It never fails to astound me how so many people misunderstand Allison. At the end, she isn't getting a makeover to impress Andrew, she's allowing her true self to be uncovered. She feels ignored and hides behind baggy clothes and the " weird" persona, but that shirt is what she's wearing underneath. That headband was in HER bag. It symbolizes removing her protective armor and showing her true self.

@reconsoldier135 Год назад

You have to remember when Brian gets freaked out by Bender having weed this was the mid 80’s when people still went to prison for years just for possession

@chrisd7047 Год назад

"Eat my shorts!" - Bart Simpson made the phrase famous, but John Bender said it first. Also, Bender in Futurama is a petty criminal just like Bender in The Breakfast Club. I guess Matt Groening had some influence from The Breakfast Club.

@jmhaces Год назад

For some reason, I've always really liked that Bender says bye to Carl the Janitor and they seem to get along pretty well and like each other. It's a throwaway line, but it gives both of them an additional bit of depth, especially given Carl's conversation with Vernon about how he sucks and the kids don't like him or respect him.

@butkusfan23 Год назад

I love the way Carl smiles and gives a friendly “you bet” when John says he will see him next Saturday. And the smart way he says “I wouldn’t count on it” when the teacher says “these kids are gonna take care of me.” Fantastic.

@robmarconi6758 Год назад

I always got the feeling Carl was Bender's future

@dr.burtgummerfan439 Год назад

I like how Bender smiles when Carl tells them that the clock is 20 minutes fast. Like he respects the burn.

@pantlessreactions Год назад

I think the IMDB trivia sheds more light on Carl... IIRC, one of the scholastic awards seen at the beginning montage of the movie was Carl's.

@Billinois78 Год назад

I don't know whether you know the song "Changes" by David Bowie, but that was the origin of the quote you see in the beginning of the movie. "I watch the ripples change their size But never leave the stream of warm impermanence, and So the days float through my eyes But still the days seem the same And these children that you spit on As they try to change their worlds Are immune to your consultations They're quite aware of what they're going through Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes""

@duane8829 Год назад

The final scene in the library the actors were not given a script. The director told them they knew their characters well enough to ad lib the scene.

@philstubblefield Год назад

There are so many fabulous scenes in this movie, but my eyes always tear up when Allison says of her parents: "They ignore me." It's a passive form of abuse, but abuse nonetheless. 😢

@Logan_Baron Год назад

Very much so. I remember every horrible scenerio running through my head, and "Ignore" COULD seem so much lighter, but partly from the way she embodies and delivers that line, you can see how major that can actually be. Presented any other way, it could be shrugged off, but it still gives me a lump in my throat every time.

@Bekka_Noyb Год назад

always wonder if movie was done 10 years later, if the reason would be darker?

@jmhaces Год назад

It also makes the first scene when they all get to school even more brilliant because Claire, Brian and Andrew each have a little interaction with their parent to establish the kind of relationship they have, whereas we never see Allison's parent and they drive off when she's barely out of the car without saying goodbye despite the fact that she later confesses she didn't even have detention. Her parents don't care and will give her the least amount of attention possible. And Bender, well, he just walks up to the school on his own, no parent in sight.

@philstubblefield Год назад

@@jmhaces Agreed! It even looks like Allison is leaning down to the car's window in an attempt to say goodbye when her parent drives off without a word. Tragic! Of course, the fact that her parents drive one of those butt-ugly Cadillacs with the squared-off trunk explains a lot... 😂

These 5 actors were members of the '80s Brat Pack, sometimes they'd appear in pairs in other movies. A cult classic film starring Emilio Estevez (Andrew) is the 1984 "Repo Man". Very much worth checking out, break away from just doing the popular movies.

Going from jr. high to high school (9th grade) I lost most of my female friends that I grew up with around my neighborhood that even up thru 8th grade we hung out regularly. I still remember waving to one of them day one in the hallway feeling excited about being in the new high school and wanting to talk but she had new friends with her. We made eye contact and she walked on by, not even looking back. That was my last interaction with her.

