Talk:Lord of the Flies (1963 film)

Trivia section[edit]

I removed the first bit of "trivia" in that section, which said that this was the first film to be shot on location. I think that should be called into serious consideration, and thus I removed it until someone gives me a source. 70.176.169.63 05:28, 16 January 2007 (UTC)C.[reply]

Differences between Movie and Book[edit]

It seems like many of the bullet points in this section are copied-and-pasted from the 1990 film's page, or vice-versa.

Some of these "differences" are pointless or even wrong. A film does not intend to show every single detail as in a book. The sow is still killed, whether on screen or just off screen. Should the film have Piggy clean his glasses exactly the same number of times as in the book. These observations have no purpose.

Fair use rationale for Image:Lordofthefliesposters.jpg[edit]

Image:Lordofthefliesposters.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Not Tom Chapin and Hugh Edwards[edit]

According to Tom Chapin's (the singer and brother of Harry Chapin) own web site, Tom Chapin is NOT the actor listed amongst the credits in this film. Accordingly, the hyperlink to the Wikipedia Tom Chapin article should be removed from this article. Here is a link to the FAQ from his (the singer's) homepage http://members.aol.com/chapinfo/tc/tcfaq.html Thank you.

Also, the Hugh Edwards that is linked was 60 years old when the movie was made, so he could not be the same one who actually played Piggy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.235.114.187 (talk) 03:41, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I am removing these links. I stumbled upon the other Tom Chapin's FAQ page over here [1]. --Valistar (talk) 05:44, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Critical Reception[edit]

Here is says that critical reception was mostly positive but according to Roger Ebert "The reviews of Brook's 1963 film version were not glowing ("Semiprofessional . . . crude and unconvincing" - Halliwell; "Patched together" - Kauffmann). But I recall it having at least a certain force, maybe because in 1963 it was still shocking that ordinary schoolkids could be killers - that they had the seeds of evil in them, and, given the opportunity and freedom from the restraints of society, the seeds would grow." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hawjam (talk • contribs) 02:32, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
