Keep it true

It is difficult to define a person in simple terms of "good" and "bad".
Just as the Bible talks about sin in the flesh and willingness to do good in the mind.
The same thing is reflected in this movie. Only when the protagonist of the story turns out to be a child who we think is innocent, its development is so shocking and touches people's "pain" nerves.
But seeing the children's disputes, worship idols, that is, "Lord of the Flies". Stabbed his partner to death with random arrows during the sacrificial activities. It even launched faction wars.
I can't help but feel the "terrible" of this world.
Children are the epitome of adults. The characters in the movie are the epitome of society.
If you turn a blind eye to the darkness around you, then maybe you will feel that the world is very bright.
However, if it touches the dark side, I don't know if I will be knocked down by it, or I can still maintain my authenticity.
Perhaps this is why King Solomon said: "Wisdom adds to sorrow." Knowing much, but painful.
I remember a teacher once asked me, do you think it is still innocent?
I didn't answer yes or no, only said, I only know that I am not.
Acknowledging defects does not mean sinking, but the beginning of hope.

    This choice is difficult. The authoritarian groups on deserted islands that violently plunder resources and the seemingly civilized groups are actually incompetent. Putting it on a group of children is very profound.

    The officer asked: What are you doing? (The implication: how can civilization fall to this point)

Lord of the Flies quotes

  • Piggy: We might have to live here for a long time! Maybe the rest of our lives! If we are stuck here until we get old, then we can't go on acting like kids! We've gotta be sensible and make things work!

    Ralph: [looking up] No!

    [a rock is pushed off the cliff above, killing Piggy]

    Ralph: You're not gonna get away with this.

    Jack Merridew: Yeah? And what are you gonna do, huh? What are you gonna do about it? You're out of it pal, you're on your own.

  • Piggy: What good is that gonna do? They can't cook pigs without a fire. They'll get trichinosis.
