Yes, it's heartbreaking that the teens are all treated horribly by their respective parents, but are expected to stay close to them because of blood ties. 💔
Crazy how Brian's went from the darkest and most unhinged to the most comedic in just a few seconds. It's still pretty dark to consider that if he was a little less harmless, it would have been a really different outcome.
@presence5426 it's not about his grade, it's about the pressure his parents put on him to be what they want him to be instead of himself and loving him for who he is. His grade is a reflection of that regardless of how arbitrary it is in isolation.
In this age of social media, we need moments like this. We need to put our phones down. We need to listen. We need to confess our darkest secrets. We need moments where we can openly discuss our problems to others that will listen and not fight back. We would all heal if we could do this again.
Nope. It's best to settle things with fights as seen in the movie Karate Kid. When Johnny bullies Laruso he learns Karate and gains the resepct of the bully for confronting him without fear. Therapy doesn't work. It's an american thing to think talking about a problem solves the problem. It's just identifying the problem so you can label it. But it's not going to solve it. If you took these kids and gave them a mentor like Mr Miyagi they would learn self respect and discipline. It works in real life. The street thugs that grew up in the tough neighborhood (with parents that were too poor to provide) became the MMA fighters and learn to control anger and rage and use it productively. Rather than whining about their parents like the spanish looking guy in this movie. If that guy took up karate and could fight his dad by defending himself, then his dad would never lay a hand on him. Generation X had bad parents but it made us tougher in the end.
This movie is about teens supporting each other when their parents couldn’t. Its point of view is for teens to listen, talk, play and spend time with each other. They can learn from each other
these make me so emotional. in my senior leadership class my teacher showed us this movie to show that just because we think we know people based on how they present themselves but deep down there’s so much more to them. we did a presentation on our lives before watching this movie. i think every high schooler should see this movie
@@ijustwatchsomeyoutube2186 No chase scenes? No explosions? No violence? Do you know what the movie was about, or the point that they were trying to make? SMDH
Andrew’s lament about apologizing for things you’ve done is so painfully accurate. How do you so deliberately do something that you know is the wrong thing to do and except yourself to apologize for it? You know what you did; you knew before you perpetrated it; you knew while you were acting on it; and you knew after the fact; and you know that know apology is going to sound genuine enough to those who witnessed it. It’s the same feeling of guilt around the song “In The Air Tonight” by Phil Collins: a man watches another man drown and does nothing about it, turns around to the sight of a silhouette obscured by the light, and he must endure the first hand trauma associated with self-corruption.

We are able to be this vulnerable and emotionally aware bc we live through it everyday despite us being labeled from your stereotypical depictions of teenagers. it costs a lot to be this vulnerable and feel safe enough to fully express ourselves in front of others. i would say some teens in my generation are more closed off than before that we say less about what we feel either bc of fear or shame. But the intensity of emotion and depiction of teens in this movie..yeah its real and i know friends have experienced this and shared abusive events to me casually while i was driving, in a text message, or just walking to class. when we feel there’s a safe space oh you’ll hear stories just like theirs
@@EmeraldBayMovies I think the point of the movie is they are stuck together all day in a Saturday detention and start to let their guard down, but yeah this would never happen. Most of Hughes films are like this. They are teen fantasy films actually. I do think the point could be to not judge a book by its cover.
In my teacher education program we've talked about adverse childhood experiences and the impacts they can have on students, their academic progress and behavior. This scene is a perfect depiction of such things, and the impacts they can have - most of these kids being otherwise star students who on the outside appear to have everything going for them. I'm thinking of suggesting the professor show this to future classes, or will bring it up if we discuss that again in my program. This movie has such incredible depth, far beyond the usual prom king/queen underdog gets girl stuff of most throwaway high school movies. Which is why it's still relevant 37 years later.

@ThaliaVision This is in an attempt to have parents envolve themselves in order to connect with their kids if something is wrong. There should be a level of confidentiality, I agree with that.

@@Medietos Well I'll say this, nobody gives you a manual on how to be an adult. All anyone can do is wing it best they can. Also, think about how many students one teacher deals with in a day. Some may deal with just 1 class, but most deal with multiple. This can range anywhere from 12 to 60 students a day and possibly more than that... (not to sound cruel or anything) but would you wanna hear ALL their problems EVERYDAY? (my mother is an E.A. I see exactly how much it wares teachers out to deal with so many kids, especially bratty kids) I can see how that would drain on anyone's mental health. Also it's not a teacher's job to become envolved with students on a personal level as it may cause serious reprecautions for them if anything is considered "inappropriate" to a student. That's what counsollers are for. Specifically to connect and talk and understand what someone may be dealing with. I think it's okay if teachers talk to their students if something is wrong, that's just being sympathetic. But it's another thing to envolve themselves on a personal level.

