Reaction Paper: The Fly (1958)

Cheers to "The Fly" for its very good story line. Indeed this movie is one of the most entertaining movies i have ever seen. The thrill and suspense still lingers in me for this movie really took my curiosity in active mode. What made it more interesting is the events that took the viewers off guard. Personally, i didn't expect that the movie would have that kind of story and i think that made me like it more. It's not boring and more importantly its educational.

Science and technology displayed a very huge part for this movie to be possible. For one, the movie is on its focus on science in which the story sprouted. Scientists are highly regarded and science is of a main subject. In some way, i think the movie is some kind of a morality play for the main characters have personified abstract qualities. Also, a lesson was presented in the movie about good conduct and character that made it more of a morality play. Though, i liked it more that way because it showed how science is of useful and important to us and how it makes our lives easier, and at the same time can destroy us if we go beyond our limits.

Though, science in a way became a failure in the movie, still i would like to commend how science and technology in the 1950s evolved through time. Of course, its no match in the technology of today but still it's amazing. And besides, without these pioneering technology, everyone would have not thought of creating something more of these "gadgets|" we currently have that became a very important part of our modern life to survive. What's more interesting is that they already have this concept or idea of "teleportation" which is of far futuristic idealism.
