The Fly Reaction Paper

John Michael Marquez

2013-19628

The Fly is a mixture of science and horror. Initially, it seemed like one of those old movies that were sort of dull and boring. Yes, I found it uninteresting at first. But as the film moved on, I found myself focusing, paying attention and watching through the film to discover the mystery behind. That's why I found the film both entertaining and interesting given that the film was produced in the 1950s.

I guess that the film was trying to say to the audience that scientific and technological innovations, in the past and even nowadays, have ethical implications. We can see that if scientists have inherent desire for something, nothing can stop them until they get what they wanted. Though some time, it may come to a point wherein they get over the limitations and soon leads to risks and distractions.

The fact that the idea of technological innovation such as teleportation appears to have been growing during the 1950s demonstrates that science and technology is a discipline that is visible at that time. I just want to end this with a line from blogcritics.org, "After the family kitten goes missing during an experiment, Andre tests the machine on himself, but fails to notice one more detail, and now Andre has become The Fly!"
