Matthew Broderick, Jon Cryer, Macaulay Culkin, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy pay tribute to the late filmmaker John Hughes at the 82nd Academy Awards® .
Victoria Odegaard No, I am not a troll, you are being an ignorant aficionado, that's not an insult, I'm merely making a criticism so please don't be offended. My statement regarding John Hughes' later career is referring to all his involvement in the film industry after 1990, I won't deny that the man was talented but after Home Alone he seemed to loose focus on creativity and innovation in film making that he was well known for, I still find it hard to believe that the genius who brought us such cinematic greats like The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles and Ferris Bueller is also responsible for cinematic garbage like Beethoven, Home Alone 3, 101 Dalmatians and Flubber.
well... ur writing the same reply for multiple comments making you a troll. Keep your opinions from ruining other people's comments. I happen to feel that some of the later movies he directed weren't as... profound as his earlier stuff but this is all opinion and you shouldn't be shoving your ideas in other people's faces.
Victoria Odegaard Saying the same thing to a few comments that are saying the same thing isn't trolling, trolling is posting offensive and/or off topic messages online with intent on provoking an emotional response. What I'm saying in my post is a statement of fact not opinion, and it's intended to be informative not offensive. John Hughes was known for being creative and innovative but later in his career he began hastily phoning in movies in favor of personal gain, that is called selling out.
Well said.........or rear view mirrors for those of us who were lucky to be there...either way he captured that period on film perfectly. I hope every generation watches and enjoys his work
RockRobster71 Well I think his movies are about more than a generation. I think they capture human beings as who we are and who we could be and I hope every generation will be able to see that reflection when they watch a John Hughes movie.
Funny how a man who was in his 30s understood the teenage mind of the 1980s so well. RIP Mr. Hughes and thanks for making those years so much more fun!
Hope I can be half as good as he is considering where teenagers are now compared to where my generation was after he was done writing Teen Comedies after Pretty In Pink. Then he wrote Uncle Buck and Home Alone 1 and 2.
@Andy UGoonie Teens are different from one generation to another, and that gap is getting even bigger in the last 10 years because of technology and how that is changing us.
@@_luisespinosa_ Nah I don't think so. That's why his movies are timeless. The same emotions, feelings and worries are in every generation of young people. It might be hard to see it but in certain ways you can still see John's characters in kids in high school today.
Respectfully all of that occurs today and worse. At least technology didn't have everyone's heads up their asses in the 80's and people really appreciated the little things.
3:08 "You're only 18 years old--" "And then I'm 19, and then I'm 20! when does my life belong to me?!?!" John Hughes was able to speak to something inside everyone, in a way that I haven't seen matched today. His work really was brilliant.
Mine too. I didn't see it until I was about to start my senior year. I was inspired to watch it by a homework studies class I took and it allowed me to be a part of a similar scenario.
Everyone always talks about Martin Scorcese, Spielberg, James Cameron, Oliver Stone, Woody Allen, but if I had to watch only one movie writer/director's work for the rest of my life, it would be that of John Hughes.
Matt Thornton never will. I’m not from the 80s, but my dad raised me on his films. Ferris Bueller is one of the first films I remember watching at five years old. The Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink, Home Alone, Planes, Trains and Automobiles too along with many more.
Best movies he ever made: almost all of them they just featured. Sixteen candles, Ferris Buller, Home alone, Planes Trains and Automobile, The Breakfast Club, Mr. Mom. Almost every movie John Hughes touched, was gold. He is missed every year.
Regardless of your personal opinion of John Hughes' movies, you have to agree that he was an undeniably talented man, whose films impacted an entire generation. And based on the descriptions of these actors, he sounds like an incredibly respectable man. Rest In Peace John, we won't forget about you.
@@stevem2323 this guys movies were bigger than the US. As a kid raised in west africa, his are really the only ones i can remembering watching as a child. Also helped to learn english!
"When you grow up your heart dies" A child sees the world and the things around them as a new adventure. They're innocent and naive to where they don't know any better. As a person matures into a teenager/young adult they're becoming more exposed to the "real" world. The expectations of society during those years pressured teens into being perfect adults and people thus causing them to sometimes grow resentful. Once they've become an adult they don't have that innocence they once did as a little kid and aren't seeing it through naïvety. They know what's finally goi on in the world and as they continue to grow they're not the child they once were thus showing that their heart in a way has died. When Bender says "who cares" it's showing that he doesn't care about growing up and losing the essence of being young and carefree. When Allison responds by saying she cares, it shows that she doesn't want to be bitter or emotionless when she's older.
