@@clintonnagy1662 You do know that the narrator is an AI voice reading a ChatGPT type script. I’m not sure how the visuals are done, but they certainly reuse the same photos over and over. Anytime you hear that voice, remember it’s not real!
Wait a minute. The voice sounds so realistic because its an AI version of an actual person's voice? Not a robotic generic synthesized voice? And it's too realistic. Not to.
Whenever I get burned, once, with a blatant click-bait title, I never watch anything from that channel again. If we all adopt this policy maybe someday they'll get the message.
@@lilacDaisy111 same applies for any western country at the moment.... you live in the uk? if so hope you're enjoying the current 'situation'. the progression will be to 'californicate' the nations then 'uk' the nations and then ultimately end up like south africa. international enough for you?
I stand behind this as i did as a kid. The fist bump/raise to the sky was a perfect ending. The relationships that might have blossomed in that time frame did not need a resolve. Kept us kids feeling like we watched "life in real time." Another day of high school.
@@janetduncan87 they'll never do a sequel because the movie is to perfect and the original cast doesn't want a sequel because that was there finest movie they ever made!
I agree, a sequel or remake, would be a very bad idea. However I would like Hughes (if he is still alive) to write a paragraph or two briefly describing about each character, where are they now. Not filmed, only in writing, and in brief. I think that would be cool.
What about a black or otherwise not white people version? I loved The Wiz. Why didn't that movie start this trend? But yeah, just leave it alone. If a remake was done today, it would have alternative gender students in it. That isn't necessarily a bad idea as lomg as its done the right way for the right reasons. But Hollywood doesn't do things the right way for the right reasons anymore. They're all about woke. So yeah, just leave it alone, at least until Hollywood regains its sanity and artistic instinct.
From what I've heard, the alternate ending was a scene of them on Monday morning with their respective friends/groups; they see each other across the hall(?) and nod, leaving it up to the audience to conclude whether or not they were actually going to talk to each other, or if that was going to be as far as they went. Apparently, only Hughes had a copy of that. The supposed alternate endings mentioned in this clip were all used; Claire and Bender did share a kiss out in the parking lot (as well as a deleted one in the closet), as did Andrew and Allison, before Bender's fist pump. P.S. When did the group take the fall for Bender's weed? They were somehow never found out.
Hughs was brilliant and the actors really did their job. I was only a year out of high school, and I really felt like I was back. GREAT movie! I totally had teachers like Vernon. I guess you needed to be a kid to see it.
"5 teenagers." Well... Emile Estevez and Ally Sheedy were 23 at the time, and Judd Nelson was 25! Molly R. & Tony Hall were 17, so there were only two who were still teens. The other 3 weren't even close!!
makes it hard to believe that there weren't enough actors closer to the characters ages' available. hard to say. still wondering how nicolas cage would have done in the bender role. he was great in the movie valley girl.
When I graduated in 1989 I walked out and the very first thing I did was the John Bender first bump as high in the air as I could and several of my classmates did the same thing and we stood together and said in one shot THE BREAKFAST CLUB
That's the story, but there was some interview where he said he considered a sequel briefly, but felt he wouldn't be able to capture that magic a second time so he decided to leave it as is.
Hughes filmed a totally unnecessary fully nude scene of a young, female teacher swimming naked while Vernon spied on her. Molly Ringwald convinced him to cut it. Thank God.
The reason Hughes had issues with Nelson was because of his method acting, he was being a jerk to everyone even when not filming. I think it was Gleason that vouched for him and got Hughes to let him stay
To be fair, it was capitalized in the subtitles. If it was that way in the script the AI read, it was the appropriate reading. That said, where's the effing editor who should have corrected it?
@realSamAndrew stfu,it was implied. It is clickbait bullshit. Take your kamala voting ass elsewhere... and I say that because only a blue voter would say such stupid shit.
I enjoyed watching this video but some of the information is inaccurate. For example, the movie did end up being released with an R rating, for strong language including multiple F-bombs, not a PG-13. My only other gripe is the multiple endings were barely mentioned. Very misleading thumbnail.
I grew up in the 80s just like in the movie…Class of ‘87! It’s One of the greatest movies ever! I never knew that in my adult life …my best friend, would actually be Ally Sheedy’s cousin…Paul B. Thankful for that connection!!!👏💯
I graduated in 1985. This film hit home. But it was Allie who said, “When you grow up your heart dies.” And Judd Nelson, as Bender, was 26 playing a 16 year old. Repeating comments… Lazy A.I.?
It just blows my mind that kids today find this movie to be as relevant today as it was 50 years ago. Sure, there are some differences. A kid takes a gun to school these days (even a flare gun) and he's not getting detention, he's getting arrested. You know recently a kid got in trouble and they called the police because a teacher decided his half eaten sandwich vaguely resembled a gun. I think it more likely the kid wasn't worried about the shape of his sandwich. He was hungry.
