Hållbus Totte Mattson (usually known simply as Totte Mattson) is a multi-instrumentalist folk musician from Dalarna, Sweden. Mattson’s instruments include the lute, baroque lute, mandora, bass mandora, hummel, classical guitar, baroque guitar Mora-oud, accordion, Swedish dulcimer, hurdy gurdy and vocals.
Mattson was a founding member in 1980 of the seminal Swedish folk ensemble Groupa along with Mats Edén. In 1987, Mattson, Anders Stake (now Anders Norudde) and percussionist Björn Tollin formed the band Hedningarna in order to explore the possibilities of developing a new musical style based on elements of traditional music. The group wrote and played a major part of the music to theatre project Den stora vreden (rough translation: The Great Wrath) at Gävleborgs folkteater (the county theatre of Gävleborg), first time performed in 1988, that attracted much attention. A fairly large portion of the music on their first record was originally performed in that play.
Mattson has also participated in the Swedish musical and dance ensemble Boot with Ola Bäckström (viola d’amore, bouzouki) and Björn Tollin (percussion).
In 1999, Mattson and Stefan Brisland-Ferner of Garmarna began collaborating on a musical project that would involve a novel use of hurdy gurdies, which would expand on the idea that the hurdy gurdy was the medieval equivalent of a synthesizer. In 2005, they released their first album under the name “Hurdy-Gurdy”, titled “Prototyp.” The album consists of twelve traditional and original songs, played entirely on two Swedish hurdy gurdies by Brisland-Ferner and Mattson. Specialized recording and computer editing techniques were used to produce a number of unique musical effects.

Plot
Main article: Lord of the Flies#Plot summary
Location
Filming locations included Port Antonio, Jamaica.
The plot is different from that of the book (as indicated below), but it still is meant to illustrate the same themes, motifs, and symbols.
Differences between the film and the book
In the film, the boys are American military schoolboys, as opposed to British schoolchildren in the novel.
In the film, there is one school of boys; in the novel, there are two.
Ralph is always a friend to Piggy in the film, but isn’t all that nice to Piggy in the beginning of the book.
Owing to the response time of the American Marines (the boys were rescued after only 8 days), the transport they took to the island and the two helicopters, it implies that the crash may have been seen on radar, there was an aircraft carrier nearby, the island was chartered, or the island was close to mainland, whereas in the book none of the above happened.
Piggy doesn’t ask any of the boys what their names are, in the book he asks most of the boys.
The boys don’t use the phrases “Biguns” and “Littluns” for each other in this movie version.
In the book one of the boys presumably dies after the fire spreads out of control, but in the film this never happens.
In the book Ralph and Piggy emerge from the crashed aircraft on the island, and it is implied that the other boys do the same. In the movie, they are brought ashore by a life raft.
In the book, Sam and Eric join Jack’s tribe by force. In the film, they join earlier, possibly because Jack calls them “girls”.
The only characters from the book that are in the film are Ralph, Jack, Piggy, the twins (Sam and Eric), Simon, and Roger. Although one of the boys strongly resembles Percival Weyms Madison (the boy who discovers the cave).
In the film, the children are of differing ethnicity and creed, one boy wears a cross (indicating that he is a Christian), another wearing the Star of David (indicating a Jewish boy), and one boy is African-American while another is clearly Hispanic. In the book, they are all White British and their religious beliefs are not stated.
The characters in the film use harsher profanity than the characters in the book, and more frequently.
Like the 1963 version (which also implied that the events took place over a short period of time), the boys’ hair never grew too long.
The time the boys spent on the island was only 8 days, while it may have been a month or more in the novel.
Instead of a dead parachutist playing the role of “the beast,” Captain Benson plays it here, who was the only surviving adult, but was killed when he scared a boy, exploring a cave in a state of fever hallucinations.
Ralph, rather than Jack, discovers that Piggy’s spectacles can make fire.
The Lord of the Flies never talks to Simon in the film, whereas the novel has Simon experiencing a hallucination in which it speaks to him.
