Return to the Blue Lagoon
Return to the Blue Lagoon is a 1991 American South Seas romantic adventure film directed and produced by William A. Graham and starring Milla Jovovich and Brian Krause. The film is a sequel to The Blue Lagoon (1980), which was a fairly close adaptation of the 1908 novel The Blue Lagoon by Henry De Vere Stacpoole. The screenplay by Leslie Stevens used some basic elements from the sequel novels The Garden of God (1923) and The Gates of Morning (1925) and even from an earlier film adaptation of The Blue Lagoon (1949), but the film was more a remake than a sequel. The original music score was written, composed and performed by Basil Poledouris. The film's closing theme song, "A World of Our Own", is performed by Surface featuring Bernard Jackson. The music was written by Barry Mann, and the lyrics were written by Cynthia Weil.
The film tells the story of Lilli Hargrave and Richard Lestrange Jr., two young children marooned on a tropical island paradise in the South Pacific. Their life together is blissful, but not without physical and emotional changes, as they grow to maturity and fall in love. The film was a box-office bomb compared to the first film, grossing just $2.8 million on an $11 million budget. Like its predecessor, it was panned by critics, receiving an approval rating of 0% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Set in the South Pacific Ocean in the year 1897, beginning right where the original film left off, a ship finds a little dinghy with three passengers. They quickly find out that the two adults, Richard and Emmeline Lestrange, are dead, but the infant snuggled between them lives—a little two-year-old boy whom they assume is named Richard since that is the only name he knows. After being taken aboard, the baby is given over to the care of Mrs. Sarah Hargrave, a widow who already has a young daughter named Lilli. After the crew is infected with cholera, Sarah, Lilli and Richard are cast off from the ship. After days afloat, Kearney, a sailor who has been sent with them, tries to kill Richard owing to his excessive crying. Sarah madly beats Kearney to death with a harpoon and dumps his body overboard.
Sarah, Lilli and Richard arrive on a tropical island. Sarah tries to raise them to be civilized, as the orphaned boy Richard was born and raised by Richard Sr. and Emmeline on this same island. They grow up, and Sarah educates them from the Bible as well as from her own knowledge. She cautiously demands the children never go to the forbidden side of the island.
Eight years later, when Richard and Lilli are 10 and 8 years old, Sarah dies from pneumonia, leaving them to fend for themselves. She is buried on a promontory overlooking the tidal reef area. Together, the kids survive on their resourcefulness and the bounty of their remote paradise.
Six years later, Richard and Lilli grow into strong teenagers. They live in a house on the beach and spend their days fishing, swimming, and exploring the island. Richard lets Lilli win the child's game of Easter egg hunt and dives to find her an adult's pearl as a reward. His penchant for racing a lagoon shark sparks a quarrel; Lilli thinks he is foolhardy, but the liveliness makes Richard feel virile.
One day, Lilli awakens with her first menstrual period, just as Sarah told her. Richard awakens with an erection and suffers a nasty mood swing, which he cannot explain. They then get into an argument regarding privacy and Sarah's rules. One night, Richard goes off to the forbidden side of the island, and discovers that a group of natives from another island use the shrine of a Kon-Tiki-like idol to sacrifice conquered enemies every full moon. Despite a lone native spotting him, Richard hides in the mud and manages to escape unharmed. After making up for their fight, Richard and Lilli discover natural love and passion, which deepen their emotional bond. They fall in love and exchange formal wedding vows and rings in the middle of the jungle. They consummate their new-found feelings for each other for the next few months.
Soon after, a ship arrives at the island, carrying unruly sailors, the proud captain Jacob Hilliard and his spoiled daughter Sylvia. The party is welcomed by Lilli and Richard, who ask to be taken back to civilization. Sylvia tries to seduce Richard, but as tempted as he is by her, he realizes that Lilli is his heart and soul, upsetting Sylvia. Richard angrily leaves Sylvia behind in the middle of the fishpond, in plain view of the landing party. Meanwhile, Quinlan, a sailor, ogles Lilli in her bath and drags her back to the house. He tries to rape her and steal her pearl before Richard comes to her rescue. Quinlan opens fire on Richard, who flees. Richard lures Quinlan to his death in the jaws of the shark in the tidal reef area.
