Back to the Future 25th Anniversery! ****

Back to the Future, now considered a classic, celebrated its 25th anniversary recently. I know that we usually blog about new movies, but i felt as if this would be an interesting tangent. In honor of its release, the movie was aired one time in one theater at the Puente Hills Mall. Interestingly enough, part of the movie was shot at the same mall. The scene features Marty McFly first discovering the flux capacitor's ability to time travel was indeed shot at the Puente Hills Mall, known in the film as Twin Pines Mall.

Many nerds, including myself, young and old gathered to watch the movie in theater. Most of us reciting the lines as they were said. Before the movie began, Claudia Wells, the actress who plays Jennifer Parker in the first Back To The Future actually graced us with  her presence and answered a few questions from the fans. After all the questions were answered the movie began and at the end of the movie each member of the audience got specialty posters as well as fliers that stated "Save the Clock Tower". It was interesting watching the movie in theaters considering i wasn't alive when it came out. But even though the film was made in 1985 it could have been written last month and still be considered progressive.

This movie has indeed stood the test of time, ironically. When it came out in 1985, it catered to a rapidly changing generation. As Marty Mcfly did in the film, no one could really put themselves in the shoes of their parents generations. Perhaps that's why so many people could connect with the characters in the film. Teenagers saw themselves in Marty and parents relived what they remember from their high school days in George and Lorraine's characters. 25 years later, our new generation has connected with the film just as the previous ones have.

This film was a critical and box office success when it was released 25 years ago and today it still has a special place in audiences hearts. This film will always have a solid 4 out of 4 rating in the past, present, and future.
