CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Bender (Judd Nelson) mocks Claire's (Molly Ringwald) special lipstick trick and reduces her to tears.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
John Hughes wrote and directed this quintessential 1980s high school drama featuring the hottest young stars of the decade. Trapped in a day-long Saturday detention in a prison-like school library are Claire, the princess (Molly Ringwald); Andrew, the jock (Emilio Estevez); John, the criminal (Judd Nelson); Brian, the brain (Anthony Michael Hall); and Allison, the basket case (Ally Sheedy). These five strangers begin the day with nothing in common, each bound to his/her place in the high school caste system. Yet the students bond together when faced with the villainous principal (Paul Gleason), and they realize that they have more in common than they may think, including a contempt for adult society. "When you grow up, your heart dies," Allison proclaims in one of the film's many scenes of soul-searching, and, judging from the adults depicted in the film, the teen audience may very well agree. Released in a decade overflowing with derivative teen films, The Breakfast Club has developed an almost cult-like status.

The way Allison says "I care." at the end just breaks my heart. ;v;
I like the way she said it. Allison is my fave character in the movie ^_^
***** awesome directing...
it really makes me tear up. I love the acting. This is my all time favorite movie.
+Rose J me too
FanofThings when Allison says that "when you grow up, your heart dies." I think the death of your heart is conformity. I'm actually disgusted at conformity and the hypocrisy of my own disgust.
"When you grow up, your heart dies." Favorite line from the movie.
Shakespeare Olive More Favourite line from movie history
Shakespeare Olive "i care"
And it is so true
Well, not the hearts of empaths.
but wrong. The heart doesn't die as one ages. Quite the contrary.
I'm _SO_ thankful that they never attempted to remake this. Even Hollywood seems to know their boundaries.
They were planning on doing a sequel in 1995 but because John Hughes and Judd Nelson did not get along the Idea was scrapped.
AlphaDeltaXray They wouldn't be able to remake this today. You know why? Teens today are all on their smart phones. Who wants to watch a movie about kids in detention all playing with their smart phones.
don’t jinx it
A screenwriter would get round this in 2 seconds. Confiscation of phones.
@@McLarenMercedes Okay boomer
"When you grow up, your heart dies"
What was she doing at the beginning with the lipstick?? I didn't get that part ! Please explain
frankieinfrance She was opening herself up to the rest of the breakfast club by showing her "unladylike" trick to them. She was applying lipstick to her lips by holding the lipstick with her breasts.
+Richard Rominger Not true. In fact, it's the opposite: You feel things intensely, but you are spread out thin, with all of the responsibilities of adulthood: Earning a living, paying bills, maintaining a relationship, raising children, dealing with co-workers or office politics, coping with stresses, paying taxes, and pondering whether you made the right choices and whether you achieved anything, and if you have any regrets while contemplating your own mortality when one or both of your parents die.
no shit
Are D The irony of this statement is often lost on those who are high school. High schoolers are the often the most heartless and divisive conformists to their cliques than any mature person.
Allison was my favorite, she was by far the smartest and the realest person in that groud. She has some kind of wisdom, and at the same time some kind innocence that makes her unique. Her statements about sex and growing up are the best of the movie. Love her.
actually the nerd was the smartest they even state this in the movie
Yeah, I really liked Alison, even though she was manipulative (making Claire admit she's a virgin), she seemed to know when another person was lying, she was innocent too. And I also liked Claire, she was stuck up but she was kind, vulnerable and innocent. Honestly, I loved when both the characters interacted, I would have loved more Claire/Alison scenes.
houseofaction Brian might have been the smartest, but not necessarily mature.
Roy Phillips never said he was the mature one all though i could see judd nelsons character being secretly smart
PalmurcioWorld She was my favorite too. What made her unique was that every other character's problem was because of a dysfunctional relationship with their parents whereas Allison didn't have a relationship with her own. Even though she was looked at as weird and eccentric, she was probably the most normal one in the whole group because she could spot phoniness a mile away. This was pointed out several times throughout the movie: the scene where she asked Andrew what he did to get into detention and then asking for the real reason why he was there and of course Claire's BS about virginity and sex.
A lot of people are saying they don't understand the scene, why Bender is so rude. But if you watch til the end, and indeed from the very beginning, it's obvious that he likes her but knows she would never even look at him. She is valuable and he is worthless. He is scared of rejection, but turns it into bitterness and rudeness to protect himself. He is so used to being treated as worthless, that he rejects everyone before they can reject him, so it wont matter as much. He is especially rude to Claire, because he cares especially about being rejected by her. Its possible that to him even having them hate him is better than having them not think of him at all. Dunno, all I know is that this movie I incredibly deep. 😱
that actually makes perfect sense,
Is he not just being manipulative to get her to be emotionally invested in him?
