Back to the Future II
Robert Zemeckis, 1989
Wow! Do you remember Back to the Future? Of course! October 21st is World Back to the Future Day, the date Marty and Doc traveled to from 1985 to 2015. And that has finally arrived.
It's the day Marty McFly traveled to in his life in 1985 with his girlfriend at the beginning of Back to the Future II, driven by his crazy good friend "Doc" Brown.
And as he recalled in a video released today (below), "The future has finally arrived. Yes, it's different than what we all thought. But don't worry. It just means your future hasn't been written yet. None are. future is what you do. Just make it a good one."
The second film is not turning 30 because it is from 1986, but 2015 really marks the thirtieth anniversary of the beginning of the saga and the association of the two anniversaries is the pretext for great celebrations of the World Day of Back to the Future, which will far beyond the return of the Robert Zemeckis saga to some cinemas around the world or its re-release on Blu-Ray and DVD with a new short where Christopher Lloyd returns to the skin of his most iconic character.
In recent months, from the flying hoverboard to the self-tightening sneakers, fans and media have reflected on the audacious vision of the future as seen in 1989 and the predictions that came true (or not).
Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd did the same during a five-minute short that marks the launch of Toyota's first hydrogen car and can be seen on a special website.

The reunion touched the audience of fans, who dedicated a prolonged ovation to the two protagonists of "Back to the Future".
The impact reached social networks through photographs and mainly through videos: one of them, which records the moment when a moved Fox hugs Lloyd, who in turn embraces him in a hug, has already had more than 9.5 million views since Sunday.
So touching!! The courage of Michael J. Fox to appear in public despite his Parkinson disease. He always fighting against!
The two actors and friends spoke of the "immediate chemistry" that brought them together during the filming of the first film and the Parkinson's disease that, for many years, has affected Michael J. Fox.
And about this pathology, the eternal Marty McFly says that he always had the support of his friend and colleague.
"People like Chris have been there for me."

For those more nostalgic, the video of the full conversation can be seen above.
- Education: The Narrative, science fiction
39 years later, stars of the movie Back to the Future meet again. Wow!
It's a wonderful and touching moment to include science-fiction into your lessons!
An incredible real story of life joined the science-fiction narrative profiting of this special day and the awesome trilogy Back To The Future too include into school curricula: Sciences and Literature.
Films in school curriculum?
Of course. Students love to learn using movies as a motivation:
Do you remember Alice in Wonderland by Tim Burton in the classroom or Prince of Persia: an interesting narrative text?
Movies offer to students a nice motivation push and interesting digital resource to learn about science-fiction.
Science-fiction gives the students the power of magic through science and literature
A narration let us know something. It tells us what happened. It tell us a story. Our students love hear and see narrations. And they love themes about the future with a great and unusual imagination.
Films provide the necessary information to understand the educational benefits of digital resources and virtual worlds and to learn how to use them as educational and motivational resources.
As teachers, we can use the interest of science-fiction and these magical films to help students learn to write and, at the same time, meet most of the curriculum standards associated with talk and writing skills. When their heads are into it, young people can write far better than when they are simply doing an assignment. Narratives, perforce, put their heads into the task.
Games in curricula:
Hey! Don't forget the game !
Marty McFly and Doc Brown return in a completely new Back to the Future adventure. Six months after the events of the third film, the DeLorean Time Machine mysteriously returns to Hill Valley - driverless! Marty must go back in time and get aid from a resistant teenage Emmett Brown, or else the space time continuum will forever be unraveled!
