Back to the Future

“No! Marty! We've already agreed that having information about the future can be extremely dangerous. Even if your intentions are good, it can backfire drastically!” In honor of the 40th anniversary I rewatched this tonight after work and my god. To begin, perfect is an understatement of just how amazing this is. This is just a grand achievement in the realm of cinema and is just a spark of genius. Gale and Zemeckis are somehow one greatest film duos of the 80s and it’s electric to see their writing being brought to life by some absolutely fantastic actors as well. Everyone is just so perfect in their part that now you can no longer dissociate the actors or their characters depending on how much you grew up on the film. Like dude it’s so insane how in each scene I’ve memorized all the lines like I’m reading them the next day. The smile that I get when I watch this only gets bigger and bigger and I continue to point out new things to myself or talk about this with others. I could ramble on for so much longer but I don’t want this to be 4,000 words so I’ll leave it here. Happy 40th to not just my favorite movie of all time but also MY MOVIE.