DFX1126 that too
wow well said.
Esther Ninsiima yes spot on, that is the reason for his behavior, it's very real
I like how after Claire says that she's never going to be like her parents, Bender looks at her like she's ridiculous and they make eye contact and she says -- desperately, and sincerely -- "ever." He just nods and leaves it be. I thought that was such a powerful moment but I'm still trying to figure out why
probably because he never wants to be like his father so he understands the feeling. He may know nothing about her life which seems perfect from the outside but he does get how someone would not like to become their parents. THAT he understands 100%.
So gooood
More like, she learned her lesson and understood the points he was making
she was saying her reached her, and was making a promise ... one he could understand.
Because Claire acknowledges hers messed up a little bit, and she won't do what they did... So he kind of respects that. Bender, however, is slowly turning into his dad already. Why do think it's *him* that said, "Who cares?" to Claire?
I like how bender nods at Claire after she says that she won't turn out like her parents, even after ripping into her about being privileged. It's kinda like him saying well done on not wanting to grow up and be snotty like her family. In fact bender sorta sorts everyone out, like he's a sort of anti hero
i feel like if bender wasnt there, the whole movie wouldnt have happened, they wouldve done what they should have
NaughtyBoyCutler Yeah because his approval means what exactly? Why is he the fucking authority on what or how she behaves?
You're sooooo wrong. That's a "Yeah, right" kinda nod. Like he already knows that she's going to turn out EXACTLY like her parents. Peace Brotha!
He showed everyone their true colors.
You are right. Let's be honest, if Bender wasn't in that room with them, they would have had a boring 8 hours. They'd have just been sitting there in silence, maybe exchanging an awkward word here and there. Bender was the one who actually got them to talk with one another because he pushed the envelope. Nobody else was bold enough to do that.
Bender said a lot of those things to make them open their eyes up.
"I could disappear and it wouldn't make a difference, remember?"
Those words struck him and its the side he's trying to fight all this time.
I think he is trying to portray how much bullshit the clubs, niches, and groups are.
Cliques.
If he may as well not exist, then why should his opinion count.
That's one of my more personal favorites. But I have a thing for pointing out inconsistency so it's a thing I'd do.
Good point. I also think it shows how similar he is to Allison beneath the surface because Allison's parents ignore her. They're both facing the same kind of problem.
@@holiday197 When Andy first says "you might as well not even exist at this school", Bender looks to Allison, who that quote could also describe. I always saw it as he acknowledged her cause he knew that and didnt want to ignore her over it, cause it hurt him and he's much more out there than Allison is so she might feel like collateral damage . Maybe I relate to her too much (cause I've had a very similar thing happen and I kinda reacted that way) and read into it too deep, but I like the sentiment and since it's just a movie, who cares if it's technically wrong.
When Ally says "When you grow up, your heart dies" gets me every time. I relate to that quote so much.
I can relate too 😭
BadDriversOf Georgia can you elaborate how ur “heart dies” as u grow older?
im not here Howso?
You're all so edgy
The Shadow assassin your heart dies because everything that you care is left you behind alone, your parents that you love die, your love ones left you, the world you view as beautiful isn't that beautiful, and life becomes tragic that you hope you shouldn't be a part of it from the very start, you will live it your way at the end, all alone. We live to suffer and from that pain we grow to be a human we wanted, life breaks you so many times you're even lost count of it.
Some people build something delusional to protect themselves from this fact, like they wanted to gain peace and happiness in this life while the only peace and happiness you've got is to not live at all or in other words _away from the world and it's society._ There will be always a problem and a burden for you to carry, history tells us this but people still built those delusional defence for them to feel alright and not fight, not even the propeths of God had it easy, they've been rejected, many and many times over and over again even tho they tell the world the truth and kindness. There's never an easy way to live doesn't matter how you see others as it is, they got their own tragic story the couldn't tell and they carry all alone until the day they die.
What Ally said is that when we grow up all of this things would make us become more a realist, we see the things as they are, if people do bad then they do bad doesn't matter if they had good intentions behind it like saving their family because it doesn't matter to us at all.
Life is cruel and we can't saves everyone.
The way Allison cries while smiling...
I couldn't tell if she was sad or....
