The Fly Shooting process

The outline of the story conceived by the screenwriter Charles Edward Bogle is very similar to Langland's original work, focusing on the gradual process of the protagonist. After determining the script, Cornfield recruited Mel Brooks to co-produce the film and quit in Bogle. After that, Cornfield commissioned Warren Green to rewrite the script, but the latter's story deviated from the direction, so Cornfield had to find Boge to perfect the script.
When Brooks and Cornfield looked for a suitable director for the film, David Cronenberg was their first choice, but Cronenberg was assisting Dino de Laurentius in the preparation of "Total Memories." So Cornfield decided to use the British director Robert Bierman. Bielman quickly flew to Los Angeles to meet with Pog. Just as the pre-production of the film was on track, Bielman’s daughter was killed in an accident, so Bielman could not resume work in a short time, and the two parties had to terminate the contract.
Later, after learning that Cronenberg had given up "Total Memories", Cornfield again extended an invitation to him. Cronenberg agreed to be the director, but only if he had to rewrite the script himself. Cronenberg's revised script is completely different from Warren Green in style, but still retains the basic plot of the original script.

    "The Fly" is a remake of the 1958 film of the same name and based on the 1957 short story of the same name. The plot line is roughly the same as the original. A scientist's experiments lead to fatal changes and tragedies in his own body, but also joined the More elements and concepts that the director is good at. The loss of hair, teeth, and nails, the asymmetrical proportions of the body, and the mucus secreted by the body create a sense of being close to a person rather than a person. In fact, it also involves the horror of intimacy, the fear of copulation with aliens, aliens, and the creation of the next nondescript, unclassifiable organism whose growth and changes are completely out of any control. The beginning is a common love scene in Hollywood-style realism, but the style itself has a sense of weirdness. With the changes in the subtle features of Seth's body and face, it eventually leads to an imaginary unknown creature without major breaks in the middle. Instead, the gradient unfolds, which adds credibility to the story. Freud described the uncanny qualities of these characters, their horror not coming from their strangeness or difference, but from their familiarity.

The Fly quotes

  • Seth Brundle: [to Veronica] You're afraid to dive into the plasma pool, aren't you? You're afraid to be destroyed and recreated, aren't you? I'll bet you think that you woke me up about the flesh, don't you? But you only know society's straight line about the flesh. You can't penetrate beyond society's sick, gray, fear of the flesh. Drink deep, or taste not, the plasma spring! Y'see what I'm saying? And I'm not just talking about sex and penetration. I'm talking about penetration beyond the veil of the flesh! A deep penetrating dive into the plasma pool!

  • Tawny: There's no elevator, I can't make it.

    Seth Brundle: No, there's an elevator.

    [picks her up in his arms]

    Seth Brundle: There, don't you feel elevated?
