The Breakfast Club - the Most Important Meal of the Day

“The Breakfast Club” The Most Important Meal of The Day

I’ve just seen this movie and would love to do a review on it. This dramatic comedy is a must see for kids in high school, going to high school, or even parents that want to understand the social dynamic of high school. This movie contains 5 students sentence to 8hrs of detention. Each student is in distinct cliques or unique groups of people in a specific social order. The nerd, goth (emo) girl, jock, the princess, and the bad boy.

In the library serving detention sat 5 very different individuals. In this movie you take a tour into each of their personal life as well as why they are in detention. Typically the bad boy gets into trouble along with everyone else. But we start to see a change, what change? You have to watch and see. The bad boy Bender played by Judd Nelson was great at causing trouble and acting like a juvenile. The princess Claire (fat girl) played by Molly Ringwald was a decent choice but, I think it would be a more suited role for a blonde because of the stereotype about the blonde cheerleader/ princess. Wrestling superstar the jock Brain played by Anthony Michael Hall. Does Molly go for the bad boy or the jock?

How the director applied more to the movie than just kids with everyday problems, they made the kids noticeable different and each had a similiar problem that forced them to open up more. I personally learned never to judge a book by it’s cover and that I really don’t know about someone’s personal life, they could have it just like me or worse. I think you’ll learn about the same thing. The Breakfast club gives a great lesson about how no matter how different you are there is always something you can find in common. There is one more lesson for teachers watch and learn.

Teenagers who can relate, teachers who lost their lost their way, or a person just likes seeing the reality
