I was clutching my pearls!.....i also have to admit that it was entertaining to watch hahahaa and yeah, the time traveling was nice too. I'll see you in Back to the Future II :)

    Honestly, back in 1985 most people just thought of it as an amusing premise. Lorraine has no idea that it's her son. Marty is properly repulsed by the idea. No real physical affection occurs between the two until the very end and when it does, Lorraine can just feel that it's very wrong. That's it. We just enjoyed the film

    The mother/son thing is clearly meant to be humorously uncomfortable and awkward. Lorraine has no idea who Marty actually is, but Marty knows and is rightfully uncomfortable with Lorraine's unwanted romantic advances.
    Funny thing is, the filmmakers struggled to find a Hollywood studio to make the movie, and Disney outright rejected the script based mainly on the awkward mother/son angle. Little did any of them know that they were turning down what would become the biggest hit of 1985.

      incest situations can be good for both humour or dark situations...depending on the context: in Back to the Future they use it as humour...but a great example of a dark version is the film Pinn where the brother eventually reveals he wants to rape his sister...

      I mean, I think Disney was probably right to be wary, their brand is a very family-oriented one. Them passing on it doesn't necessarily mean that they thought it was bad, just that it was wrong for them. They had no way of knowing if it was going to turn out to be a cultural touchstone or the Folgers Incest Commercial.

    • @sweetnumb

      @@RobinHood3000 Nah, Disney was wrong. They've done a perfectly great job of digging their own graves by now. With how terrible The Last Jedi, Rogue One, whatever Episode 9 was called, the Marvel Universe (before Deadpool/Wolverine, though even in that one you could still feel that Ryan had less creative control and definitely Disneyfied it with fancy explosions and CGI, Deadpool 1 & 2 were unquestionably better), re-makes of classics that suck balls, never caring about having a real story, etc... Seriously though, Rogue One in particular was so bad that people actually had to lie to themselves and talk about it as if it wasn't the worst Star Wars movie ever made just so they could retain their sanity.
      They wrote so many classic stories while Walt Disney was alive, and that continued on for awhile until 1977 when Roy Disney resigned as an executive because the environment was too stifling for real creativity. They still managed to make some great films based off some previous philosophies, but those eventually faded out and idiot businessmen took over, especially in the 2010s and on they seemed as if they were intentionally fucking themselves with all the buy-outs and corporate bullshit they produced. With The Force Awakens it seemed like they were serious about heading in the right direction again, but that film's greatness was heavily based on how well the following movies handled the rest of the trilogy's story. But apparently they didn't write an outline for a trilogy, and instead said "fuck it, we'll do this one by one and who cares about continuity or anything making sense?"
      They are family-oriented for sure though. They apparently want to brainwash people into being just as boring and un-original as they are. If a kid has no passion or creativity they can't be problem-children, and what kind of family is better than that, right?

    The incest isn't a big deal because it wasn't reciprocated. Marty is repulsed by it & Lorraine doesn't know that's her future son, also Lorraine would've been attracted to any boy that her father ran over(hence why she married loser George), she was boy crazy. It's the rare case of accidental incest which is pretty funny if it doesn't go far.
    There's a lot of easter eggs in this movie that you can easily miss like The Twin Pine Mall changes to the Lone Pine Mall at the end because Marty ran over 1 of the pine trees the mall was named after or you can see part of the clock tower ledge missing in 1985( after 1955 Doc broke part of it)

    If you don't know, the storytelling principle you mention about the plutonium theft early in the movie is called Chekhov's Gun.
    Chekhov's Gun refers to any seemingly unimportant element that becomes significant later on in the story. “Remove everything that has no relevance to the story,” Chekhov wrote. “If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off."
    Chekhov's Skill is similar. You should introduce a skill that a character has that someone of their background might not normally have, before they actually have to use it. An example here is Marty dodging the 1955 goons on a makeshift skateboard. We've already seen that he skateboards in a similar way on a daily basis. Our main character has some skills in the area to help perform that action, so we believe it when he does it.
    Back to the Future is one of the best trilogies to have ever been made. Long may it remain untouched.

