The Blue Lagoon

I saw "The Blue Lagoon" on HBO a couple nights ago as I was flipping through channels and this movie suddenly appeared on. I was quite surprised, this movie was good. The landscape in the film was beautiful and had a lot of incredible footage. This was the first movie, I've ever seen Brooke Shields in and I thought she did a pretty good job for a 14 year old. Although the acting was pretty corny, it never seized to entertain you. I actually liked most of the actors in the film. What really hit me, was the character development and how the story was approached. How the two young kids grew up into young adults that started to show passion for each other was greatly written out. The music was also good, as well as the cinematography. Overall, a good little film that should be more appreciated. Hedeen's Outlook: 8/10 *** B

This is one of my favorite films. I was 14 when it was released and I could really relate to it. It's really hard to describe but it just brings me back to a time in life when everything was new and exciting. The storyline is something that you dream about especially when you're 14 years old. The beautiful scenery and sound track just puts you in the perfect mindset. Sure there are some things in the movie that are a little hard to believe but that's all part of the whole "fantasy" thing. I've probably watched it every chance I've had. I've always thoroughly enjoyed this movie and always will. It makes me feel like I'm 14 years old again. The Blue Lagoon is probably the most beautiful film ever made. I just love the movie! Just give it a chance sometime. But I guess that's just my opinion.

This movie is simple, it captures what life is really about. Without the many special effects that is used in movies now and even in the past it is a absolutely wonderful movie. A young romance blossoming between two kids who have known nobody else but themselves. They discover everything in life without all the interference of the rest of the world. The low rating on this movie is unjust, it deserves a lot more then it is given, this is possibly one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is absolutely wonderful for a romantic night just you and the television. And the nudity? it was exciting when I was younger, it becomes a bit too much as I am getting older, but it does not bother me. It fits the movie, the pure soul of the movie.