This movie is so accurate to real teens that I could pinpoint the characters to people in my school, people I would have never taken a second glance at, or considered my friends.
You know honestly as young people we often times believe that romantic relationships and lifelong friendships are built on simple. things that you have in common with other people. However real and authentic relationships and friendships are built on your deepest fears anxiety’s triggers past traumas and all of your deepest desires stemming from your childhood; what type of parenting you received: spoiled, abandonment,coddled,abusive,religious etc. That in my opinion is what true friendship and real relationships are built on is being able to be open and laugh about what your childhood and how you were raised was really all about.
Benders parents abuse him Andrew's dad is pushing him to be better Brian's parents pressure him to get A's Allison's parents ignore her Claire's parents use her to get back at each other
Andrew is lucky he was just sent to a Saturday detention, and I think it was due to the era. That’s a major offense, like hazing violation, bullying. He would possibly be sent to an alternative school today, removed from the team, or facing legal charges. Brian might make the news today for the gun stunt, and probably be told to meet with a mental health professional. Geez we were so without resources in the 80s.
@@BlueRaven893 What are you a Gen Z? lol you kids romanticize eras you’ve never stepped foot in. If you grew up in the 80s you’d know the reality of living in it
@@elm1230 The 80s have metrics, if you prefer, that heavily correlate with greater happiness across the board. From a surface level view, you can just see the effects. Family households more functional than now, better income to taxes and inflation ratio, less mental illness, less crime across the board in most cities (excluding meccas like New York), etc. This isn't debatable. And these non-debatable metrics or just observable anecdotes, indicate greater quality of life nearly everywhere in the United States, and the West in general.
I retired from teaching high school a couple of years ago, and these days, Andrew wouldn't be sitting in detention. Home situation notwithstanding, he'd have been arrested for assault and battery the day of the incident, and EXPELLED from school. Federal law requires that every US school student have a safe learning environment; most schools take that very seriously. Moreover, in 2024, what happened to Larry would be all OVER the news.
Heyo! Im 14, my dad JUST showed me this movie last night. I loved it. Ive become quite the fan of older movies this year, and this movie made it on my top 3 list. I hope your kids love this movie as much as we did!
This is my 2nd favorite movie of all time and last year I got to meet Anthony, Judd, Molly, and Ally at comic con in Rhode Island. Judd and Anthony are two of the sweetest people in the world. The girls weren’t as social but they were still very nice. I’ve rewatched this movie so many times and it hits hard every time. I love this movie so much
I am proud of Andrew for his genuine remorse for what he did to Larry Lester but (in all fairness) a detention wasn't enough of a punishment. He should have (at minimum) been suspended and kicked off the wrestling team because that borders on assault and battery charges. He is lucky the school didn't have him expelled.
@@danielevans9379Im a 13 year old and I absolutely love this movie. Just because half the generation acts foolish doesnt mean that the whole generation is done for. You may be shocked by the amount of kids my age that love this movie. To me, its a classic and isnt boring at all
I could never see this being duplicated again. The sheer intensity of emotion, the raw pain and hurt so well acted I truly don't think they could do a remake.
Not easy to let go of that shield, but eventually, success. Reminds me of AA meetings, "Hi my name is....". - Hi you, how do you do. Just tell another person so much about yourself since it can be used against you, just for family and trustable friends.
Is it just me or did Alisons confession feel like a trance with that music while Benders confession felt like a whole action sequence like a fight in karate kid I littlery watched it yesterday's im going to be a senior in highschool
1. John's dad abuses him and his mom 2. Andrew's dad pressures him 3. Brian's parents pressure him, and his little sister bullies him 4. Allison's parents neglect her 5. Claire's parents use her to get back at each other whenever they argue like siblings.
The 80s version of rebel without a cause. The Difference is, The teens get detention and making hostile charges at each other. But eventually cool down and learn a lot from one another, even realizing that when they take off their masks, they find out that they have a lot in common for being human. Developing adults, but needs the guidance to go through their difficult lives. This is back when you didn’t need social media to connect, You do it naturally face-to-face. You truly support the ones that finally understand you for who you are. And acceptance is key.
Barry Norman's scathing critique of this iconic film only served to solidify my perception of his profoundly narrow-minded and misguided understanding of quality entertainment. I ignored him ever since.
I think many people today can't understand why someone would get off with just a detention for what amounted to assault. You have to understand that we as a generation were freely beaten by parents, teachers and even parents of neighborhood friends could get in on the act. It was a totally different time. That's why so many of my generation never beat their kids.
I was just thinking today that a movie like this couldn't be made today. It would be total fantasy. If you get 5 teenagers together in detention today they would never talk to each other. They would be on their phones the whole time.😂
Un film così al giorno d'oggi non si potrebbe realizzare mai...con tutte le le tecnologie telefoniche e la droga che oggi è più presente che mai rispetto a prima, è ovviamente non azzardate a fare un remake...nessun attore di talento potrebbe reggere il confronto con questi iconici attori....io credo che la maggior parte delle scene che hanno realizzato siano improvvisate...per rendere più spontanea la loro performance

