    "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.
