The Fly - Reaction Paper

The Fly  is a science-fiction horror film. The film was about the accident done by a scientist as he tries to use his newly invented teleportation device on living things. The film may be really horrible and disgusting but it was actually entertaining and interesting. The film itself as a science fiction makes it interesting as the audience would really wait for such climax and suspense. I bet that most of its audience really focused on their screens and some even held their breath when a teleportation process takes place. It may look boring and weird but the concept of possibility value of the incidents make the film entertaining.

                Most of us are aware with the ethics particularly in the scientific field. Nothing actually stops anyone from manipulating living things but it’s our society that prohibits such action. Such invention could be possible but such benefits would not redeem its costs as it was shown in the film. Many scientists commit mistakes as they put all their efforts in performing an experiment for one goal while missing their liabilities as they don’t foresee other results with the abstraction of possibilities. Thus, it may be true that people learn from their mistakes but sometimes such mistakes can’t be turned back.  Such things I believe are now written on a scientist’s rule book.

                In the 1950’s, both science and technology are not yet that advanced compared to our current setting.  Scientists in the past used to work just with their apprentice or sometimes alone. Unlike today, we have many scientists regulating as for one team to check on one another’s work. Thus, discoveries are their goals but are always aligned with the human needs unlike in the past that seems increase in knowledge and wisdom is their only goal regardless of costs.
