What a beautiful, heart stirring film. It stands to quench a thirst in all of us, a fantasy our physce prays for. Such raw love, real love, virginity. Most people lack this gift and amazing power to create such pure love. We just don't realize that sex is more then pleasure... it's intertwined with love. In this movie two innocent young people have the chance to experience love in its purest sense. They literally don't know any one else to distract them from one another,to distort their loves focus. They place all their love solely on the one person they "ever knew" and ever loved. Living together, working together, playing together, crying together, laughing together, for as long as they can remember. Whether Richard and Em would have been attracted to each other in the real world makes no difference. Here their souls were tied together. Here all alone on this tropical island they really experienced life.
Em's decision not to light the warning flare was disgusting, horrifying and completely selfish. She knew quite well how much Richard was dying to return to San Ferisco. I mean just look at the evil guilty look pinned to her face as she decides to sit idly on the steps of her hut watching the ship go by. Can you blame her though? not really. She was so happy there,so peaceful. Although she never "experienced the real world" she sensed that her serene, happy, paradise life would be completely dissolved and crushed if they were to return to civilization. As angry as Richard was she knew it was the best thing for him to. Indeed the love they created and the short pure happy lives they soon led is breath taking.
I'm thrilled that the film ended where it did, because quite frankly I had no interest in seeing their pure beautiful life shattered as they would soon be forced to partake in the crazy hectic world we all exist in. Interestingly enough They do have a glimpse of some of the world's pain and insanity. Richard watches as a helpless man is killed and his confusion is not much different then ours as we ponder the many wars, genocides, and killings occurring now or in our past.
I was forced to watch parts of this film over and over again and must part with it. I must face the fact that even in a dozen lifetimes my life will never come close to the pure love, romance, happiness and serenity that these two individuals partook of. This truly makes me depressed and I sort of wish I had never seen the film. On a happier note I can still try and emulate the concept of pure love displayed in the film. To discover an individual whom I could love, and focus on as if we were both "stranded on an island, and pay no attention to the fact that there are other attractive people out there constantly tempting me. Because the two of us are alone, and we love each other and our love will only grow as we partake in life's many circumstances. This also makes you think... could there love ever have faltered? I mean many people in "love" after a bunch of years discover that they aren't "attracted" to their mate "anymore." They lose interest and move on,sometimes successfully but lets be real.. usually not. They only find the same cycle occurring again and again. I firmly believe, on the same note discussed above that Richard and Em's love would have been complete and unfaltering. With no other options, with not other obstacles they would not be blinded as so many of us are into thinking there's always someone better. Richard and Em would have grown old together, happy and content with their love never faltering. ( that is if one of them didn't die of disease.... well lets be realistic, this is just a movie and being out there in the wild with out any form of medication and knowledge in that field can easily pave the way to disease and death. Hey perhaps it could happen, but I'm surprised one of them didn't come down with some life threatening fever or cold before there adolescence and died, well movies are movies) again I must part with this beautiful film and try and take those happy feelings inside and utilize them in privative way. sigh, it will take me a while get over this fascinating film.
score 10/10
