Lord of the Flies

"There's 8 million islands out here, why should they find this one?"Lord of the flies was an interesting film that was shot on a deserted tropical island. After a horrific plane crash this group of young innocent schoolboys were left stranded there, having to fend for themselves. In the beginning of this powerful story the boys elected Ralph to be their leader, but some of the other boys had a different idea. When Jack decided to start an alliance of savages that he called "hunters" who where covered in war paint and went out killing wild pigs and anything else they could eat that's when the group was divided. In this film the music played a big part because as the film progressed the music followed. In the end when the "hunters" burned down the jungle and were in pursuit of Ralph, the music sped up and the camera shots changed quickly which showed a lot of tension which was well directed. In this powerful fight for survival acting as children and not fully understanding the consequences of their actions, they started killing eachother with no hesitaion which in my mind brought the story to an emotional end. I think after the "hunters" killed Simon people joined the possessed savages out of fear not choice they thought that if they didn't join they would be killed along with Simon and Piggy who were only trying to help. This was an emotional film that was filled with violence, treachery, loyalty and death. This film was showed lots of imagination and I enjoyed watching it.
