     As the movie started with some kind of mysteriously creepy music, I thought it was a horror story. I got really confused when I saw the title "The Fly" and I think it would be so ridiculous to make a movie about a fly. The first part was so weird because of the woman who is so obsessed with flies and she killed her own husband. But on the latter part, it turned out to be about a scientist who created a disintegrator-integrator machine that could teleport anything from one place to another. I don't think that the movie is entertaining for me since it's some kind of an old fashioned movie and is too fictional but it is quite interesting seeing how people were so into inventions a long time ago.

    Scientists and their underground laboratories at home and their not so modern equipment. The movie showed how the scientists from the past are so into inventions. How passionate they were for new innovations and their eagerness to make things that would benefit everyone. It is a morality play since Andre, the scientist wanted to kill himself since the accident happened and also before that, his wife already told him not to use animals for the experiments. This movie could've had a happy ending only if the scientist himself was very careful with the technology.

   Science and Technology in the 1950's would be something that I would compare to a kid. It is still developing and is learning more and more everyday. The characteristic of the scientist in the movie shows how important is the innovation for them because he knows that this would make a big thing to everyone and it would really help for future inventions. With their not so modern equipment, they are more curious and more eager to find out more about where technology would be able to take them.
