Would have been nice, if there was some closure as to the possible
living arrangements for both Marty's mother and his Aunt Catherine.
Though I love the movie, it was obvious that when Marty and Clara married,
the newlyweds would be moving to a smaller place, "a nice little apartment across town".
Yes, I would have liked to see more on how Marty's Mother, Theresa and his Aunt Catherine were going to get along living together.
I think Theresa had a sweeter disposition, than Catherine. Of course, being moved out of her house might have had something to do with her general attitude.
Also, it would have been very difficult for Clara and Marty to try to start their life together with both his mother and aunt living with them.
marty would have moved out of the house but he wouldn't have sold it; the worries of his mother and aunt are really all for nought because they have each other. I am sure that all the major payments in the house have been made and marty is a nice guy he'd visit them. Besides the women are still in their fifties, hardly helpless old ladies yet.
shareI was shocked when the aunt said she was only 56. I was assuming she was 80. Hell, she was only six years older than I am now.

Fifty is the new 30 today.
shareMarty's mom was very intuitive, and I think she was going to manage fine.
She'll take care of her sister too.
They'd probally end up at all night church bingo games.

When the aunt said she was 56, I was shocked. I have sisters who are 54 and 57, respectively, and they're still so young and vital. Neither of them really gives a damn whether they ever cook or clean for anyone again. They don't really feel like it.
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked.
The mores of the 1950's was quite different than today's.Women stayed home had kids,as children grew up women were no longer useful,maybe only after they became grandmas,women were again appreciated.When women became a vital working force that's when we were and are noticed.I think when people are out and working they are perceived differently;after all how can you hold a job if you're seen as old and incapable?
shareThey would have made great foster mothers.
shareI think Marty bought the butcher shop, started the grocery collective, succeeded financially, moved to a nice smaller place with Clara after they were married, and his mother and aunt lived on in the big house for a few more decades (they were only in their fifties). Marty dropped by frequently to check on them and help out.
shareThe mother ( Marty's ) was too much for Hollywood. What a manipulative schemer. She pesters/nags him incessantly about getting married, push push pushes him to get himself out there. Then her son meets a nice woman and they really hit it off, so what does she do?
The reality of "losing" Marty ( rather than "gaining" a daughter ) freaks her out and she's out to sabotage the budding relationship. Pulling manufactured excuse after excuse out of her benighted head ( as well as lifting the nonsense one form her sister, word for word ). College girl. She's not Italian. She's not from the neighborhood. If it weren't any of those, she'd pull others out of her ass.
