Forty years!!
I can’t believe it!
It only seems like five minutes ago since I celebrated its
thirtieth anniversary.
How time flies.
Speaking of time, I was sent back in time to 1985 – my era. Then I was propelled back to 1955, my dad’s timeline.
The numbers flicking over at 9am on Marty McFly’s analogue
radio alarm clock is a stark contrast compared to how people tell the time
nowadays. I look at the time on my mobile devices, especially whenever I am out
somewhere where there is no clock in sight. That goes to show how much technology
has changed since the film was released all that time ago.
The video camera is another piece of antiquated technology
that Marty used in the movie when he was recording Doc Brown’s presentation about
his new invention; the time machine. The camera is also on my device.
Everything is compact these days.
The motor car has certainly evolved over the course of a century, except for the one in the movie, the De Lorean. This was the time machine that sent Marty back to 1955, thirty years before his time. What I loved about the De Lorean was its streamlined design and silver coating. The doors were really cool because they lifted open. The futuristic vehicle did return Marty to his own time, though I am not revealing how. Anyone who is reading this will have to watch the movie.
What I had noticed about the movie was that the picture was
slightly narrower than the screen, which marked the period before high
definition came into existence. I could
not watch Back to the Future when it first came out because I was only
seven years old at the time. But I felt very privileged to see it on the big
screen forty years later.
