I got to say watching the fly really does put into perspective on how tame the human centipede actually is, it was emotional and actually disturbing seeing Seth mutate into this insect. This film actually shows if you want to shock PPL, this film does it so well on so many levels. The ending really was one of the most emotional scenes I have seen in a long time So what about everyone else, after over 20 years how many of you like/love this film, or if you do not like it?
I remember thinking this was cool when I saw it 10 or so years ago, and I'm sure it'd still hold up today, especially for people into that kinda stuff. Granted, it might not be the most realistic thing to wrap our heads around, but it was quite a bit more believable than most, especially in how everything was presented.
The Fly is my favorite Cronenberg movie. He was firing on all cylinders with this one. Everything he was good at: moody atmosphere, consequences of science, body horror, all mixed in with a very believable love story from his two finest lead actors ever, come together to create a deeply unsettling, yet provocative story. This is one of those movies I can watch anytime, day or night, and I'll never tire of it.
This topic had all of two posts a decade ago. You keep necro-ing all these ancient dead topics just to say "I like this." Is that really necessary?
I didn't just say I liked it. I said what I liked about it. I supported my opinion as to why I enjoy it. In any case, what am I doing that's offended you so?
Yeah. Bit of a let down. Especially the beginning with what happens to Ronnie. Honestly, the best thing about the sequel was it's trailer. It is chilling.
I like the fly. It's kind of a masterpiece. I liked the old Vincent Price movie, but the Cronenberg version is on another level. A perfect film. It's hugely compelling and Goldblum gives an electrifying performance. I have never had the slightest problem with it. People can ignore threads they don't want to read.
Ian Malcolm is probably his more famous (or least most meme worthy), but Seth Brundle might just arguably be Goldblum's greatest performance. He's funny, manic, dramatic, tragic, heroic, and all those other -ic words. You're right. I wouldn't be against it. I wonder if we'll finally get to see the fly learn how to fly.