Intense scene. Still kind of tough watching Bender rip into Claire. It was just so unprovoked. Great depiction of how an angry adolescent boy from a poor family would vent his frustration at believing he could never have such a privileged upper-class girl.
+Cliff Trainor It wasn't because he thought he couldn't have her (he knew exactly what he was doing, deconstructing her, causing her to "hate" him and become emotionally invested in him). He ripped into her because he knew it would bind her to him, and because she was an easy target for his class envy.
Antonym Scalia Textbook abusive behaviour.
No
Cliff Trainor I disagree. #FuckClaire
Antonym Scalia Again, I disagree. You'd have to be damn near psychotic to be able to read people to such a minute level. I do agree that this is what's happening here, and what leads to the film's end, but I don't believe for a second that he's aware of what he's doing.
If there was no Bender in this movie, everybody else would have the same pathetic lives at the end of the movie
Exactly.... The never would have spoke Brian would have done his essay and the others would have sat around ignoring eacother...x x x
Yup. He is the one who got them all to start speaking with each other by constantly bugging them lol Bender was the true healer of the group, I don't even think he knew it.
What makes you think their lives are pathetic?
Without Bender, it would have been a normal detention.
There's no guarantee that things even really changed for them at the end, but they did gain a new perspective.
You can really tell that Bender felt bad about what he said to Claire, but doesn't want to admit it. This movie is so good.
They were all incredible acters
Imagine if this backfired horribly on Bender. All so he could recieve tough love
Bender is being mean to Claire cause she is rich and popular, whereas he is an outcast and abused at home, so he gets pissed when she compares herself to him since she has everything and he 'got shit', but what he doesn't realize is that she may be popular and rich, but she is just as unhappy with her life as he is. People assume that her life is perfect, that she wants what all pretty rich girls are supposed to want, in Bender's own words "diamond earrings, her father's BMW, shopping, a white wedding (probably to a rich preppy guy)", but she doesn't care about things like diamonds. She is more than what people see, just like Bender is more than the worthless asshole that everyone else thinks he is. They are similar that way.
Agreed
it's exactly what everyone thinks of each other
facts.
Poor Queenie.
I don’t believe that Bender being outcast is an excuse to treat Claire the way he did throughout the movie because watching his behavior was just pathetic
fun fact: this whole confession scene was ad-libbed
Grace Gordon so they just winged that scene
+Loralei Hoesel yes, that's actually true. the director trusted the cast enough to make up their origins. i didn't believe it either.
Fun fact - Roger Ebert was on the set for this scene
Grace Gordon .....wait. even the end?
Your heart dies?
I care?
Forreal??? You're telling me they just winged this scene like it was nothing and made perfection?? This is the greatest movie of all time.
"My God, are we gonna be like our parents?" I know some people who rebelled, and in the end became just like their parents. One of the saddest things in the world to witness.
The following are the reasons each character is in detention on Saturday: Andrew (Emilio Estevez): taped a guy's butt cheeks together in the locker room. Brian (Anthony Michael Hall): flare gun went off in his locker, Bender (Judd Nelson): pulled a false fire alarm. Claire (Molly Ringwald): ditched class to go shopping. Allison (Ally Sheedy): didn't do anything, she didn't have anything better to do on a Saturday (however, this claim is most likely untrue, and is part of Allison's compulsive lying).
How the hell does someone allow someone to do that to their cheeks
@@jo-joseph1196 the person must've been asleep
@@MazeDaGr8 I thought he was held down.
@@jo-joseph1196 have you never been bullied before?
@@scottmatheson3346 never had butt cheeks taped together
Breakfast club is one of the greatest movies of all time, it's just so well written and has a great moral to it, definitely John Hughes best film
And the acting is perfect too
'when you grow up, your heart dies.'
'who cares?'
*'i care'*
that line makes me so emotional.
This one scene probably shows more dialogue between John and Allison than the rest of the movie put together.
Allison just wanted Detention because she was bored.
I recently started shipping Claire and Bender and I JUST noticed the way he nods at her at 2:35 when she said she was never gonna be like her parents -- he may be an asshole to her beforehand, but I found that as a way of him apologizing to her for it-- her looking at him straight in the eye as she said legitimately let's him know that Claire doesn't like the life she's in right now despite everything she has…
That's just my opinion, *gets off soapbox…*
Bender had it B-A-D for Claire. It's a classic behavior to pick on someone you're either jealous of or really really like. And Claire liked him back, I could tell.
