The endings of good films with confusing plots often tend not to always suit all viewers. In the history of cinema, there have been cases where creators decided to film alternative endings, which was intended to satisfy curious audiences somewhere outside the original film. This was the case The Butterfly Effect Since 2004, their number has reached Four cinematic endings. Just like the hero of this article, the film by Eric Bryce and J. Mackey Gruber Talk about time travel. I almost missed it Back to the future From 1985, directed by Robert Zemeckis He will also get an alternate ending.

Before we get to know them, let’s refresh the movie’s plot a little. The story tells the story of Marty McFly, a teenager who is transported to the 1950s using a time machine.Where he witnesses his parents start dating. The boy notices this His father, George, is a clumsy, kind-hearted, and somewhat anti-social man. So Marty decides Give him some adviceby ten He won the heart of his future wife.

thanks to them George gains confidenceand at times when the teenager returns to the father Become a best-selling science fiction writer. Interestingly, It wasn’t the only career pathWhich the movie included for the hero.

The second special edition I assumed so George wasn’t supposed to change much Thanks to meeting his son, he is still seen as a stereotypical nerd. The scene in which Biff hits was supposed to be the impetus for George’s personality change At the school disco in defense of Lauren. In this version of the scenario, When Marty returns to the present, he discovers that his father has become a professional boxer.

Why does the original ending of Back to the Future make sense?

The creators abandoned the ending in which Marty’s father will become a boxer. In the end, they did not like this solution. They decided That fight with a local rioter wouldn’t cause such a change At George’s disposal. They didn’t want the protagonist to become like the antagonist.

The ending made more sense After meeting a boy who claims to be his son from the future, George decides to start writing science fiction novels. By choosing to make George a successful writer, the creators showed that the character remained true to his own beliefs and that the bully who tormented him learned his lesson anyway. It was this ending that eventually made it into the movie.
