How Is The Movie Related To Lord Of The Flies

Decent Essays
In the book Lord of the Flies, there are a group of boys stranded on an island in the middle of a nuclear war. The book takes place in the early 1950s where a group of just boys are flying away from England on a jet when they are shot down and stranded. The boys have to fight to survive on the island, and they get many upsets across the way. I think the movie was okay for the time it was made. It was like a 6 out of 10 maybe a 7 out of 10. The actors really knew their lines well, and the music was really filling for the movie. The special effects were not as good as they could have been. I believe the costume design was really good too. Overall, I thought it was pretty good.
