Humanity Test

It was really shocking to watch this kind of movie about survival on a deserted island, a test of human nature for the first time.

For Survival on the Deserted Island, I was still stuck on the Robinson plot at first, so I thought that the children would face hunger, water and other issues together in harmony. At the beginning, I picked up the conch conch. I thought that this kind of democratic leader has been established, and then I will overcome difficulties together.

They used piggy glasses to light a fire and waited for rescue. They didn't hunt and eat fruit. The children played like monkeys. They had fun, but they didn't expect that the split began because of the arrival of the wild boar.

Jack wanted to be a leader, but he hunted a wild boar, and the carnivorous and vegetarian food split. Jack also took the opportunity to lead his companions on a wolf-like journey.

The film reached its climax. The irrational Jacks used wild boar heads to declare authority, looted sharp knives and spectacles, and stabbed Simon to death inhumanely, and smashed piggy to death. The reason why they did such a behavior is one of the reasons. The island is completely deserted, civilization is lost, and it is in a primitive society. Second, the bloody violence stimulated the children's primitive instincts, bullying the weak and fighting for power.

I think from this, I can conclude that human nature is evil, primitive human beings are like this, because civilization is established because of the establishment of order, human society will become orderly and friendly to each other.

Horrible humanity, never known. . .

    The 63 edition of "Lord of the Flies" retains all the details of the original work, and this film has made many adaptations on the basis of the original work. It is far better than the 63 edition in portraying the evil of human nature, and it can be regarded as grasping the original work. The essence, the adaptable part is not well integrated into the original story (especially the background after the nuclear war is deleted), and the behavior of the characters becomes inexplicable because of the break in the story chain. Golding wants the audience to see not those creepy evils, but to explore the process of human alienation in a certain environment. "Lord of the Flies" is considered a symbol of filth and feces in the Bible. In the movie, it is a pig's head covered with flies, offering sacrifices to "wild beasts". "Beast" has become a supreme worship: children who saw the true face of "Beast" were brutally killed, and the order and civilization represented by Ruifu were easily pierced by a sharp wooden spear-an unmatched "Beast" envoy. They lose their minds, but the so-called "beasts" are nothing but fear and anxiety in our hearts, "maybe there is a beast, maybe it's just ourselves".

    It is the world of children, but it shocks and reflects on adults.

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.
