Book Summary: Back To The Future

Since this is a classical narrative, the main character eventually will. Zemeckis uses incredibly smooth continuity throughout the rest of the film in order to express to the spectators the narrative logic and ideological conclusions. “Understanding how expressive cinematic techniques give distinct representation to social issues and conflicts and engage the viewer effectively allows a discussion of the social context to remain sensitive to film as a unique medium with its own expressive techniques”(Nicholas, 160). In the key scene where Marty goes to the Twin Pines Mall to meet Dr. Brown, Zemeckis uses plenty of techniques to effectively edit the scene. He uses three-point lighting, point-of-view shots, close-up shots and over-the-shoulder shots. When the time traveling car invention begins to depart the truck, a point-of-view shot is integrated so that we can view the car from Marty’s perspective. This shot is extremely important for the film because we as spectators are put into the cinematic space and it makes us feel as if we ourselves are physically in the scene and are experiencing the same thing. Not only does this shot allow us to feel like we are in the shot but it also helps us to identify with Marty and his feelings. Lighting helps to interpret how the car should be seen because of the key lighting on Marty, the lighting on Marty helps us to see his face expression and we can tell that it’s filled with amazement and astonishment. Just like Marty, we can see the car as this magnificent, “out of this world” invention. From here on we know that this is a shot that helps the narrative develope and automatically know that since Marty thinks this machine is amazing, he will then end up using it to his advantage. As we’ve gotten to experience the climax of Back to the Future, we prove that our ideological

Usually, literature reflects the features of contemporary society. One of the reasons is that the writers of the literature necessarily are influenced by the society they live in. In The Time Machine, the writer H. G. Wells showed his own view on late-Victorain societey. In that era, speed of changes in society was fast and many modern society problems strated to arise according to development of technologies. H. G. Wells were also aware of these problems. He especially focused on the class division problems in The Time Machine and proposed future dystopia, rather than utopia.

To make a change in his life, Biff decides he will ask his old employer Bill Oliver for money to start a ranch. The boys then suddenly hear willy downstairs talking to himself, and attempt to sleep. Next the lights on the stage move to Willy, who is sitting in the kitchen lost in memory. Willy remembers when biff and happy were young boys and helped him wash their car. He goes on and tells the boys that when he travels he is well liked, and that soon he will open a successful business. Next the neighbors son Bernard enters wondering why Biff has not come over to study with him. After Bernard leaves Willy tells Biff that he can't be successful without being well liked. Soon a younger version of Linda appears. She asks Willy about how much money he made on his trip, at first he says he made $1,200, then drops it to $200, but then admits to it only being 70 dollars. As Willy continues talking to Linda, a laughter appears over hers. Soon, the scene shifts and Willy flirts with The Woman, a secretary for a buyer. He gives her stockings and she thanks him for

He was trying to find a way to Doc’s house when he accidentally stopped his parents from meeting and falling in love. Instead, his mother falls in love with him. Also, the plan Marty and Doc come up with to get Marty back to the future does not go as smoothly as planned. The car runs on nuclear energy, which they have no access to. They do come up with a plan where they will harness energy from a lightening bolt that is planned to strike the town’s clock tower at the end of the week.

Movies or shows about time-travel are complicated, and never really make sense (I’m looking at you, Lost); Back to the Future guides us through potentially tricky subject matter by relying heavily – and very intelligently – on the tenets of classical narration listed above: Marty’s goals are very well-defined (to make sure his future parents meet, and then to get himself back to 1985); the chain of cause and effect is very clear: Doc Brown swindles plutonium from some Libyans → the Libyans, once they track down and shoot Doc, chase after Marty, Doc’s assistant → Marty tries to flee from the Libyans by speeding away in the DeLorean time machine that Doc has made → Marty hits 88 mph, sending him back to 1955, etc.

George and Lorraine are still very much in love in this new reality and return from a romantic trip together and even have playful sexual rapport . George also demonstrates self-assured command of the household, not by subordinating his wife or children, but by taking charge of situations that do arise in the home. For example, when Marty laments that the car was destroyed by Biff — an event that occurred in the original 1985 — George did not express anger or any kind of upset but went straight to the garage to verify this. He is in charge of the situation, the dominant male, and all this masculine pride can be traced back to his interactions with Marty in

Judd wants them to hunt well or they don’t get to eat. Marty’s dad wants to do the right thing and he brings the beagle back to Judd. A few days later, Marty found Shiloh had run away from Judd again. Knowing that Shiloh won’t get away with just a kick in the butt, Marty takes it upon himself to hide Shiloh. A few weeks go by with Marty lying and feeding Shiloh behind his parents back. At one point Marty’s mom finds out, but she makes a deal not to tell Marty’s Father until tomorrow. After Marty made a deal whit his mom, he leaves Shiloh in his pen and heads back home. After a few minutes Shiloh gets attacked by a big Germen Shepherd. Shiloh was so hurt he was close to death. The town’s doctor, Doc Murphy, patched up Shiloh good as new. Marty’s dad punished Marty by bringing Shiloh back to Judd. That just ruined Marty. One day Marty is walking through the woods when he sees Judd shot a deer out of season. To keep himself out of prison Judd makes

When Biff tries to confront his father about his incoherent babbling, Linda stops him and tells him not

At an ironic turn of events George was now the boss of Biff and had him washing and waxing his cars. He even told him that he better not miss a spot and Biff cowered down to him and said that he would take care of it. At this moment the viewer should definitely be in shock because he did not just end the bullying from Biff, but he also changed the bully’s personality in the process. Biff was now the weak and fragile coward who had things to lose if he disrespected George. As the scene progresses, there is a package that arrives with Georges new novel inspired by the scare he received back in 1955! George finally had enough confidence to share his creativity with the world and it was widely accepted. He even states the great quote, “If you put your mind to it you could accomplish anything.” Aside from the changes in himself we can see just how a change in his confidence ca work wonders for influencing his family. His wife is no longer a “saint” and acknowledges her children will be dating, and has notably taken care of her body. His children on the other hand seem to have successful careers and dress in a much more mature

One of the most fascinating films of 1985 explored the fantasy of time travel. The film Back to the Future, directed by Academy Award winning Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg, was one of the most successful trilogies ever created. The film follows an average high school student by the name of Marty Mcfly, and Doc Brown, a crazy but genius scientist. Doc has created a time machine disguised as Delorian, that he’s spent his entire life savings on. When Marty and Doc first test the time machine, they are suddenly interrupted by Libyan terrorists, who Doc stole the Plutonium from.

Biff really loves his mother, and it really hurt him when she kicked him out of the house. He hates it when Willy yells at her to shut up, because he loves her. He doesn't want his mom to worried about Willy, because he knows of Willy's affair.

The “Back to the future” trilogy is by far my favorite of all time; especially the first one, that movie alone is on my Mount Rushmore of movies. The trilogy is about a teenager who accidently travels back in time prevents his parents from getting married which then prevents him from being born, so now he has to figure out a way to get back to the future and get his parents back together. The entire trilogy is great; even thought it has its bad moments, but hey, what trilogy does not? The series is a clever and fun string of movies that leaves you with a good feeling after watching them. Now with that being said, when you make a movie about time travel there are bound to be some mistakes and “Back to the future” is no exception. I can go
