The Fly,Kurt Neumann,1958,c

[stanssoapbox]

I saw this on TV a few weeks ago and it didn't bother me at all same as it didn't bother me watching it now. I guess that at the age of 45 i have finally got used to it. Too many times watching it in youtube coupled with the fact that on youtube it is shown in small segments preventintg you to get into the characters and also the small screen size doesn't help.

However only a few years ago i wouldn't let my girfriends 15 yo daughter watch it on TV because i considered it too disturbing.

[MegaWeezyFBaby]

my father saw this when he was 13 in the cinema WHEN IT CAME out!! my father told me about the movie and he never forgot the "HELP HELP" scene he says

thats the reason why im looking for this piece of this film....

[dirty06maggot]

[Simbabbad]

@Myuutsuu85

And yet you're posting on the Internet using a computer and have probably a cell phone and certainly use medicine, which are all "messing around with natures laws". And you say you're glad someone DIED because he did the same thing... you're a hypocrite.

[Myuutsuu85]

@Simbabbad

You are pretty foolish. This things were NOT created by violating any laws.

And i am not glad that someone died. I am sad that someone died not by nature, but by man. It would be a fitting end, if nature got his revenge for this faux pax.

[Simbabbad]

@Myuutsuu85

Any current modern technical toy you're using has been created the exact same way he created his telepods. When phones were invented, making your voice travel from one point to the next was seen as unnatural. Same for TV transmitting images, and same for computers seen as "thinking machines", and same for walking on the moon.

All those were seen as "violating nature's laws" by rabid obscurantist fools in their times. What kind of "law" are you talking about anyway?

[Myuutsuu85]

@Simbabbad

how can you say this, anyway? There is quite a difrence between using electricity, wich we have allso in lighnings, or medicine, that got properly synthsized from some plants. Natures laws where not violated by this. But a disintegrator-integrator, wich mixes atomes to create some bizare creature shall not exist. And i am pretty sure it cant exist.

At least, not yet.

[Simbabbad]

@Myuutsuu85

People said the EXACT SAME THING of all those inventions and most others in their time. And even back then some foolish mob called for the inventor to be killed because he was "violating nature". And now everybody is enjoying those inventions. It'd be the exact same for telepods, which could solve the oil crisis and save the civilized world as we know it.

[Myuutsuu85]

@Simbabbad i'll give up

[ArnorS123]

this is on the Top Ten of the best movie scenes ever!

[nickrock6]

OMG A TINY FLY RUN!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

[Supernegromagic]

Man that was disturbing

[VideoGameFan4]

This calls for a wilhelm scream!

[fkerpants]

Hahahahhahahahaha!

[keychainere]

STOP STARING AND HELP THE GUY!!!!

And by help I mean don't throw a rock.

...

Idiots.

[wrestlemaniac8]

They couldn't save him. The wife already killed his human body. The killing was an act of mercy.

BTW, you try seeing a fly with a human head and tell me you wouldn't stare.

[AledoCasizzle]

Jesus Christ that was fucking disturbing.

[Slaviccommie]

This is what doctor get for fucking with nature...

[berrypievision2]

I like the theme of the remake, with it being about experimental technology, rather than a theme of "not fucking with nature."

[Slaviccommie]

Well, it remake it is actually too fucking with nature, it is in both movies of teleportation stuff right?

[berrypievision2]

No...here's the wikipedia excerpt from it:

A popular misconception about the film is that it embraces the notion that "there were some things man was not meant to know", as many "mad scientist" films did. However, Cronenberg has stated that the movie instead chronicles an early experiment-gone-wrong of a revolutionary new technology, much as early experiments with radiation led scientists to suffer from radiation poisoning.

[Slaviccommie]

I see. It means that before every revolution in technology, there were human costs.

That's pretty smart.

Actually what I thought when I was thinking about movie is that smart scientist as Seth Brundle should know that presence of any other organism in machine could mix them.

[berrypievision2]

[t means that before every revolution in technology, there were human costs.]

No, it doesn´t mean that at all. It was just a story around the concept that untested technology can have bad side effects if you are not careful.

[Slaviccommie]

Well, not every, but people payed much for many technology news, that was at first considered as great, and later people get fucked up by it.

Just like that radiation thing.

[berrypievision2]

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say, but that "radiation thing" doesn't make much sense. Are you saying research into nuclear science has been all bad? That's ridiculous and uneducated.

[Slaviccommie]

Of course it was not all bad, but many bad things happened.

Fuck, my cousin is slightly alergic on sun because her mother was pregnant in 1986, when Chernobyl exploded.

[berrypievision2]

Uh, one accident? Again, I have no idea what you are trying to say. Im not for nuclear power myself, its too polluting, but I have no idea what that has to do with anything.

[Slaviccommie]

Whole case is simple as slap.

You saying that every untested technology can have bad side effects, and I saying it's truth, and it was same with chernobyl.

They were doing testing with nuclear reactor, they screwed up, and results are bad.

[berrypievision2]

I never said that, and exactly what are you talking about? It's hard to understand you. And how come you're responding to weeks old post?

[berrypievision2]

Uh, Nuclear energy wasn't an untested technology then, the incident occurred because of crappy, unmaintained technology and the poor infrastructure of the Soviet Union.

[Slaviccommie]

Soviet union was very well, but one man screwed it. Sorry for late answer.

[berrypievision2]

The whole "fucking with nature" thing is just some dumb hippy concept, and is a lousy plot point.

[lovefink2]

so.. wheres the fly with human body?

[theotherspartan]

Watch the movie.

[jodakid15]

i am never going to forget that scream

[spacepatrolman]

kurt newman did kronos too

[feralsuleyman]

Help me, help meeeeeeeeeeee. That's just classic.

[Fapsamup]

Man, this is sic but super cool! Even now this looks verry disturbing.

[stanssoapbox]

Press 'watch in high quality', enlarge to full screen, turn the sound right up and watch alone in a dark room just before bedtime, prefereble whilst not eating & prepare yourself for some very disturbing dreams.

[stanssoapbox]

I don't think i'm gonna sleep tonight.