Nowadays Claire wouldn't like him at all.
this movie shows that even people from different walks of life can come to an understanding when faced with the same situation, case here being detention. In the 80's i found that bullies can sometimes become your friend now it's like you either kill him or he'll kill you.
Kill or be killed. I had to find that out the hard way. There's the way that it ought to be and then there's the way that it is. I'm doing the killin' if that's what it takes to protect myself and achieve my dreams. I'm real like Bender. I also have a sincere heart like Bender. I'm just not weak and I'm not a pushover. :)
When she says “I care” it literally feels like I’m getting hit in the stomach. What a powerful scene
Anyone notice how the lipstick was dark and then on her lips it was like a light pinky colour
Did this scene between Bender and Claire for my drama midterm. I was Claire. My partner and I both got so into it that I had to run to the bathroom afterwards to throw up because the emotions were so real it physically took a toll on me. The whole class was dead silent when we finished the scene.
Wow. Sounds intense.
Osnap...
Wow, that's some powerful stuff.
Johan Acosta Ask anybody fool.
Jason williams Nelson is such an underrated fighter, am I right?
"Hey, smoke up, Johnny!"
That's just fucked up tbh.
AltFreak25
BigLTheBestMC I'm 44 and it's amazing how smoking has drastically gone down especially for high school students over the years which is a good thing of course. When I was 16 I started smoking. During the '80's in our high school we actually had a smoker's lounge and students were allowed to smoke in this designated area outside. It was during an era where we knew that smoking was not healthy but we did it anyways mainly because our parents did it. I'm glad to see young folks today not doing it and seeing cigarettes for what they are....stupid, harmful and expensive.
gmccord1970 Wow. That's crazy. I'm 18 and I've never smoked a cigarette. I used to smoke some weed, but don't do it as much anymore because of how expensive it is. And you guys were really allowed to smoke in that area during school hours?
Lol more of a normal thing to do the further back in time you go. The adverts for cigarettes years ago are so funny lol no one was thinking about it being unhealthy
I used to talk like bender at my high school to the rich girls when they called me fat or ugly. It kinda hit home too because in freshman and sophomore year i got only Ds and Fs, I was a total deadbeat. When bender started tearing into claire, I felt like it was a part of myself. I dont know, I never got treated like shit as bad as bender, but I know the feeling of hating everyone on earth, including yourself. And he talks just like I used to at that time.
I have always..always loved this movie.
Allison is so hot in a weird way
BorgesProduction Claire is hotter
Yeah man
You’re seeing her true beauty; not weird.
@@ricksanchez7296 claire is hot, but Allison is cuter
BorgesProduction True dat.
"it was a banner year at the Bender family rlol love this guy's sarcasm. I believe Bender carried this movie. He was the least spoiled brat of all of them.
Yes
borinakoune Yeah he's not spoiled he's just an asshole of his own free will. What a champ.
All the guys are douches. Brian is bitter and has chip on his shoulder as well as having a superiority complex. Emilio's character is a bully who justifies his shitty behaviour behind his excuse of peer pressure and Bender is a fucking abuser who manipulates Clare.
Allison is the only person I have any time for. She is the only one of them who doesn't harm the others.
So i guess you're a princess like Clare? Every guy wants to be a bender or an Andrew the bad boy or a jock or a bad boy jock.
borinakoune Sorry no, I don't subscribe to the theory of their being just 5 types of people.
I'm me, and I recognise an abuser when I see one. Bender is abusive. Probably because he has himself been abused, it's a lack of understanding about how to healthily express affection. So he manipulates the object of his affection instead.
Brian is bitter because no one wants to be with him, he seems to think the world owes him that for some reason. He's incredibly entitled.
And the jock? He's someone who thinks peer pressure is an excuse to harm others. He's desperate to fit in and be accepted, so much he'll take innocent people down in order to do so.
None of those are people I'd want to be. Abusive, bitter and lacking character and the convictions of their beliefs.
Also they are teenagers. Not fully formed adults. No grown man should want to follow the philosophy of someone half their age.
I'm not a snob, I'm not subscribed to peer pressure. I'm not like Clare, her actions are very similar to the jock's only minus the physical abuse, she's all about the emotional abuse towards others instead. Although she has every right to refuse advances from any one she chooses to refuse, such as Brian.
Allison isn't really guilty of much as I say. She doesn't attack others in spite of her pain. She internalises it and instead attacks herself. Not healthy either, but an admirable attempt at being a decent human being. She does strange things in the hope they will guard as a defense mechanism and won't let others anywhere near her. Her makeover isn't about the fact she was ever ugly, it was about allowing herself to be stripped of her protective armour in front of others. It was about expressing her vulnerability and learning a little trust. Something Bender also needs to do, he vents the same thing through aggression, he's clearly very introspective like Allison and also highly intelligent but has enough confidence to push others away in a less self destructive manner.
