  • The Fly (1986).

    I watched it only once, in the 90s, and I’ve never been able to watch it again since. At the same time, I think it’s an excellent film.

    The seemingly light and even humorous beginning of the film is bit by bit replaced by the sheer horror of the gradual loss of humanity and the final transformation into a monster. Simultaneously, in my perception, a glimmer of hope for a good ending is created, only to be ruthlessly destroyed at the very end. Even the music from this film feels overwhelming to me.

    I highly recommend it, but you should never watch it ;)



  • Thanks for the kind words :) I completely don’t understand such childish behaviours, completely out of step with the current world full of actual moral challenges, rather than justifications for becoming agitated over trivial matters because someone said something they don’t like. And yes, I ignore such people. I have enough years under my belt and enough self-awareness not to bother with them. And you are absolutely right that some people, because of being pointed at by the mob for expressing their emotions (especially in a blunt manner), may start to feel guilt and doubt whether what they feel is “correct” and “healthy”. This takes away the arena for clashing viewpoints and is socially harmful. I have a habit of expressing myself in a blunt and graphic way, and I have no intention of changing that. Besides, acting otherwise, I simply wouldn’t survive in adult life and at work.
