Reaction Paper (The Fly)

- Krystine Pearl Robles (2013-70142)


                As a teenager with modernistic views, the 1953 film The Fly didn’t catch my interest at all. It is that type of film I would never consider watching. Maybe I just don’t like super old movies starring people with weird clothes and weird haircuts, I don’t know. So as I watched the film, deep inside, I wanted it to the end quickly. Even though, I decided to give it a chance and I was quite amused with the creativity of people back then. All in all I think the plot though was weird and funny.

                I think the film served as a warning so people will not use living things as test subjects and do weird creepy experiments on them. I guess you could consider it as the morality of the play: Never ever play with living creatures because we never know what horrible possible things could happen.

                It somehow reflects on the views on Science and Technology during 1950s. From what I saw on the film, i can conclude that during their time using humans or other living things on dangerous and out of this world experiments is bad and immoral and as of today I think that view is still accepted and practiced.
