Say Hello to My Little Film: Episode 214 - Lord of the Flies (1990)

On this week's episode of SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FILM, Ray takes Rob back to high school by recommending the 1990s screen adaptation LORD OF THE FLIES! This film based on the 1954 book by Sir William Golding stars a young Balthazar Getty as Ralph, the natural leader of a band of military students who find themselves stranded on a remote island after a savage plane crash. With no hope in sight, the group take to setting up their society which quickly becomes treacherous as factions break off and tensions begin to rise. With supporting performances by Chris Furrh (EXILE, A FAMILY FOR JOE), Danuel Pipoly (THE TORKELSONS, THE GIANT OF THUNDER MOUNTAIN and a debut performance by JAMES BADGE DALE (THE DEPARTED, IRON MAN 3), this slice of classic literature dissects how long society can stand when all rules seem to fade away. 

Will this trip down memory lane prove to be nostalgic for Rob? Or will his lukewarm feelings about the source material leave this film in the past? Tune in this week to find out!
