A movie for the teenager still within you . Yes, there is!

Rating: 8/10 (14 March 2017)

Do we ever truly grow out of our teenage? There's always a nerd, a jock, a princess, a criminal, or a basket case (or any combination thereof) still in us. No matter how desperately or effectively we try to mask/deny it.
John Hughes 1985 film, 'The Breakfast Club' is a story of 5 teenagers (representing the five archetypes above) facing school detention together at school, and in the process realising how each one of them is more similar than the prominent differences one felt conscious of before that.
It's not really a coming of age film... at 45 this movie speaks to me, holds a mirror, and asserts that self-acceptance and sharing heals. It also brings out, subtly and hence effectively, the importance of listening and unconditionality.
Watch it, with and for the teenager in you. It'd also help you understand the teenagers today. Because teenage isn't an age... it is a state of mind.
