"Return to the Blue Lagoon": actors and their roles

“Return to the Blue Lagoon” - a 1991 film, shot as a continuation of the picture with the similar name “Blue Lagoon” (1980). Despite the fact that the tape received as many as 5 nominations for the Golden Raspberry Award, it is important for fans of Milla Jovovich’s work, because it was in this film that the charming actress with Russian roots played her first major role. We will get acquainted with the actors of “Return to the Blue Lagoon” and the characters they created.

Plot

The plot of the film is built in almost the same way as in the 1980 film: a woman Sarah with two children is forced to leave the ship, the unfortunate spend a lot of time in a boat in the middle of the open ocean, then they end up on a desert island. Sarah is trying to teach her daughter Lilly and little Richard, who, by the will of fate, also became her pupil, the features of life on the island.

After her death, the children remain alone and gradually feelings arise between them, the names of which the unfortunate savages do not know.

Lilly

Milla Jovovich in “Return to the Blue Lagoon” played a major role, the girls Lilly. At the time of filming, the actress was only 15 years old, but she already had several works in the cinema. So, in the erotic thriller "The Merger of Two Moons" Milla played a small role. Also, from early childhood, she worked as a model, and therefore she played brilliantly the role of the unhappy girl who found herself on a desert island.

Despite this, Jovovich was nominated for Golden Raspberries as the worst aspiring actress. Some critics say that the girl is too beautiful for the savage who spent 10 years without the benefits of civilization, but the image of Lilly turned out to be very naive and touching in Milla. It is known that the work was not easy for the beginning actress, because the film contains quite frank scenes.

Richard

Brian Krause, the actor of “Return to the Blue Lagoon”, became a partner of Milla, he got the role of Richard. At the time of filming, he was 22 years old, but he did not achieve much success in cinema by this age. It was the tape about the savage children that became Brian’s most memorable work, after which he cemented his success with the role of Leo in the series “Charmed”.

It is interesting that, like his partner Milla Jovovich, Krause took part in the filming of “The Merger of Two Moons”, playing a small role as an anonymous character. Also, before "Return to the Blue Lagoon", the actor starred in the series of black humor "Tales from the Crypt", the series "Stairway to Heaven" and "Another World", so he could confidently stay in front of the television camera.

Spectators noted that both actors who played children ideally suited their roles - they looked innocently, like real creatures of nature.

Other heroes

Considering the actors of “Return to the Blue Lagoon”, we should mention the red-haired American Lisa Pelican, who played the role of Sarah Hargrave, mother of Lilly. At the time of the filming of the film, Lisa was 37 years old, she took part in several films and series:

• Goblins.
• "Mill of the Gods."
• "Midnight Heat."
• "AWOL".

In the film "Return to the Blue Lagoon," the heroine Pelican appears as a strong-willed woman, ready to challenge fate. Sarah not only meekly resigned to the need to stay on the island, she is ready to do everything to teach children how to survive. The heroine understands that their chances of salvation are minimal, but does not allow despair to take control of herself.

Another actor of “Return to the Blue Lagoon” - Brian Blaine - played the role of captain Jacob, he was on the screen for a short time, but was remembered by some viewers. 3 years after filming, the actor suddenly died at the age of 56 years.

These are the main characters of the tape, which, of course, largely repeated the first film, but still interesting to the audience.
