Back to the Future
One of my favorite movies is "Back to the Future". I first watched it when I was six years old, but when I recently
watched it for about the millionth time, I still enjoyed it.
First of all, the concept of time travel will always be interesting. People always wonder if they could have returned to
the past or saw the future. People also wonder whether they could change events which occurred the past.
The movie's script is like music to me. It has rhythm and motives. Notice, for example, how sentences like the following
are spoken: "I have to tell you about the future" or "Nobody calls me chicken".
Another motif in the movie is the clocks. Notice how they appear everywhere. It is no incidence that the thunderbolt hits
a clock tower, or that Doc's lab is full of clocks, and the time machine is full of clocks (Doc even adds to it another
alarm clock to tell Marty when to hit the gas).
An interesting point in the movie, which I noticed only in recent years, is that it is inspired by the story of Oedipus
from the Greek myth. Marty becomes somewhat alike Oedipus, when he pushes his father away and goes out with his mother. If
it is not clear enough in the original movie, it becomes clear in the sequel (Back to the Future 2), when following
Marty's actions, Biff murders his father and marries his mother.
I imagine Steven Spielberg (the producer) Robert Zemeckis, the director of the movie, creating its idea: Hmm... Let's do a
movie that will be a hit... What will it be about? Time travel! People would like that... and if it is about time travel,
let's do it about the paradox about a person that goes back in time and makes his parents not meet... and if we're doing
the movie about a person and his parents, let's make him have an Oedipus Complex!
