![]() ![]() If they clearly don’t remember him nor have anything to remind themselves of Calvin from 1955 – they would have no reason to think Marty looks like Calvin would they? No plot hole. So my conclusion is that they just do not remember Calvin from 1955, memories fade especially over a thirty year period. Is that’s George remembering the quote but not necessarily remembering who said it, so credits himself? George uses Marty’s quote about putting your mind to something, which Marty said to his father back in 1955…except he doesn’t credit Calvin with the quote and says “Like I’ve always told you…”. George: “ Like I’ve always told you, you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.” Lorraine: “ Oh, honey! Your first novel.” Lorraine: “ We never would have fallen in love.” I’ve had to stay on top of Biff ever since High School. Always trying to get away with something. George and Lorraine credit Biff with getting them together and not Calvin. The film itself even highlights as much in its dialogue. Then to finish, it could be as simple as George and Lorraine just do not remember Calvin/Marty. But people expect George and Lorraine to remember what Calvin Kline from school looked like three decades ago who they only knew for a few hours over the course of a seven day period? Yeah he helped them get together and of course you’d think they would remember that right? Well… Marty may have been in 1955 for a week but would have spent only a handful of hours with them over those seven days. Do you really expect the now middle aged adults to remember the face of someone they met thirty years previously while they were teenagers with nothing to remind them? Even more so, Marty/Calvin hardly spent any time with George and Lorraine when he was in 1955 under strict instructions from Doc, he only interacted with them when necessary (after messing up the time line). There were no pictures of Calvin for his parents to look back on. It had been thirty years from when Marty was in 1955 to 1985. Okay so this is how I look at it and how I think the film looks at it too. But seeing as Marty spent time in 1955 interacting with his then teenage parents, why do they not recognise him in 1985? Why doesn’t George think it suspicious that Marty looks just like that Calvin Klein kid from his school? So at the end of the flick, Marty returns to 1985 from 1955 and a lot has changed (more on that later), one of the biggest changes is how in love his parents George and Lorraine now are compared to the start of the film pre-time travel. This is probably one of the biggest and most referenced plot holes from the first film. Why Don’t 1985 George & Lorraine Think That Marty Looks Like Calvin Klein From School? So prepare yourselves as this is going to get heavy. There are quite a few to cover over the entire trilogy and the Back to the Future films can get a little confusing if you don’t pay attention (which is where a lot of the supposed plot holes come from, the lack of attention). ![]()
