About this product

Product Information

Director Peter Brook's faithful adaptation of William Golding's 1954 novel stars James Aubrey and Tom Chapin as antagonists Ralph and Jack, respectively. When a plane carrying 30-odd British schoolboys out of a war zone crashes on an island, all the adults are killed. The boys organize for survival, naming Ralph as their chief, in charge of providing fire and shelter. Jack is designated to lead a group of boys to hunt the wild pigs that roam the island. Almost inevitably, as time passes, the two boys, representatives of civilization and savagery, begin a deadly struggle for dominance. The frequently invoked image of life as a "war of all against all," in which civility is merely another weapon in the battle to gain one's ends, is given a particularly disturbing twist because it is enacted by children. Brooks shot an enormous amount of footage, a documentary style ratio of 60:1, and used nonprofessional actors to achieve a raw, visceral realism. With a jauntily ironic score by Raymond Leppard, the film succeeds completely in suggesting the chilling malignity that can lurk beneath a bland exterior.

    Faithful adaptation...

    I purchased this movie for use in a 10th grade high school English class after we finished reading the book. I understand that there are two film versions of this book available. I have not seen the newer (color) version, but one student who saw both said he prefers this one because it is more faithful to the book. Also, I understand that the newer version has harsh language that might be objectionable in class. This one contains mild nudity, but I sent home a permission slip and none of the students were bothered or distracted by it (although it might cause a scandal in a junior high classroom!). The production quality is low by today's standards but impressive considering the constraints of the film's production team. It was produced on a low budget with limited resources.

    Lord of the Flies....THE ORIGINAL!!!!

    The original "Lord of the Flies" was very well done for its time. The actors and plot were interesting to follow. Like the author of the book, it has the original British feel to it. I bought this DVD, because it is a great collector's item worth watching over and over.