What the Breakfast Club says to me is more a warning to parents and teachers. Any adult dealing with a teen/child. Please try to remember you are forming these people indirectly. That your neglect and abuse creates these damaged creatures that can't always be saved at a later date. That they need kindness, love, encouragement and reassurance because they might not be getting it anywhere else. That's my take.
borinakoune Okay...
I'm no snob. I wasn't catering to what you want, because I'm not your server this evening, but if it's just a joke... whatever.
RUclips is for whatever you want it to be for... hence RUclips.
Bender is so real. He's so textured and pure. What an amazing character.
Allison is so pretty
Not really
Reading Fc 2016/2017 Championship Winners You're gay.
+Rei Pelégolas no she just isn't pretty. Claire is hot as fuck though
Reading Fc 2016/2017 Championship Winners And you're not hetero.
+Rei Pelégolas what does that mean
At 2:37 Alison say's "Its unavoidable", "When you Grow up your heart dies". I agree. It gets me every time. Thankfully I have this on DVD. Thanks.
Might be the best movie ever made. I get chills watching this every time. The joy I get from this movie is unexplainable
Forever wondering what happened the following Monday..
I feel like they would acknowledge each other but will stay in their social circles
Kinda obvious they part ways, as ally takes a momento from Emilio and Claire gives John he earring, so they remember
Always, and forever, and till the end of times, this is my first favorite film of all time.
same
I'm not mocking this scene, but last winter when my brother and I were coming back from visiting our family in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I insisted on paying for gas and asked him if he wanted anything from the store. He said he wanted the "John Bender special" and while I bought him his cigarettes (I HATE smoking), I did grab him by his collar and shake him while shouting, "Yo, smoke up, Robby!!"
William Shaw How’d he react to that?
*“AYE, SMOKE UP, JOHNNY!!!”*
"well, that actually is from The Breakfast Club"
John Bender:
The only kid in Shermer High School of '84 who never sheds a tear.
SMOKE UP JONNY
Bender is jealous of Claire although he won't admit it. He is already heading down the role of his father. He is bitter and treats everyone like they are worthless. Thank goodness he has an epiphany.
Jealous in one way but also full of contempt and spite. He knows she wouldn't last a day with his parents. So in his mind she's weak and would be absolutely nothing without her parents. I'd also say he understands how vile some parents can be - even if they're wealthy like Claire's parents. It's quite likely Claire's father buys her expensive stuff and tries to buy her affection and love but it's not working.
Life dealt him a tough hand. What he doesn't understand is that life can be tough even if you're materially well-off. You're just having a different way of dealing with that and don't retort to anti-social behavior like crime and theft.
Bender reminds me of Han Solo
Vienna Jordan same
Vienna Jordan Indeed, totally different outlooks on life, totally different goals, totally different context. Other than that you're right...
Claire may seem like she’s living a great life, but she’s probably going through so much guilt already, and the only way she can actual release her guilt is by crying and insulting herself inside, which is why she is always so quick to cry whenever Bender remarks on her family’s wealth.
This scene stood out to me, because Bender was being a bit too harsh here.
“ when you get old, your butt just........... sags........ and you can’t find your pants “
😂😂
VICTORIOUS 😂
It’s amazing how John mocks Claire, but when he stops, you can see by his eyes that he immediately regrets it.
Because at this point they've bonded enough that he's genuinely started to like her/want to be with her. At the beginning of the day he didn't care. She was just some beautiful priss he could enjoy tormenting, make her blush. Now he cares about her and he's mad probably at himself because he never wanted or expected that to happen and her because he feels all she'd ever do was look down on him, never give him a chance and it makes him lash out. He wants her to see how blind she can be.
I bet you him liking Claire maybe realizing he liked Claire scared the living shit out of him.
They come without warning.
John Hughes was such a good fucking filmmaker.
One of my all time favorite directors.
"Did you WORK for the money to buy those earrings?" This is my favorite scene in the film. I felt that Bender was pointing out Claire's class privilege.
that’s cause he was
Duh.
"-When you grow up, your heart dies.
-Who cares?
-I care..."
Highlight of the film
i love that allison stood up for clare when bender started negging her.
I love the end when Clair gives the diamond earring to Bender. Its a real touching moment.
