Makes me think of what i want when i was young woman once man fel.in love with me i wish i hzd got thst man from concert what a life i would have hsd if i hzd judt got him
My guess is this is closer to what Eric Stoltz wanted as a sub plot to Back to the Future. They recastlllt the lead (Mekira Hardin) whim might have been a tomboy in that fikm. This moxie seems to me to be Back to the Future. Doesn't it?
Lea Thompson married Howsrd Deutch. I suspect that was written into the screenplay. It's an homage. Eric Stoltz is basically telling Hollywood to kiss his ass
I swear this is some kind if recompense by Hughes. It seems fairly clear that Eric Stoltz was mistreated (like he was in this movie). Why else would he say to Watts. 'You look good wearing my future'. Also Eric Stoltz didn't particularly like Zemeckis. I think he wanted a better ending and was partly fired for that reason. I suspect he wanted something much different than what was delivered to him. My guess is tyat Stoltz helped write this film. He wanted it to be about destiny. Nit alternative reality. The destiny is tyat he abd Watts finally forge a bond. The cast of Back to the Future is a backdrop to this film. IMHO
This has to be some kind of homage to Back to the Future. I suspect it was meant to include at least aspects of that movie. Keith is lost in a world that doesn't give him much joy.
It is subtle but when Watts shows up to chauffeur the date She is NOT wearing any earrings. This is a big deal since She's shown wearing piercings throughout the whole movie. That's like Keith says, "You knew you were going [to get the earrings] didn't you?" and She coyly denies it.
I loved how he literally swept her off her feet, spun her around and gave her another kiss that killed.. except this time they both knew it was for real and not just for "practice" ❤
I love this movie. Saw it in the theater back in the day. 1983. I was 25 years old. My mom just passed away and I thought this is what love was. Then I met my now ex. Life goes on. Got 3 great grand children collecting SS and a pension. I miss the 80's and the 70's as well. Seems like a million miles away.
One of the better 80's, teen, movies. It is in my top 5. Dream A Little Dream, Reckless, Some Kind of Wonderful, Pretty in Pink, and Ferris Bueler's Day Off.🤗
Except Nickelodeon did this exact love triangle plot for the 2000 film "Snow Day". Seriously Keith is Hal, Amanda is Claire, and Watts is Lane. Only in that movie the redheaded actress gets the guy.
Lea Thompson was so classy in this role I like how you would think she would be the typical popular bitchy queen but she was not at all. she had personality and elegance. John Hughes truly knew how to write these characters and movies! I'm so proud to be part of that generation growing up. The 80s rocked always and is still inspired today and always. The 80s will never die ❤
He’s really good at not blinking. Probably a valuable skill as an actor. Look at him. He literally cannot stop looking at her soul. It works! Lesson: If you are romantically interested in a stranger and don’t know how to flirt, look at their eyes and don’t blink. Serious. It works. If nothing else it shows bravery. Carry eye drops kids!
Love Lea Thompson I think BTHF is my favorite… I love the part where Lea is in the car with Michael J. Fox and she says to him relax you sound just like my mother! An Marty’s like WTF?!!
That’s a man!!!!! Sticking up for his friend and still having feelings for another! That’s a man! Handles it! Both woman saw their worth! That’s a friend and a man ! ❤
