The Breakfast Club : our review!

The Breakfast club is a great surprise. This is indeed the best teen movie that I have ever seen and no doubt the best film of John Hughes. The Breakfast Club tells the story of 5 teens who do not know each other who must spend a Saturday in detention under the supervision of an unsympathetic teacher.

It is on this very simple basic pitch that John Hughes will make a movie almost revolutionary in its themes and criticism about the school and the cell "confinement" family and social.

Initially the 5 young are caricatures. There is the rebel / offender, the athlete, the brainy, pretty daddy's girl, and the crazy one. This is where we see the intelligence of Hughes's scenario because with the time these caricatures will become real people , they will gain consistency because Hughes shows that people become forms caricatures because of the pressure put on them by their parents, friends and of course schools. People behave as they do in conformity with the vision that others have of them.

The school as a whole takes for its grade. The school system is embodied in the film by Professor Vernon, the only representative of the teaching staff; He also is a caricature, but you have met during your schooling or your work. With this description of the teacher, we understand that the school doesn't have the best role, and that's right. I also find it interesting that enlightenment, understanding, openness to others, and their release does not come with a good soul or any master, but the band itself, the group. 

I really like this little gently anarchis. You will therefore understand that my favorite band is the crazy one who is not really crazy, but all the rest of the cast is good.

Under its outside little teen movie, breakfast club is an interesting film that asks pertinent questions about our educational model, but also about our own behavior and that is.more beautiful to watch at. It's still not every day you see that! So throw you in this movie  and during a half hours, be a member of the breakfast club. Be a brainy, a athlete, a crazy, a princess, a rebel.

Just like the Wizard of Oz, The Breakfast Club is one of those movies that are part of cult films in the United States, while they are little known in my country (France). Just watch movies or American series to see how this film marked the country. I must say that almost all the series made a small reference to this film. I have heard of this movie in "Gossip Girl"  when Blair Waldorf refers to the Breakfast Club with the "Non-Judging Breakfast Club" and then made me realized it was absolutely necessary to me to see this movie

Never a film has been able to capture so well this time that we call adolescence. John Hughes arrives in just half hours and in a closed-door moreover, to paint us a picture of the youth of the 80s, but may well still apply to today.

It's true that when you see this characters gallery, we can say that there is nothing original, and we always find the same faces but what makes the brand of this film, it's precisely what is going to happen between these five individuals during their detention.

The barriers will fall, and they will each learn to know each other. Something that never would have happened outside the detention, each will have to respect the values ​​of their little world.

John Hughes will address most of the issues affecting teens,  the relationship with parents, relationships, education, drugs, sexuality, and it always without being overbearing. It must be said that the performance of the five teens is incredible, the actors are sincere and although most are old enough to go to high school (unless you have repeated 5 times) are perfectly credible. It was like being with them when they entrust us with their problem, their doubts ... We note in particular one of the final sequences where everyone say why they ended up in detention, touching moment, with particularly magical performance .

The film makes us go through various emotions, how not to laugh at some mythical replica of Bender or indignation before the misunderstanding of the monitoring with these students. The film touches us, but we did finish the movie with a smile, and we're glad to have spent this time with these teenagers.

The Breakfast Club is now one of my favorite movie, I didn't think I would enjoy it at first. This is a movie I wish I had seen earlier.

John Hughes was a writer for National Lampoon when deplored that adolescence is not well represented in cinema outside a comic burlesque on the edge of denigration.

See Breakfast Club is like diving headfirst into a whole epoch: the clothes, the music, dialogue, pace, while smelling the 80s.

But what is funny too - after the fact, is to get that even without having seen the film, you already know a little. The song by Simple Minds that I have listened to for the first time in "One Tree Hill" when Brooke dance and Julian shows up. It's quite surprising to see that without knowing it, I was coming anyway with a little know on the film.

I totally recommend you this movie.