Man, Hughes nailed how it was in highschool at the time. I was a sophomore when this came out. We all did these stupid things. Life is one big high school, really. People rarely change when they grow up, so they grow up the same way, with the same type of people and clique'ing up.
Before The Breakfast Club, Rebel Without a Cause (1955) showed that the 50s weren't all Happy Days and Back to the Future. Teen struggles were always universal, even if the culture was different. And James Dean was such a GREAT actor, real shame we lost him too soon.
It is really not an alternative ending but more about the turmoil when the film was made. Chaning the casting of different characters. So, the cast members were changed from original consideration. Dentation drama unleashed. In Chicago, in an abandoned school, that was cold and pressure ridden with only 32 days to film it. Improving the script did not help matters. Made for only $1 million the studio left everyone alone, including one take for many scenes. Making just over $50 million it was a huge financial success. The only alternative endings were a kiss between characters (not used) and other romantic endings (not used) they went with the fist pump instead. So sure, they had other endings but they picked the right one (mostly improvised).
Allison’s neurodivergent quirks were a problem? Which psychologists actually said something back in the 80’s? Teen neurodivergence wasn’t a thing that was openly discussed until mid to late 90’s.
@@OG.Mikentosh the tv version, yes. But, it definitely came out in the theaters in 1985 as rated R. I couldn’t see it in the theaters because it was R rated
In my middle school, we had around 12 kids who volunteered for a group “rap group” or group mental therapy session/ talk club. It was not assigned a specific day or time, so I would miss out 1 hour of class that was randomized. We sat in an empty classroom, with a licensed psychologist, and one or two student psychologist. We talk about our struggles, things we had learned or observed, and each of us took turns to briefly comment. It was soul stirring. Some kids cried. We all learned something. “Breakfast Club” couldn’t hold a candle to this.
I don't understand the group taking the fall for John's (Benders)pot bust, he never gets caught with it. He just gets asked by Vernon, "what if your dope was on fire"? Which Bender replies, " impossible sir it's in Johnson's underware" but they never get caught in my DVD version of that great iconic film. And Bender also gives Bart Simpson his most famous line, of " eat my shorts" I love all John Hughes films he may have been sleeping with his stars, but he was definitely a great writer/director of films. You notice I said "may" I don't know for positive but if you watch the commentary on Ferris Bueller's day off. The guy who steals the Porsche hints too it in his interview. That the two girl stars was in his hotel room with him when he shows up to cast for the garage attendent. Consensual relationships has never bothered me as long as their of age, well relatively of age, basically their not children under an age where they can make adult decisions. Like with the pot scene. Hell I was 14 when this movie came out And I had been smoking marijuana since I was 9 so 🖕🏻 the advocacy groups pot IS NOT DEADLY, OTHER GOVERNMENT MADE DRUGS ARE. Douchebags 😠
I am not advocating for a 45th high school reunion sequel... probably best left alone... but I am imagining all the club members decades down the road from their detention day.
This movie's impact continues to this very day. Think about this for a moment. That film came out in 1985, and its 2024 and we still are talking about it almost 40 years later. I hope Hollywood leaves this film alone and does not try to remake it. I think any remake given how Hollywood has become so toxic politically a remake would ruin the legacy of this film. Unlike Hugh's who was a brilliant storyteller, these writers of today lack any real creativity or talent which is why we keep seeing so many reboots, and remakes of classic films. Instead of coming up with their own groundbreaking movies, they all piggyback off the talented writers and story tellers of yesteryear. This film should never be given any type of reboot or sequel, but instead should honor the legacy of John Hughes and let his creative vision be as he intended which has stood the test of time.
I graduated in '83 and I never understood this movie until years later. I went to a small school (28 in my graduating class) There weren't any "jocks, nerds, or whatever". Most of us were friends and not looked down upon because you did this or didn't do that.
The video included a lot of things, that I didn't know. The genius of the film was the fact that there was no real conclusion. Therefore, we will debating these issues of class, isolation & teenage issues forever. Brilliant. People need this. It can help society.
The cold building explains why they keep thier coat or multiple layers on for most of the movie. All the actors were cold until later in the day when the building probably warmed up al ittle
Clickbait. No alternate ending. And it was Allison who said that when you grow up your heart dies. I'm clicking 'do not show channel' I hate titles that don't deliver what they claim.
This came out when I was a senior at UW Madison and was too busy trying to graduate. Im just barely too old to have had this on my radar. I should watch it I guess.
HBO in the 80s depending the time of day the movie aired there was scenes cut short and i remember watching it once late night and Judd Nelson fell from a different part of the ceiling when he fell
I’ve had in school detention, they suck, I’ve had out of school suspension, they are good, but I’ve never had a Saturday suspension. Mid 80s was a thing? Like how do you convince a teacher to come in on the weekend?
