History YMMV / Marty

** Marty's absolute resignation to his fate at the start of the film is pretty heartbreaking to see. Particularly [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktXm7CRXbsE when he explodes at his mother at the dinner table]] when she suggests that he should go to the Stardust Ballroom to meet a girl. You could tell the poor guy had already gone through a ''lot'' of rejection.

** The idea that Clara having been college educated meant she was "one step from the street". Yeah, [[SarcasmMode as if a woman having a job is such a]] ''[[SarcasmMode terrible]]'' [[SarcasmMode thing for her]].

...Ma, leave me alone. Ma, whaddaya want from me? Whaddaya want from me? I'm miserable enough as it is! Alright, so I'll go to the Stardust Ballroom, I'll put on a blue suit, and I'll go. And you know what I'm gonna get for my trouble? ''Heartache!'' A big night of ''heartache!'' (long {{beat}}) [[IronicEcho Loaded with tomatoes]]... [[SarcasmMode that's]] ''[[SarcasmMode rich]]''!

--->'''Marty''': Ma, sooner or later, there comes a point in a man's life when he's gotta face some facts. And one fact I gotta face is that, whatever it is that women like, I ain't got it. I chased after enough girls in my life. I-I went to enough dances. I got hurt enough. I don't wanna get hurt no more. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3bTMw3bb5o I just called up a girl this afternoon, and I got a real brush-off]], boy! I figured I was past the point of being hurt, but that hurt. Some stupid woman who I didn't even want to call up. She gave me the brush. No, Ma, I don't wanna go to Stardust Ballroom because all that ever happened to me there was girls made me feel like I was a-a-a bug. [[DidYouThinkICantFeel I got feelings, you know]]. I-I had enough pain. No thanks, Ma!\\

HoYay: Angie seems more than a little jealous of Marty hitting it off with Clara. Angie and Marty's other pals don't seem too keen on losing Marty to Clara either, although all of this may fall under BrosBeforeHoes.
