Maybe because that's most men's fantasy. To be stuck on a beautiful tropical island with a really hot chick. No competition from other guys either.

Its a metaphor for heaven and hell.

At first you're stranded on a deserted island with a major league hottie that, face it, you couldn't land with Jesus as your wingman. So eventually nature takes its course and you knock the boots. Essentially, you have attained heaven, paradise, Denny's whatever you want to call it.

Now flash forward maybe 4-5 years down the line. Now you've got two kids running around screaming all the time, she's put on major league pounds and is sitting around in a hammock ragging you for not fixing the roof before the rainy season starts. So there you are, stuck on an island with a woman who's let herself go, two screaming kids, and no way off the island, and no other women. This is where you descend into hell.

That was one of the funnier things I've read on IMDB in quite a while. Kudos to you mysticparrot.

Well spoken, sir, thanks for the laugh :-)

Hey Mysticparrot, if they ever make a funny parody of this movie, that will be an excellent scene to put in.

Lol, seriously though, if you have to work for everything, I doubt she'd put on the pounds. You should see how rural people live, they are usually slim.

This for sure.
The real horror would be the mother dying in childbirth due to complications and then the guy slowly losing his will to live and comitting suicide by berries or sharks.

Idk, a lot of women folks in our rural areas give birth a lot easier than those from cities. Many don't even go to a hospital or medical center, they just squat and out the baby comes. Many don't even feel much of any pain at all. I also notice they usually have very good white teeth without cavities even, and rarely get sick nor die of cancer. I watched an interview of a doctor on Rogan who said the cause for cancer cells is a mutation due to a sedentary lifestyle, hence why it's more common amongst sedentary people.

It's also some women's fantasy, believe it or not. :)
