If there’s one thing that THE FLY is, it’s self-aware. The plot of THE FLY is nothing new – it’s been lampooned for decades. The film doesn’t pretend like there is a big mystery to be unveiled – in fact, the audience is along for the ride. We know that, by the end of the film, the main character will have turned into a giant fly-like insect. THE FLY rightly understands that, if the destination is known, a compelling journey toward that inevitable ending is needed to keep the audience engaged.
