A timeless trilogy worth celebrating

Today is the day Marty McFly arrives in 2015 to save his son from ending up in prison and ends up unleashing a chain of events in Bback to the Future Part II.

“That was the day Marty McFly went to the future of flying cars, controlling the weather and hoverboards,” said Gabriel Martos, business major.

In the first part of the trilogy, the movie opens with a fly Marty McFly playing the guitar while plugged into Doc’s super amp.

He decides to meet Doc in the parking lot of a JC Penny to test his time machine. After a successful test with Doc’s dog, Einstein, the terrorists who worked with Doc, show up and gun him down, as Marty flees in the DeLorean to November 5, 1955. The rest as they say, is history.

Martos’ personal favorite is the first film, because of how the movie portrayed the butterfly effect of messing with the past.

He added, “All the characters that were in the first film, have their own characteristics.”

In the third film, They work together to send Marty back to 1885, to where Doc Brown is trapped.

As a whole, the trilogy does a good job tying in the movies together, almost seamlessly so that it seems that every event in the series was meant to happen.

Zach Marin, undecided major, said, “I like westerns […] I like how he gets all those fancy cowboy clothes from 1985 and then it’s like ‘oh these aren’t authentic at all. I thought it was pretty funny.”

He is disappointed that the future isn’t as it was in the second film.

The final movie is underrated, unfortunately since personalities of characters like Biff Tannen or Principal Strickland, all get their own little backstory, without sacrificing screen time.

About the Contributor

Gustavo Lopez, Online Editor
I have coffee for blood and I'm not entirely sure I'm human anymore. I sort of stumbled into journalism and Talon Marks but I'm glad I did because I've always lacked direction, even though I've always been told I'm "smart." I've never really felt smart, more like the world doesn't make sense and I'm just trying to make sense of it. I'm a huge gamer and geek and the very model of a scientist Salarian. One thing you'll hear me say usually after several cups of coffee is either "I am Krogan" or "it had to be me, someone else would have gotten it wrong." I hope the editors and the new staff learn from my past mistakes, as well the ones that came before. I wish everyone the best in whatever they may pursue. Let's kick some ass, write good news and show them Talon Marks is more than just the newspaper. We're a team and family. This is Goose signing off, go get'em.
