Same here. What he fails to realize is, that his interpretation is actually just his opinion.

What he fails to understand is that Glover's opinion makes the assumption that Marty was doing this for money. He accidenly changed his present in the past. The closest we ever see about time traveling for cash in the first movie is the joke doc makes about seeing the next World Series.

Same here.

No, what you fail to realize... He made the MOVIE! He talked with the producers, directors and other actors daily. So I think he knows what the directors/ producers goals were and you on the other hand actually don't know what YOU'RE talking about!!!

Well, I think Zemeckis mentioned in a documantary when making the second and third BTF that the first BTF’s ending is too materialist

That's exactly how I think about the ending however, Crispin Clover is(was) an idealist and at that point and maybe over thought the ending.

@@Douglas_Hamilton It was the Reagan days, I'm sure the vibe of the ending was different back then.

That however is still a very materialistic view. Maybe this is an American thing that goes back to Salem and the Puritans. Wealth is a sign of the Lord's favor, while poverty is the mark of the sinner.

How do you know he didn't ask for a lot of money?his character is in the movie.if they didn't want him then don't write him in the screenplay

👍🏻

True, you will rarely see that today or even in the last 20 years. Dont want to get black-balled.

@Auseum Highlights No, he didn't ask for double than what Micheal J Fox was making. That's a misinterpretation

As the riddler perhaps not, but as a totally new villain never seen before absolutely ! :)

stop reading other peoples comments and pretending they are your own. you've been found out.

Now I wish he had a longer , more vocal role in Charlie's Angels movies. He does have the intensity and intriguing quality to play a strong villain.

SURE THING ! WE'LL LOVE TO SEE HIM AS A VILLAIN AND THE RIDDLER IS A GREAT IDEA.

That's because things were changed... we don't know the original ending.

Well they did listened some of his questions and changed it a bit, the true ending was quite different.

Exactly, and when we meet Marty in the beginning, he is dreaming (like most seventeen year olds without cars do) of owning a beautiful truck that can hold a lot of camping gear. After everything he goes through (saving himself from non-existence and dodging his mother's affections lol ) he gets rewarded for his long and weary quest because he helped his father become a better man.

And also, Marty got to know his father (learning about his sci fi stories) and no doubt gained more respect for him after George stood up against his bully of three decades.

He gets around to the point that if you do what you love and believe in yourself that you become happy and possibly successful. I don't know why he got caught up on the idea that it was a corporate/capitalist message. It's true about Part 2 as well, very interesting.

That was a GREAT line!

They had a BMW and they bought their 17-year-old son a brand new 4x4 truck. The McFlys were wealthy!

@@Proximityillusions That is your interpretation of wealth. He became successful writer, Lorraine was happy and still in love with George and that is where the wealth really is.

@Brian Dahlen I was going to say the same thing. They appeared more financially secure, but they lived in the same house as before, not a mansion or anything like that.

@Mekehl Lane And we don't have time machines either dumbass.

but you get that the ending was altered because of Crispin Glover's (and probably many others') point that there shouldn't be a monitary reward. We can only guess but the first idea had probably been really bad.

yeah because they changed the ending. Crispin Glover is still not happy but it seems better than their old/first idea

I agree totally.

having an opinion doesn't mean you should be penalized for it. It seems the director and producer are too thin-skinned

Your shoes are not tied .

You wouldn't want that, would you?......WOULD YOU?

@@Kev-england32 me 5 years ago would never have thought that he would be entertaining John j in the future!

@@deathofasalestactic yeah it sure made me laugh😀

He's a moron. Who is he to question Spielberg when it comes to writing?

NXTWomenFan yeah that’s the part of the film that he talks about in this video that was changed. And as he says that wasn’t the only one to object and I don’t think that was the big issue. However, I would say when he then asked about the monetary aspect being changed as well it was probably enough to irk Bob Gale and the others having already agreed to changing one part of the ending already.