FANTASTIC MOVIE I'VE WATCHED THIS MOVIE MANY TIMES FROM WHEN IT WAS RELEASED TO NOW WHAT IT DID FOR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OVER THE TIME - IT HELPED MANY OF MY FRIENDS AND OTHER KIDS THROUGH PAINFUL PROBLEMS BRINGING THEM TO HEALING THEMSELVES GETTING AWAY FROM THINGS LIKE GANGS, DRUGS, ETC. TO A MUCH BETTER LIFE AND ALL GOOD THINGS HAPPENED TO THEM BECAUSE OF THE BREAKFAST CLUB MOVIE - AN HELPED ME REMAIN A GOOD YOUNG MAN FROM THEN TO A GOOD MAN STILL TO THIS DAY, EXCELLENT
Benders moment with the principle … loved it. I sometimes will hear ole what did Clair and Bender do in the office . My answer none of the audiences business. I think they had a sweet kiss an talked. The breakfast club is a classic it is American culture reflective of teenage issues especially the highlights of mental health and the changing world of American culture. The impact of tapping into teens and tweens was a sure revelation of a new avenue not appreciated. They had loyalty moments, raw emotional battles of their families and lives. They were friends. Budding romances. Quiet brillance how they played and understood each other yet held their own in defending their temples and courtyards. It would be interesting if all of them did walk down the school corridor together. But walking out together was beautiful
Not sure why a R rating would be death to a movie. During the 80s they had toys marketed to kids for R movies. Terminator, Predator, commando etc all had them. Plus this video is wrong breakfast club was rated R not pg 13
This is one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time. I hadn’t realized that it was only John H. 2nd movie!! We lost a great writer and director way too soon. I wish Emilio would have done more movies. He’s a great, albeit, underrated actor!!
I had a breakfast club moment … we were on the bus in 10th grade we all new each other since kindergarten. We all got into a weird conversation which kid had it the hardest middle, oldest, youngest. Then there was this quiet sweet moment like the breakfast club … it was awesome I wish I could have recorded it … it was a nice moment
I remember back when I was a kid in the 80s not quite a teen I overheard a lot of talk about the breakfast club from the younger, mid and older teens in different social groups of that generation that where around back then such as stoners, jocks, gamers, skaters, punk rockers, breakers, bangers, and nurds I always herd the movie being mentioned and talked about hear and there I always herd good things about it not knowing what the movie was actually about not ever having seen it for myself and also even reading articles about it years latter in the news paper's and magazines in the late 90s and 2000s and hearing this movie still being talked about till this day as one of the best classic films of all time. I personally got the idea in my head that the breakfast club was another over the top type of teen movie full of partying and wild situations of crazy teen activity's of a wild teenage life and so I finally got around to watching it for the first time about a couple of years back on Netflix and it was nothing like I expected it to be and I do think this movie definitely lived up to all the hype that I herd about over the years I thought it was a really good film over all.
When I read the alternate ending of Pretty in Pink, and the preview screening they did with an audience of girls age 13 to 17, and the girls ALL HATED the ending, and they were really upset that she selected Duckie, rejecting the rich jerk, made me lose hope in our species. That all the teen girls wanted , and would, choose the bad boy, was very depressing and made me think " what is wrong with the female brain ? " Having served a Saturday morning detention the same time this movie came out, and the way kids now, especially in the inner cities, ignore authority and don't buy into school being important, it is so telling about how society was conditioned to buy the " American Dream" lie back in the 80s. Today, kids know that school means nothing and will have no impact or improve their lives. Knowing this, they know that there is nothing that the school can do to them if they don't follow the rules. They don't show up for Saturday morning detention. Thinking about it now, If I knew then what I know now, I would have not shown up to Saturday morning detention, and if they suspended me, so what ? One of the biggest lies and stupid things about high school was Social Studies. That you needed 4 years of history of America that was mostly lies, is truly stupid. And you never use anything you learn in social studies. If I knew back in 1985 that I could have taken the GED and been done with high school and start college, I would have taken it and faxed the results of the test to the principal with a note " I won't be in, ever again, thanks for nothing " It is so evident that the kids now know that you don't need high school for anything, any job isn't going to need it, or ask if you graduated high school, and many inner city kids stop going to school after 5th grade. It is amazing how they just stop going to school and their parents know it is all pointless, and they don't listen to the school BS It is a different America The change from 1985 to 2005 was dramatic, but the 40 years, it is night and day
The article about the Brat Pack came out in June of 1985. The Breakfast Club premiered in February of that year so there was no tension or anger about the article on the set.
That whole library was hand built from scratch in the highschool's gymnasium. It was also the same school as seen in 16 Candles and Farris Bueler's Day Off😊
If you think anything in this film was ad libbed you don't know film. Wasting time on non-scripted dialogue or even someone going off camera would throw the whole schedule completely off, not to mention the cameras, sound and lighting. Of course, had they included some background information on the characters they might have gotten passed the stereotypes that they were playing. And never forget the make over of Ally Sheedy....that was so original.
