William Golding Films

After watching two films about the novel, Lord of the Flies, I found that what I focused on in each of them was quite different. Comparing the Great Books film to the film about William Golding, I found that the second was more useful. Although set to target a younger audience, I did not get so much new information out of the Great Books film as I did from the latter, and therefore, did not …

…amazing part of Lord of the Flies is that Golding had a vision, and decided to sit down and "trace it". He was so positive that his book was valuable, that he accepted rejection time after time with a knowing, almost smug, smile, and sent it off again to be published. Watching this personality come through the Bragg film was most enjoyable, and I hope this is shown many years ahead in future English classes.
