2024-09-20 18:03:20 +0000 UTCI love all the tiny details they have throughout the film including foreshadowing stuff that all come together. Definitely check out the entire trilogy, they practically shot the next 2 together, so skip the credits in 2 because its practically a preview/spoiler to the third.

2024-09-02 12:43:07 +0000 UTCYeah I never had an issure with those Marty/Lorraine scenes, the whole point is that it's cringe humor. And apart from the kiss that she immediately regrets, there's really nothing objectionable happening other than the cringe.

2024-08-18 22:07:14 +0000 UTCGreat movie, and great trilogy. The first will always be my favorite, just such a classic and so well executed, such a tight story and production. But I prefer the third over the second, the third one feels fresher and is kind of more fun. The second one gets needlessly dark at times which I feel doesn't really fit the franchise. Also, the future scenes aren't my favorite (in part because they have inevitably aged badly) and the film gets much too lost in time travel shenanigans where it becomes kind of hard to suspend your disbelief and ignore all the plot holes and/or paradoxes. As to whether the 1950s are portrayed accurately, eh, as far as I can tell, mostly yeah. There's no obvious anachronisms going on or something like that. But it's obviously white-washed and looked at through nostalgic 1980s rose-colored glasses. They make the tiniest mention of race with Goldie Wilson, with one guy saying there'll never be a colored mayor and that's it. And that's obviously also kind of white-washing the 80s in turn because the implication is that, in the 80s, racism is of the past... sure guys. The whole film was obviously an exercise in 50s nostalgia. The way they portray the 80s as dirty and broken and disheveled while the 50s are all hopeful and new and shiny. Which is obviously nonsense, there were just as much if not more societal issues in the 50s than in the 80s. The nostalgia cycle is always around 30 years when people aged around 30-40 develop midlife crises and start fondly remembering the past, which is only happy and carefree in their minds because they were children 30 years ago, of course the past was happy and carefree for them. And surprise, surprise, the film was written by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, two white guys born in 1952 and 1951 respectively. They were actually surprisingly young to have this much nostalgia since they conceived of the film in 1980 when they were only in their late 20s. Anyway, I'm not saying this to take anything away from the film, it's a good movie and I always like revisiting this trilogy. But there is a reason the 1950s are portrayed as nice as they are.

2024-08-18 21:29:31 +0000 UTCFrom what I can find, apparently it was both, Glover's objections and money disputes. Though who knows what the definitive problem was. Maybe a big enough paycheck would have gotten him over his objections π«
Christophe
2024-08-18 21:18:44 +0000 UTCI heard that Glover didn't come back because of compensation disputes. Maybe I got bad info? The Frighteners was a great flick, and my intro to Jackson as a kid (mid-late 90s), though I didn't suspect that he'd become a household name a few years later.

2024-08-18 13:00:22 +0000 UTCYour facial expressions... perfect. This was great. Hope to see you checking out the sequels. The possibly incesty stuff is less cringe if you view it from the mom's perspective who has no idea. At least I think so. To me it's funny from when looking at it like someone who knows, BECAUSE the instigator has no idea, but Marty is very much opposed and trying not to. Other than his plan to get George to look like a hero, that only worked because Biff is an actual monster, Marty could have never made it happen.

2024-08-17 02:18:05 +0000 UTCThe character's name is "3D". Do you still think the movie was "family-friendly" by the MPAA standards of 1985? If you think Strickland is mean to "slackers" now, just wait for the next one!

2024-08-16 22:00:07 +0000 UTCNot quite a fun fact but Crispin Glover, who played the dad, refused to do the sequels because he didnβt like the ending. He thought they were equating happiness with success and material possessions. I highly recommend The Frightners (1996) which also stars Michael J Fox. Itβs directed by Peter Jackson and is his riff on 80s movies like Back to the Future and Ghostbusters with splashes of John Carpenter and Tim Burton. Itβs super fun and only a little bit dark.