The problem is that so many people seem to lose their heads over it. Once you have enough to remove the stress of meeting basic survival needs, chasing more is a waste of one's life. Being healthy and with the people you love is the only wealth that matters.

@Emmanuele Spataro Lots of people with a ton of money are also depressed. It's definitely not a guarantee.

You got that right! Being broke restricts one to small things, like sleeping under a tree, being harrassed by both police and criminals and dumpster diving for food.

@J Wil Yep, doesn't bring happiness but sure takes the sting out of being poor.

xiaochicash I was broke my hole life. I was getting thick of it and learned how to make, and deal with, money. Now my life is so much richer.

Same for me. I was also naive at 20 years old. I never interpreted a materialistic message from the movie. The lesson in the movie of "If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything" does not mention anything about money.

I've been poor. No fun. I'm in the top 15th percentile now and life's much more comfy. Money is not an issue.

that's not really why eric got booted though. michael j fox was the original choice but wasnt available because of family ties, so they went with eric stoltz. but he was really really intense and from what I've read, had a few issues with other people on set. and then michael became available so they brought him in instead

@@yourlocalmouthbreather9117 In an interview for Netflix’s The Movies That Made Us, the Back to the Future creators gave an interview about Stoltz's time as Marty McFly, where they discussed how his depressing reading of Back to the Future’s ending was part of what lost him the role. Stoltz’s interpretation was that Back to the Future was a tragedy since Marty returns to the future with an entirely new life, making him an outsider in his family. The reading may have gotten Stoltz fired, but he has a point - Marty is essentially a stranger to his own life when he returns home; he knows that his family isn’t who they were before, and while he can put the pieces together, he doesn’t know what his new life has been like for the past 17 years. In a way, Marty returning to his life in 1985 as the same teenager he was before is a plot hole. The rest of his family changed in significant ways that affected their demeanors, life goals, personalities, and dynamics, all of which would have impacted Marty’s personality as well. Stoltz’s reading of Back to the Future as a tragedy is essentially correct; Marty would be cursed with not knowing who he really is, which would be the equivalent of having retrograde amnesia, having no memory of his life before returning from the past.

@Jonathan Kent Thanks, I'll be sure to check that out.

He had a small part in Epic Movie where he was genius. Also check him out in Charlies Angels.

+Rain Drifter Well, I guess we all have different interpretation of the same event. From what he has said, I think that it is his sincere opinion that they could've made the Mcflys more modest, and maybe George could even buy Marty a more modest truck and Marty would still be happy about it. But still... it wouldn't make a killer ending without that killer truck! ;)

But at the end he became just like Biff ordering him around but Biff put two waxes on do jot lie to me. Exact same words in the first movie when Biff adressed him.

another message was that it was fine for Doc and Marty to mess with the timeline but not Biff. Why did ruining Griffs life mean more than Marty Mcfly Jr's?

@@frangofett and there should have been 2 deloreans in the third film but they keep that quiet

They didn't ruin Griff's life. If anything, they did him a favor. Since he was jailed for crashing into the courthouse, he didn't get to do the robbery, which would have landed him a 15 year prison sentence. Instead, he just did some property damage. Also there were two Deloreans in the third film, but the second one was already in the cave when Marty arrived in 1885 and they couldn't do anything about it since it had to stay there for Marty to find in 1955.

@@frangofett Every time they time traveled, they ruined something and had to go back and fix it, which lead to Doctor Brown literally saying he regretted building the time machine and wanted it to be destroyed. Based on that I wouldn't really say they made it seem like it was "fine" for Doc and Marty to mess with the timeline.

It's Just Bree The only reason for Doc taking Marty to the future was for him to change the timeline for his kids.

He wasn't just one of the actors. He played one of the most important parts in the film. Also, many actors care about the messages their films carry/project.

