a reflective classic.

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2008)

Back to the future can only be described as a 1980's culture epic. This seems to be the first of the director and writer Robert Zemeckis' bright idea's which seem to come along once a decade, other film's he's noted for include the 2007 3D-Beowulf and Forest Gump.
The whole film can be seen as nothing short of spectacular family fun. A great treat for any kid or adult looking to have a nice time. Beyond the wonderful mask the film wears though it has themes of bullying, class, incest, love, and justice. All the while containing a perfectly paced film that never lets you down. It may not be the worlds greatest film ever made, though that is up to opinion. But could be seen as a shining example of a good film. It's plot is relatively easy to understand, but it never treats the audience as stupid.
The acting isn't bad, (despite my hatred for Michael J fox: See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqUo8RaJ23Q . This is how much I dislike Michael J. Fox) and the film shows brilliant parallels between scenes, all the while being an adventure with lovable characters, and an insight to a world far from our own. With great music from the 80's, including The power of love, by (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-hUkO13Fy8)Huey Lewis and the news, memorable for other scenes in film history.
Recommendations: Back to the future II & III, Works of Stephen Spielberg and Forest Gump. The magic 8-ball gives three thumbs up.