2024-08-14 13:23:35 +0000 UTCVee, you said you couldn't explain a feeling, something the movie always transmitted to you. Do you know what that is? "That's the power of love!" β«πβ« Is Back to the Future a time-travel movie with a lot of comedy? Yes. But it's not just that, it's a mix. With the spirit of the 80s, it talks in a light and undramatic way about love, self-love, family ties, and happiness. It brings adventure, comedy, romance, action... Without realizing it, the movie changes our focus to Lorraine and George. Marty goes back in time and gives the parents the love, happiness, courage, and self-love that didn't exist before. The kiss brings us relief, but more than that, it moves us because now genuine love exists. The movie revolves around a sentence. In the beginning, Marty is afraid about sending the tape with his song to the radio. Jeniffer, trying to cheer up Marty, reminds him of Doc's advice, and himself says what that advice is: "If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything." In the middle of the movie, Marty says the same to George when he is unsure about the "car plan." At the end of the movie is George, who says, but with an addition: "Like I always tell you," showing that this sentence has become the family motto. Do you remember George saying he will never forget Marty's advice before saying goodbye to his son? Great, Scott! Lorraine has also changed because her story has changed. "Now," lol she has fallen in love with a new George, and because of that, she is no longer that bitter, resentful, and disappointed woman with love. The film starts talking about love - 80s love - before we realize it, with the song The Power of Love while Marty is late for school on his skateboard. And she comes back. As soon as Marty reads "I love you," the film turns up the sound to sing happily: "That's the power of love!" Only an 80s film can have the subtlety and lightness to mix time travel, adventure, humor, love, and whatever. Those who had the chance to live in the 80s are lucky. Even with all the problems in the world, it seems to be a time when "the grass was greener, the light was brighter, the taste was sweeter, the nights of wonder, with friends surrounded." I LOVE Back To The Future. One my favorite movies by far! I've been waiting since the first time I started seeing your reactions on YT, that is, 2 years ago! And finally, it's here! You don't know how happy I am. Thanks, Vee!! πππ I'm looking forward to your reaction to the rest of the trilogy! More Doc, more Marty, more fun, more adventure, more laughs, more happiness, more Great Scott!

2024-08-14 08:29:00 +0000 UTCYou were so close to saying βwhatβs up docβ in that final scene. I was disappointed lol

2024-08-14 04:40:58 +0000 UTCNot a spoiler there, as his house burning down isnβt featured in the movies.

2024-08-14 02:35:26 +0000 UTCTwo things - first, one of Biffβs thugs is Billy Zane. Another, IIRC, in the subtext of the newspaper article is that Doc was able to sell off his βprime real estateβ after his estate burned down under mysterious circumstances - basically, that he committed insurance fraud to keep funding his experiments.

2024-08-14 02:35:01 +0000 UTCHere's a fact about the movie. Originaly they casted another actor, Eric Stoltz to play Marty because from what i remember Michael J Fox was doing a show or something and they couldn't get him and they really wanted him, they shot some scenes with Eric Stoltz i don't know how much and they weren't feeling his performance as Marty and in the end they managed to get Michael J Fox

2024-08-13 18:58:00 +0000 UTCAll 3 films never stop. All 3 are great. Everything about these films are a National Treasure! Lol. In December 2007, it was selected by the United States Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." The continuity of all 3 movies is precise...except for 2 actor changes in the next 2 movies. There is a cartoon that continues the story as well but with side adventures and traditional sitcom-style life lessons that are summed up in 30mins, lol. Also, as you can probably surmise, Rick and Morty is inspired by Back to the Future. Huey Lewis, the guy that wrote "The Power of Love", the song Marty played for the Band audition, cameo-ed in this film playing the Judge that stood up and said they are "just too darn loud", lol The script was rejected 44 times before it was finally green-lit. Only Disney thought the 'mother chasing after her own son' made it too risque for Disney audiences. All other studios said it wasn't risque enough. Tom Wilson improvised the line "make like a tree and get outta here", which was perfect for his character's level of intelligence. Tom, who is extremely nice man, stated that he based Biff of all the bullies he had when he was in highschool. The inspiration for the film largely stems from Bob Gale discovering his father's high school yearbook and wondering whether he would have been friends with his father as a teenager. Gale also said that if he had the chance to go back in time, he would really go back and see if they would have been friends. John DeLorean wrote to the filmmakers, thanking them for immortalizing his car. Michael J. Fox has said that Marty's being characterized as riding skateboards, chasing girls, and interests in playing music, with hopes of becoming a rock star, was the exact same way he was during his own high school days. Michael J. Fox had always been the first choice for Marty, but he was unavailable due to scheduling conflicts with his work on Family Ties (1982). As "Family Ties" co-star Meredith Baxter was pregnant at the time, Fox was carrying a lot more of the show than usual. The show's producer Gary David Goldberg simply couldn't afford to let Fox go. Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale then cast Eric Stoltz as Marty based on his performance in Mask (1985). After six weeks of filming Zemeckis and Gale felt that Stoltz wasn't right for the part, and Stoltz agreed. By this stage, Baxter was back fully on the show and Goldberg agreed to let Fox go off to make the film. Fox worked out a schedule to fulfill his commitment to both projects. Every day during production, he drove straight to the movie set after taping of the show was finished, and averaged about five hours of sleep. The bulk of the production was filmed from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., with the daylight scenes filmed on weekends. Reshooting Stoltz's scenes added $3 million to the budget. Tom Wilson almost had his collarbone broken in the scene where Marty and Biff are about to fight in the cafeteria, as Eric Stoltz roughed up Tom for real, take after take, despite repeated requests from Tom to tone down the aggression. Tom later said he was about to return the favor during filming of the car park scene outside the dance, but Eric was fired before that confrontation could take place. During his time on the film, being a method actor, Eric Stoltz refused to answer to any name but that of his character, Marty McFly. When Christopher Lloyd was told that Stoltz was to be replaced, he asked 'Who's Eric?" and after further explanation added "Oh, I really thought his name was Marty." According to Bob Gale, Johnny Depp auditioned for the role of Marty McFly: "I looked through the notes, and I said, 'Geez, I don't even remember that we read Johnny Depp!' So whatever he did, it wasn't all that memorable, I guess!" In a 2018 interview, Lea Thompson said when she was a young actress starting out in Hollywood, a "very famous agent" assessed her options for her. "She told me, 'Here's your career, Lea: virgins, whores and mothers," Thompson recalled with a laugh. "And then I realized why Back to the Future is such a great part. Because I got to play a virgin, a whore and mother all in one movie." Crispin Glover, who was starting out as an actor at the time, was very nervous during filming. Sometimes, it would be so severe that he had to silently mouth his lines, with his voice being dubbed in in post-production. His genuine nervousness became something that improved his character George McFly, as the character was designed like that. The University of Southern California Film school's writing classes use the screenplay for Back to the Future as the model of "The Perfect Screenplay." According to a casting list leaked online, a lot of actors where considered for the role of Doc Brown, or "Scientist" referred to on the list. Those considered were; Jeff Goldblum, John Lithgow, Joe Piscopo, Peter Boyle, Donald Sutherland, Dabney Coleman, Richard Mulligan, Ron Silver, Harold Ramis, Paul Le Mat, Albert Brooks, Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, Mark Blankfield, Robert Klein, James Woods, Christopher Lloyd and Danny DeVito,John Cleese, Bill Cosby and Eddie Murphy. Despite having one of the most famous scores of all time, there is no score until 18 minutes and 39 seconds into the movie, the first time the DeLorean appears. The adult movie theater showing Orgy American Style (1973) stars George "Buck" Flower, who plays Red the Bum, the guy on the bench when Marty comes back to 1985, in this movie. This movie holds the record of staying at number one at the box office for three solid months.

