What were some of the similarities and differences between Golding's novel?

Question

What were some of the similarities and differences between Golding's novel and the movie Lord of the Flies in 1963, and how might we improve the film and make it related to the story's theme if we had the chance to make the same movie in 2021?  

The theme is When civilization does not exist, humans are susceptible to change, going from good to evil.

Please help! me with this information as I am struggling

Answer 1

The one difference you could discuss is the internal monologue of Simon as the novel progresses. He has internal thoughts that could be better expressed through interesting cinematography (like how the recent Dune movie handles Paul's visions/dreams.) He says the beast doesn't exist and that "maybe it's only us." The visions he has and his "conversation" with the Lord of the Flies could be made much more unsettling - like a horror film with the ultimate villain being expressed through the the death of Simon (loss of philosophical understanding and responsibility)and Piggy (loss of rational thinking)
