I had the task of watching this for Society and Environment. We were studying leadership roles I think. Well anyway, I didn't even know what the heck Lord of the Flies was (I had some image of flies festering on some rubbish tip, flies trying to be the master of flies... I don't know what I was thinking!). Anwyay...
A forever relevant and realistic story about a group of boys stranded on an island. The boys, who are about 9 or 10, have to adjust to the lifestyle on an island fending for themselves. The group splits in two and there is a terrible amount of conflict on the island - they have very different ideas of hunting for food etc. This conflict and the stress of the new lifestyle takes it's toll and causes fatal things to happen. Totally convincing - GREAT actors.
You'll have to see it for yourself because you really do feel for the boys (I feel for Piggy). A very good realistic movie that really struck a chord with me.. scared me though - not in an Exorcist kind of way but more of a psychological way. Definitely recommended.
