About this product

Product Information

Director Peter Brook's faithful adaptation of William Golding's 1954 novel stars James Aubrey and Tom Chapin as antagonists Ralph and Jack, respectively. When a plane carrying 30-odd British schoolboys out of a war zone crashes on an island, all the adults are killed. The boys organize for survival, naming Ralph as their chief, in charge of providing fire and shelter. Jack is designated to lead a group of boys to hunt the wild pigs that roam the island. Almost inevitably, as time passes, the two boys, representatives of civilization and savagery, begin a deadly struggle for dominance. The frequently invoked image of life as a "war of all against all," in which civility is merely another weapon in the battle to gain one's ends, is given a particularly disturbing twist because it is enacted by children. Brooks shot an enormous amount of footage, a documentary style ratio of 60:1, and used nonprofessional actors to achieve a raw, visceral realism. With a jauntily ironic score by Raymond Leppard, the film succeeds completely in suggesting the chilling malignity that can lurk beneath a bland exterior.

    Items arrived in as described and in perfect condition. They were well packed and shipped the day after my order was placed. I highly recommend this seller. Would certainly buy from them again. Great deal!

    Good day I received your package and was very upset. The fact that they were hit with darts should have been indicated in the description. it is difficult to notice in your photos. But the main thing is the packaging. The only figure not hit by darts is broken. Because each figure had to be packed separately, as I requested. Even Elastolin in this condition is not worth such money...

    Hello - I do not understand what being "hit by darts" means? Also, I only sold you the one Indian figure, and it of course was packaged seperately. Perhaps you have me mixed up with another purchase you made recently?
