So I watched part of "Blue Lagoon" and it just dawned on me...

[LynneSin]

this movie is pretty much mainstream child porn.

I remember seeing it when I was younger and it was such a big shock because it looked like 14 year old Brooke Shields was naked (it was said they used a body double for nude scenes). Plus the baby was naked all the time too. Only Christopher Atkins was the only person who didn't show off his private parts.

Yet they still show this movie.

1. What a blast from the past.

I remember when it came out (I was too young to see it) and remember the controversy. Shitty movie too, when I was finally able to see it. Then Chris Atkins starred in some male stripper movie and I don't think he did much after that.

2. Brooke Shields:

She appears to have become a very nice lady.

3. To be honest.....I've always sort of thought it was the acting

that was pornographic. Really really bad acting. Incredibly bad. Maybe that's why the underage nudity didn't even really register with much impact for me....

4. She wasn't old enough to see her own movies

Eventually she fired her mother/manager and pursued her career without the sex. Boy! She was a huge controversial figure for the movies and the levi ads her mother had her do.

5. I guess you missed 'Pretty Baby'.

7. I remember Rona Barrett denouncing "Pretty Baby" as kiddie porn on GMA

..and that dates me tremendously.

6. I saw the original in 1949

when I was about five. The scene where the guy got drunk and fell to his death traumatized me for years. I had serious emotional problems stemming from that movie. My parents were naive and thought it would be a movie for kids because there were kids in the movie.

I don't remember any of the children in the movie, including the baby, being nude.

8. Back in the late 70s and early 80s it seems like teens were "fair game". YUCK!

No wonder Roman Polanski used "everyone fucked kids back then" as an excuse.

9. Christopher Atkins did full frontal in Blue Lagoon

Does anyone really care when babies are naked on film?
