The Fly ザ・フライ （５）

ザ・フライ

Brundle then reveals his desperate, last-ditch plan to Veronica—he will use the three Telepods (the third pod being the original prototype) to fuse himself, Veronica, and their unborn child together into one entity, so they can be the "ultimate family".

Veronica frantically resists Brundle's efforts to drag her into Telepod 1 and then accidentally tears off his jaw, triggering his final transformation into a monstrous combination of man and insect.

Attempting to find a cure for his condition, Brundle installs a fusion program into the Telepod computer in order to dilute the fly genes in his body with pure human DNA.

To her horror, Veronica learns that she is pregnant by Seth, and cannot be sure if the child was conceived before or after his fateful teleportation. After she dreams of giving birth to a giant maggot, a terrified Veronica has Stathis Borans persuade a reluctant doctor to perform an abortion in the middle of the night.

Seth and Veronica reconcile, and, shortly after his teleportation, Seth begins to exhibit what at first appear to be beneficial effects of the process—such as increased strength, stamina, and sexual potency.

He believes this to be a result of the teleportation process "purifying" his body. Veronica, however, is more concerned about Brundle's growing mania, as well as the strange, bristly hairs growing out of a previously-sustained wound in his back.

最近かなり忙しくて先週も一週抜けてしまったけど、今週はちゃんとやるよ～。

そんな今週は、自分の好きな映画ベスト１０には入る作品、デヴィッド・クローネンバーグ監督、ジェフ・ゴールドブラム主演の『ザ・フライ』（1986)。1958年に公開された同名の映画（邦題『ハエ男の恐怖』）のリメイク作品だ。

デヴィッド・クローネンバーグと言えば、1981年の監督作品『スキャナーズ』があまりに衝撃的だったけど（頭が破裂する特殊メイクが圧巻）、その他の映画も一風変わった映画が多くマニア向けと言える。
