The story is awesome, it is delivered cleverly and entertainingly, and the movie as a whole is just so much FUN that it can be forgiven whatever number of time-travel discrepancies that may be found in the plot. You can have in-depth conversations about the plausibility of the story-line and spend hours discussing the film. One of the best things about Back To The Future is that it really makes you think. I first saw this film when I was six years old, and it is the only movie that I know of that I don't think I could ever get sick of. The casting of every character involved was absolutely perfect, and the performances were spectacular. Everyone knew they would never forget it.Back To The Future is such an inventive and exciting piece of filmmaking that it is impossible to forget about it. His lo-fi, sepia-saturated take on a school concert that descends into madness – complete with slo-mo cheerleaders, smashed up guitars and smoke and fire in a sports hall full of sweaty headbanging teens – was as disturbing and anarchic as the song itself. There’s one more thing that makes ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ the song of the decade, and that’s Samuel Bayer’s now iconic video. Anger, despondency, pain and chaos ripped through a million bedrooms as we listened to Cobain wail, scream and howl lyrics that were as confusing as they were powerful: “A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido… hey.” What the fuck?
A generation of disaffected youth had found an anthem like no other. This was like nothing we’d ever heard before: the sound of Seattle’s grunge scene coming out of the garage like a ravenous monster.
Many words have been written about ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit,’ and we’re about to add a few more, but it’s almost impossible to overstate the sonic earthquake that this song caused around the world in 1991. Like everyone else, they got into Nirvana the moment they heard the first ten seconds of ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ on the radio: Kurt Cobain’s dirty Boston-aping guitar riff exploding as Dave Grohl’s kit and Krist Novoselic’s bass smashed their way into the song and our collective consciousness. All the cool kids will tell you that they were into Nirvana back in ’89 when they released Bleach on Sub Pop.
