'The Fly' Reaction Paper

The Fly, is a two-faced film showing disgust and fiction. Most likely, it is not the movie for people aged 25 and below since it is filmed in the 1950’s. But it is entertaining and interesting for me because at some points, the film puzzles my head and makes me go “what the heck?! Is that even possible?”. I may say that the technology and inventions of the past were quite different from the present.

We all know how desperate scientists are for new knowledge consumable by human. In fact, sometimes, they even bet on themselves who will reach the finish line first. And also sometimes, mistakes lead to eventual failure. When this happens, scientists crave for more knowledge, reconstructing everything, redefining everything they have ever did and sometimes, the natural occurrence of these things are destroyed or interfered. One good portrayal of this is what the scientist in The Fly did and how he messed up himself that lead to his death in the end.

The scientists in the 1950’s were thirsty of knowledge so thus pushing them to achieve more and more inventions. But still, the technology in the past was still far behind from what it is right now. Although most of them were so determined and hungry to obtain new inventions, most of them fail due to their lack of extent of resources. The thing is, science and technology in the past was completely innovated throughout the years. The far behind inventions were slowly brought to humanity and reality as years passed by.