2024-08-13 14:48:45 +0000 UTCTom Wilson who plays Biff improvised the now famous lines when he says "Butthead" and my personal favorite "Make Like A Tree And Get Outta Here" the producers just liked them so much they kept them in the final cut π€£π€£

2024-08-13 12:27:34 +0000 UTCI only saw this post on my way to work this morning and now I have a 10 hour wait of shame until I can watch the reaction to one of the best movie series of all time.

2024-08-13 11:13:37 +0000 UTCThis is one of the most detailed movies I know. So far we have three versions for everything: Original 1985, 1955 and Alternative 1985. There are so many small details that have been changed according to the time version that you can spot in the background. Like what movie is shown in the cinema. My favourite detail is the mall. When Marty reaches the parking lot of the mall for the first time we get a wide shot of the scene. Marty stands right in front of the "Twin Pines Mall" sign. When he goes to the past he runs over one of the two pines in front of the farm. When he returns to the parking lot in the finale, trying to save Doc, he's all out of breath because he was chasing the Lybians. And he collapses right on top of the sign "Lone Pine Mall".

2024-08-13 08:58:29 +0000 UTCThis! You want to watch 2&3 shortly after each other and you don't want the trailer to spoiler.
Dioskur
2024-08-13 08:47:48 +0000 UTCMy favorite fact about this movie has to do with the scene where Doc thinks it's absurd that Ronald Reagan was President in 1985. Apparently, when Reagan watched the movie he loved that scene so much that he asked the projectionist to rewind it so he could watch it again.

2024-08-13 07:42:12 +0000 UTCTotally agree, always thought that trailer spoiled the 3rd film
Matt
2024-08-13 07:29:02 +0000 UTCThat was great! The third film is actually my favorite of the series.

2024-08-13 06:59:35 +0000 UTCI was meaning to ask if you saw back to the future but i felt kind of stupid because of course she has, theres NO WAY she hasn't... well she hasn't. Im so excited to watch this but i have stupid work first, this is definitely one of my favorite movies and trilogies, you need to watch other two ASAP
Petar
2024-08-13 05:29:08 +0000 UTCJust an FYI, if you continue with the series, part two ends with a mini trailer for part 3 so if you donβt want any spoilers, be ready to stop it when it starts cutting to new scenes
Jimmie V
2024-08-13 05:17:28 +0000 UTCDo you plan on watching all 3 movies? Its one continuous story. Matter a fact, a lot of fans love the 3rd movie as their favorite. Also, in the 2nd film, a very young child actor, Elijah Wood makes his first appearance on screen, but the question is, will you spot him? Lets find out.
Thats MR. Baldamort
2024-08-13 04:42:20 +0000 UTCGreat Scott I never realized you hadn't seen this, one of my absolute childhood favorites thank you so much for the reaction V β€β€β€πππ

2024-08-13 04:41:39 +0000 UTC.... WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVEN'T SEEN BACK TO THE FUTURE?!?!? Guess I'm not going to bed now Vee... how? I hurt lol Also - Steven Spielburg PRESENTS not Directs, It's a Robert Zemeckis movie.
