      burst into tears

      What I liked about breakfast club: the nerdy math kid
      What I didn't like about the breakfast club: all the other kids
      The education system in the US is really loose, tmd, when I think of when my former head teacher was angry and the whole class stayed in school, I called one Frightened, I didn't dare to move with the heavy schoolbag in my hand. I had to stand straight for more than 2 hours. I was only 14 years old at that time, and because of the sound of putting down the schoolbag,...

      Everyone's Breakfast Club

      I wanted to echo the sentence "not so godlike, a bit far-fetched", but there is no force to force me to write it up. It's like when you finish a question, but there is another voice calling you, come and check, or you will lose one point, one point. . . . "
             And sometimes checking is like picking treasures. You find mistakes in the exam paper that you have done, just like finding gold in the gravel. Then take the exam, and you can continue with the good mood of picking treasures....

      I hate people like this guy

      There are three kinds of people I hate:

      One is the one who loves to label others. This kind of person always simply divides people into one category, nerd, princess, athlete, and always draws a clear line between others and themselves. Others are inferior so easily classified by themselves, and there is always an inexplicable sense of superiority. Pretentious.

      The second is a person who attributes his misfortune to others. This kind of person may really suffer misfortune and...

      Profound but not heavy, very rare campus youth film

      I think the most prominent part of this movie is that it does not provide any solution to the problem, but it explores and understands the problem, and understanding is the prerequisite for the solution. The whole film only describes the story within 8 hours a day, but the characters in the whole film are the epitome of everyone in our middle school years, and almost everyone can find a little more or less of themselves in it. I think the most exciting part of the film is the five...

      Friend of the day

      I like sitting on the floor and talking the most. I didn’t expect it to be improvised by the actors. The classmates who were simply defined as athletes, little princesses, gangsters, nerds, and freaks were all sincere and beautiful, who needed to be loved and involuntarily involuntarily behind them. Today they can sit together and open their hearts and understand "parents". All harms, others are the reality of hell. After today is over, are they still good friends? How will they continue to...

    Behind the scenes gags

    This is the second film directed by director John Hughes. He completed the script of the film in only two days (July 4 and 5, 1982).
    The film stars five high school students who define themselves as princesses, nerds, athletes, freaks, and criminals.
    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...

    Evaluation action

    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...

    Movie quotes

    • Allison Reynolds: I don't have to run away and live in the street. I can run away and I can go to the ocean, I can go to the country, I can go to the mountains. I could go to Israel, Africa, Afghanistan.

    • Brian Johnson: I'm a fucking idiot because I can't make a lamp?

      John Bender: No. You're a genius because you can't make a lamp.

    • Allison Reynolds: I'll do anything sexual. I don't need a million dollars to do it either.

      Claire Standish: You're lying.

      Allison Reynolds: I already have. I've done just about everything there is except a few things that are illegal. I'm a nymphomaniac.

      Claire Standish: Lie.

      Brian Johnson: Are your parents aware of this?

      Allison Reynolds: The only person I told was my shrink.

      Andrew Clark: And what did he do when you told him?

      Allison Reynolds: He nailed me.

      Claire Standish: Very nice.

      Allison Reynolds: I don't think that from a legal standpoint what he did can be construed as rape, since I paid him.

      Claire Standish: He's an adult.

      Allison Reynolds: Yeah, he's married too.

      Claire Standish: Do you have any idea how completely gross that is?

      Allison Reynolds: Well, the first few times...

      Claire Standish: The first few times? You mean you did it more than once?

      Allison Reynolds: Sure.

      Claire Standish: Are you crazy?

      Brian Johnson: Obviously she's crazy if she's screwing a shrink.

      Allison Reynolds: Have you ever done it?

      Claire Standish: I don't even have a psychiatrist.

      Allison Reynolds: Have you ever done it with a normal person?

      Claire Standish: Didn't we already cover this?

      John Bender: You never answered the question.

      Claire Standish: Look, I'm not going to discuss my private life with total strangers.

      Allison Reynolds: It's kind of a double edged sword isn't it?

      Claire Standish: A what?

      Allison Reynolds: Well, if you say you haven't, you're a prude. If you say you have you're a slut. It's a trap. You want to but you can't, and when you do you wish you didn't, right?

      Claire Standish: Wrong.

      Allison Reynolds: Or are you a tease?

      Andrew Clark: She's a tease.

      Claire Standish: I'm sure. Why don't you just forget it.

      Andrew Clark: Oh, you're a tease and you know it. All girls are teases.

      John Bender: She's only a tease if what she does gets you hot.

      Claire Standish: I don't do anything.

      Allison Reynolds: That's why you're a tease.

      Claire Standish: OK, let me ask you a few questions.

      Allison Reynolds: I already told you everything.

      Claire Standish: No. Doesn't it bother you to sleep around without being in love. I mean, don't you want any respect?

      Allison Reynolds: I don't screw to get respect. That's the difference between you and me.

      Claire Standish: It's not the only difference I hope.

      John Bender: Face it, you're a tease.

      Claire Standish: I'm NOT a tease.

      John Bender: Sure you are. Sex is your weapon. You said it yourself. You use it to get respect.

      Claire Standish: No, I never said that she twisted my words around.

      John Bender: What do you use it for then?

      Claire Standish: I don't use it period.

      John Bender: Oh, are you medically frigid or is it psychological?

      Claire Standish: I didn't mean it that way. You guys are putting words into my mouth.

      John Bender: Well, if you'd just answer the question.

      Brian Johnson: Why don't you just answer the question?

      Andrew Clark: Be honest.

      John Bender: No big deal.

      Brian Johnson: Yeah answer it.

      Andrew Clark: Answer the question, Claire.

      John Bender: Talk to us. Every one: C'mon, answer the question. Come on. Answer it.

      John Bender: C'mon, it's easy. It's only one question.

      Claire Standish: NO I NEVER DID IT.

      Allison Reynolds: I never did it either. I'm not a nymphomaniac. I'm a compulsive liar.
