"The Breakfast Club" will forever be remembered as one of the greatest films for many reasons. This seemingly simple plot thickens as the story unfolds. "The Breakfast Club" displays many popular features that most 80's teen movies possess. For example, all of the young main characters are full of an attribute that seemed so often confronted in 80's movies that it defined many characters in movies from that decade. Angst. That simple word describes a feeling that every main character experienced for reasons not too diverse. Angst is felt in this film's characters and is directed primarily towards teachers, school, and, of course, parents. As each character explained their troubles to each other they realized how similar they were. With a star-studded cast including Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael hall, Emilio Esteves, and, of course, Judd Nelson, this movie is easily summarized as magnificent. Judd Nelson is featured in his most famous role as a bully, criminal, and typical high-school punk which every adult, young or old, can easily relate to. With his seemingly simple personality he is used as the comic-relief as well as the individual who triggers character conversations. These hilarious and somewhat immature conversations are really the glue which holds together this fabulous movie. The deep explanation of these multifaceted characters is exceptional. The audience could easily relate to the troubles and pain that each character experienced. The main individuals featured in this picture each developed to understand each other and to think differently of themselves. To truly experience the 80's, see this film and be amazed.
