Jeff Goldblum

David Cronenberg and every artist who worked on this film inject our minds with a concentrated serum of our greatest fears: the fear of mortality, the fear of aging, the fear of disease. The nausea invoked by our slow degeneration into nothing and the despair at knowing there is nothing we can do to stop it. This is a horror film of genius. People often compare it to Kafka's Metamorphosis and while the two stories seem to have many surface similarities, there is one key difference: The Fly captures how it feels to lose your humanity. The Metamorphosis captures what it means to FEEL like an insect.

0:27 Seth throws that electric shaver really hard, that it exploded into pieces 💥

David Cronenberg is a master of body horror, a genre that explores the anguish and terror related to the transformation of the body. The Fly is one of the most emblematic examples of this genre. The film addresses themes such as mortality, disease, and the loss of control over one's body. Seth's metamorphosis is a powerful metaphor for human vulnerability and the fear of the unknown. Cronenberg doesn't just show us physical horror, but delves into the depths of the human psyche, exploring the most hidden fears. #TheFly #LaMosca #Cronenberg #BodyHorror #Horror #Cinema #Film #Auteur #Fear #Metamorphosis

Its you whose out gobby. out of your mind

You know he's too far gone when his fear turns into morbid fascination and his scientist side kicks in

Oh great, Ive got major food poisoning and the algorithm is giving me The Fly videos. Thanks, algorithm

Guys when they hop on their first cycle of tren

Is this what district 9 took inspiration from?

"Am I dying?" If only that was the case.

This scene is spellbinding.

i always think about the fly slowing turning into a tiny man.

I love how he deconstructs his electric shaver at a molecular-genetic level

Ahhhh....the fingernails 🤮

Me recuerda mi adolescencia 😢

This movie really disturbed me and was so sad.. very great in that way. Superb acting that it made me feel this way…

"Am I dying?" You wish!

The utterest of utter garbage ... but I loved it

I gave never wanted to vomit more

That's why scientist use other test subjects....

This must be similar to what Madame Curie, studying this curious thing called radiation, went through before it killed her. Until then, they didn't even know it was bad for you.

Oh God that part where he squeezed his finger in front of the mirror 😮

Problema: Verdi muore nel 1901. Olmo nasce nel 1901. Nel film Olmo partecipa alla Prima guerra mondiale, ma essendo nato nel 1901 non avrebbe potuto in quanto troppo giovane (la classe più giovane che partecipò alla guerra fu quella dei ragazzi del '99).

I… CANNOT watch this scene. I CANNOT do fingernails. I just cannot. I’ve clipped a toenail too close before and it bled a lot. I’ve accidentally bent nails backwards before. No bleeding but it hurt a lot. I CANNOT deal with fingernail/toenail related things.

the part that gets me is where Seth has to sit down and quitely says "..oh no..." that bit gets me everytime 😢 its probably the scariest thing in the world to not know whats happening to you, your first reaction would be to assume the worst, Am I dying? O.O Jeff really sold the gravity of this moment so well it brings me to tears everytime :O this film is a Masterpiece!

This scene is a great allegory of fear of getting old - Your body is degrading, Your skin old, teeth fall out etc.

This is what would have happened to Peter Parker in reality

Cronenberg talks in this films commentary that this entire scene is analogous to someone in their bathroom discovering physical symptoms of a terminal illness. Goldblum is such a good actor and nailed the fear of someone realizing theyre dying even though we know he is becoming a fly but obviously he knew death was gonna be the outcome of it

I love that District 9 made a nod to this scene

The beast the false prophet and the dragon.

Seth removing his fingernail and the final emergence of the fly at the end are just too much for me. I could handle this when i was younger, but I cant watch it now. 🤣

Why wasn’t interested in poo throughout the movie

This is one of those great movies that you don't really see anymore. Goldblum will be forever immortalized because of this film.

This is like if you get radiation sickness

Stupendo tutto il film

..."what's happening to me?, am I dying? Is this how it starts,my dying?" No Seth. Something much worse is going to happen...you're going to live.

This is what puberty for boys looks like.

His acting ist amazing

GOD BLESS EVERYONE KEEP EVERYONE HAPPY AND HEALTHY AND SAFE 🙏🏼

❤

This should be understood much deeper. This is the tragedy of the scientist who was fanatically devoted to his work. This scene is the culmination of the film when the matter of his whole life turns into a tragedy. This is exactly what awaits people who are ready to go crazy for their work. This is what Cronenberg wanted to say. Brilliant

Soundtrack is amazing and scary

Love it when his freaking ear just fell off later 🤣🤣🤣🤣

FLYDERMAN

You are going to need a bigger tub.

This scene will live in my memory forever

What's really terrifying about his mutation is wondering how doctors would react if he had tried seeing one.😨 Even before those freaky symptoms started showing, I'm pretty sure blood tests would have noticed something off about his genetics.
