Heartwarming moments in The Fly (1986).
- Despite being a total jerk for two-thirds of the film, Stathis makes up for it when he readily believes what Veronica tells him about Seth's condition. Just look at his face when she talks to him after seeing Seth again. He's clearly horrified by what she's told him and tries to convince her not to go back out of fear that his condition might cause an epidemic.
- The morning after Seth's fateful teleportation and his and Veronica's realization that he's apparently been changed for the better by it, they walk through Toronto's Kensington Market and he buys her a golden necklace with a heart pendant, tenderly fastening it around her neck then whispering into her ear, and with that they kissnote . Veronica wears this necklace for all of her subsequent scenes except for her waking up in her bed after her nightmare (because she's even wearing it in the nightmare), even as she is: witness to Seth becoming Drunk with Power and disbelieving her concerns, doesn't see him for four weeks after he forces her to leave the loft and tells her not to come back, and is privy to the mounting tragedy of his literal and metaphorical disintegration and the personal horror of being pregnant with what may be a mutant. And she didn't wear jewelry until he gave it to her, just as he had a Limited Wardrobe until she expanded it for him. Seth means so much to her that his gift is, more or less, a part of her to the bitter end.
- Seth as the transformation goes on starts to become afraid of the fact that he might be losing his human mind and morals so therefore he decides to send Veronica away so that he does not hurt her. Even when he found out she was pregnant with his child, he begs her not to abort it as it could be all that’s left of him. When Seth was about to put acid vomit over Stathis's face after doing the same to his foot and his hand, he stops because Veronica begged him not to.
- BTS-example: Charles Edward Pogue wrote the screenplay, but when David Cronenberg was hired as director, he did a complete rewrite while keeping only a handful of elements from Pogue's script. Nevertheless, during WGA arbitration, Cronenberg insisted that Pogue also receive writing credit, as he felt that his own draft could not have been completed without Pogue's serving as a foundation.
