In the film I noticed that each character really has there own color that tells a little bit about them. This is also known as expressionistic use of color. Bender's color is red. Under his jacket he wears a red flannel. I think the red stands for how confident is throughout the whole film but also for the anger he feels towards his father. Another example would be that the color pink represents Claire. Throughout the movie she is thought of as the girly girl and the queen bee. The other characters were also represented by colors; Andy was blue, Allison was black, and brain is green. Brian, Andy, and Allison all represent cool colors while Bender and Claire represent warm colors. Bender and Claire are also the colors of love...No wonder they become so close. ( Chapter 7 )
Some of the unique sound effects in The Breakfast Club include are Brian's pen clicking and the group whistling. In the beginning of the movie the group of high school students are just annoyed by even having to be in the same room as each other, but by the end of the movie they are all getting along and even whistle tunes together. There are also two parts in this movie where the dialogue is different from other movies. In the beginning of the movie we can only hear Brian reading part of their letter to Vernon but at the end of the movie all of the voices are overlapping reading the letter together. (Chapter 8)
It's no secret that The Breakfast Club has one of the best music soundtracks of all time or so Pitch Perfect told me. I honestly thought it wasn't the greatest. The only song that really stood out to me was Don't You ( Forget About Me) by Simple Minds. The song tells the inner story of the film. It tells the audience that even though these kids may ignore each other at school and go back to their own social norms that they don't want to forget each other. Most importantly, I think it backs up Claire giving Bender one of her diamond earring so he will never forget about her. The song was the perfect ending to the movie and a great representation of new found friendship. ( Chapter 9)
The Breakfast Club is another great example of ensemble acting. There really is not stand out actor in the movie. Each actor compliments one another and doesn't steal the show. Overall, I thought the acting in the movie was superb. Each actor nailed the character whether they were the jock, the nerd, the queen bee, the crazy one, or the rebel. I felt like there was a connection between me and characters when each one of them told their personal stories. (Chapter 10)
I think the director, John Hughes, wanted the movie to be comical and humorous but to also cover some heavy topics. He allowed each character to really talk about their problems while adding some humor to whatever subject. He also picked the characters wonderfully. He didn't choose actors with big names that would steal the show. He choose a cast that could work together to make the movie a hit. Not only did he select the perfect cast, he also picked the perfect way to end the movie. He left the audience feeling a sense of hope and appreciation for each character. ( Chapter 11)
The Breakfast Club will forever be one of my favorite movies. It taught me to never judge someone by their appearance or by who they hangout with. Everybody has their own story and own problems to deal with. It also taught me that even though you don't always hangout with someone doesn't mean you cant have a good time with them This movie will never get old.
