(Kurtz, from Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness and Apocalypse Now)

Movie Analysis (Lord of the Flies)

     In the movie "Lord of the Flies" the characters don't have the same characteristics than in the book. The appearance of Jack is different. He has red hair and in the movie he is blond. He is the only character in the book that is different from the movie.
     The beginning of the book is different from the movie. In the movie the kids are already in the boat going straight to the beach. And We can see the plane and some people dying in the ocean. In the book we don't have this part. The kids are already on the beach, but they are not together. 
      The movie lack a lot of details. For example in the book the writer talk about a lot of the characters, the details about the character, they are very well described and in the movie they don't talk to much like in the book.