@landisix9709 Год назад

Fun fact; The original library in this school was way too small to film this movie. So with the help of locally donated books…they transformed the gym into the library. You can really sense it’s a gym with the running track on the second level.

Addie, just keep in mind that these 5 basically represented the major groups of the 80s/90s and even into the very early 2000s. Brian = Nerd Bender = Outcast Andrew = Jock Allison = Basket Case ( or early Emo, depending on how you look at it.) Claire = Prep The 21 Jump Street movie does a fantastic look at this and how they thought they "Knew" the social classes, until they had to infiltrate the High School as teens, and realized the Social Structure had pretty much doubled/tripled in class types by the 2010s - and later.

I saw this movie back in '85 in the theater, when I was in high school. It was the first time I saw myself and my classmates depicted on the big screen. Each of these characters was a part of myself or someone I knew, and it was the zeitgeist. There was much turbulence in my life, both in school and at home at the time, and this movie captured my life at that moment better than any film before or since. It was as if someone shadowed me and my classmates, picked up on our lingo, our problems, our secret desires and fears, and crafted it into a screenplay. I'm 55 now, and I still consider this one of my all-time favorite movies.

I'm with you about really enjoying the character of Brian as the movie unfolds, but by the end it has to be Allie Sheedy that is my hands down favorite. When she delivers the line in response to Bender asking who cares if our hearts die when we get old with the simple line, "I care" I could cry. She's phenomenal. Side note: if you pay close attention in the beginning of the movie "Carl" was voted something like "Most Likely to Succeed", so he wasn't "Bender" when he attended school there.

Excellent reaction, Addie. The Breakfast Club (1985) is my other favorite John Hughes movie after Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986). I watched it because my girlfriend recommended it to me and I enjoyed it afterwards. She also wants me to watch Sixteen Candles (1984) & Weird Science (1985). The idea of five teens from different cliques in detention sharing their life stories that causes them to bond together and see the world around them differently afterwards is very sweet. BTW, it was also neat that you recognized the ending of the movie from having seen Pitch Perfect (2012), another Universal Pictures film. And nice editing at 11:36, that digital shake just made it better. And if you're hoping that better late than never applies to this movie, it does. It applies for this and other 80s movies that you have seen or are about to see in the future.

Not a John Hughes movie but She should watch WarGames (1983). From what videos she has reacted to she should watch Wizard of Oz (1939) and Planet of the Apes (1968) and she will have a pretty good coverage of the main things being spoofed in the Spaceballs (1987) movie. Too many reactors just see Star Wars and think Spaceballs is just a spoof of that when it covers a dozen or more movies.

Hello there. GenXer here. I was 13 years old when this film was released. You have no idea how important and impactful the film was on my generation. Filmmaker John Hughes touched a nerve and showed everyone what’s it like to be a teenager in the middle of Ronald Regan’s America. The 1980’s was seriously a different time than any other decade. Now I’m a 50 year old man with a kid, and when he becomes a teenager, I’ll be showing him this film and explaining to him what life was like then and how it will relates to him. The Breakfast Club has stood the test the time, and so has the soundtrack. It’s a time capsule that captures the 80’s perfectly, but it shows us how universal it is at the same time. I’m glad you enjoyed the movie.

When my dad got stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas my parents put me into private schools because they were afraid of all the gang activity in El Paso. Ironically, these church schools were where all the worst behaved kids ended up when they were kicked out of public schools. And that is where I found myself. I had never felt like I belonged with the rich, upper class children I was normally stuck with. The gang members, drug dealers, scrappers, sexually active deviants were the most genuine and caring people I had ever met. I'd always have something in common with all of them. Whether it was that we bonded over music, movies, TV shows, or food, we just got along. I never got into drugs, alcohol, fighting, or smoking. But they never even tried to get me to partake. I even asked about smoking, and they would invariably tell me it was a terrible habit they wouldn't wish on anyone. I myself wasn't Christian, but could also get along with the devout. I knew a guy that was hooked on crack, and knew it was ruining his life. I prayed with him, and he quit cold turkey. We've kept in touch, and he now is married with children with a great job, clean for over two decades now. I had a bully once sit to have lunch with me and open up about his troubled home life. We bonded over our love of metal music. I'm still not a Christian, but I'm proud of what I've done with my life. This movie reminds me of my childhood memories from private school.

