"Oh Piggy"
The character of the chubby kid, "Piggy" still comes to mind when I think of any situation when there's a loner in a group. Piggy has asthma, glasses, he's overweight... but, by far the most entertaining character in this film.
I love his story of the town where he grew up "The true story of Camberley". He tells it to the little ones of the group of boys on the island, when everyone else is off hunting and gathering, figting and acting like animals.
I love Piggy, and may he rest in peace.

I quite agree with you. I saw this several months ago, and found the scene with Piggy telling the 'true' story... just beautiful; the beginning of the society's collective myths and memory, and perhaps, the first steps to some sort of civilized order. Yes, God rest his soul.
This was simply, a great film.
