Ok, I wanted to sleep but last night, a movie title caught my eyes. Lord of the Flies. A novel by William Golding. I've read a few pages of it when I was in Sec 2 if I'm not wrong. I didn't get to finish it cause the book was freaking THICK!!! It was a Midnight Movie on Channel 5, and so I went to watch the movie.
The movie starred Balthazar Getty, the guy who played in Brothers & Sisters; one of my favourite shows. Haha. The movie was set in 1987, so he was a pretty young boy during the movie. It was a good movie if you like those Survivors on an Island kind of movies, but this was about children surviving in the wildlife all by themselves. NO ADULTS or so... It was kinda weird to hear them do political stuffs like choosing a leader, getting Sentry Duty Jobs, making fire and so. I truly think that the American kids are greatly matured, more than us Asians...
So, the storyline was kinda unusual but I guess when we were kids, we sort of think like the characters in the story. But what I hate is when the antagonist influence the other kids to hunt and kill. They resort to violence and bullying and in the end, I can't remember how many Fucks I've said during the course of the movie, cause they killed some kids. They pushed a huge boulder from the mountain and eventually, the boulder hit and killed a boy. I was like Fuck Sia, not because he died, but the reactions of the bullies about his death was as if nothing happened. I was shocked by it.
Overall, I think the movie is not too bad, but I rate it like 3.5 out of 5... Not really up to my expectations actually. So yeah...
