A cool car, good rock music, and terrific actors...what more do you need for the backbone of a good movie? The complex script of a teenager going back in time and meeting his parents when they were teenagers is simple enough for an elementary child to follow as proven by my two young boys who watched it over and over. They even had matching "Back to the Future" outfits, rode the ride at Universal Studios Florida and saw the train from "Back to the Future Part III". The cool car, a DeLorean, is as much a character in the script as Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and Doc Emmet Brown (Christopher Lloyd). The DeLorean was the "car of the future" in 1985, with its stainless steel body and gull-wing doors (doors that are hinged at the roof rather than …show more content…
This extra power, along with the plutonium in the back, is enough to give the car what it needs to become a time machine. Marty finds himself in 1955, where the Doc is still alive (he must warn him about the future bad guys!), his parents are teenagers, poodle skirts and soda fountains are in and Chuck Berry is rockin'. Huey Lewis and the News played on the soundtrack while Lewis had a cameo part of the judge in the Hill Valley High School Band auditions. Marty must figure out how to get his parents back together, (his mother has fell in love with him), and figure out how to get "Back to the Future." "Back to the Future" was the most successful film of the year, grossing more than $380 million worldwide according to boxofficemojo.com, and receiving critical acclaim. It marked the beginning of a trilogy with Back to the Future Part II (1989) and Back to the Future Part III (1990). "Back to the Future" also spawned an animated series and theme park rides at Universal Studios Florida and Universal Studios Hollywood.

This paper is an evaluative look at why the Chevrolet Corvette is one of the greatest sports cars in the world. Sports cars can be judged in three areas; cost, performance, and comfort, each area will be evaluated as to why these criteria are important, with examples shown to for definition. The Corvette will be shown how it compares in regards to the measurements, and in some cases exceeds them. Showing why it should be considered a great sports car
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
The 1960's was a big time for muscle cars, and the Plymouth Road Runner was one of the best. It was great on the street and even better on the race track. In 1976, Plymouth made a big mistake, they made a new Volare Road Runner that wasn't even as close to as good as the others. Its engine only had 160 horsepower and it rusted so much that Plymouth had to recall it. Another car that didn’t do so well was the Delorean. Even though it was a big hit in Back to the Future, the actual car didn't meet standards. The 1980 to 1981 Delorean DMC-12 might have had gull wing doors and the body panels might have been stainless steel, but compared to five other sports cars it was the slowest
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.
When it comes to your first car, everyone wants a nice set of wheels. But, many people have unrealistic expectations for their first car. I was no exception. I was eager to end the days of having my parents shuttle me around. I had graduated high school. And Navy basic training is only three months away.
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.
In the 1985 movie Back to the Future, Robert Zemeckis uses foreshadowing, symbolism, diegetic and non-diegetic sound, parallels, irony and morals, as explained through the textbook The Art of Watching Films, to take the viewer on a journey through time. He reinforces the idea that every little action counts. These concepts are intermixed with comedy as we witness the adventures of Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and his best friend Doctor Emmet Brown (Christopher Lloyd) in 1985 and 1955. We meet Marty’s parents (Crispin Glover, Lea Thompson) first as adults, then as teenagers, and again as adults. Marty also grows to realize the consequences of his actions.
Teen Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is thrown back in time to the 1950’s when his scientist friend Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) invents a time machine out of a DeLorean. With terrorists hunting Doc down over stolen plutonium, Marty escapes, travelling through time in the modified DeLorean. When Marty encounters young versions of his parents, he disrupts the time continuum, forever altering his parents destiny. He must make sure that his parent fall in love or he’ll cease to exist. Marty still has to return back to the future to save the life of Doc Brown.
Marty goes back in time to escape from the Libyan’s, he is now stuck in the past, 30 years before he was even born. He is trying to achieve his ultimate goal of making it back home. There is only one person that can help him, younger Doc Brown, otherwise he is stuck there forever. He goes to Doc’s house for help, when he arrives Marty tries his best to convince him that he came from the future, unfortunately Doc dos not believe him. Marty recollects a few words Doc said before he was killed, how he thought of the flux capacitor.
Marty has no choice but to use the Delorean to go back in time. Back to the Future used incredible special effects, stunning songs, and an unbelievable adventure to drive this film to the top grosser of 1985. The film has earned its place on the AFI top 100 films for its ability to stand the test of time. Marty
The average driver doesn’t think about what keeps their car moving or what keeps them on the road, but that’s because they don’t have to. The average driver doesn’t have to worry about having enough downforce to keep them on the road or if they will reach the adhesive limit of their car’s tires around a turn. These are the things are the car designers, professional drivers, racing pit crews, serious sports car owners, and physicist think about. Physics are an important part of every sports and racing car design. The stylish curves and ground effects on sports cars are usually there not just for form but function as well allowing you to go speeds over 140 mph in most serious sports cars and remain on the road and in
Now with that easy one out the way, time for the real brain busting stuff. At the end out the second movie and beginning of the third, Doc (Christopher Lloyd) gets struck by a bolt of lighting while flying still in the air and gets sent back to 1855 while Marty is on the street and sees this happen and is now stuck again in 1955. Right after that happens Marty gets a letter from Doc stating specific intrusions on where he left the time machine hidden and how to fix it. Shortly after Marty finds out that Doc was killed a week after he wrote the letter. Marty then decides to travel back to 1855 and save Doc. In the process of going back to 1855 he cuts a gas line so now the Delorean has no gas and Doc and Marty spend the rest of the third movie tiring to find a way to get the Delorean up to 88mph to be able to travel back home. Here is where there is three major plot holes.
I could feel the cold brisk air brushing up against my skin as I ventured through the darkness in this vacant parking lot on a dreary Sunday night in November. I could see a car in the distance and began to approach it. The car appeared to be an old rusted out vehicle with extremely tinted windows that were dark like death. As I looked inside the vehicle I noticed that the car was as clean as a crystal. Not a speck of dust could be found on the interior and the floor mats were completely spotless. It was as if the vehicle had never been driven before. I then put my hand on the door and proceeded to step inside of the vehicle. As I did so I felt a sensation through my whole body that made me tingle. It was an unwelcoming sensation as if I was entering a whole new world. As I sat down there's was a smell, a sheer clean smell similar to that of a fresh load of laundry. Goosebumps came about all over my body as adrenaline rushed through my veins. I put my hands on the steering wheel and my mind took me into another dimension. Taking a glance in the rearview mirror I could see a mysterious person approaching the vehicle. As I examined the person I came to the conclusion that this must be the owner of the vehicle. I noticed they were dressed in all black and carrying what seemed to be a grocery bag of some sort. In panic, I got out of the car and looked at what appeared to be a male figure. The man was very masculine and tall. His mere presence was enough to strike fear into
By analysing the specification of car[iv] AUDI S4 Sedan and also the specialized press web sites[v], we were able to quantify and qualify the system analyzed.
But back to the dream car, the embodiment of fancy, adorning a leather interior, unnecessary interior lights, top of the line dash clusters and head unit gadgets.
