a classic teen film from 80s

Rating: 9/10 (23 May 2014)

I gave this old movie a try since my English teacher recommended this movie saying that it's one of the most culturally significant movies in America. it's obvious that 'The Breakfast Club' got such rave reviews; and I just wanted to find out if the movie has been overrated or not.
There are only seven characters in "the breakfast club". The five students who got stuck in a room for seven hours on Saturday morning, a teacher who asked them to write an essay about themselves, and a cleaning man are the only characters that contribute a verse to the movie.
I expected the movie to be far-fetched as the main characters have nothing in common. I, however, was quite fascinated by the plot. Each character has strong individuality, and it makes the story unpredictable. Also, it had such a good cast; the acting is so outstanding that I was actually infatuated with the story. Not to mention the memorable soundtrack. Though the movie is set in believable situation and it was shot only at a school, songs like 'We are not alone' and 'Don't you forget about me' keep you hooked on the breakfast club. Besides the cast and the soundtrack, what I appreciate the most in this movie is the message that's hidden. The Breakfast Club conveys a message "Your problem might not be your problem." You may understand what it means if you give this classic teen film a try. You won't believe this film was released 30 years ago. The message still is realistic enough to impress today's teenagers.
I highly recommend watching this movie. I promise it won't let you get bored.
