In this clip of "Back to the Future" starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, a time machine built by the two is shown in the year 1985. Time machines and space travel are in almost everyone’s' depiction of the future, so this correctly portrays the ideas of the general public. In my opinion, this is a part of what made this movie so successful; there were no tricks or crazy representations of the future, just a straight forward movie about what everyone wants to see.
In most technology movies, the apparatuses shown are always very fancy and high tech; they are silver and shiny, with a great deal of rainbow colored buttons, and are able to just about anything one could imagine. That is not like in "Back to the Future though, the producers take more of a simplistic approach on how to reveal their messages within the movie. This is a great way to get people interested in the production because sometimes people don't fully understand the great lengths technology can go to, but in "Back to the Future," they can. They are able to somewhat connect to what is going on and how the time machine is made, which is a big part of a move- understanding. Another reason why I picked this clip is because the producers definitely represent the future of human society in a positive way. So many of the movies, shows, and books of this day and age show the future in a negative light; it is very rare that movies about upcoming generations don't have an underlying message within. Most reveal the harm our society is doing to our globe and it's effects on future generations to come, so I think this movie was definitely a breath of fresh air.