That "When you grow up your heart dies" line has always stuck with me. In a certain way I've found it to be true. I certainly have gotten more numb and more of a creature of logic since I was a teenager. It's not as bad as it sounds, though, and it's not in the way that I thought at the time. I still care a lot about the injustice in the world and I still have a lot of empathy. When I was younger it was overwhelming and it made me a lot less capable of actually doing something about it. Now I can separate myself enough from emotional pain to be able to practically do something about preventing it - both for myself and for other people.

What happens on Monday would've been a great idea for a sequel.

@trhansen3244 Год назад

I think we can pretty well figure out what happened on Monday. The bonds they created that day would vanish over time. A few weeks or so. The one that might endure is the jock and the basket case. I could see that leading to a real and lasting relationship.

This movie seems to pop up inside a lot of other movies. In the movie "Bumblebee" we get a fist pump instead of a salute at the end.

I grew up down the street from the school at which this was filmed! This is one of those films that never fails to give me a feel-good sensation.

I saw this film when it was released in theaters with buddies in 1985; I was 17 ...Yes, I'm old. 😊 It was a genuinely captivating time in terms of its musical and cinematographic cultural diversity. We had the future ahead of us. We didn't think the world was going to change so much. I would hate to be 17 today; I have to admit.

You know you are a good writer when you can write a 90 minute film around only 1 location and set. That's what precisely what John Hughes was.

@Madbandit77 Год назад

Kevin Smith, a fan of Hughes, applied that skill to his first film, "Clerks".

@floretionguru2977 Год назад

@2:35 I can see an Italian watching this, hearing how Bender is supposed to look "cool" for the way he walks out in front of the car, and then thinking "I guess all Italians are cool then."

@mjkjelland13 Год назад

This movie became a ritual amongst my friends and I. Every Saturday night after the bar closed, we would head over to a buddy's house, continue to drink and watch this movie. We watched so often we all knew all the lines and would recite them while watching. To change things up, we decided to have each of us draw a character name from a hat and we would act out that character. Yes we were idiots, but we had fun.

@sithlordkaeyl21 Год назад

Brian’s dad at the end of the movie, was actually John Hughes, the director.

@woeshaling6421 Год назад

great you connected so much with it. one of the sad details is that bender would rather be in detention than at home.

@briangreen9677 Год назад

I think the thing that always surprises me is just how quickly Brian is forgotten. He's the only one who doesn't pair up at the end, yet he's the only one who brought a potential weapon to school and accidentally committed an act of arson all because he was stressed because he's failing Shop. None of his circumstances change when he walks out the doors of that school. I almost wish they'd have done what was done at the end of Stand By Me where we heard about what happened to all of the characters. What happens when the jock doesn't make it? What happens when the nerd doesn't measure up? What happens when the popular girl has to make it on her own? I don't have any Annuals to reflect on, but I'm sure you all do. What happened to the popular kids that were in your class? The sports stars? The weird kids? The kids who blended in and weren't even acknowledged? I know when I was in school and graduated in 93 that I was the smart kid everyone else copied answers off of, but was never socially accepted. Who would have thought that I'd raise my right hand and spend five years in Iraq and Afghanistan being a trigger-puller only to return to the US to do a menial job while everyone I work with has no idea what horrific things I experienced. The Breakfast Club shows us that there's idealism in hope, but odds are that on Monday they were back to their old selves again. This movie is great because we can dream that they were different and that reality didn't snap them back into their cliquish ways.

@philmullineaux5405 Год назад

Basically, as a kingpin protagonist, the only buttons he couldn't push, was Carl the janitor, because Carl was basically the chilled out grown up version, of Bender.

@sammylane21 Год назад

Is it just me or does this movie's main song, DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT ME, leave you with positive feelings and a hint of nostalgia??

@greato80 Месяц назад

They go back to their lives Monday because thats how high school is. They personally have a better underdstanding for others though and themselves. Im sure if they passed each other in school just eye contact would be enough for them to say..Hi! and keep walking. They have their own secret club in their minds to always remember that day...The Breakfast Club!

