outstanding, my only complaint if there is, is the movie could have gone for another 10 minutes. To give us some details about what became of Richard, Emmeline and their son at the end.No I don't think they died at the end. However the movie forces us to draw our own conclusions. They probably survived. Was re-united with their father and moved back to San Francisco or Boston. It would have been nice if the made a proper movie sequel. Where after they are rescued they show a bit about Richard, Emmeline and their son their life back in America. After returning did they get married. You want this family to live happily ever after because you emotionally invested so much in their lives and this very moving story. How did they re-integrate after so many years living on a desert island. I would hate to think our innocent hero's, Richard and Emmeline died after all they have been through. A great film. Congrats to all involved in making this movie, 37 years after it was made. This timeless movie with a timeless story has lost none of its resonance or emotional impact.

A modern day Adam and Eve are stranded on a deserted island and must learn to coop with the challenges it presents.The location shots set the scenes and are some of the most beautiful decorations to grace the screen.Richard and Em are almost a candidate for a documentary on how well mankind could make it without the comforts or technology we take for granted everyday. They revert back to their instincts of making shelter, learning how to make weapons, hunt, gather good and create fire all the skills you need to survive.They tried to hold onto the past they once knew, discover love sex that's hard for them to put into words and yet retain a child like innocence.The casting was interesting, if you had told me this was Brooke Sheilds Brian's first roles I would've called you a liar, are how I imagined them from the book.Yet it only adds to the tragic end as the small family try a last minute effort to sail off into the sea to save their only child who fell sick. Will they or won't they make it?The only film I can say that ever reached the brilliance and majesty of the lagoon was caste away.10/10

I use IMDb almost daily, and slowly I have learned not to discount a movie based on others' ratings solely. This movie is a gem - I missed out on seeing it in the theater as I didn't start high school until 1983.It is a skillfully woven tale of survival, friendship, love and the human condition. For my tastes there are a few scenes that are over the top goody-goody, but given the nature of the film I just let them slide.In typical US moronic fashion, the film was panned by critics and considered to risqué for teens to watch given partial nudity in scenes throughout the movie. I guess its better to read National Geographic in the school library. Sure, I'm male, and Brooke Shields is easy on the eyes, but any mainstream internet selfie is more likely to be considered more perverse than anything in this film.
