    "When you grow up your heart dies."
    "Who cares."
    "I care."

      "When you grow up your heart dies"
      A child sees the world and the things around them as a new adventure. They're innocent and naive to where they don't know any better. As a person matures into a teenager/young adult they're becoming more exposed to the "real" world. The expectations of society during those years pressured teens into being perfect adults and people thus causing them to sometimes grow resentful. Once they've become an adult they don't have that innocence they once did as a little kid and aren't seeing it through naïvety. They know what's finally goi on in the world and as they continue to grow they're not the child they once were thus showing that their heart in a way has died. When Bender says "who cares" it's showing that he doesn't care about growing up and losing the essence of being young and carefree. When Allison responds by saying she cares, it shows that she doesn't want to be bitter or emotionless when she's older.

      Victoria Odegaard No, I am not a troll, you are being an ignorant aficionado, that's not an insult, I'm merely making a criticism so please don't be offended.
      My statement regarding John Hughes' later career is referring to all his involvement in the film industry after 1990, I won't deny that the man was talented but after Home Alone he seemed to loose focus on creativity and innovation in film making that he was well known for, I still find it hard to believe that the genius who brought us such cinematic greats like The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles and Ferris Bueller is also responsible for cinematic garbage like Beethoven, Home Alone 3, 101 Dalmatians and Flubber.

    • @victoriaodegaard1
      @victoriaodegaard1 9 лет назад +8

      well... ur writing the same reply for multiple comments making you a troll. Keep your opinions from ruining other people's comments. I happen to feel that some of the later movies he directed weren't as... profound as his earlier stuff but this is all opinion and you shouldn't be shoving your ideas in other people's faces.

    • @cHeStEr5434
      @cHeStEr5434 9 лет назад +3

      Victoria Odegaard Saying the same thing to a few comments that are saying the same thing isn't trolling, trolling is posting offensive and/or off topic messages online with intent on provoking an emotional response.
      What I'm saying in my post is a statement of fact not opinion, and it's intended to be informative not offensive. John Hughes was known for being creative and innovative but later in his career he began hastily phoning in movies in favor of personal gain, that is called selling out.

    "When you grow up your heart dies" - I agree a little, you don't feel things the way you used to feel things, it's not that you don't stop loving or are incapable of love. I think people who have been unlucky in love learn to try and not feel anything knowing that it is a setup for pain. That's the sad part of getting older, trying to protect your heart by learning to feel nothing.

Let's face it...the heart doesn't make the mortgage payment, health insurance payment, or the heart doesn't provide better home or schools for kids. Some of the heart dying is the grind of life, where reality and practicality trump idealism and hope.

    Now in my early 50s, I can’t see clips from those 80s films without getting choked-up. I think of the carefree times with friends, feeling overwhelmed by life despite being truly fortunate, privileged kids with college ahead and promising lives. Some of those friends are gone now, from illness or accidents or other fates… loves and lives lost, but I still see them vividly in my mind’s eye, as if we’re forever young 😢 Thanks for helping keep them alive, Mr Hughes 🙏

    John Hughes took all of the ordinary things about life in the 80's for teenagers and expressed them through memorable films like, "The Breakfast Club", "Sixteen Candles", and "Pretty in Pink". Many of his other films were great too, but I will always remember the ones that focused on being a teenager and trying to figure out where you fit in society and where you will end up. The music in his movies is a big part of the soundtrack of my life as a teenager in the 80's. RIP, John.

    I believe Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Planes, Trains and Automobiles are John Hughes' two masterpieces. The comedy and the drama is equally strong in each of those movies, with totally hilarious moments as well as deeply touching ones. They both have the most original, inspired, signature style out of all of his movies.

I know I was not the only teen who felt that he made his movies w/each of us in mind, and helped us all from that era - by letting us know we were not alone as we felt. I have made it a point to introduce his films to my own children so his legacy will live on. RIP Mr. Hughes & thank you!

She's Having A Baby (like a number of his films) was filmed in my hometown of Evanston and nearby. The train station in She's Having... and the church scene at the end of Sixteen Candles were filmed on the same half block in Winnetka, Illinois.

    My teenage years were far more prosaic than the lives led by his on screen characters but watching his movies made it possible to relive those years vicariously through them and rekindled some of the emotions and energy of my teen years. Hughes certainly gave teenage lives a resonance that no other director had or has since his passing. It certainly helped that his taste in music made the movies even more memorable and in particular his fondness for British music exposed some great bands from the 80s.
