Response to The Fly

Olly William's short film 'The Fly' follows a getaway driver waiting in the car for his accomplices to complete their heist, however throughout his wait he is being aggravated by a fly. At first, it starts off with a mild aggravation from the fly to which he tries to kill, achieving a very short lived relief, but the fly keeps coming back and aggravating him more and more. This makes the getaway driver get extremely angry and so taking extreme lengths to get rid of it. For example, he ends up setting the car horn and airbag off, drawing attention to himself. Eventually he ends up in a fit of rage injuring himself, getting out of the car and shooting it and destroying the car with a shotgun multiple times, resulting in police sirens being heard approaching.
The getaway driver is presented as an aggressive and short tempered person, likely heightened by the tension of the crime he and the others are committing. He is shown to be getting angrier and angrier as the fly irritates him, resulting in a crazed frenzy of trying to kill it. By the end, he seems to be seriously regretting his actions as being the getaway driver could be seen as the most important part of making the heist successful, and he soon realises that he had ruined the heist for the others.
