Acerca de Paradise

Resumen

Paradise es una película de aventuras románticas canadiense de 1982 escrita y dirigida por Stuart Gillard (en su debut como director). Está protagonizada por Phoebe Cates, Willie Aames y Tuvia Tavi. La partitura musical original fue compuesta por Paul Hoffert, con la canción principal escrita y producida por Joel Diamond y L. Russell Brown y cantada por Phoebe Cates. Fue criticada en su momento como una "imitación" de la más famosa The Blue Lagoon, ya que compartía una historia similar a la película de 1980. Resumen de la trama En 1823, durante la era georgiana, los adolescentes David y Sarah viajan con una caravana desde Bagdad hasta Damasco. En un oasis, un esclavista conocido como 'the Jackal' asalta el grupo e intenta agregar a la hermosa joven Sarah, la hija de un rico comerciante británico, a su harén. David y Sarah y su sirviente, Geoffrey, escapan por poco, pero todos los demás son asesinados en una masacre, incluidos los padres misioneros estadounidenses de David. Cuando Geoffrey busca ayuda en un campamento controlado por el Jackal, es asesinado. David y Sarah descansan en un enclave cercano mientras se dirigen al oeste hacia la civilización. Su huida los lleva a un hermoso oasis —un Paraíso— donde descubren el amor y el sexo. Sin embargo, el Jackal no abandona la esperanza de capturar a Sarah, por lo que David debe atraerlo a su muerte. Al final, Sarah revela a David que está embarazada y los dos jóvenes amantes finalmente llegan a la civilización, la ciudad de Damasco.
