The man successfully transferred the stockings for the bubble woman, but then it was a tragedy
"The rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation", in superhero movies, the male protagonist can often obtain superpowers through sudden mutations.
For example, Peter Parker became Spider-Man because he was bitten by a radioactive spider, so in the 90s, some children who watched the "Spider-Man" cartoon once fantasized about being bitten by a spider.
But Brother Eggplant has lingering feelings about mutation, because as early as the 80s, Brother Eggplant had seen a science fiction film about supernaturality, "Fly Changer"--the scientist in the film merged with a fly because of an experimental accident, but he did not become a "fly man", but gradually became a half-human, half-fly monster.
That strange and heavy-mouthed transformation picture has left an indelible shadow on the childhood of many post-80s.
And the male protagonist Jeff Gaubrunn because of this film also opened up his own cold and strange route, he later participated in many of the movies are science fiction films, including the classic "Jurassic Park".
"Fly man" is a science fiction film like "Jurassic Park", but the temperament is completely different.
The film's director, David Cronenberg, is from Canada, who made a living writing grotesque and terrifying short stories, and after entering the film industry, he has become more "more intense", and his films are known for their horror and sharp style, and "Fly Changer" is one of the most unique.
One
Vynica Quay (Gina Davis), a female journalist at the film story magazine, meets scientist Brondor Seth (Jeff Gobrunn) at a party.
Seth takes her to her residence (which is also a laboratory) and shows her her invention, a device that enables the transmission of objects across time and space.
Subsequently, he experimented with Veneka's stockings and successfully transferred the stockings from one transmitter to another, which surprised Veneka.
Knowing that she was facing a scientific genius, she secretly opened the tape recorder and recorded the conversation between the two of them, preparing to use it as material for the interview to be published.
Seth discovers Vernica's tape recorder and tries to stop her from announcing this great invention.
The original teleporter was not perfect, and could only teleport items, not living people or animals. In order to persuade Vikna to keep it a secret, Seth promised to let Viñica follow his research throughout the process and wait until the teleporter was finally successful to make the news public.
Vernica agreed to Seth's request and spent the rest of the day documenting Seth's research, and the two quickly developed into a couple.
Inspired by Veneka, Seth successfully teleports a baboon, and the teleporter finally achieves the transmission of living things, and the two are surprised and ready to announce this great invention.
At this time, Seth had a bold idea, and after Veneka left, he himself jumped into the teleporter to experience the feeling of being teleported.
However, this time the teleportation had an accident, mixed with a fly, and the computer could not recognize the fly and the person as two creatures, so it and Seth were synthesized together.
Seth, who had merged with the fly, felt a change in himself, and his strength became great, his vision, hearing, smell, taste and reaction abilities became very strong, and he was energetic, as if he had been reborn.
Seth thinks it's all because the body's recombination has made herself an unusual "superman", but Vernica is worried, and she sees set's unusual change.
Extraordinary, once a few minutes at a time, now as many as a few hours at a time.
Seth's body began to grow bristles, disgusting blisters grew on his face, and nails, teeth, and skin began to fall out.
Veneka took the hairs that had fallen off and tested them, and learned that they were insect tissues. Vernica thinks Seth is sick and needs to see a doctor, but Seth insists she's not sick and kicks her out of the house in a huff.
As his body deteriorated, Seth became frightened, and he looked at the data he had transmitted before, only to find that his body had integrated with a fly.
When Vernica sees Seth again, he has become unrecognizable, and Viñica uses a video camera to film the changes in Seth's body and shows it to the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Stasis Bolans.
Later, Vernica discovered something even more serious: she was pregnant, and the child in her belly may also have the gene of a fly.
Vernica decides to have Bolans take her to the hospital for a fetal spaniology, but their conversation is overheard by Seth, who is hiding on the roof. Seth secretly follows Vernica to a private clinic and captures her as she is about to undergo surgery.
Seth carries Vernica back to the lab, who has lost his mind and is ready to put Venica into the teleporter and make her merge with himself.
Just as the teleporter was activated, Bollans then arrived and broke the teleporter's cable with a shotgun, causing the teleportation to fail, and Seth became even more terrifying, becoming a monster.
Eventually Veneka raised her shotgun and, at Seth's request, pulled the trigger painfully.
In the end, Seth died, but Veneka gave birth to the child.

