The film tells the tragic story of a scientist, Seth, who has undergone tremendous changes due to a failed experiment. The film is filled with loneliness from beginning to end. Lonely work means he is not noticed.
The film opens with a party where Seth goes to Seth's house after meeting a female reporter, Venica. Saw him doing lonely work and visited the teleporter. Let Venica experiment with her own stockings, and the results are unexpected. After seeing it, Venica was eager to make the results public. But in the end, Seth persuaded Venica to publish it when he was able to teleport life forms with generous conditions.
After repeated failures, the two gradually fell in love, and Seth's experiment of teleportation with a baboon was also successful. When he found out that Venica's ex-boyfriend was his boss, he experimented with himself in a fit of rage. But Seth has changed dramatically since then. He became cranky, powerful and energetic. Like Superman. He was full of confidence and pride. But he felt lonely. After a while his back was covered with bristles. Venica surreptitiously brought the bristles to the lab and it turned out to be an insect. This unexpected result shocked Venica. She suggested that Seth go check it out and get rejected. Driven away by an angry Seth.
When Venica left, Seth's body changed dramatically, and he discovered that he was not a superman, but an alien. So, the inner loneliness becomes that fear. His fear is not life and death but that he is no longer himself. First, the skin begins to fester, and then the hair, teeth, and fingers begin to gradually fall out. Slowly, the body began to deform. He was plunged into fear and could not extricate himself.
At the end of the story, Seth tried to forcibly reconcile Venica through the teleportation device, and he wanted to turn his girlfriend into a person like himself. That way he doesn't feel lonely anymore. Seth eventually becomes a xenomorph and fuses with the cable.
This film runs through the feeling of loneliness from the beginning to the end, and the feeling of loneliness is sublimated to fear. A good description of how to become an alien both physically and mentally.

    A poignant love story. The costumes of the actors inside are all amazing, and it has a sense of sight of Mr. Yamamoto

He has never done the iconic movement of a fly: rubbing his hands! David Cronenberg as an insect lover.

  • Ronnie: Do you ever change your clothes?

    Seth Brundle: What?

    Seth Brundle: Your clothes. You're always wearing the same clothes.

    Seth Brundle: No, these are clean. I change my clothes every day.

    Ronnie: [Veronica looks into his closet and finds five sets of the same suits, ties, shoes and pants] Five sets of exactly the same clothes?

    Seth Brundle: Learned it from Einstein. This way I don't have to expand my thought on what I have to wear next, I just grab the next set on the rack.

    Stathis Borans: She's pregnant and she wants an abortion.

    Brian: In the middle of the night?

    Stathis Borans: We have good reason to believe this child will be deformed.

    Brian: Yeah, but in the middle of the night...

    Stathis Borans: Look, Brian, please.

    Brian: Is it your child?

    Stathis Borans: No. It's the... child of a man who is deformed.
