The Fly Reaction Paper

The Fly (1958) is both a science fiction film and a horror film. What makes the film interesting and entertaining is the fact that is it both sci-fi and horror at the same time. A film about science alone would be boring especially for teenagers or young audiences while a horror film alone would be thrilling but you will not get any lessons or new knowledge from it. A film about science with a splash of horror in it would be perfect for young, teen and adult audiences.

People, especially scientists, would not be filled if it comes to hunger for knowledge. Knowledge is power, knowledge is wealth. Inventions and new knowledge would bring benefits to us but sometimes I think life would be better if some things are left untouched. Yes, such inventions like a transporter device would be a great innovation for human beings but working on such experiments that alters the nature itself can bring you horrible things or even death itself.

In the 1950s, technology is not yet so advance that is why, like in the movie, some scientists are failing on their inventions. I think scientists back then have the idea and the formula to such technologies and inventions but lack resources so their experiments lead to failure. The thing is, we will never be tired of seeking new knowledge, inventing new technologies. Every day, new knowledge and inventions come to humans’ lives. There will come a time when impossible inventions from 1950 will be invented by someone, somewhere, somehow. Maybe tomorrow, who knows?
