Lord of the Flies

Based on William Golding's famous novel, Peter Brooks's daring 1963 film follows schoolboys stranded on an island after a plane crash. Two factions quickly form between the boys -- one being more civilized, concentrating on finding shelter and food, and the other more savage, hunting wild pigs and having fun. Tension builds between the factions' leaders, Ralph and Jack, leading to a battle for control of their own micro-civilization.

1963 UR 90 minutes

3.88 stars (Dale-3.75, David-4)Fascinating story but disturbing. I read this book in elementary school & have seen a more modern version of this British classic.

We thought it was ok...The story itself is a bit odd so I'm sure that's part of my problem with it. Glad you enjoyed though!

I remember when we read that book in school for sociology class. Of course, at that young age, I didn't understand all the symbolism. I'd probably get more out of it after the experience of life.

Yes I didn't understand it very well either...we even discussed it in class but it didn't all click in. Seeing it now is still disturbing but I understand it more.

I did not see this version but the update on this.Not sure when.
Read the book and saw the movie and think that like you said they may have been quite a few later release on this.
