30 years
i read this on reddit today:
“If they started making a remake of Back to the Future today, it would probably be ready for release in 2015 — which means that when the new Marty McFly went back in time, he’d go back to 1985, the year the original movie was released.”
marty went back to 1955 (30 years before 1985). is it just me, or does the difference between 1955 and 1985 seem light years different than the difference between 1985 and today? does the fact that the technology had boomed, civil rights were achieved, and women’s equality was becoming a thing, make 1955 a dinosaur compared to 1985?
but dang – no hoverboard.