Those were the good ol days
One of the very best movies ever 😊❤ and you can't help feel bad for them
Not easy to let go of that shield, but eventually, success.
Reminds me of AA meetings, "Hi my name is....".
- Hi you, how do you do. Just tell another person so much about yourself since it can be used against you, just for family and trustable friends.
Bringing a gun into school in 1984: *Detention*
Bringing a gun into school post Columbine: *Felony Charge and Prison sentence*
As it should be
Stealing $998 worth of stuff from a store in San Francisco in 2023: No penalty.
It was a flare gun tho lol
@@galvanicpotato567 Still lethal at close range
why did he have a gun in the first place
They all just needed love
Is it just me or did Alisons confession feel like a trance with that music while Benders confession felt like a whole action sequence like a fight in karate kid
I littlery watched it yesterday's im going to be a senior in highschool
I remember, my last few weeks of high school, we watched this movie in my English class. In a way I found all these characters so relatable.
Love it ❣
I saw this on HBO -- I also watched it with a few Family members....This was filmed 25 minutes away from my house.,. This movie made me think
The best comedic relief moment was Ally Sheedy’s character saying she just had nothing better to do. ❤ classic.
No way the producers hate this movie, this is masterpiece
What producers?
I so want the background music for this entire scene.
Same here, do you know what it is yet?
Allison was so adorable!
1. John's dad abuses him and his mom
2. Andrew's dad pressures him
3. Brian's parents pressure him, and his little sister bullies him
4. Allison's parents neglect her
5. Claire's parents use her to get back at each other whenever they argue like siblings.
When you or anyone else thinks they can know people based on appearance they are only stereotypes them.😳😨👌
The 80s version of rebel without a cause. The Difference is, The teens get detention and making hostile charges at each other. But eventually cool down and learn a lot from one another, even realizing that when they take off their masks, they find out that they have a lot in common for being human. Developing adults, but needs the guidance to go through their difficult lives. This is back when you didn’t need social media to connect, You do it naturally face-to-face. You truly support the ones that finally understand you for who you are. And acceptance is key.
Wish I had friends like that and get some stuff like that off my chest
I love the breakfast club
Best movie of the 80s
Barry Norman's scathing critique of this iconic film only served to solidify my perception of his profoundly narrow-minded and misguided understanding of quality entertainment.
I ignored him ever since.
I NEED to see this movie
It’s the holy grail of teen coming of age movies. Nothing else comes close.
Love this movie
My mother’s a mindless machine that nobody can relate to
I still think to this day this is John Hughes best film and the best film of the 1980s.
Love this movie classic
Andrew’s confession is one of the most powerful scenes in the movie.
"There's no way". How I feel right now.
Emilio’s scene was top tier he was sooo good
Homework was actually made to punish kids, not help us.
0:46 that music was key
brian was actually losing it way more than I thought when I first watched this when I was young.
I learn english .Well, so, .
I looked at the recipe and I admit that it seems delicious and easy to me ... the turkey pot pie
Acting at its finest.
the best scene
I think many people today can't understand why someone would get off with just a detention for what amounted to assault. You have to understand that we as a generation were freely beaten by parents, teachers and even parents of neighborhood friends could get in on the act. It was a totally different time. That's why so many of my generation never beat their kids.
I relate to andrew so much dude
Detention for a gun in your locker? Makes sense
This was pre Columbine
Different times, man. Shit’s wild. And ig a flare gun wasn’t see as THAT big of a threat ig??? Idek
It was a flare gun, not a real gun. BIG difference 👍
it was before columbine, also why does he even have access to a gun at that age???
Even still man I guess pre columbine pre 911 I know it was different still just seems weird
a whole maximum overdrive!! |/:).
Bombastic side eye 8:27
Emilio’s confession …..is like that of D. T. ….. back in the day….but he opted not to change …..
they are their own therapist
I was just thinking today that a movie like this couldn't be made today. It would be total fantasy. If you get 5 teenagers together in detention today they would never talk to each other. They would be on their phones the whole time.😂
I think it should be a requirement for every high school student to watch this movie.
3:52
Do you want to know why am I here? I had nothing better to do.
I'm not gay but Judd Nelson in Breakfast Club is kind of a man crush :-)
You might be gay. Liking his character is different from saying you have a man crush. That's gay.
Well, he's gorgeous in this and obviously has attitude, so no judgment. LOL.
@@TheChadWork2001 No it's not. Don't take it so seriously
I love you bratpack, always
A whole generation got addicted to D&Ms on this.
Un film così al giorno d'oggi non si potrebbe realizzare mai...con tutte le le tecnologie telefoniche e la droga che oggi è più presente che mai rispetto a prima, è ovviamente non azzardate a fare un remake...nessun attore di talento potrebbe reggere il confronto con questi iconici attori....io credo che la maggior parte delle scene che hanno realizzato siano improvvisate...per rendere più spontanea la loro performance
Yeah I felt like the nerds confession was the darkest on of all of them
Cool film in the 80's.
Do i stutter ?
That is still from the movie Mermaids!! |/:).
Classic.
