Back to the Future III borrows a scene from an older movie

  • This scene from the 1979 film Time after Time very much resembles the scene in Back to the Future III where Doc Brown tells Clara that he's a time traveler from the future. And they even use Mary Steenburgen for the same role in both films. I would prefer to call this an homage rather than artistic plagiarism.

    I think Robert Zemeckis's casting of Steenburgen in BTTF III was a deliberate homage to this.

    Can't believe it took me 38 years to watch "time after time" and I'm a big fan of the back to the future series and also the original "time machine". Enjoyable movie, a quirky adult version of back to the future with a murder thriller ride.

    I'm sure there's a massive temporal paradox here. H.G. Wells takes Mary Steenburgen to the past, and Doc Brown Brown takes her back to the future (see what I did there).

    Yes this is why Zemekis got Mary Steenburgen and put her in the same situation of falling in love with the time traveller, having to be told, getting angry, finally believing and then they save each other. The exposure of time travel dialog is almost the same yet the roles are reversed with her the Victorian and Doc the modern man of the 1980s.
    This was my favorite movie in the 70s. The director of TAT went on to do Wrath of Kahn and he wrote a Sherlock Holmes novel that was a best seller.

    Time After Time stole this from Back To The Future 3 cuz they hopped in their time machine and flew to 1989, watched BTTF 3, and then filmed Time After Time.

    My Dad saw this movie in 1979 and then many years later my Dad decided to see Back to the future part 1 part 2 and part 3 and was reacting that Mary Steenburgen doesn’t believe that two crazy men from different eras that are time travel guys. I was born in 1996 and grew up watching the Back to the Future franchise of my favorite movies. Because I still remember watching it on DVD and on Tv and as an adult I get see to this movie now Time after time.

    also remember Nick Meyer, the director of Time After Time, said that Back to the Future's producer studied the movie
    Meyer also wrote the script for Star Trek 4 in which Captain Kirk has to convince a girl in San Francisco by the bay that he's from the future

      Very far west it would seem. As when Amy and Wells went back in time, they would have arrived back where the time machine started, in Wells' basement in Victorian London.

    Additionally, we have the scene where the camera goes from the clocktower to David Warner looking at his watch (very similar to the way the shot of Doc Brown at the clocktower begins, with the shot panning down from the clocktower to Doc looking at his multiple watches - one of which, is also a pocket watch)

    • @hueowen2786
      @hueowen2786 4 роки тому +2

      I believe this film followed the theory that all of time is a linear fixed reality. There are no alternate or branch realities. Things can only happen once, and once done they can not be undone. Which means although Wells invented a time machine, whatever he or Jack The Ripper do in diffrent times were going to happen regardless. It also implements the contradictory paradox which is that we all have free will meaning right up to the very second we make a choice, we are in control of what that choice will be, yet whatever choice we make, we were always fated to make that choice. Free will with predetermined outcomes. A paradox is self contradictory, yet this contradicts the paradox. So in the end, even though Wells can go back in time, he can not change time by undoing what has already happened because things can only happen once. And once done it can not be undone, in this case, Jack using the time machine to escape into the future, so his only chance was to go to the future and stop Jack from killing other people.

    Years ago I had a dumb idea about a time traveler from the past and a time traveler from the future who end up in the modern world and fight for the love of the same woman. I think Time After Time and BTTF3 subconsciously gave me that idea.
    I am surprised with all the YA sci-fi and fantasy stories that revolve around love triangles, that I still haven't seen this done yet.

    @Aeolis7 I have edited both scenes you are talking about and put them on UA-cam a few years ago... Unfortunatelly UA-cam doesn't know what "fair use" and "educational purpose" is all about. The two minutes clip was removed from youtube... I also edited a clip showing the scene of bttf 3 when Marty arrives in the town for the first time. There is a camera movement over the roof of the train station that is a homage to the same shot in Sergio Leone's "once upon in time in West".

    That's what I've been trying to figure out for almost 40 years! She absolutely SUCKED in this. I could've done a better acting job. I never would've thought this woman would've won an Oscar after seeing this. But my other thought is that she seemed drugged up, so maybe she was taking downers or something and that had something to do with it.
