This same lack of awareness about a touchy subject plays out in the supposedly iconic scene where Marty takes the stage with a group of black musicians and a white high school. Of course, we know that small-town white folks in 1955 would never allow this to happen, and the room for social commentary between the decades is left empty. For me it's less about "lack of social commentary" and more that it breaks immersion or the feeling that we're actually in the 50s. There are a lot of things strewn throughout the film in the past that are basically things that feel straight out of the 80s. Something like this may come off as nitpicky to you but for me it's what keeps the movie from being legit really fun and unique and basically just makes it an above average generic 80s comedy. Generic 80s comedies aren't exactly my cup of tea. Gun to my head I still like the movie. But it could be a lot better. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! ...
