Huey Lewis and The News quick off this film with 'The Power of Love' which is a blues rocking song, very feel good and great as an opening song to the soundtrack. This is the film in which Marty McFly plays Chuck Berry's 'Johnny B Good' so already it has a fantastic soundtrack to it.
The Doc creates a time machine which can send people back in time, it's a car but after he gets shot by Libyans Marty drives off in the car which can do a record breaking 80 mph in order to escape from the gunmen and once he reaches 80 mph he ends up going back thirty years and interfering with his parents meeting and few other things in the past, meaning that when he eventually gets back to the future things aren't the same so he is going to have to go back to the past in the next film and set things right.
I love the fact that Marty tries out in a band contest and plays a heavy metal of 'The Power of Love' and Huey Lewis tells him that are 'too loud'. Rock and Roll is moving on, by the nineties you have the likes of 'Nirvana', 'Oasis', 'Metallica' and 'ACDC' so there is so much prospect for rock and roll. Seeing Marty play the guitar (even though it isn't James L Fox) is lovely, especially as he is actually playing recognised chords- when he is playing Chuck Berry he is playing it exactly the way that it should be played so even though it isn't him he has at least learnt to make it look real which is always good. A solid soundtrack always makes out for a really decent film. No exceptions.
Back to the Future is a great film in every way. Seeing some of the faces and recognising them from other films is wonderful. People that I thought did nothing with their career after their breakthrough went on to work with Steven Spielberg! Gotta love it. Excited for the second film but it will be a few months until it features as there are a lot of other films that also need to feature and I don't want to write the same review on repeat like I almost did with Mission Impossible.
