A. Analysis of the plot elements.
When the Miss Manila Sunshine Supermodel search starts. It attracts the attention of the socialite
Serafina L. (Lovi Poe) with her assistant, Nympha (Rufa Mae Quinto), a try-hard elite, Pura K.
(Solenn Heussaff) who was planning her birthday, Virginia P. (Heart Evangelista), a wealthy
college student who wanted independency, and Cristina G (Marian Rivera) who plans to seduce
one of the judges in order to win. The four finalists have been chosen and the Miss body
beautiful title goes to Virginia, Miss Photogenic goes to Pura, Serafina receives the Miss
Friendship title and Miss Talent goes to Cristina. The four must stay in an island for one month
for the final judging. On their way with a yacht, Pageant Director, Joshua (John Lapuz) proposes
to his photographer boyfriend Ricardo (Mikael Daez) but he rejects for now. Alfred, (Aljur
Abrenica) Virginia’s admirer who snuck in the yacht is caught by the waiter named Umberto
(Tom Rodriguez). Serafina brought her assistant Nympha who she verbally abuses often while
Cristina is with her boyfriend, Antonio (Dennis Trillo) who is self-described as a crook. Serafina
and Pura show distaste with each other. A fire has started when Umberto leaves his lit cigarette
to chase Alfred. The fire caused an explosion and eventually sinking of the yacht.

While the remaining passengers are alive and well, the four finalists along with Nympha,
Umberto, Joshua, Ricardo, and Alfred found themselves in a desert island with no sort of locals
or community in sight. Their cellphones cannot find a signal as well. Serafina stays positive
while Cristina remains frustrated, Nympha and Pura are both terrified. The group tries catching
fishes with panty hoses but only catches small scale fishes, not enough for the group. Virginia
and Alfred start getting closer with each other, Umberto shows interest with Cristina and Ricardo
gets closer with Pura much to Joshua’s infuriation. Serafina starts questioning since no guy
showed interest in her. Throughout the days, small huts were made using the parts of the
finalist’s gowns. The five girls start hallucinating; seeing human-size chicken, ice cream and
even started eating sand in a montage. One night, when Virginia turns down Alfred, Serafina
seduces him and had sex while Cristina shares intimacy with Umberto and Pura is with Ricardo.
Joshua who witnesses the night, goes missing.

The next day, Serafina reveals he slept with Alfred which started a fight with the rest of the girls
and she is defeated by Cristina. Cristina, in frustration runs out and chased by Umberto. They
stumble upon Joshua’s dead body. They found out that he committed suicide, as the group
mourns over Joshua and proposes burying the body. Pura suggests eating one of Joshua’s body
part to fulfill their hunger. The group are disgusted but had no choice. Nympha finally stands up
for herself when Serafina insults her and her whole family but makes up when Serafina promises
payment when they get home. Umberto serves Joshua’s cooked body part. The group cries as
they eat the food, they sing “Habang may Buhay,” a song famously played in funerals. At the
end of the song, they notice a group of helicopter and chases it, but it fails to spot them. Out of
frustration, each of the finalist promises to change once they leave the island, they also make up
with each other. A group of soldiers arrive to rescue them. Once they are back in Manila, the
pageant goes on and Serafina wins the Miss Sunshine Manila, she thanks her family, her newly
found friends, Nympha, and Joshua. After the competition, Pura and Ricardo reveal their plans
for marriage, Serafina decided to bring Nympha in California, Virginia makes up with Alfred,
and Cristina chooses Umberto over Antonio.

Temptation Island was a movie released by Regal Films in 1980, starring real-life pageant title
holders who tackled roles far from the conventional Pinay beauty queen image. Three decades
later, Regal Films and GMA Films chose to remake the Joey Gosiengfiao movie starring four
lead stars who weren't born yet when the original came out. The 2011 film stays faithful to the
original's plot, just sprinkling some updates in the looks and in the dialogue

The fact of the story/film they remake it only. But plot of the story is good for me, like I said
they remake only the temptation island 1980 but the outcome of film they made was better. They
recreate the idea of using modern methods in order to show to the audience the genius ideas of
the creators of the past

I think the filmmaker was successful in his purpose, since they remake the temptation island 1980 they
know the strategies to make the film easier and better, They accept the fact that there is more to learn
than they already know. They accept that there are always new ideas and new ways at looking at things.
