Initially, "Breakfast Club" had planned to shoot a sequel every ten years to show the life of every club member, but this idea was not achieved in the end. The primary reason is that the relationship between John Hughes and the actor Judd Nelson, who plays Bender, is too bad. Hughes even said that he would never work with Nelson again. In addition, Hughes's former queen actor, Molly Linward, also drifted away from him in the late 1980s. As an adult, Linward hoped that his acting path would not be limited to teen movies. As a result, the two diverged and eventually parted ways.

In the last scene of the movie, Bender raised his fist and pointed to the sky. This scene is now almost regarded as the icon of the 80s movie.

When they were about to finish filming, Nelson suddenly made this action.

The masterpiece of youth films in the 1980s is the same as the work of John Hughes as Spring is not a school day. The two films are similar in that they both limit the time to one day. The entry point seems ordinary, but they can convey a wealth of information through intensive drama conflict. The difference is that compared to the humorous ridicule of spring, the tone of this film is different. The theme is deeper and more serious, and the psychological analysis and excavation of young people are convincing, which is by no means comparable to ordinary school movies.

This damn it is called a youth movie. Youth is not just an abortion and a love triangle, nor is it just a crush on a game in the college entrance examination. What a youth movie should really talk about is the problems faced by a generation of young people. Which teenager is not confused, which girl is not hesitating. The film talked about the situation of American youth that I have been curious about, such as the discrimination against nerds, the high status of athletes, and the parent-child relationship of Americans. And it is estimated that many situations have not changed substantially now. Advocating individuality is worth learning, but this cultural orientation will inevitably lead to various problems in another version of the film, and we need to pay special attention these years. People always have to discriminate against something in order to live, but young people are less likely to hide their discrimination. In the opposite of authority, in rock and marijuana, young people grumble and spring up. Coupled with the nerd's questions about whether they will retain their friendship at the beginning of school, and the janitor's response to the teacher's complaints about the youth, these scenes. All of them make me admire the director's five bodies. It's a good director to be able to take small shots to make big shots, from shallow to deep, and new to common ones.

Andrew: It's good.
