Lord of the Flies Movie Review
In the movie there
were a bunch of boys and they were in a plane crash. The plane had crashed in
the ocean and the boys were able to make it to a deserted island. While the
boys were on the island they tried to make a community and had rules to stay
sane, eventually the boys lost control and went insane and tried to kill each
other, in the end they were rescued but a few boys were already killed before
the rescue came.
Critic
I think the movie was
great, the boys were fairly good actors for such a young age. But the only
problem with the movie was that it didn’t capture the symbolism of the conch as
well as the book had. Over all I rate the movie a 8/10.
Comparison
The movie had the
boys arriving on the island with a raft but in the book the boys had started
out on the island and just got up and started to look for one another. Another
point was how Ralph the main character in the book picked up the conch and
decided it was a way of calling upon people and having a group session. " 'We can't have everybody talking at once...
I'll give him the conch... [and then] I'll give the conch to the next person to
speak. He can hold it when he's speaking.' "(P.31) But in the movie he
just blew the conch and they all came toward him to see what it was, so the
book had shown more symbolism then the movie had done for the conch.