He was only 59 when he passed. I'm almost 50 now having grown up with his movies. I'm reading his biography right now and it stated that despite his success, fatherhood was the most important thing in his life. He never succumbed or fit into Hollywood. John Hughes, you served your purpose and God took you Home early.❤ Thanks for all the memories.
Now in my early 50s, I can’t see clips from those 80s films without getting choked-up. I think of the carefree times with friends, feeling overwhelmed by life despite being truly fortunate, privileged kids with college ahead and promising lives. Some of those friends are gone now, from illness or accidents or other fates… loves and lives lost, but I still see them vividly in my mind’s eye, as if we’re forever young 😢 Thanks for helping keep them alive, Mr Hughes 🙏
I too have lost a very good friend that passed away years ago. that got me through the suckiest moments in my life. that man was Greg he was a funny guy. people don't always slow down and take the time to realise what matters most in life. Hearts really do not die there are many that went too soon. alright peace out.
"When you grow up your heart dies" - I agree a little, you don't feel things the way you used to feel things, it's not that you don't stop loving or are incapable of love. I think people who have been unlucky in love learn to try and not feel anything knowing that it is a setup for pain. That's the sad part of getting older, trying to protect your heart by learning to feel nothing.
Reminds me of the scene in "Home Alone 2" where Kevin is talking to the homeless lady about love and loss. He tells her that she needs to let people in, even if she gets hurt, because at least you know that your heart still works... or something to that effect.
I believe this - - but to an extent. YES, I believe as you get old your heart dies....HOWEVER, some of that is not due to evil intent, but reality. Let's face it...the heart doesn't make the mortgage payment, health insurance payment, or the heart doesn't provide better home or schools for kids. Some of the heart dying is the grind of life, where reality and practicality trump idealism and hope.
they gave him the Oscar tribute to not feel guilty about themselves for not nominating him in the past.One of the best directors of all time didn't even get an international award in his time.pity.award shows are nothing but crap
Erick Stoltz’s line makes me wanna cry. That’s exactly what I was thinking in my teenage years and now that I’m 22 it suddenly terrifies me to take control of my own life.
I just visited Chicago for first time and top of my list was to visit various locations where John Hughes filmed his many iconic movies as was customary for him to use his own hometown Illinois suburbs in his pictures. His work, I always felt, had some impacted on who I am today.
I didn't know this as his foreign fan. I really want to visit there someday with my son and I definitely will. Thank you for your comment and have a good day. 👍
Am I the only one feels that Uncle Buck is really underrated. It's a really light hearted and hilarious movie that can be enjoyed with your family over holidays or any time of the year actually ❣️
I had the pleasure of meeting him once in a bookstore close to his home in 1987 and he took 15 minutes out of his time to talk to me about film making ( I was a film student at Columbia at the time). he told me he had never been on a movie set before Sixteen Candles and didn't know the first thing about directing. But he still gave me the BEST piece of advice I think I've ever gotten. He told me " Don't get bogged down in the technicalities of film making, rely on the experience of your crew for that. Focus instead on your story and characters because a film might be poorly shot but if it's nicely written and the audience wont know and better still, won't care".... R.I.P John....
Anyone else other than me realised that this is probably one of the VERY few Oscar videos that actually show clips from movies? Anyways, John, you were, are and always will be the icon for youth movies, RIP.
Wow Molly looks great. I'm 48 now so I grew up at the perfect time for all those 80's movies to fully appreciate them. Still glued to the tube when they come on periodically. Good times...
I love that Anthony Michael Hall and Judd Nelson help Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy off the step at the end. RIP and thank you, John Hughes, the greatest filmmaker ever.
Im still crying. I love this man and the characters he created. Maybe because of him i survived childhood. Whenever i felt left out, I know theres a song to a JH script that understands. What a special man.
John Hughes took all of the ordinary things about life in the 80's for teenagers and expressed them through memorable films like, "The Breakfast Club", "Sixteen Candles", and "Pretty in Pink". Many of his other films were great too, but I will always remember the ones that focused on being a teenager and trying to figure out where you fit in society and where you will end up. The music in his movies is a big part of the soundtrack of my life as a teenager in the 80's. RIP, John.
