Detention can bring people together

Rating: Null/10 (15 August 2016)

The breakfast club was one of several John Huge films that dealt with teenagers and their inner selves.
Known as the brat pack, they rose to international fame and fortune for their cult of personality.
The movie takes place during Saturday morning detention where the kids, coming from different backgrounds and status, bond over a single day.
Vernon tried to keep a watchful eye on them, but becomes sidetracked by his feelings of failure and ineffective policies.
One theme throughout seems to be will be be like out parents or become our own unique selves. Another is peer pressures that cause is to betray the person inside and make bad decisions.
Together they stand against the crowd and break the mode set for them.
Carl the janitor stands out to me as a person who hasn't forgotten childhood and seems more sympathetic to the kids plight.
In away he seems like the opposite of authority and more on the side of freedom from the burdens of daily life.
These deep themes took a generation by storm and are still enjoyed today.
It was always destined to be a classic.
