Well the 30th anniversary of "The Breakfast Club", and it is going to be coming back to theaters by the end of March.
It is one of my favorite John Hughes movies next to Home Alone and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
It's a story about a bunch of high schoolers spending their Saturday in detention in a library and contemplating where their life was going. There was a nobody (played by Alley Sheedy) a trouble-maker played by (Judd Nelson) a know it all (played by Anthony Michael Hall) a jock (played by Emilio Estevez) and the princess (played by Molly Ringwald)
They were in detention for different reasons and had to remain in there until they write where their life was going and what they did wrong. They spent almost five hours knowing that they don't want to change who they were and they don't want to be like their parents.
That where John Hughes understood teenagers by these movies he created, along with pretty in pink and sixteen candles, he understood the teen mind. And with him gone, movies are not the same as they were but we will never forget his words of wisdom, "Even though your parents might not understand you, one director always did."
He's no longer with us, but his great works will always be with us for generations to come, and I grew up watching these movies and loving them up. I know I was only a little girl and about the same age as the movie "The Breakfast Club" I understood how teenagers felt and what they were going through. And I know when I get older, these movies will never die and for the new generation to come, will enjoy the movies as I did when I was young, all thanks to John Hughes. I miss him, everyone misses him, and with the 30th anniversary of "The Breakfast Club" this year, we will miss him much more.
In the great words of Simple Minds: "Don't you forget about me" Till then, let the classics never die and be with us for generations to come. Ciao Bloggers.
