THE FLY (1958) REACTION PAPER

I was absent when “The Fly” was viewed in STS class.

I just learned from my classmates that it required a reaction paper, so I downloaded a copy of it. But I have no interest in watching it because of the year it was produced and its uncatchy title.

It was an amazing film; science amazes me, and so does the film.

The film aged more than half a decade, but still the views of science hadn't changed.  As to modern day researches, the same ethics should be applied; the risks should all be noted however small the possibility would be.

Science and technology during the 1950’s was I think successful. Considering the improvements, science indeed was successful. The film also showed how mistakes lead to success. But everyone should consider their limits.

So just try and try..’til it hurts.
