The film barely suggests the identification of the devil with a boar's head--the Lord of the Flies. It scarcely explores the complex character of Simon--prophet and martyr--whose murder follows his dialogue with the Lord of the Flies. But it does capture the power of both Golding's story about boys and his philosophy about...
