Back to the Future Parallel Scenes

Two Scenes from Parts 1 and 2 of Back to the Future. Listen to the music carefully, you will notice the same musical themes are in both scenes, both scenes deal with letters, and both scenes feature a revelation that Doc is alive.

I don't get the point of this video. There are tons of parallels between all three films. Anyone who has seen them knows that they reuse similar or even same music cues, as well as other elements.

@chewbacca1010, the point of the video is appreciation. Many subtle elements of film-craft are overlooked or unnoticed by many viewers, so this brings one such parallel to attention to celebrate the filmmakers and musicians, and their brilliant use of lemotif, recurrent themes, and parallelism to tell the story.

Great Scott!!!!!!!! BTTF 1,2 AND 3 ARE MY FAVORITE MOVIES

Marty thinks Doc was killed by the Libyans in part 1.

Marty thinks Doc was killed by the lightning strike in part 2.

They both involve Marty knowing Doc is still alive due to an aged written letter.

The universe is really out to get Doc Brown...first he gets killed by libyans, lightning, and then Biff Tannen.

@kckern Fair enough.

Been watching The Trilogy for over 20 (!) years now, and never noticed the letter parallelism till now.

Well done, sir.

Erm...hello! This is one of the themes, its used here and a slightly diff version used in other parts of movie

[emnal2000]

@XxYousefXxxx And they never made BTTF 4. This is getting heavy.

[funplayer1000]

Good observation... I love the moment right after Marty says "There's only one man who can help me..." The music starts back up as we cut to Doc trying to send Marty back to the future... Can't imagine what it must feel like to someone who's never seen it before. I ENVY THEM.
