This movie does a great job with depicting the pressures that teenagers went through in 1985 and still go through today.

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2010)

The Breakfast Club was written and directed by John Hughes in 1985. This is a movie about five students that have to spend an entire Saturday in detention and have to write an essay telling Principal Richard Vernon who is played by Paul Gleason who they think they are. One is a basket case, one is a spoiled rich girl, one is a geek, one is a criminal, and one is a jock. This movie does a great job with depicting the realistic pressures that teenagers went through in 1985 and still go through today. I feel that the movie has great continuity and the actors are creative contributors to the success of the film.
This is the type of film that no matter who watches is they can relate to it in some fashion. Everything about the film from the set, the characters costumes, and the music are a great representation of how and what public suburban schools look and feel like throughout the country.
At the end of the film everyone is left drawing their own conclusion on how things will play out for each of the characters. This movie left me thinking about how high school was for me and how I could relate to each and every character. I would recommend that you see this movie, especially if you want to look back at the time you spent in high school.
