What would you do if that happened to you? Would it have been any different if there had been a bunch of 12 year old - girls on the island?
With girls instead of guys? Not very different. There might have been a longer "play nice" period, but the end result would have been pretty much the same. The fat kid would still get picked on, the popular kids would band together to rule ruthlessly. The voice of reason would still be hunted down. There would have been more hair braiding and sunbathing, but it would have ended the same way. Girls are probably more cut-throat that boys.
Change the age to 18 (or 26 year olds calling themselves 18) and you'll have a great premise for some shitty cinemax porn movie to be.
Most girls are a bit bitchy, so the 'play nice` time would be shorter. but i never watched the movie I just read the book
LOL the girls would be more interesting. They'd bitch behind each other's backs and then tell the other people what everyone else says.. it'd be a lot more complicated and probably more entertaining for a period of time. I've only seen the very old version of this film I think the book is a lot better.
Lord of the flies was an awesome movie. I watched it when it first came out in like '90 or '91 (i was little but, i still remembered it.) My favorite was Ralph (Balthazar Getty). I hated it when piggy(Danuel Pipoly) got killed by Roger w/that huge rock.. LOL i wish it would have showed what happened to those little heathens in the end w/the marines showed up!!!!!!!
I love the movie but I can't watch it because my favorite character is Piggy. I wonder if he's the favorite of most people? As for girls ... hey, I teach adolescent girls in a residential setting and when we all are on very similar menstrual cycles we all PMS around the same time. The play nice period wouldn't last very long and rather than a group of children being rescued, there'd be one rather chubby girl (having cannibalized all the others)
I've seen the original movie but not the 1990 remake. Had the group consisted of girls instead of boys, the situation would not have deteriorated to the extent to which it had. also, there would have been more cooperation as the girls paired off Hotwater
I have watched the sixties movie and read the book. Brilliant if you ask me..... The ending could be better though- theres a big message about how cruel man kind can be the whole way through ect ect.... But then a perfectly happy ending. Ralph should have died and had his head put on a stick (like Roger was going to do) That would have sent an even stronger message.... they should only have gotten saved after that. I think if it was girls there would be less physical violence- until later on. But more emotional violence in that bitchy way. I think if piggy was a girl she should have killed her-self rather then be killed by roger.
I have watched the 1990 remake about a hundred times and it still never gets old. I like that version better than the original. Piggy and Ralph are my favorite characters. As far as if they had been girls and not boys.. I seriously doubt that it would have turned out like it did with the boys.. Girls are not violent like that.
