Summary
A young man is accidentally sent thirty years into the past in a time-traveling DeLorean invented by his friend, Dr. Emmett Brown, and must make sure his high-school-age parents unite in order to save his own existence.
Marty McFly (main character), a typical American teenager of the Eighties, is accidentally sent back to 1955 in a plutonium-powered DeLorean "time machine" invented by slightly mad scientist.
DeLorean - time machine
During his often hysterical, always amazing trip back in time, Marty must make certain his teenage parents-to-be meet and fall in love - so he can get back to the future.
Marty is "fading"
After come across all the difficulty, finally he was successfully back to the future.
Marty tells the Doc he needs to back up further to get up to 88 mph, as they have no road. Doc replies, "Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!"
Don’t think that we don’t have enough road to change, because where we’re going, we don’t need roads. Not everything has to be at 88 miles per hour. As Doc Brown says: you’re just not thinking fourth dimensionally. Maybe we don’t see that we are in the right path, but if we think in time as well, we may see a brilliant future. This is OUR future. It’s us who must take action immediately so that dreams are possible. Our future hasn’t been written yet. No one’s has. Dreams come true if we work hard enough. But if we see beyond, we can see that everything is possible. Get out of the comfort zone and forge our own path in order to make something completely new, something that makes people pay attention.
BACKGROUND.SETTING
TECHNOLOGY
The technologies during 1950-1985 can be clearly seen through the electrical appliance they use. For instance, radio, phone, labratory apparatus. Nowadays, we seldom see these type of electrical aplliance around us. Even the camera and recorder is so vintage. I found that, all these electrical appliance share the same characteristic which are very bulky.
The revolution of car from 1950s-1980s- 2010s.
FASHION

PARTY
A party at 1950s. The stage background, the guitar and the activities reflect the society during 1950s.
PERSONAL.PERSPECTIVE
As a conclusion, to make a film a successful film is not an easy task. It need contributions from all aspects. During 1950s, people are just started to invent new technology and new things that contributes to the world. Althought a small action, it can change the world and change our future. From the aspect of fashion, it can cleary shows a people status. The society during that time like to involve themselve in activities such as a party/ celebration that allow them to have social interaction with each others. Nowadays, the teenagers prefered to stay at home with their computer games or social media rather than going to event and activities.