      Even the incidental dialog is important. Doc mentions that he's allergic to all synthetics (fabrics). In 1955, he saves the electrical plug because it snags on his wool pants. Had Doc been wearing the synthetic slacks of the time, that wouldn't have happened. 😁

Regarding the script: "Not only does Back To The Future balance its narrative across three timelines - the original 1985, 1955, and the altered 1985 - it does so while developing multiple iterations of more than half a dozen characters - Marty, the McFly family, Biff, Doc Brown, Mr. Strickland - and blending elements of action, adventure, comedy, and technology-driven sci-fi that’s all been made palatable for a young audience".

      Part of that was also because there was a "behind the scenes" interview with one on the directors who joked about them having produced functioning boards that were ready for sale, but Mattel had cold feet at the last moment and the boards were left locked up in a warehouse somewhere.
      People knew that he was joking of course but it didn't stop everyone sharing that story around and adding to the whole zeitgeist surrounding the movie.

    He could NOT "just say he's gay." Not in 1955. That would have been like saying he's a child molester. Wasn't accepted.
    The movie "got away with the things it did" because previous generations weren't as uptight about judging and canceling everybody for everything as yours is. We were normal human beings back then. It was just an amusing situation for a comedy movie.

    so Zamekis was really into Freudian Psychoanalysis at the time. in the original script Marty was complaining about his fear around creativity and Jennifer says something like "well Marty my therapist says that stuff is often due to family history"
    So each movie in the BTTF trilogy represents one of the phases of psychoanalysis.
    Doc is his doc
    Marty is the Ego, the self, he is the main character and doesn't want to be called a chicken. He wants a car to be able to go to the lake.
    George is the Superego, which is the sense of right and wrong that SHOULD be able to restrain the raw desire and violence of the ID. Marty's superego is underdeveloped.
    Biff is the ID. With an ID that's too strong and a superego that's too week, Marty is unable to be creative, is too egocentric, and is unable to get to the lake with Jennifer.
    The first of the three phases of psychoanalysis is dealing with the Oedipus complex, where he replaces the father/superego and it's spelled out in the clear Oedipus story in the plot. To deal with it he has to help boost the super ego and support it in supressing the id .
    Surprizingly the psychoanalytical analogy works for all three movies, but I'll save those for later reactions.

    The 1st BTTF is one of the tightest screenplays ever written.

    3. Eric Stoltz was first cast as Marty, but he didn't play well with others and was fired. Some of his long shots are still in the movie.
    4. The flammable material set on fire with the model exercise had to have been put there on purpose.
    5. It's always fun to see how people react to the Marty and his mom car scene. 🤣
    6. George McFly/Crispin Glover didn't like that the story ended with the family being prosperous.
    7. Twin Pines Mall becomes Lone Pine Mall when Marty takes one out when he goes back to 1955.

    It isn't really about her being uncomfortable about Lorraine and Marty (Lorraine doesn't know, and Marty is repulsed by her advances), it's more of the fact that she has no knowledge about human behavior.
    Example: When Lorraine sits next to Marty on the bed, and she asks him what is wrong, Marty replies that he's "fine, fine" while backing away scared...and this reactor is getting annoyed that Marty is saying "fine" like he's alright with it, not even paying attention that his body language saids the complete opposite.

    I like the questions you ask in the movies. I do the same and it tends to annoy people. But hey, someone needs to ask! For example, yes, yes ... we all know that the building breaking under his foot was added just to add tension and drama to the movie. And that if he was able to just hook up the cables with no problem and the car hit the mark without any worries or tension it would not be the same story telling. But I think the question as to why the building was so poorly constructed is still a valid question. Along with the other questions you asked. Jaja! Loved the reaction!
