was the big dumb bully in “Back to the Future.” He made himself feel important by calling other people names, like “Butthead.” And bullying them for pleasure and personal gain.“I can’t believe you’d loan me your car without telling me it had a blind spot. I could’ve been killed!”“Blind spot? Now, now, Biff, now I never noticed that the car had any blind spot before when I would drive it.”.Biff was awful. His greed sank Hill Valley into a hellhole.
I’d like to think that even in the ‘80s, before nerds became so cool and rich they turned into Stan Gables, America believed pompous, unscrupulous, silver-spooned bullies eventually should get a comeuppance. DespiteDisney’s “Beauty and the Beast”Gaston, from that 1991 classic, was a rich, handsome, beefy, preening guy, seen by a lot of townspeople as a strong man and a hero. He was hardly a villain to be feared at first. Just a clownish conceited brute with an unhealthy infatuation with himself.
But infatuation turned to obsession, and before long it was clear Gaston saw Belle only as a prize to take. He tossed her dad into an asylum, and continued his conquest. Hey, he was famous in that town, after all, and figured he could just grab her by the celluloidWe used to hate guys like that. America could agree. Those who use power and intimidation and force to get their way. Those who belittle and call names and treat people as stuff to be collected.
Nobody proved it more than George McFly, as he opened the car door outside that high school dance, inadvertently stopping Biff’s assault on his future wife, Lorraine“Why don’t you walk away, McFly and leave the two of us alone.”“Are you dumb, McFly? I said close the door and walk away!”Biff gets out of the car and twists George’s arm until he starts to moan. Lorraine screams for Biff to let George go. Biff grabs her, shoves her to the ground and laughs, as is his way.
He is unaware that George has begun to shake with rage. His fist shakes, and somehow, some way this timid fellow finds the strength to throw one punch at his bully. He connects, and knocks Biff out. He turns to Lorraine, the love of his life.John Archibald is a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner.
