I only have three letters to
describe the film, The Fly. These are WTF. This movie is the most disgusting,
head-aching, yet interesting science-fiction movie I have ever watched. It is a
tragic love story about a scientist accidentally turning into a half-fly, which
lead to his wife killing him.
To be honest, the movie was very entertaining. One
factor is the effects that they used for the film. Because the movie was a 1958
film, the costume that they used for the half-fly was very funny. It looked
like an alien with big eyes. Another factor is the element of romance included
in the movie. Even though the scientist was already a fly, he still expressed
his love for his wife, which made the film touching. However the scientist, who
was already a fly, even tried to kiss his wife, which made everyone in the room
laugh and feel disgusted.
The main lesson of The Fly gyrates around the idea of
scientists improving their inventions by testing it on live organisms and themselves.
The film aims to make the viewer realize that life is not just something that
we can experiment on. Not just because animals exist, we can already do
whatever we want to them. It also means that we should be careful about the
things that we try, especially to ourselves, because life is not just
something, it is everything.
The film reflects how the society, during the 1950s,
see technology as something that only scientists can understand. It also shows
that during that decade, and I think until now, people do not believe on the
possible effects of science and technology until they see it with their naked
eyes.
