	"Blackest  periods"?!    "Mutual  hate  and  suspicion"?!  
	_Back to the Future_  is  a  COMEDY.  It's supposed to be 
	fun.  Would you rather  that  Marty had gone back to 1955 
	to  find  that  his  parents  were   ruthlessly   hunting 
	"pinkos".   Give me a break.  You're  missing  the  whole 
	point.   It  makes  an  attempt,  albiet  a  feeble   one 
	perhaps,  to see to show that weaknesses can be overcome.  
	And  it  lets you live a day dream where you wonder  what 
	your parents were  really  like when they were teenagers.  
	Forget the heavy social  message.   It  was  a little day 
	dreaming movie meant for entertainment  and  it  does   a 
	good job. Try and have a good time.
