i saw this movie a a child and i be long to see it again . have it survive . i discount the 1980 version entirely a be fluff . i be sure that there be many that do not feel it be necessary to preserve these film . it be so unfortunate to discover a lost gem after it be go . young people today do not realize the hallucinatory quality and the impact on one life a film see in early youth can have in late life . this film and the blue lagoon have that effect on me . how many of u have wish to find ourselves in a place remove of the fear and chaos of the modern world . this be an idyllic story of a boy and girl castaway on a tropical island . there be trouble to be sure but in the end they fall in love and the have a baby . life should be so simple and beautiful .
