Product Description

 
Adapted from the William Golding novel. This Americanized 1990's version pits the young boys, survivors of a plane crash against nature and eventually each other. The consensus that rules should be maintained in the wilderness is soon forgotten as one boy threatens the group's coexistence and even the very lives of the individuals when he begins to draw members into a separate group.

Nothing special

Date of Review:  Jul 3, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you want to see an adaptation of the novel, watch the 1963 version.

Date of Review:  Feb 25, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you don't read the book, it wouldn't really make any sense to you.. Swearing and violence not good for children in the movie.. Books better
Review: I just finished watching this video last English class.. The book was a masterpiece and brilliant I loved it.. You caught everything and you felt like you were there.. Everything was powerful, and then our English teacher showed us the 1990 version...

Date of Review:  Nov 21, 2002
The Bottom Line: This is an excellent film that grabs you and makes you think.
Review: This movie is much more lush and Hollywood than the older adaptation. I first saw it on the big screen and was impressed by the scope and grandeur. Later I showed it to my Sociology students to illustrate Groups, Status, Roles, etc. It exists as a...
