Back to the Future

“Why even bother, McFly? You don't have a chance. You're too much like your old man. No McFly ever amounted to anything in the history of Hill Valley!” Indeed as special as it was when I was eight. This movie has meant so much to me for quite literally a decade and it’s inspired so much of my life. I recently wrote a 10 page paper for the movie for my Film Studies final and it was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. Going frame by frame for Shot Composition or breaking down the intensity of Alan Silvestri’s amazing score are some of my favorite things I’ve ever written not only for school but in general. This film truly shows the capabilities of what cinema can do to an audience for not only 116 minutes but for 40 fucking years. Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale truly were one of the greatest duos to ever duo and it’s impressive the mark they left of the pop-culture landscape as a whole. I’m quite literally forever and eternally grateful for them for the person I am today.
