This time it is the space version of Lord of the Flies. . . . [Lord of the Flies] in 1963 and 1990 was adapted from the Nobel Prize-winning novel by British writer William Golding. It has a long history of widespread influence. Although it is wrapped in children's literature, it contains profound thinking about society and human nature. . Although it is not as well-known as "Animal Farm" or "Nineteen Eighty Four" in China, it has a better reputation in Western literature. The king of horror Stephen King also said that if he was asked to recommend a book that he reads repeatedly to his children, there would only be "Lord of the Flies".

This time the story takes place on a spaceship flying to a new inhabited planet in space. After the bizarre death of their captain, the young crew of 30 teenagers fell into chaos. After succumbing to the primitive animal nature of mankind (after stopping taking blue, which blocks emotions), these teenagers assembled into different tribes, and the hunting and fighting between the tribes began. Of course, humanity is finally returned, and the surviving humans arrive at their expected destination.

It is recommended to watch the 1990 and 1963 editions of Lord of the Flies.

Other:

The name "Lord of the Flies" comes from Hebrew and is considered a symbol of filth and feces in the Bible. In the movie, it is a sacrifice to the "wild beast" of a pig's head covered with flies. It is precisely because of the worship and fear of this ultimate evil that people finally lose their minds. But such a beast has nothing but its appearance, and you will discover the true meaning of a "paper tiger" by uncovering its skin. It is a pity that the masses are stupid, and they cannot admit the simplest truth. And the children who knew the truth were either killed by mistake as a "beast" or hunted down as a "beast". In fact, the truth is the weapon that the ruler fears most. William Golding once summed up in his novels, "Evil comes from man, just like honey comes from a bee!". Indeed, this disorder has planted the seeds from the very beginning of the establishment of civilization.