The acting, dialogue, just everything is incredible in this film. Unreal.
Also the fact that MUCH of it was improvised and you have a true masterpiece that truly feels like there isn’t a script, just a real day at Saturday school. It’s brilliant
“My image of you is totally blown” lol
Although I love Molly Ringwald as an actor ( probably my favorite actress of the 80s because of her filmography : PiP and 16 candles ) Allison is by far my favorite character in BC. She's so different from all the other characters and I feel like her family situation ( which is almost no family situation at all ) is the hardest. She plays her part amazingly well and gives the right emotions when needed. Also my mother who was in high school in the 80's had friends that said she resembled Ally Sheedy's looks and attitude in this movie ( not all of it ) so she kind of holds a place in my heart...
Hey dude. Im not trying to be rude. But everyone in this movie is different. Everyone have something social in them. And for me Claire is my favorite character. And i accept your opinion because, indeed we are all different. Which is what this movie is telling. So i just wanted to clear that everyone is different. And i hope you werent offended
Nestor Morales Why would I be offended by your opinion? I never said anything about anyone in this movie being the same, all I said is that Allison is my favorite character because she means more to me and i feel like her situation is harder...
Brendan O okay cool. Sorry, i just wanted to clear up that everyone in this world is different in different situations. I wont judge you because i feel the same way for other characters. And i also think alli has something inside that makes her special in a weird kind of different.:)
Nestor Morales :)
Brendan O ;)
“I could disappear forever and it wouldn’t make any difference, I may as well not exist at this school, remember?” The only thing Bender ever said that actually hit me.
i wish it was 1985.......................
Don't we all
John Rosenbrock no
Andrew Brunnette
13, actually. You have to be at least 13 to have a RUclips account.
Not me. I like having the Internet and smartphones, as well as no more Cold War or Communism and a much more prosperous world
People only think about the good side of that stuff and never consider how much their life could’ve changed for the worse.
Funny thing after all that's said and done all of them are loners even when they're with their "real" friends...
This was my favorite part of the movie! Seeing teenagers tell their struggles in life. Especially how different type of teenagers explained their struggles, when you wouldn't even suspect them to have anything wrong in their lives.
I will never get over the look he gives her at 2:30 jfc I am in love with Bender
That's because Bender is the only one that doesn't bullshit. They were all thinking what he was.
I like people that don’t bullshit.
This movie is awesome. But it was really this scene which i understood the most. Most people DO NOT understand where Bender is coming from, i don't have it as bad as he does, but what he said about nobody caring about his disappearance is true, and that if claire was gone the school would freakout (She is pristine as mentioned earlier in the film by Bender himself). I've been in the position of Bender trying to explain this to a group, then got alienated at school. I came across as the brutally honest asshole, when really all i tried to do was explain reality. A girl was in the group, and she showed a little attraction towards me after that (she was taken), but would never appraoch me. That's the part where a lot of people do not understand. In sumamry, Bender's Honest and Brutal wisdom is masked by his rebel personality and appearance.
Matthew Adrian Rose Well maybe I'm in the minority, but i don't understand where Bender is coming from. If we take this movie as real life, then you have to assume bender had some kind of reputation before they even got into detention together and it seemed like his reputation was not good. Bender is the kind of guy who only goes to school because he has to, doesn't care anything about the school or the people in it, seems to to make fun of people, then he wonders why no one would care if he was gone.How much effort did he put into trying to make friends? I'm not really sure why everyone likes bender. he ws a jack ass through out the majority of the movie. Like in one of the first scenes in the movie when they are in the library and he is giving shit to Claire and ugh I forget Emilio's characters name, but what was the point in doing that? In this scene they were supposedly telling or showing off talents they had and he had to give shit to claire about what she did. Why is that?
Mark W Are you talking about the start when he's asking if both Claire and Andrew are together? I think he was just curious at first, but he then he starts to notice her princess status within the school (When he makes a bet that she's a virgin, i think....). Of course at that point Claire thinks he's gross. It is really difficult to explain, but those who have been there would know basically. I need to be in my right thinking hat at the moment lol. But yeah i suppose Bender refuses to submit to Claire unlike the others in this particular scene by sarcastically clapping then making his point. Basically he stood up for himself, maybe that's where Claire's attraction towards Bender happens. I think the library scene was an attempt at mingling with everyone, well that's how i see it (Hell, even the geek is smoking, not everyday you see that....). But remember that's just me. I would appreciate others to enlighten us on this. Thanks for the reply too :)
Matthew Adrian Rose I would go a step further by saying that Bender's honest and brutal wisdom IS what makes him a rebel. I don't think he's trying to fit in because he knows he can't so he just points out the reality. Good point that you made though!
gmccord1970 Yeah he probably could fit in if he wanted, but chooses to be a true individual (as opposed to the audience who follows claire's little stunt), demonstrates this by his comment. That's where most people do not understand.

