In the thirty years since its release, "Breakfast Club" has not only influenced and moved generations of young people, but also profoundly influenced the evolution and development of American youth-themed films. The significance of "Breakfast Club" may be that it shows real high school life and teenagers' psychology, their lives, emotions, and their complex relationships with family and society. This small-cost film without a big director or star can gain moving power beyond the times. After all, for a youth film, the important thing is not the glamorous appearance and the dreamy dreams, but the true feelings and enthusiasm for youth. At this point, "Breakfast Club" is a big-time youth film produced at a small cost.
"Breakfast Club" is a rigorously structured film that follows the trinity of drama, in which director John Hughes embodies his strengths in his delicate depiction of young people's mentality issues. The director’s approach is humorous and relaxed, and the performances of the five young actors are also very enjoyable.
