See, now we(the audience) knew all along what was going on because we saw the fly in the telepod with him. I think that was a mistake. We should NOT have known about the fly in the telepod and found out in this scene just like he did. I think it would've been a killer reveal!
This scene in particular still frightens me to this day, and the music also plays in part with the suspension and discovery. The fact that he’s realizing that he is no longer Seth Brundle and the fly is no longer a fly. They are now one in the same. A new being altogether. Not a human, not a fly, but a human/fly hybrid. Just…… horrifying.
This scene always gives me the chills because I remember the first time I saw this movie and when that computer showed him that picture of the fly, I was like oh my God in shock and horror because I can’t stand insects especially a fly 🤢 when the computer said that his genetic DNA was fused with the flies, genetic DNA at a molecular level and seeing his face reaction at the end, it said that he was done for
You can just feel the fear and last minute of realization of not being able to discover a way out of those freaky mutation symptoms.😢 He must have been terrified deep down while his body was getting worse.
As a molecular genetics guy myself I loved this sequence. It all came down to the fact he'd failed to program failsafes into the teleporter. One as simple as what to do in case it found two distinct organisms in the pod when doing matter analysis. It definitely could tell there *was* two organisms there - but not what to do with them. So it ran the sequence anyway, and did what it was programmed to do - deliver one organism to the other pod. And then the dawning horror when it showed what it had scanned in that pod, besides just himself. A fly. What happened to the fly? "Fusion." Define: "Fusion." "Fusion of Brundle and fly at the molecular genetic level." It had *spliced their chromosomes together.* And then he knew that the ride had just started, and it was going to get very, very, *very* rough.
It's funny how a ordinary fly slowly became his worst nightmare after the machine got confused and somehow combined both him and the fly together. Love this film to death, it is easily one of my favorite body horror films!
I might’ve mentioned this before somewhere. Can’t remember. Awesome film, but realistically(in a film full of probably unscientific realities), if this could be done, wouldn’t he have come out fully transformed? I don’t understand why he would be normal and then mutate.
In reality, what happened was that Brundle let someone else into his workplace, and to make matters worse, a woman, and he fell in love with her. This caused him to be careless. Conclusion: Don't fall in love when you're doing delicate work
It's trappings is body-horror, but you are correct---it is a tragic love story. My sister and I have said that as well. Truly heartbreaking. Even John Getz is also great in this film.

Also if ya dig and enjoyed this video on Jimmy 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. Also I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on RU-vid. 😀
Masterpiece either itself or beyond as is Aliens(1986.7.18); had their filming dates been swapped, their qualities could remain absolutely the same; even if The fly(filmed 1985.9.30 ~ 12.31, released 1986.6) Aliens(filmed 1985.12.1 ~ 1986.3, released autumn 1986)