I don't think the others were really submitting to Claire, I just think they were showing appreciation for that talent as lame as it was. I don't think they were kowtowing to her, I think they thought what she did was pretty cool And Claire turned out to be actually pretty nice. She was right at the beginning. Bender and people like him already made a judgement about her without even getting to know her. But of course that was what the whole movie was about, Everyone had a pre conceived judgement on everyone else. I kinds did like how Bryan shut Bender up later on. Earlier Bender was making fun of Bryan ,saying how his life was so perfect, when in reality, it was just as crappy in a different way
but he said things that were true.
That's why no one confronts him really when he rants, or bothers to argue. They know there's a truth to his words.
0:40 ...."You're a shit." LOL. Favorite line in the whole movie.
smoke up johnny
The Breakfast Club is 1 of my favorite movies of the 1980s
Judd Nelson is so cool
Molly Ringwald is beautiful.
I swear Bender is my spirit animal
More like a spirit *human*. He's just an animal in a different sense.
I don't care what Bender's excuses are, he's awful. He treats Claire like garbage, constantly verbally assaulting her and sexually harassing her. Even if he likes her, that's not the way to get the girl.
Clair and Andrew were way worse. Bender is way more likable than those pompous clowns.
You’re right he is awful, but possibly awful in the best ways. He’s a result of his environment, he’s not like that for no reason. I think Claire set him off when she compared them when in reality (or at leave his pov) there’s nothing to compare, she is rich and privileged and he is the opposite, which is why it made him so angry. While he is awful he opens people’s eyes and makes them realise their own faults. Just my opinion:)
@@danielhart7435 How was Andrew worse? In this scene, he was owning up to the things he did
Watched this with my teenage daughter recently......Her only response to me after the movie was over? "Daddy, I had no idea high school for you is the same as it is for me. It's like they're the same people." I just hugged her and said "Yes." That's all. No need to tell her "See, I told you so!!" etc......She got it.
I’ve gone through the same pain as Bender. I understand this whole scene far more than I’m comfortable with. The people who had everything gifted to them without having to work or suffer still aren’t happy. How happy then do you think the people who have nothing are? The people who have never known anything other than suffering? How dare these fools compare themselves to people like Bender or myself or you reading this. The arrogance of humanity is blinding.
Everyone has feelings. By your logic, Bender has nothing to complain about because someone has it worse than him.
You can't think of it just because someone is rich that they have a great life. My father was rich and I had everything, but at the same time, he was abusive. My mother divorced him because of his abuse and I became her replacement. He gave me her clothes she left behind and told me to wear them any time I left the house and I was to only go out with him. I could not see my friends outside of school and even going to school, I had to wear my mother's clothes and have my hair like hers. The earrings I wore were apology earrings he bought me after telling me I failed him. The diamond ring? That was after he held me hostage in my own bed.
So, no, it's not all nice and rich kids can suffer despite appearances. I lost friends because they thought I was lying to them about abuse..they thought that since I had the dream life with all the money that nothing was wrong. Sometimes you're unhappy for different reasons and money can't fix that.
Minute 2:30. One of the best 10 seconds of the movie, when he looked and reacted to her saying that while looking at him.
That surprise look and subtle nod.
Lol Andrew's ticked off reaction towards Bender at 0:46 😂
People arguing about today's teens seem to forget that this is ONLY A MOVIE.
Even way back then, different high school cliques would never pour their heart out to each other. This is nothing but coming-of-age fantasy. Brilliant, but sadly, not real life.
As someone that was the age of these characters in 1985, I can tell you you're wrong.
christschool I think nostalgia might be blinding you.
@@niceguy4871 Or just could be my experience. I hung around with the the Claire group and the Bender group.
Yeah I used to have conversations like this but only with my close friends I never talked like this to kids I just met or kids in entirely different cliques that's just not how it works
That's an overgeneralizition. Conversations like this do happen. It's just rare, it depends on the people personally and the situation etc. Not like the movie would pretend it's a usual thing. Sadly I have been to a few high schools so I know what I'm talking about:D
This is my favorite movie ever
"When you grow up your heart dies"
Allison and Bender
Are my two favorites
When i first seen this movie i thought it was going to be a crappy movie
But when i watched it i fell in love with it
This is one of most deepest and amazing movies ever created
The line Allison said
"When you grow up your heart dies"
Bender "Who cares"
Allison " I care"
That stuck with me
Hughes said that this confession scene was not scripted, hence one of the greatest improvisations of all time. In this scene, all of their lines and acting are spot on.
