The Breakfast Club

With the beginning of the 1985 movie, “The Breakfast Club,” directed by John Hughes, the audience is introduced to five teenagers, each coming from different walks of life: Claire Standish, Allison Reynolds, John Bender, Andrew Clarke, and Brian Johnson. All of them have been assigned to Saturday detention at Shermer High School, where they are students. Despite the fact that they all go to the same school, few of them seem to have anything in common, with the exception of Andrew and Claire, who both reign in the “popular” crowd. As each of their character traits are revealed, however, a connection is formed between the five, making for a remarkable plot with an irresistible charm.

Claire Standish, played by Molly Ringwald, is the “ideal” school girl. Her red hair is perfectly combed, her clothes are stylish, her grades are good, and she belongs to all the “right” clubs. Her outgoing nature has made her quite popular among the student body. Claire has landed herself in detention because she decided to skip class and go to the shopping mall. When she first opens her mouth to speak, viewers are given the general impression that she thinks herself more important than anyone else.

. . .
He tells the others that his home life is horrible. Fortunately, Carl knows not to take the comments to heart. Instead, he responds by telling Bender that he knows everything that goes on in the school and that if he knew what was good for him, he would be quiet. What do you care? You see us as you want to see us…in the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions. Confidence, not before present in Brian, starts to shine through. Instead, they are talking to each other, revealing problems, and making new friends. When criticized during the movie by so-called “bad boy,” John Bender, she is, at first, very sure of herself. Known as “The Brain” because of his good grades and impeccable study skills, he is not readily accepted by his peers.

Andrew Clarke is the male version of Claire. When he is given a failing grade in shop, however, all of this goes down the drain. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain…and an athlete…. Critics of director, John Hughes, may say that this drug scene suggests that the use of illegal substances aides in the easing of difficult social situations. and a basket case…a princess…and a criminal…Does that answer your question?

Sincerely yours,

The Breakfast Club
