The Breakfast Club

The Breakfast Club is known to be one of the best 80's movies of all time. The comedy-drama stars five different teenagers, from different stances in the high school popularity chain; coming together on a Saturday morning detention. As they spend their Saturday morning together they find a bit of themselves in each other, looking past the stereotypes that they labeled each other as.



                                                                                                       "Dear Mr. Vernon, 

we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. What we did was wrong. But we think you're crazy to make an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us...In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain…and an athlete...and a basket case...a princess...and a criminal...Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club." 

- Brian Johnson, Andrew Clark, Allison Reynolds, Claire Standish & John Bender 

I like this quote because it shows how all of them came together despite the tears, fears and judgement's they went through to finally realize that they are actually a lot more similar than they thought. "...we found out is that each one of us is a brain…and an athlete...and a basket case...a princess...and a criminal..." they came together and found that they had a lot more in common than they thought; and I think that's what shows the actual glory of this movie that despite their social groups, or how far they are on the social ladder they still came together as one.
