Review of The Breakfast Club (1985) by Jackson C — 22 Oct 2012

Definitely a classic. When 5 students with different backgrounds and status in their high schools get pitted together on a saturday detention they each learn a little about each other and themselves. The library in the movie acts as a force that unite them and also as a barrier to the outside world that they are so tired of.

They all discover that they are a little bit like each other, but can't really be true to themselves because of the typical conventions of high school. All of us were once one of them, and it must be funny for any of us to think back and really consider why we once thought and acted like one of the characters.
