The most surprising part for me is the part which after the boys became into two groups, a boy call “Piggy” was killed in the argument between two groups. The boy who killed him even didn’t care about this. It seemed that the boys on the island start to be cruel to each other. It showed us the dark side of the human mind. I felt very surprise about the cute children’s changes in the film, and I hoped that this situation will never happen in the society.

The most surprising part for me is the part where after the boys split/divide into two groups – a boy called “Piggy” was killed in the argument between both groups. The boy who killed him didn’t even care about this. It seemed that after the boy’s death, the other boys on the island start to be cruel to each other. It showed us the dark side of the human mind/nature. I felt very surprised by the cute children’s changes in personality in the film, and I hoped that this situation will never happen in the society.