I really enjoyed watching this tribute to a legendary, and profound director such as John Hughes. I was fortunate enough to grow up in the 80s and have seen a good amount of his work on screen. His films have undoubtedly left their mark on moviegoers then. We still value this man's work even to this day. RIP John Hughes. Thanks for sharing your talents and gifts with the world. You will never be forgotten. 🙏❤️
Thank you John. Your movies made my teenage years much more happy. Your legacy still impact all over the world. Thanks again and R.I.P From your huge fan in South Korea.
The really big question in my life is and always will be, “when you become an adult, why does your life suddenly get less interesting, more stressful, and less exciting?”
Didn't know John Hughes died...in 2009 I was working abroad and didn't have time to keep in touch wit the States daily events. RIP thanks for the GREAT MEMORIES 🇺🇲🫡
John Hughes was the BEST of the best. Breakfast Club was my fav movie from the 1st moment I seen it until now (as well as Pretty In Pink, Sixteen Candles, etc...etc), at the age of 42! I know I was not the only teen who felt that he made his movies w/each of us in mind, and helped us all from that era - by letting us know we were not alone as we felt. I have made it a point to introduce his films to my own children so his legacy will live on. RIP Mr. Hughes & thank you!
I feel like a total baby, but I'm kind of teary up, especially when Macaulay Culkin said his little bit because he looked emotional too. John Hughes will be greatly missed.
When I think of John Hughes, I think of the Popular NAGEL prints of the 80's, I don't know why, other than they both were staples of that decade to me. RIP Mr. Hughes and thank you for blessing us all with your talent.
I think this was one of the most beautiful tributes to ever be created. I wasn't a teen in the 80's and neither were a lot of the people I know, but I can't name one person that I have ever met in my whole 19 years of existence that hasn't seen or been influenced by at least one of his movies. They were at the time and will remain some of the best movies I have ever had the privilege of seeing :)
I rewatched Ferris Bueller's Day Off for the first time in a very long time and immediately felt like a teenager again. It's amazing how any kind of art, John Hughes', can show you your youth is still there.
Valentina 19373 So would Mine but in particular my high school years. But it's five years too late since I graduated. When he died eight years ago, I was about to start my sophomore year.
I believe Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Planes, Trains and Automobiles are John Hughes' two masterpieces. The comedy and the drama is equally strong in each of those movies, with totally hilarious moments as well as deeply touching ones. They both have the most original, inspired, signature style out of all of his movies.
John Hughes movies helped me be ok in my skin. Showed me being a nerd was still cool. Aspire to love unconditionally. And laugh and take a look around so that life doesn't pass me by!! Thank you John, for making the 80s the best decade of my life!!
It`s 2023, I`m a man and grandfather now at 54 years old......the line from Allison (Ally Sheedy) "When you grow up your heart dies" had such an impact on me. I swore I would never allow it to happen. Sadly it just did, I was so much happier feeling miserable in the 80s. Rest In Peace John Hughes.
Watching all the different movies he made and hearing the lines in the montage gave me chills ."when you get old your heart just dies ." Bender "Who cares." SHe responds "I care." beautiful .
A lot of these movies are amongst my absolute fave of all time. I think me being born in 88' and after 30+ years they were made, that says a lot. He was a fantastic writer who understood teenagers like I've never seen any other director do, his stories are timeless and every generation has been and will continue to be able to identify with them. I was so glad to see part of the Brat Pack, Mathew and Macaulay there.
One of the greatest directors of all time!He proved that you don't need a complicated CGI graphics or high end special effects to make great movies!A great storyline with an equally great humor,that's his trademark!What a great lost. R.I.P.John.You'll never be forgotten.
John Hughes movies were so important to so many people growing up in the 80's and early 90's. I love his films just because if you just happened upon a film with no idea what that movie was that within a few minutes you could tell if it was a John Hughes movie or not. He was that Signature of a director and writer. RIP John...
Most of the movies that he directed or wrote were fantastic and will be remembered for decades to come like The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Home Alone, Pretty In Pink and Planes, Trains and Automobiles. He also has some underrated gems like Sixteen Candles and Some Kind Of Wonderful to his name. He is an amazing writer, producer amd director and people who are looking to make a start in the film industry should see much of his work.
I'm watching this now 14 years later, and I have to say it's an awesome tribute to a man who made so many iconic films that captured the essence of the coming of age stories. John Hughes was truly one of a kind. RIP 🙏
John Hughes was a gifted filmmaker whose' work has stood the test of time, and they always will. Thank you, John. Your impact on the world through film is truly unique. We'll always miss the further amazing work you might have done - and thank you for the ways you touched my childhood...
