I was very disapointed by the DVD . I've been actually unable to watch it because it lierally "froze" in my DVD player. I contacted Bullmoose music but they never replied. So, very disapointing experience. Thanks to Amazon .ca,my credit card was credited. Thank you Amazon . I will never buy anything again that comes from Bullmoose music. Thanks again Amazon. Andrée

Lord of the Flies movie

Decent interpretation of the classic novel. I was happily amazed when my ninth-grade students claimed that they actually preferred the book!

Although I could not show this film to tenth graders (it is rated "R"), I will be able to use it with my seniors next year.

Disturbing and truthful

This was a very realistic depiction of how easily fears can get the best of all of us and get us to be what we thought we were not. What sets any of us off the edge?

Surely there was no reason for the changes that were made to this screenplay from the book itself - the book is slim / exact / and requires no modification or accomodation. The char. of Piggy is spot-on; Ralph is a bit stiff; Jack is way too young to be Jack; the constant f-this and f-that speeches; and the flight captain coming in on the beach with them from the start was a sure sign that the creator of the film was about to take artistic license - there were no bonus features, but I could imagine one of those smarmy voices: "It was one of my fave childhood books - wanted to bring it to life on the screen - you know - really do it justice and all that." Nice try - the only part of the film that really required working to capture was the child-prophet Simon - and to great effect this was done justice until the pivotal moment for Simon which was tweaked and justice to the story undone once again.
