The Fly: A Reaction Paper and Funky Picture

      Though the sci-fi horror film, The Fly, lacks details and explanations on the ‘science’ in the story, it goes more interesting as the thrill in the movie builds up. Starts off with a murder scene, then flashbacks where the horror begins, the motion picture would definitely keep viewers to anticipate the next scenes, await the moral decisions of the characters, and visualize the grotesque form of a man-insect as bit by bit a cover unfolds.

      Curiosity killed the cat.

      And the fly-man.

      And the man-fly.

      And the spider that attempted to eat the man-fly.

      Forget the run-on sentences, but the above clichéd line pretty much sums up the film, one way or another. The Fly basically holds ethical questions about scientific experimentations and conduct explicitly on animals and human beings, and the need for precision and consequences for errors. The film also tackles the morals on euthanasia as showed in the part where the scientist had her wife kill him.

      In the eagerness for new discoveries and technological breakthroughs, scientists would boldly step into the unknown. Proportional to how some of the innovations and inventions have been of great help to society, it is feared by many during the time thanks to slippery slopes and rash speculations of the people.
