I was not familiar with John Hughes nor his work. I mean I had seen Home Alone, but I never knew that John Hughes was behind it. It all changed when a friend recommended me a certain film called Ferris Bueller's Day off. Suddenly I was fascinated by John Hughes and his movies and was searching the internet like a madman for names of more films by him. The first film I came across while rambling through search results was The breakfast club. I like a fool ignored this film thinking it would be some romantic tale between two teens. And how wrong did I turned out to be?
I decided to watch the movie last night to complete my marathon of John Hughes movies. In doing so I realized that I have been ignoring his best work!
The movie begins with a narration from the actors stating who they are to their principal Mr.Vernon. According to them each one of them is a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal. They come back to this line at the end of the movie.
Then we are introduced to our characters all 5 of them as they make their way into the detention room and are briefed by Mr.Vernon. This is where Judd Nelson refers to him as "dick" and right at this, I got hooked onto this movie.
What is so great about this movie is its sheer simplicity and realism. The movie is grounded and relatable to real life for even a modern teen like me. It shows how each and every character has to deal with their own problem which is huge to them. I was specifically interested in Allison. Her nail biting and sugary sandwich seemed weird and interesting to me.
To sum up the movie I would say that this movie is a special one. It is really realistic and is very relatable to me. That is why I would highly recommend you to give it a look at least once!
