27 Years Ago Something Was Wrong With Earth's Gravity...:
You keep saying heavy...
Twenty-seven years ago today "Back to the Future" was released on an audience awaiting summer...
I went into the theater not really caring other than having a night away from home. My best friend wanted to see the new film from that kid from "Family Ties" that he enjoyed watching. We were pleasantly surprised at what unfolded in front of us.
Between crazy Doc Brown and idealistic Marty McFly traveling back and forth in time to fix the problems of the past/future we had an absolutely fun experience. I even went back to see it with my family and it reflected well on them as it traveled from my childhood to theirs.
This is Robert Zemeckis' best film, and he has yet to equal it. Although the sequels were fun and interesting additions to this film, they were in no way as clever or as having the direct impact upon on the public. With the genie out of the bottle, it was hard to surprise audiences into knowing where the sequels were going. Because when you know the future, the past can be boring, or at least repetitive.
But that first film was pure fun, and pure cinema. And somehow, someone finally found a proper use for a Delorean.
Great scott...
