The racial dualism is striking, but the plot holes are numerous and after 20 years, I can no longer suspend my disbelieve. I would also like to restate that I loved this movie so, so much when I was younger and my defination of cool was so wrapped up in both Marty McFly and Alex Keaton that I am now trying to distance myself from his Reaganite lameness.<br/>In regards to Ms. Happenstance, I'm sure she'll land on her feet, but I do worry about her hippie-nerd fans?