In the book, the Lord of the Flies was safely away from the “beast”, but in the film the Lord of the Flies is right next to it.
The killing of the mother sow is not shown, only the boys chasing and decapitating a pig.
Simon’s death is much less violent in the movie where he is struck with spears, in the book he was bitten and clawed to death by the others.
In the book, Simon is shown to be much more mystical.
Simon has only a few lines in the film.
When Jack leaves the tribe, the whole re-election scene is left out; instead, he just leaves the tribe and asks who wants to come with him.
Piggy is not as courageous as he is in the book.
In the film Sam or Eric names Piggy, whereas in the novel Ralph calls him Piggy after Piggy told him if he were to be called anything, he would not want to be called Piggy.
In the book the boys call the creature the “beast” but in the film they call it the “monster” instead.
In the film Piggy dies from the boulder thrown off of Castle Rock bludgeoning him, but in the book he falls off a cliff after being struck by the boulder.
In the film the conch is never shown being broken. In the book however, it shatters when Piggy is struck by the boulder, symbolizing the loss of order.
In the book, Ralph is described as having blond hair, Simon black hair, and Jack red hair. All three characters have different hair colors in this adaptation.
In the book the vote of the leader is very important, while in the film it is not. Also, Jack seems very upset by the loss of the election to Ralph while in the film he seems to laugh it off.
The reason Ralph is voted leader in the film is that ‘he’s colonel’, whereas in the book it is because he is older and found the conch.
In the movie, Simon had a lizard as a pet. In the book, it was never mentioned.
In the movie, there is a “survival knife”; in the book, there isn’t. Jack does have a knife, but it’s his only and not referred to as a “survival knife.” Jack and his tribe also never have to steal it from Ralph and Piggy because the knife is Jack’s to begin with.
In the novel, all the adults have died in the plane crash. However, in the movie, the pilot survives for a while before he dies.
In the movie a helicopter went near the island, in the book it was a ship.
In the book, Jack broke Piggy’s glasses by punching him. In the movie, Jack did not instead, they stepped on their shelter and possibly stepped on the glasses.
No glow sticks were shown in the book, while in the movie, Simon used the glow stick to see what was in the cave.
It was stated that Simon discovered the “beastie” in day time instead of night time.
When Ralph and Piggy was offered pork by Jack, only Piggy ate it. While in the book, both Ralph and Piggy ate the pork.
Neither Ralph nor Piggy should be awake when Piggy’s glasses were stolen, but in the movie, both were awake.
In the book, Ralph and Piggy did not find any musical instruments in the water. In the movie, Ralph saw it and both of them took it out from the water and Ralph faked to play it.
In the book, it is stated that Ralph took the stick that was sharpened at both end from “Lord of the Flies” and defended himself with it. However, in the movie, Ralph left the sow’s head as it was, and moved on.
When the boys chased Ralph and ran into a marine officer in the book, he stated that he expected better behavior from them. In the movie, the marine officer just asked “What are you guys doing?”
All the boys in the book cried when they met the army officer that came to rescue them, but only Ralph cried in the movie when the officer saved them, although the other boys seemed to be in shock.
In the movie Ralph had an injured left arm (Balthazar Getty broke his arm a few weeks before filming began), in the book it was not mentioned.

Reception
Critics’ reviews were generally mixed to average, with a very slight majority being positive. and the film has a rating of 61% “Fresh” on the movie review site Rotten Tomatoes.
Some cited that the novel in general is somewhat dated and unsuitable for a remake. Roger Ebert remarked in his review that, “events take place every day on our mean streets that are more horrifying than anything the little monsters do to one another on Golding’s island.”
Barrie Maxwell of DVD Verdict commented that the color of the island creates a more superficial atmosphere than the stark black and white of the previous version.
Despite the reviews, the acting of the boys was generally praised.
The movie made $13,985,225 domestically in 919 theaters from its $9,000,000 budget.
