Lea Thompson says the first ‘Back to the Future’ is still the best

Forty years ago this week, everyone was looking for 30 years in the past. (Wait, let’s take a calculator and make sure it adds up.) The release of Return to the future Michael J. Fox firmly established as superstar (and Wolf for teenagers Six weeks later, confirmed it), thanks to her charming and sympathetic performance as Marty McFly, a teenager from California who is caught “outtimate” graceful of her crazy friend who managed to build a time machine.

The film had the right premise, the right casting, the right special effects, the good meticulous deployment of Huey Lewis and the news, but, many would say, the scenario of the right and the Swiss watch, created by Bob Gale and Robert Zedeckis.

Indeed, the script was analyzed from all angles with the most robust microscopes in the world, and many which remain amazed by each of its intelligent contours. A person who is a particular fan is Lea Thompson, who, in a recent interview with People, said the OG Bttf To be the best of the trilogy, thanks to its solid rock presentation on the page.

“For me, it’s Return to the future 1, “Thompson, who played Marty McFly’s mother, said when he was asked which of the three films was his favorite.” It’s just a perfect scenario. And as a director, I can appreciate its conciseness. “”

She continued: “The truth is that Return to the future II And III were supposed to be a bit like a film, then they spread it in two. So, it was not built in the same way as Return to the future was. So I think it’s a perfect scenario. “”

Indeed, examining Return to the future It has long been a hobby for Sharp moviegoers, and a green field that cultivated Reddit Style Steps declaring “I just noticed this!” Long before the existence of Reddit. (The most famous is probably the fact that at the beginning of the film, Marty went to Twin Pines Mall. When he travels in 1955, he overturned a tree. When he returned in 1985, the sign reads Lone Pine Mall – but you only notice it during the 10th reproach because of all action on the screen.)

Gale and Zemeckis were nominated for a better Oscar of original script for the film – a victory in itself given the population of science fiction and comedy is generally ignored by the Academy. (He lost against WitnessAnother great film. Others in the running were Brazil,, Official historyAnd Cairo purple rose – What a year!)

Of course, Return to the future Works not only because of the Easter eggs that put the brain, but because of a strong dramatic traction (despite the wacky premise) and well -drawn characters. Thompson added that she likes to see the film now 40 years old with an audience during special projections.

“It is really a joy when we look in the audience when we do one of these talk-backs and half of the people were not even born when the film was released,” she said. “I feel so grateful that I am known for this film which has such a longevity, and it’s such a large part and such a big film. It’s really wonderful.”

However, she added that there were uncomfortable moments with the film.

“My daughters were so traumatized by the guys’s embraces,” she said, laughing. “I don’t even know if I was with them the first time they saw the film. They used to cry because when they were children, I was doing Caroline in the city, And I would kiss a new guy every week. It would be on television and they would start to cry. They just became traumatized while looking at me, so I did not show them anything. I am surprised by this day when they can somehow quote something in the film. I don’t remember having shown them. “”
