Return to the Blue Lagoon (1991)

In the second film though the main theme remains the same, there is more beauty to discover. Few movies are as relaxing as this one. The music of Basil Poledouris adds to the effect - it is one of the best ever written for the cinema. There are some clichés here and there but cannot mar the result. I honestly believe there must be something wrong with anyone that is not touched by the beauty in these movies.

The story starts out with fifteen years passing between the rescue of Richard, Emmeline, and Paddy in their row boat(end of the first film all three were found alive and sleeping not dead). (completely different boat look closely) Sarah (Liilian's mother) and Lillian are one their way home (Sarah's husband passes before the start of the movie) Sarah takes the orphaned boy who they name Richard under her wing. All three are cast off the ship due to a cholera out break on the ship along with one sailor named Kearney. After floating for several days the children become fussy needing water. Kearney not willing to share try's to throw Richard off the boat to drown Sarah defend's Richard and her daughter with a harpoon and beats him in the head until dead and throws him off the boat. After a few more days floating they land on an island that the first movie takes place. Sarah makes a life for herself and the two children in the process they find the last couples hut. She teaches them manor's, proper spelling, and the changes of life (which the first film lacked). During a storm a branch falls through the roof and she goes to patch it and gets pneumonia doing so. She knows she is going to pass and gives the children directions on what to do when she does. They have their traditional Easter Egg hunt which Richard lets Lillian win and her prize is a pearl. Richard and Lillian go into puberty, also falling in love with each other. They have their traditional Easter Egg hunt which Richard lets Lillian when and her prize is a pearl. They end up doing a wedding ceremony by Lillian's mothers grave. A few months later another ship seeking fresh water bringing another woman Sylvia with them trying to steal Richard from Lillian along with a money hungry sailor who ends up trying to steal the pearl. After Sylvia makes a pass at Richard he realizes how much he truly loves Lillian and goes looking for her. He gets closer to their hut and hears her screaming out for help. He see's the sailor trying to rape her and he jumps on him. The sailor shooting at him the rest off the crew on the shore hears the gun fire and comes to help. Get's the sailor off of Richard and arrests him. After they leave Lillian tells she is pregnant and doesn't want to have their baby in civilization and Richard tells her how much he loves her. They stay and raise their baby together on the island.

i saw the film yesterday night on spix at midnight as there weren't any good movie up in the television at that time and now i am thankful to the media Chanel spix for that! the movie is great,but it seems to go at a slow pace(probably because we are to much used to the fast pace of life) but it delivers its message in the most beautiful way. the movie teaches us that there won't be any of the evil dwelling in us if we are deeply associated with the best of the creations of nature. towards the end of the movie we learn that how harm we are causing to this holy place of ours.just think of a single thing which is not derived either directly or indirectly from the nature! probably we won't find any. and now think of the times when you have been grateful to this nature(and not god for that sake)for this beautiful life of ours or the way in which we have given back to the nature for showering it's gift upon us! this movie teaches us to be grateful to each and everything in life and cherish this beautiful life of ours without causing any harm to the other creatures of this beautiful planet.GO FOR IT AT LEAST ONCE IN YOUR LIFETIME! WISH YOU A GREAT DAY!

In 'Blue Lagoon' the movie ends with the young couple and their baby adrift at sea as a boat approaches. We don't really know what happened or if they survived. This movie, "Return", takes up where that one ended, somewhere in the Pacific, in the late 1800s.As a small party from the ship board the small boat, they find the parents no longer alive, but the baby boy is fine. On board the ship are a mother and her daughter, and she decides to care for the baby boy. But on board the crew soon begin to come down with an illness, Cholera, so the woman and the two small children are put out on a lifeboat, it is their only chance to survive.The story that results is very similar to the first movie, in that an adult and 2 small children are stranded on an uncharted island, in fact the same uncharted island, and there the children grow into young adulthood.Milla Jovovich, who was only 14 or 15 during filming, is very suitable as Lilli, the girl the baby grew into on the island. Brian Krause, who was 20 or 21 during filming, was Richard, the boy that the baby boy grew into. As the story progressed and they entered puberty we see them facing many of the behavioral issues the teens in the first movie faced, and mirror what teens in our own society face.No, by no means is this a great movie but it is interesting. It is too much like the first one so not much new is explored, but interesting to see anyway.MAJOR SPOILERS: As the 4 are initially out to sea in the small boat the seaman sees they are running short of water and wants to throw the two small crying children overboard. As he begins to the mom takes a harpoon and knocks him out them dumps him into the ocean. The remaining three of them come ashore and soon find the home that the boy and his young parents had left not long before. As the children grow, and are maybe 8 and 10, the mom gets pneumonia and instructs them how to bury her and carve a memorial after she dies. As they get to be teenagers they decide to marry and have their own ring ceremony, then basically behave as if they are on their honeymoon. A ship shows up and a small crew comes ashore looking for fresh water, and the captain's daughter, Sylvia, tempts Richard, tries to seduce him but he spurns her advances to stay true to Lilli. A rogue crewman tries to violate Lilli, eventually tries to shoot Richard, but gets eaten by a shark as he chases Richard into water off the reef. After all these experiences Lilli and Richard decide to stay on the island and have their baby there, instead of going back to "civilization."