@nealhoffman7518 Год назад

If you make it through all the John Hughes movies, and a few others like American Pie, She's All That, or any other random high school movies, you should watch Not Another Teen Movie. It's a fantastic parody

@scalefree Год назад

the actor who plays Brian, Anthony Michael Hall, seriously bulked up after this, enough that he landed the role of the bully in Edward Scissorhands starring Johnny Depp. it's quite the transformation.

@entertainingCed 11 месяцев назад

met John Kapelos "Carl" at a comicon. absolutely great guy. had a great visit with him. very funny and witty. such a great cast. still such a great movie.

@daveautzen9089 Год назад

Boomer here, and I really enjoy this film. Easy to identify with all of these characters, as I knew so many of these types in high school.

@zedwpd Год назад

This movie came out a year after I graduated so this is all too real for me. The mom and sister that dropped off Bryan are his real parents. The dad that picks him up is John Hughes the director. The janitor here plays the oily beau hunk in Sixteen Candles. Mr Vernon played Mr Beaks in Trading Places with a pretty well known cast. The song they are whistling come from a fantastic movie called The Bridge Over the River Kwai (never seen any RU-vidr tackle this one) starring a much younger Alec Guinness, of Obi-Wan Kenobi fame. He was so good he won an Oscar for Best Actor.

@jaknazryth2488 Год назад

I'm a Gen-Xer, child of the 80's. Graduated in 1986 from a smallish Highschool in nowhere America. When I watched this in the theater with my friends it effected us so much because we were the exact same age as the characters portrayed in the movie. This was the first movie that took a serious look at the issues teens were going through in the 80's. Before this movie, most "teen movies" were more like fantasies of parties, the nerd getting the popular girl, and teens bucking the system. Everyone could relate. After this movie came out, jocks were not as mean to the nerds. Kids from different backgrounds were willing to talk to those outside their social group. At least, that's what I noticed. I think teens and young people are bigger bullies and cruel today than they were in the 80's. I might be wrong, I hope I'm wrong, but everything I see tells me different. BTW... since 1984, to this day, Bender is still going to detention...

@robertnichol3669 Год назад

not sure if mentioned but FYI believe was the director John Hughes had a cameo as Brian's dad who picked him up at the end. Some of his movies didn't really age well in the political climate now. But for a lot of Gen-X's this was our coming of age movie. Everyone saw somebody they related too and in a lot of ways after we watched it, we saw high school different and everybody around us differently. Cause we saw ourselves in each other...Just a thought Cheers

@madmagboy Год назад

Fun Fact: The actor who played Brian was dropped off in the beginning by his real mom and sister.

@mexi72 Год назад

In the 50s they had The Rat Pack. Davi Jr., Martin, Sinatra, Lawford and Bishop. In the 80s it was The Brat Pack, Ringwald, Estevez, Hall, Sheedy, Lowe, McCarthy, Moore and Nelson. Also, this movie would have been made in the early days of sushi in America.

Fun fact....Brians Mom and sister at the beginning of the movie in the car....thats the real mom and sister of Anthony Michael Hall....i cant count how many times i saw this movie....but its awesome...Thanks to John Hughes for creating these epic movies.

Unfortunately, at the time this movie was made, what Claire said is probably going to be true, at least for the popular kids.

@Logan_Baron Год назад

Sadly growing up in that time, despite EVERYONE loving that movie, it was still that way long after that movie. I hear things are better now to some degree. But I always appreciate Claire in that moment that at least she is being honest.

Saw this when I was a teenager in the 80s, and watched it so many times. And it can still make me cry. I fell in love with Ally Sheedy and.... Well I'm still in love with Ally Sheedy. Although the makeover was not required. You have so many Brat Pack classics to look forward to, but none really beat this one.

@yournamehere6002 Год назад

John Hughes wrote a movie subsequently that has been little seen, called REACH THE ROCK, and I always felt it was somewhat of a sequel, because the main character resembles Bender and makes sense how things would turn out for him, post high school.
