Reaction Paper The Fly

Tyrone Caballes

 The movie was, for me, engaging rather than being lost in translation in a manner of speaking. At first impression I thought it was going to be a corny movie but like any other production of that golden era, the substance meant more than the form. They did the most out of what they had in terms of filming equipment and knowledge.

 At that time, people were engrossed in science fiction and related events that movies like these came out. The genius was in how they portrayed the human dimension in something that is so out of this world. The scene where the doctor with his fly of a head was caressing and almost kissing his wife gave of the most universal human feeling of love but also gave us, the audience, the gross feeling of the thought of a big fly with its dirty "lips" kissing a person. Thus the wild reaction of the audience.

 Alas, I didn't have the chance to finish the movies since the movie went on after 4 and I had to be somewhere next. It definitely was a weird movie which left me with a wonder as I was walking out:

                                         "What were the people thinking back then?" :)
