I don't think there are bad tastes and good tastes. Everyone has different tastes. A lot of things influence those.
I never saw "Paradise" but I watched a lot of time "The Blue lagoon" and "Return to the blue lagoon". "Paradise" was criticized a lot when it was realised because it was considered as a parody of "The Blue lagoon". A lot of people were shocked by "The Blue lagoon". My parents were among them XD Now that I know that my dad was not my real one, that my mum maried him while she was loving my real dad, that my official dad was loving the wife of my real dad and that he was the father of her 3 chldren, I'd just say to them : how hipocritical you are !
Maybe that I have bad tastes but I love "The Blue Lagoon" a lot. Not for the nude and love scenes. It never attracted me more than it should XD. My preference has always gone to the one I love, nude
But because there was a return to the nature in that film, a return to innocence. I have the habit to say that I only have a god in my life who I call "Lady Nature" XD Well, that film is an hymne to my Lady Nature. The 2 young characters act like we would all act if we were on a desert island, without social conventions, laws and bans. Even if we think we act because of our wills and thoughts, we are conditionned to act and to think like that because of our social conventions, parents, what we see in the others life etc
In that film, at last, it is not. I was 16 when "The Blue Lagoon" was realized and it marked me a lot. Nature always wins ! We are just a part of it ^^ I wouldn't say like the satanists that we can do everything, that all is allowed in life. There are a lot of things I shouldn't do and I met people of who I can't approve their acts. I just consider them as evil. But I can't understand why that film shocks so much. The characters are pretty young but the way they act is natural.
I always reproached to my parents not to have taken my far japanese cousin at home, with us. In fact, when I was about 14 (I don't exactly remember how old I was) my family received a letter from the ambassy of Japan telling us that an aunt of my mum who had gone in Japan years before with a japanese friend of my grand-father, had had a girl with him who had had herself 2 kids, a girl and a boy. My little little little... little cousins as I call them XD The boy was in an orphenage and the ambassy was looking for a house for him. I don't know where the girl was. Their mum was dead, their grand-father was dead and, at that time, we had no news form their grand-mother, my mum's aunt. They were alone. The first reaction of my parents was to take him in our home, with us. I don't know why he never came but I heard once my parents discussing together and telling they were afraid that we fell in love together and that we had sex together as soon as they turned their back XD If it is the reason why he never came in our house, it's ridulous. Even if what they feared had happened it would have been natural. That's all. Due to that I always had special thoughts towards that little little...little cousin XD He has always been in my heart <3 And his sister too <3
