Within The Blue Lagoon there's a story hiding. Too bad it hides well and every actor involved helps reminding us. There's something really disturbing about bad actors/actresses acting like they're pure and unknowing. That's pretty much the concept of this movie, and needless to say Shields and Atkins haven't exactly been box office guarantees the past two decades.
I wish I could enjoy it. I remember a teenage girl I once knew, and she loved this movie back then. Oh, how the knowledge can ruin the fun. There's thankfully laws preventing child pornography, and there's a reason I don't think these kind of stories will ever fulfill their potential on screen. This is a story in desperate need of being told in a novel and pictured only inside the head of the reader. Then the purity as well as the story can shine, because I'm still convinced there's a story hiding there somewhere.
