Jeff Goldblum Deconstructs His Iconic Role In "The Fly" | Hell & High Water Podcast

[@Sterls_yt]

“I’m an insect who dreamt he was a man, and loved it. But now the dream is over, and the insect is awake” is such a great line. This movie is such a perfect blend of horror, romance and tragedy.

[@jermainehaslam5634]

I bet Goldblum was thinking to himself as he watched his performance back " I was fucking awesome in that film" and he totally deserved an oscar for the range of different emotions he was able to express throughout this masterpiece!

[@MoonwalkerWorshiper]

To be honest he had to make complex stuff come through layers of thick makeup.

[@ozymandiasultor9480]

He was covered in heavy monster makeup, so i think that probably played a factor in why he didnt get the award.

[@victorugbodaga754]

R rated.

[@Right_Said_Brett]

The Academy doesn't generally like to acknowledge horror films. The genre is viewed as "dirty" and "base". Of course, the Academy Awards are a sham regardless. It's all about politics and bolstering whichever movie benefits the perception of the industry as a whole in the eyes of the general populace. That's why so many subpar films about political issues will sweep up all the awards, whilst a genuine masterpiece such as The Fly will be left out, hung out to dry. It doesn't really matter though. The Fly and Jeff Goldblum's performance in the film will live on for centuries to come. That's the true mark of a classic, not some shiny award at a back slapping awards ceremony for the rich and famous.

I love the way that Jeff Goldblum is silently reenacting the scene from the movie as he watches it back. Even though he's not on a set and he's not being paid to emote, he can't help himself from going straight back into that scene emotionally and recreating the performance.

My thoughts exactly! If you're interviewing an actor about a part he played, & want his take on his experience making it. Let the man answer your questions. You don't talk over him & interrupt him. Because it ceases to be about the actor. You end up making the interview all about you "The Great Journalist".

[@ettajfan5882]

Agree! He squandered time by blathering on and on. Eesh.

[@Right_Said_Brett]

It was an incredibly frustrating interview. The part where the interviewer asks Jeff Golblum a question (two questions in fact) and the moment that Goldblum opens his mouth to answer those questions, the interviewer cuts him off and starts talking about his own feelings about the movie. Not only is this poor etiquette but it also resulted in Jeff not answering the questions he was asked. Kind of blows my mind (like a shotgun to a Brundle-Fly) that someone that incompetent can become a professional interviewer. The key to a great interviewer is to know when to ask a question, when to prod for elaboration on the answer and when to just shut the f**k up and allow your subject talk.

[@jaredsilvers2782]

He 100% would be nominated for an oscar for that level of performance today. The 80's were weird there was this backlash against violence and grotesqueness in film.

[@mattfox6263]

It was then that the academies were seeing what they saw. Art. And yes today he would have definitely gotten a nom or even a win for best actor in that movie.

[@MorbidMattski]

Horror movies to this day still don’t get anywhere near the respect they should. And really, I can still only recall the silence of the lambs as the only “horror film” ever winning anything although it’s still debated whether or not it’s actually horror. But what a lot of people don’t realize is the film has to be submitted for consideration for an Oscar, and in order to do that you have to put a lot of backing and money behind it. Naturally back then they didn’t bother with promoting anything like this for an Academy Award which is a shame because it is absolutely a masterful performance by Jeff and a very good film.

Notice he holds his neck after watching the scene which is a known reflex of actors who have gone through a full head make up transfer, like he had to remove his real head to be replaced by a fly. His reflex brings back those feelings and power of such incredible makeup. A living legend. One of the most cherished actors of our time. Thanks Jeff

Everything about "The Fly" scared the living hell out of me as a kid in the 80s. From Jeff Goldblum's odd appearance, his character and transformation to the music. For years any movie role Jeff Goldblum starred in, all I could see was the fly. It wasn't until "Thor: Ragnarok" when I was able to see him in a new light. Even with the Jurassic Park films, all I could see and hear was Seth Brundle from "The Fly". That's a classic horror movie and character...they don't make 'em like that anymore.

[@stuffandnonsense8528]

The Fly is now and always will be a great movie. And obviously JG is central to that greatness. I think it is important to recognise how physical his achievement is in this film, not only in the physicality of his acting but also because part of the horror is in seeing a beautiful man rot alive.

The character is so likable. You are rooting for him until the bitter end. Jeff captured the essence. This was a performance of a lifetime. You can see as Jeff watches that scene just how much of himself he poured into that character. I'll always love that film. It's so hard for me to watch now. Science does this.

The Fly remake is great. Jeff is moved by his performance, not because it’s him, but because of Cronenberg’s writing. It really was something special.

[@chrisbirch4150]

Yeah that passage of writing is unbelievable. Basically the only point in the speech is that the fly's consciousness and drives are taking over so he is becoming dangerous, but the way it sets it up with his almost delirious politics analogy is ingenious. Rather than having him giving an obvious impassioned warning to stay away, it's like he wasn't entirely there. So for Veronica (and the viewer) it's like his mind is decaying as well as his body. I just don't know how Cronenburg came up with it.

I vividly remember watching "The Fly" with my dad on Christmas Day when I was about 10 or 11. At the time, I was terrified of horror movies, so I never understood why he chose that film. I felt sick afterward, and the experience stayed with me. However, years later, I decided to rewatch it, and this time, it left me deeply moved. What I once saw as a horror film revealed itself to be a heart-wrenching tragedy-a love story wrapped in the agony of watching someone you care about succumb to a terminal condition. Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis deliver brilliant performances that make this film unforgettable. "The Fly" is more than just a horror movie; it’s a timeless exploration of love, loss, and the human condition.

Jeff supercedes the horror genre and was bigger than the grotesque. His acting prowess shines through

This is my favorite all time horror movie and it broke my heart, but seeing Jeff's own reaction towards it broke it twice. What a legendary artist.

I feel like I'm not the only one who's waiting for John to stop blabbering and just let Jeff say what he wants to say. Bet even Jeff feels the same.