Adapted from a short story by writer George Langland in June 1957, Twentieth Century Fox bought the rights to the novel in 1958 and launched the film of the same name, directed by Kurt Newman.
By the early '80s, producers Kip Auman, Stuart Confield, and screenwriter Charles Edward Pog decided to remake the film, but Fox executives weren't satisfied with the script, and the shooting schedule was shelved.
After the three people's consultation and efforts, the Fox executives reluctantly agreed to the filming and distribution, provided that they had to prepare their own shooting funds.
The director's choice also went through ups and downs, and finally it was decided to be directed by David Cronenberg.
But after Cronenberg joined, he personally rewrote the script, and although the revised script retained the basic plot of Pog's original script, the style was very different, becoming very sharp, and the plot had a cold temperament and strong horror elements.
Cronenberg chose jeff Goldblum, who was not famous at the time, to play the male protagonist Brondow Seth, but was opposed by Fox executives.
They argue that Goldblum is not famous enough to have box office appeal. But Cronenberg insisted on letting Gobrun play because he saw the mysterious and arrogant temperament of Gabrien.
After Goldblum joined, he recommended his girlfriend Gina Davis to play the heroine.
Cronenberg initially refused because he was afraid that the film would mess up a couple, but after Davis auditioned, Konenberg quickly changed his opinion and finally decided to let her star.
Special effects makeup artist Chris Wallas was unhappy with Gaubrunn's looks, believing that Gaubrun's face was too big to make up the ideal makeup.
But he did his best and finally completed the "impossible task". In that era without CG special effects, the gradient process of Seth's body could only be presented through makeup.
It is said that in order to film Seth's transformation into a fly, Valas spent a full 5 hours to make up Gaubrun's face.
The flesh of Seth's face falls at the climax of the film, and the shots that reveal the big eyes of flies are particularly shocking, because of these shots, Wallas won the Academy Award for Best Makeup.

Jeff Gobrunn, a former Broadway theatrical actor, debuted as early as 1974 in tough guy Charles Bronson's classic film The Raptor Freak, but played only a small character.
Later, he remained floating and sinking until he participated in two films in 1983, "Big Cold" and "Space Hero", and began to be remembered by the audience.
"The Fly Man" was the highest performance in the early stages of Gaubrun's acting career.
His unique temperament of wisdom, coldness and grotesqueness is perfectly combined with the image of the scientist Brondor Seth, and the confidence and fear, sadness and madness of the characters are vividly displayed.
The whole process of Seth's mutation is also a terrifying ordeal for the audience.
The film also established a cold and eerie performance style for Gobrunn, and dr. Ian Malcolm, who played him in the Jurassic Park series, and David Levenson, a computer engineer in the Independence Day series, are continuations of this image of scientists.
And now he has joined the "Marvel Movie Package" and become a highly intelligent alien.
Actress Gina Davis was also a rising star in Hollywood when she starred in the film.
After this film, she was favored by the big director Tim Burton, starred in two films "Beetle Juice" and "Unexpected Passenger", and won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for "Unexpected Traveler".
Since then, she has become a popular actress in Hollywood, collaborating with Jim Carrey in the film "Alien Adventure"; in 1991's "Crazy Flowers", even Brad Pitt became a green leaf around her; and in 1992, "Pink League" was a sports inspirational film co-starring with Tom Hanks.
In this year's "model sister" Jessica Chastain's new film "Ava", you can still see the figure of Gina Davis, who plays the mother of the heroine killer Ava in the film.
The 64-year-old has been blessed, and her face is also wrinkled, without the appearance and temperament of the past, but the style is still not reduced.

Flyfinders was a rare hardcore sci-fi film of the 1980s, winning the Saturn Awards for Best Horror Film, Best Actor and Best Makeup at the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films in 1987.
Later RELEASES also sold well, and in 2006 it was nominated for a DVD for Best Classic Film at the 32nd Saturn Awards.
In 1989, Fox also released a sequel, Flymaker 2, which revolves around the children born to Brondo Seth and Vernica Quay.
The director of the film was replaced by Chris Wallas, a makeup artist, who is more like a male version of "Xenomorph" than the previous work, and it is also a very good thriller.
Although these two works in the "Fly Man" series are low-budget films, they occupy a place in the science fiction film works of the 80s, and both the science fiction film and the horror film list cannot ignore its existence.
Although the level of special effects at that time was not high, but now you can still feel the strong shock of the plot in it, and interested partners can find a look.
