Back to the Future

In the spirit of inside or outside photography, I was inspired by the recent  "Back To The Future day".
If you have never seen back to the future, basically, there is a scientist called Doc Brown that creates a time machine and accidentally sends Marty Mcfly (played by Michael J. Fox) back in time, to when his parents were teenagers ( really its amazing they made 3 films out of this concept) Mcfly is then tasked with finding past Doc Brown to help him re build the time machine and return to the future. and so on and so forth.

Whist watching this film I noticed how much of an outsider the character Marty Mcfly is because he didn't know anyone, It was the same place he had grown up in just a different period in time, it was familiar yet strange.

Each time he goes back in time or even forward in time (in the second one they travel to 2015) Mcfly becomes a outsider yet again.

This proves that you can be an outsider in more than just photography, you can be an outsider in just about anything.

Finally, Back to the future has been a film that has stuck in the hearts of many for a very long time, and was even the inspiration for the the name of hit 'Boy Band' Mcfly.  You wouldn't necessarily understand the themes behind the films if you were kid at the time they were being released, however many adults and teenagers today can pick up on them and really understand the message it is trying to put across.

This is a short post but it sums up what I thought about Back to the Future and the ideals it is trying to present.
