Life-changing, eye-opening

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2013)

The Breakfast Club has got to be one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful, movies ever created. It's an epic chronicle of the forced meeting among all of the cliques of high school and general life. But even more so, it is the ballad of the merging of personalities, the dissolution of social and mental boundaries, and the siren song of being accepted. In The Breakfast Club, nothing exists for the characters on that Saturday other than what's happening at that school. Parents don't matter for that day. Pressure is powerless, as is guilt, shame, and social hierarchies.Although this resolve often seems impossible in society, this movie possesses a contagious hope for just that.
