FILLING A CHECK IN FORM

 

October, 21st 2015.

For most of the people born in the seventies and the eighties, this date represents the day Martin Mc Fly comes back to the future.

You may think this is a paradox, but it is not for the great number of fans that the movie BACK TO THE FUTURE  has around the world.

This is one of he most representative scenes of the first movie of the trilogy.



To conmemorate the day in which Martin  shows up in our era, many companies, PEPSI among

them, have launched  a series of products and merchandising with  relation to  the movie.

 Have a look at  the same scene you have seen above, this time in a video game.

Here, we have Martin coming  back to the "future" Hill Valley and, according to the movie, this is 

how our time should be like:

If you want to find out   some of the non-existing technologies of the time which appear in the

movie, watch this video.

Now, after all this information, can you write some sentences in the present and past time showing

 what you know about the movie?

By the way, their coming into the present time came true!!!
