William Goldings 1954 Lord of the Flies has entered the public lexicon to the point where in any survival situation someone will inevitably quote the book. The book is a stunning take on human nature, and the barbarism and anarchism that comes with total emancipation from society. The TV show 'Lost' had a similar premise, and while the show descended into a cryptic maze with a disappointing ending, the need to remind people of the savagery at the heart of humans is one which must be told. The book was made into a film in 1963 and 1990, but both adaptations are dated in modern terms. We now live in a society where it is almost unimaginable to be separated from our precious smartphones and wifi, a good adaptation of the book would serve as a symbolic reminder of the savage nature of the wilderness. This classic novel features an abundance of scenes primed and ready to be made into a cinematic masterpiece; the scorched earth chase scene in its climax; the need to hunt; the threat of the nonexistent beast; the rudimentary campsite; the yearning for fun. The themes of the book and the fundamental understanding of the deep and savage root of human nature could so easily be explored in a good film adaptation, and it is strange that worthy adaptation has yet to grace the screens of Cinemas.
