What does that even mean?
Here's 7 reasons why Back to the Future is the ultimate Hollywood blockbuster.
1. A Perfectly Structured Script
The script is about as perfect a distillation of 3 act structure as you can find anywhere. Every book written about screenplay structure has to come to Back to the Future and bow in reverence. Every emotional beat, every character arc, every object that gets introduced and later fulfilled, every scene that moves forward both plot and character, every event that raises the stakes and complicates the happy outcome. It effortlessly reveals character and plot information while our narrative focus is looking elsewhere. It is a magic act but even if I know the trick I see the beauty in the execution.
That's not even mentioning the witty dialogue.
"Where's my pants?"
"Over there...on my hope chest."
