In 1985 a new way of how characters interact. How? Well John Hughes just stuck five kids in a library on a Saturday. That is what happened in Breakfast Club. When five students are sentenced to Saturday detention, they decide to make the best of it despite having almost nothing to do for nine hours. Each student had their own worlds who rarely cross. For they are athletes, brains, basket cases, criminals, and a princess. However as the day goes on each student learns about each other and the cliques start breaking down. Also on the other end the disciplinarian learns that he is not as he thinks he is. Also the characters have a high (not the drug on) when they see each other as friends but do not know if they will speak to each other on the following Monday.
Now that sounds cool but what is cool is that most of the movie takes place in one room and most of the movie is just plain dialogue driven. It was something that was very unusual and is not easily something to be pulled off. However I think that having cliche cliques and having realistic backgrounds to the characters, the movie much more relateable to younger viewers.
But kids, don't SMOKE THE POT!!! It won't make you dance like Emilio.
