The movie I have selected about “Popular Science” is Back to the Future. The kind of science that is involved with this movie is time travel, which is a fictional science. The character “Doc Emmitt Brown” (Christopher Lloyd) invented the Delorean. The movie took place in the year 1985. Doc Brown traveled with “Marty Mcfly” (Michael J. Fox). They traveled into the past and the future. I definitely believe that time travel is more attractive to an audience. It is something I do believe, we all wish we could travel through the course of time.
Time travel does give me a sense of awe. It is extremely appealing to me. It definitely inspires me, but at the same time, it does threaten me a little bit. If I could travel through time, I could see myself 20 or 30 years from now.It definitely is intriguing. I would be able to revisit my childhood, and my parents’ childhood. I would be able to see how they were as kids. It would threaten me because I might not like what I see in 20 to 30 years.
I think my response to my “imaginative” science (time travel) is typical. There are so many possibilities. I believe many people in the United States would have the same reaction. They might want to travel through time for other reasons, but the mentality would be the same. Some imaginative portrayals of science might succeed because the visual effects are attractive and intriguing to people. It would peak their interests. But, at the same time, it may fail because the imaginative portrayal of science may not appeal to people. They may not understand what they are looking at.Serious science may be harder to sell to audiences because many people might not be able understand it, but with science fiction, it may be easier to show how exciting it is on tv compared to reading it in a book or a description in a museum. Science is exciting to the public and there is no limit to how popular science can be.
