Great Film: Back to the Future Part II
Excess with good reason, good skill, and great results!
Marty McFly is back, and this time he has to travel back to 1955 after an
unfortunate incident which took place in 2015 so that he can prevent the
destruction of the peaceful society of Hill Valley (what a great fictional
name!). The film provides two hours of absolutely wonderful and fun
entertainment.
Every paradox and logical problem of time-travel is explained very well in
the film itself, and those that are left out are easily overlooked due to
the creativeness of the rest of the film. Who cares that if Marty leaves
1985 in a time machine to 2015, there would be no Marty left in 1985 to grow
to up into the 47 year old Marty in 2015? This movie is so much fun that
things like this are gladly forgotten about in order to accept the huge
amount of satisfaction delivered by the film.
The Back To The Future trilogy is a perfect example of the need to be
willing to abandon at least a tiny bit of logic in order to fully enjoy a
movie. This suspension of disbelief is necessary for a person to be able to
truly experience the effectiveness of all three Back To The Future films,
and this experience truly is a great one.
It is so rare that a film or a series of films comes along that is so well
written and perfectly acted and directed as the Back To The Future movies
are. Although I realize that another sequel would probably be disastrous to
the credibility of the series as a whole, I have to admit that I have always
been disappointed that they stopped at the third film. All three are so much
fun that they leave you wishing that the story left room for a few more
sequels.
