Uma kukhulunywa iqiniso, bekungeyona iLate yendabuko ePhathini. Kwakungekhona ukuthi ngangingakaze ngikubone The Fly, kuphela lokho ngemuva kokudlula isikhathi esingaphezu kweminyaka eyishumi, ngimane angikhumbuli nakancane okushayekile kukaDavid Cronenberg okusindisa icebo elijwayelekile noma ukuthi kufakwe uJeff Goldblum noGeena Davis.

Ngale kwalokho (futhi UPatti Pauley incwadi yothando oluqhakazile ye iminyaka engu-30 yefilimu), noma kunjalo, ngangena The Fly ngamehlo amasha, futhi ngingasho ukuthi engikuthokozele kakhulu ubulula bayo. UCronenberg wagxila kubalingiswa kunokuba enze izimangaliso ezibabazekayo ezenziwe "izinzwa ezintsha" zikaGoldblum, okuyisinqumo, ngemali yami, esenze umsebenzi ongahlekanga.

Kulabo abangazi, uGoldblum wadlala uSeth Brundle, usosayensi okhaliphile kodwa oqaphelayo onqenqemeni lokuphelelisa ezokuxhumana. UBrundle uhlangana nentatheli uVeronica Quaife (Davis) kanti le ndaba isuka kuQuaife ikholelwa ukuthi uBrundle uyiflake yokufuna ukwephula indaba yempilo yonke ukuwela uchwepheshe we-quirky. Faka impukane engokoqobo emafutheni bese uBrundle ethola ukuthi uhlanganiswe nezimpukane ezenzeka zahlala kutelepod ngesikhathi sokuzama futhi unakho okhuthaza ifilimu.

IGoldblum yayikhazimula ngokuphelele njengeBrundle. Masibe neqiniso, ngubani ongasusa umdlandla ngenkathi enezinkinga emphakathini kangcono kunoJeff Goldblum?

Qiniseka, umlingiswa onjengoBrundle akulula ukumuka. Lokho kusho ukuthi, uGoldblum ubethele isimo se-oddball ngobuntu bukaBrundle ngaphambi kokundiza kwezimpukane, kepha waba nezingqungqulu ezinkulu zokukholisa njengomuntu onolaka futhi ongenasineke "uDkt-Ian-Malcolm-on-crack" post-metamorphosis. UGoldblum wayenentelezi engenacala, ebuzayo yemilingo uDavid Copperfield (hlola izinwele futhi uzoqiniseka ukuthi uyavuma), kodwa ubunjalo bomlingiswa ofuna izimpendulo kwakudinga umlingisi owayengakwazi ukukhuluma ngaphandle kokucabanga. Qamba umlingisi onekhono ngokwengeziwe ekubonakaleni ukuthi imigqa yakhe iye yavela ekhanda lakhe ngaphambi kokuba ayifiphaze futhi ngizokukhombisa umqambimanga.

I-chemistry phakathi kweGoldblum neDavis yayingenakuphikwa. I-banter ehlakaniphile futhi edlalayo kanye nokuhlelwa kwe-fusion yabo kuhanjiswe ngaphandle komthungo, futhi ngenxa yalokhu okukhulunywe ngenhla okuphuma kubalingiswa babo abafanele, ngokunengqondo.

Futhi ubonga noma yini uNkulunkulu oyithandazelayo eCronenberg engakwazanga ukuyisebenzisela i-CGI The Fly ngoba kumuntu omdala ofunda njengami, imiphumela ebonakalayo izohlala ilunqoba usuku. Ukwakheka nemiphumela kwakuyinto encane futhi lapho ihlangene nendaba nokwenziwa kweGoldblum noDavis, kuvunyelwe The Fly ukuhlala ifilimu esabekayo ngenhliziyo kunokungena enganekwaneni engazi ukuthi kufanele iyeke nini.

Ngokuyinhloko ifilimu ibhala ukubhujiswa okuhamba kancane kodwa okuzinzile kwabo bobabili abalingiswa. UGoldblum ngokwengqondo nangokomzimba noDavis ngokomzwelo. UDavis ufanisa ikhono likaGoldblum njengowesifazane ozithola edabukile phakathi kokusindisa indoda ayithandayo nokwesaba ukuphepha kwakhe. Futhi, i-pacing iyabonakala ngoba i-Goldblum noma i-Davis ayisheleli kakhulu masinyane. Esikhundleni salokho, bayawohloka ngokuqhubekayo, futhi yini enye, ngokukholwayo kuze kube yilapho ngamunye efinyelela ezingeni lokungabuyeli.

Phakathi nendawo kukhona uStathis Borans (John Getz), owayeyisoka likaDavis kanjalo nomhleli wephephabhuku lakhe. Yize edlala indawo yesikhwama se-douche esine-jilted nesikhwele ekupheleleni, i-arc ka-Getz iyinqaba ngoba ugcina eyiqhawe lefilimu. Intuthuko yengulube kanye nohlobo lwemidlalo yamandla yokuhlukumeza ngokocansi ofunda ngayo ithathelwa indawo ukukhathazeka kwangempela futhi ekugcineni, ukuzimisela okudingekayo kokwenza okufanele kwenziwe.

The Fly I-movie yokunambitheka njengoba iqhubeka. Kwakungenasidingo sokugcwalisa izikhala ezazishiyelwe emcabangweni, futhi angikwazi ukudumisa ngokwanele iCronenberg ngokuthi i-flick yaphela ngqo ngesikhathi obekufanele ibe ngaso.

Endleleni, enye yezimpahla zami engizithandayo zeGoldblum yavela futhi ngingaqinisekisa ukuthi ngizobe ngibheke ngentshiseko ukulahla “Uyitholile, kulungile. Awukwazi nje ukuyiphatha ”lapho ngithola ithuba lokuqala. Ingasaphathwa eyimfene, inqubo yokuzivocavoca, inhlanganisela enamanzi amaningi kashokolethi nescotch, a Imidlalo Yempi isikhashana kanye nephupho elibi lezibungu.

Ngokuphazanyiswa okwesabekayo, idrama namahlaya, The Fly inikeza okuncane kuwo wonke umuntu futhi kumnandi kabi ukubukwa.

O, nomcabango owodwa wokugcina ngaphambi kokusayina: The Fly kwaba kabusha.

Eyokuqala yakhishwa ngo-1958. Uhlobo lukaCronenberg lwalucabanga kabusha. Ngokufana noJohn Carpenter's The Thing. Futhi ekaFede Alvarez Ukufa Okubi. Ngakho-ke ngenzele umusa, ngikugcine engqondweni ngaphambi kokubonisa ngobungcwele bezinto zakudala. Akuwona wonke ama-remake avelayo, kepha kanye ngesikhashana, abaculi abasha bathatha imibono yabanye bayisuse.

Qiniseka ukuthi ubheka emuva kweLate to the Party ngesonto elizayo lapho siphonsa imfihlakalo ku-ya.
