Pippi Movies / A great movie recommendation every day
People will always miss the old and fantasize about going back to the past.
Whenever Pigo is tired at work, he hopes to be able to return to his middle school days, both to relive his youth and to prepare for the path that suits him best in the future.
The idea has been around since I watched the Back to the Future trilogy as a teenager, and it's a really nostalgic movie.

Genre: Comedy / Sci-Fi / Adventure Country of Production: United States Language: English Release: 1985-07-03 (USA) Runtime: 116 minutes Douban score: 8.5
Today, the "Back to the Future" series has long been regarded as the originator of cross-cutting movies in science fiction films, and the first episode was released as early as 1985.
This is the story that director Robert Zemeckis and screenwriter Bob Gale came up with.
The two were good friends as early as college, and after being appreciated by Steven Spielberg to enter the film industry, the first two works that were reluctant to launch were not successful, and "1941", which wrote the script for Spielberg, became the worst work of his career.
The script for Back to the Future was written for four years, and no studio was willing to buy it, but thanks to Spielberg's strong recommendation, Universal finally agreed to shoot it, and the production cost was only $19 million.
The film's story begins with an idea by Bob Gale, who finds his father's high school graduation album in the basement of his hometown and discovers that his father was the class president.
He couldn't help but wonder if he would be friends if he could travel back in time to his father's high school days.
Inspiration came, and with the help of Zemeckis, the two worked together to complete the script.
The male protagonist of the story is named Martin Mai Fei, a high school student, although it is a youthful and carefree age, but he does not get along well with his parents.
His father, George Mai Fei, was timid and cowardly, his mother, Lorraine Baines, was rigid and inflexible, and Martin, who was impulsive and competitive by nature, was very dissatisfied with his parents and was not less angry at home.
Martin's strange uncle friend Dr. Emmett Brown converts a DeLorean sports car into a time machine.
During the experiment, they were hunted down by terrorists, and Dr. Brown was shot and killed.
Martin traveled from 1985 to his parents' middle school days in 1955 in a sports car.
Martin meets George, who has been bullied by his classmate Beif Tennant since middle school, and is determined to make sure that his father finds self-confidence instead of bringing cowardice into adult life.
After hitting by mistake, he replaced his father and let his grandfather's car crash, and after meeting his future mother Loren, it was unfortunate that Lorene also had a good feeling for himself.
Fearing a bad knock-on effect on his own changing history, Martin approached Dr. Brown in 1955 and quickly persuaded him to help him return to 1985 (the future of 1955).
After some twists and turns, Martin finally convinces his father of his self-confidence, teaches the demon Bif, who has been riding on his head, and makes his mother Loren fall in love with his father (to avoid disappearing in the future).
Martin travels back to 1985 in a 1955 time-space sports car built by Dr. Brown and discovers that Dr. Brown in 1985 was not killed.
Because he had read the letter Martin had left for him, knew he would be attacked, and had put on body armor beforehand.
Dr. Brown decides to drive the sports car to see it 30 years from now, and Martin is going to go home to sleep, so the two break up.
Martin woke up the next day to find that his father, George, had become more successful and wealthier than before because he had found self-confidence, and his mother was thinner and better looking than before.
Martin reunites with his girlfriend Jennifer Parker, while Dr. Brown arrives from the future 30 years later to tell Martin that his and Jennifer's two children in the future have been arrested for involvement in a robbery.
In order to save their children in the future, Martin, Jennifer and Dr. Brown have to take another ride in a sports car.
The Easter egg ending was originally just a random idea from Zemeckis, and he didn't think that the movie would have a sequel.
Unexpectedly, after the release of the movie, it was a great success, and then it was logical to spend two $40 million to shoot two sequels, making "Back to the Future" a self-contained trilogy.
In 2017, when Han Han made "Riding the Wind and Waves", many people said that he copied the 1993 "New Difficult Brothers and Difficult Brothers" directed by Chen Kexin and Li Zhiyi.
However, why didn't the idea of the son of "New Brothers and Brothers" travel back to the past to be friends with his father not copy "Back to the Future"?
The truth is that 2000's Black Hole Frequency by Gregory Hobrit also references the film, and Easter eggs and tributes like Ready Player One are even more numerous.
The success of the Back to the Future series lies in its emergence.
In the early 1980s, sex comedy for the adult market became the mainstream of youth comedy films.
And the story of "Back to the Future" has been rejected by many film companies because it is not meaty enough.
Interestingly, Disney's reason for refusing that year was that they would not make a family movie about "mothers fall in love with their sons."
Apparently, Spielberg's vision made this film unique, which is easy to think of Star Wars and Sylvester Stallone, who had a very similar fate, and "Lodge" that ran through all hollywood studios and was finally bought by United American Pictures.
The Back to the Future series is not perfect, and this cross-over story is not invulnerable, but it is undeniable that it is a film that transcends that era, and only epoch-making films can last forever.
