What matters is not the past, but the present and the future.

Maybe this is what the movie "Back to the Future" is going to tell us.

Martin grew up in a very ordinary family. His father was weak and incompetent. He had no spine, and had no other hobbies except watching TV and eating. And he is often bullied by his boss. Martin was also looked down upon by the teacher in school, because this teacher was also his father George's teacher thirty years ago.

The mother married his father because of sympathy, and she has been living in fantasy after marriage, and she has gradually become an alcoholic and obese woman.

His elder sister and elder brother also lack talents, his elder brother is an ordinary worker, and his elder sister is as bloated and lacks charm as his mother.

But in such a family, Martin is a person with ideals and full of vitality.

He played skateboarding superbly, and organized his own band, his own innovative style of music, he also became a year-end friendship with a Frankenstein.

It was Martin's maverick that changed the fate of this family.

In an accidental experiment, he took the time machine made by the doctor and went back thirty years ago. And I met my parents back then.

And even more accidentally, he replaced his father and became the object of his mother's admiration.

If he can't make his parents a lover at the destined time, he will disappear from the earth.

Therefore, a series of actions to match his parents were put into practice, and in the process, with his continuous encouragement, his father George finally became brave, and finally won the heart of Martin's mother with his personality charm.

Of course, the most interesting thing is at the end. When Martin overcomes many difficulties and returns to the future, everything in the family has changed.

The elder brother became a senior clerk, his father was a famous writer, and his mother was a new type of woman of the era with avant-garde thinking.

In everyone's memory, there is no longer a past life, those unpleasant past events are only retained in Martin's memory, of course, everything now is so great to him.

    It is rare to be able to make such a sci-fi movie in 1985. The screenwriter is very good. Although the details are relatively perfunctory, such as helping parents get back on track, it is a qualified comedy in general. The humor part is very classic, and the sci-fi part is easy to understand, without some deep theories or too many logical flaws.

    The classic trilogy, generally the sequel has the suspicion of sequel, but this trilogy is definitely a classic, and the various space and time theories interspersed in it are easy to understand.

Back to the Future quotes

  • Dr. Emmett Brown: Okay, now, we run some industrial-strength electrical cable from the top of the clock tower, down, suspending it over the street between these two lampposts. Meanwhile, we've outfitted the time vehicle with this big pole and hook, which runs directly into the flux capacitor. At the calculated moment, you start off from down the street, driving directly towards the cable, accelerating to 88 miles per hour. According to the flyer, at precisely 10:04 p.m. this Saturday night, lighting will strike the clock tower, electrifying the cable, just as the connecting hook makes contact, thereby sending 1.21 gigawatts into the flux capacitor and sending you back to 1985. All right, now. Watch this. You wind up the car and release it. I'll simulate the lightning.

    [plugging in and holding up two jumper cables]

    Dr. Emmett Brown: Ready.

    [attaching one to the model lamppost]

    Dr. Emmett Brown: Set. Release!

    [Marty lets the toy car go, and Doc attaches the other to a nail in the model clock tower; as the "lightning" strikes, the car catches on fire, runs off the model, and sets fire to a pile of rags soaking in paint thinner]

    Marty McFly: You're not instilling me with a lot of confidence, Doc.

    Dr. Emmett Brown: Don't worry. I'll take care of ideas. You just take care of your pop. By the way, what happened today? Did he ask her out?

    Marty McFly: [evasively] I think so.

    Dr. Emmett Brown: What did she say?

    [hearing a knock on the door, he looks through the drawn shade]

    Dr. Emmett Brown: It's your mom! She's tracked you down!

  • Lorraine Baines: Marty, this may seem a little forward, but I was kind of wondering if... i-if you'd ask me to the... Enchantment Under the Sea dance on Saturday?

    Marty McFly: Uh, you mean... you mean nobody's asked you?

    Lorraine Baines: No. Not yet.

    Marty McFly: What about... what about George?

    Lorraine Baines: George McFly? Oh, he... he's kind of cute and all, but, uh, not... well, I think a man should be strong, so he can stand up for himself, and protect the woman he loves. Don't you?

    Marty McFly: [nervously sharing a glance with Doc] Yeah.