Also, they didn't end up filthy rich or they wouldn't have been in the same house or neighborhood. I thought it showed that George had gained confidence by facing his fears and became successful. It would have been a bad choice to make them the richest in the world, but they didn't do that. That said, having cowardly Biff polishing his car (never would have happened) seems like justice, but that really showed that George had turned into a bully too. THAT said, Crispin stole every scene he was in and part 2 and 3 would have been better if he had been there.

@Brian Allen I disagree.

I agree, an actor shouldn't really disagree with the story in this type of situation. It's just a fun movie. Just trying to push your opinion over the producers will not be met nicely. Crispin is a great actor and seems like a nice guy but I don't think he has all of the pieces.

I don't believe it was implied that the maid was black. Also, There was a line that implied that the McFly's were having a mansion built which was also removed.

I always found it odd that seeing how successful his siblings were with his brother declaring I always wear a suit, why were they still living at home and not out on their own

I think part of the "distant and surreal" feeling might be the reality that, at the end, his family has completely different memories of Marty's childhood than what Marty has, as Marty grew up in the other timeline.

I want him to sing me a lullaby 😂

GamesAndGoodMusic Well, of course they don't. But it is interesting food for thought that this message is there (very obvious one) and almost nobody picks it up because we are so use to see stuff like that. Nobody thinks "money = hapiness" when watching something like that in the movie, but this kind of "propaganda" is literary everywhere.

+richard hertz Right. And George even says "If you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything." This self assured attitude stems from that pivotal moment when he knocked Biff out at the dance. That's where his confidence comes from, like you said. And not from money.

They watch it to find out how to get back to the future 😎

Maybe because it's too obvious? Americans have been well conditioned to be oblivious to things like this, and that also goes for corporate bias in the media in general.

It was a definitely an element. However, imagine watching the film back in 1985! The attitude of the 80s around the world, especially in the United States was that more is better, and wealth equals happiness and success. This was due to the booming 80s where growth and progress was really happening and seemed limitless. The Baby Boomers (and the younger ones of the Silent Generation) benefitted from this boom so much. Unfortunately the world learned and witnessed the abuse of all the growth, wealth and resources, which is why the world is in the state it's in now, not just in the USA. That is why the impression of the ending of the film has only been discussed more after the 1980s.

so u would say that in presenting the movie ending that zemeckis & company chose to go with, they were merely reflecting the values of that time, and were not responsible in any way for affirming or further normalizing / idealizing those values?

The country was prosperous in the 80s. And yes, overconsumption, borrowing from banks, etc became huge. But to assign "greed" to Reagan isnt entirely fair. Those are the choices of individuals. I can just as easily say the LBJ era sparked greed and envy.

Why not? If they can deliver a good reboot, I'd like to see it.

Burger King, RCA as well, and many more!

@J Wil Hahaha

When Marty walks out into the living room near the end, that scene calls out the change in monetary wealth. It's not absurd, but it's blatantly obvious. The furniture, his parents are now both health club members, the family is wearing nicer clothes, and the badass truck bought for Marty. It's pretty clear that the makers of the movie wanted the fans to notice the disparity and make the connection that wealth and superficiality were important to the McFly family. There are tons of people like this out in the world so it's not uncommon. I'm not saying it's an awful mentality to have, but many people care about the message that their work can carry. Also, if you listen closely, Crispin mentions that there are other reasons and he won't go into all of them.

I don't think he's disparaging wealth. He doesn't equate success only with wealth. Therefore he questioned the takeaway from the shiny 4x4 symbolism gifted to a kid. His character's kid. Gifted by his character.

No.

+Frankamentise He also questions the Talmud in an article he writes called What Is It?

Oh brother. Really?? 🙄

I don't think Glover questions all this. It's the symbolism. He dared to question the takeaway and just perhaps there was hostility instead of willingness to engage openly with his response. A lot of people said, they were just comfortable, living in the same house, greater quality of life. True, to a point. Yet Marty as a character is the same age as the young Glover. And being gifted a spangling-new truck is way more than the average upwardly mobile perk. He could see that.