Emilio Steves , Judd Nelson and Ally Sheedy Were 20s In That Movie
Anthony Hall And Molly Ringwald Were Just 16!?
Wasn't Anthony and Molly dating
Wasn't Anthony and Molly dating
UNCLE MAX
Yup, yes, Emilio, Judd & Ally were older than Anthony and Molly.
yo I like your beard man
The conflict between Claire and Bender is especially acute in this iconic scene. Brian serves as the bond that glues them all together. He has no bones about revealing his true feelings of nurtured loyalty towards them all. It helps them all to gradually tear down any walls between them, makes them feel more comfortable to open up since he takes the lead in this. The one who holds back is macho Bender. His tough exterior serves as a protection for him as he probably has been scarred the most. Besides Claire, the one who is main source of antagonism is Brian, whom he perceived as pathetic, but he blazes towards Brian's defense after Claire inadvertantly hurts him in her honest appraisal of how she will treat him when their lives at school resumes the following week.
At the time, I had just known the existence of this movie because I've always been a real Simple Minds devotee but I didn't take the time to discover the whole thing around Breakfast Club. And then, I had only watched the end of the movie with Don't You Forget About Me in the background thanks to RUclips... I've thought to myself '' wow it could be a pretty good movie of this era '', just that to be honest... And recently I watched the whole movie for the very first time and I was rarely so touched and moved by anything... I mean everything in Breakfast Club is almost perfect, extremely subtle, kind and deep. Each actor is special and memorable (Anthony Michael Hall was a bit of a prodigy, Emilio Estevez quite attractive, Molly Ringwald just adorable, Ally Sheedy quivering and Judd Nelson holder of an incredible actor's style including fascinating penetrating eyes). The team's unity makes the richness with this precise way from the director to seize each little special looks, each little special emotions, each little special switches from the young character souls. It remains something so so so kind and memorable, a little bit outdated okay but significant of an era full of naivety and contradictions because young people possessed neither mobiles nor tablets just books, rock and new wave. Because in addition to being a testimony of '' how it feels to be young in the 80's '', Breakfast Club is still universal, immediately accessible to our soul. Besides, it's an example of remarkable direction : not only emotions - which are unforgettable here - but real directing. John Hughes chisels and polishes each plane to maintain us close to the characters and to let us absorb a little piece of each of them. Many special moments with synthesizers driven little abandoned feelings from these young moving eyes... I can watch Breakfast Club over and over again now my heart will be each time overcome with emotions. 80's forever.
2:18 You can tell from his eyes he really felt bad what he said to her 💔
carton of cigs aint a bad gift
cmdrchris971 I think the point is supposed to be it's not what a good parent buys a kid. Suggesting Bender is abused and neglected by his family.
It's true...none of us have the same love and passion that we had back then. None of us care as much as we did back then....It's true and I mourn for that time everyday.
One of my faves directed by the late great John Hughes. This is very realistic of high school life and all of the cliques. And is sad but also hilarious! I love the ending when Claire gives Bender one of her diamond earrings and he puts it on.
That subtle Nike sponsor though...
Hughs put them all in this circle and most, if not all was improved in this scene
And the part where they talked all about why they were there, etc
Illenium brought me here.
Actually Bender is the only one who totally gets it. He sees through everyone else's facade and bullshit.
Yep and I’m kinda the same way.
Brutal but the realest ❤
I do like how Bender sort of tells Claire to stop acting so Conceited and Selfish and face the reality that no one Is perfect or Unique
In a way, he's kind of conceited and selfish.
I was just thinking to myself now that I saw both scenes. But what if the reason the group bothered to bond with Bender was because they felt pity for him after they found out his home life, or at least that was how he perceived it? And he saw right through it and in this scene he just straight out told him that nothing's changed in his eyes.
Ok but can we just compliment Abed from Community when he did this scene. It was on point!
I think this rebel guy steals the whole movie.
Ya know I kinda wish we got more Allison/bender dialogue 0:40 that's basically the only time Allison really talks to or about John
Kinda crazy to think we’re watching people talk about not wanting to grow old and be like their parent. Most of them probably have grandkids by now.
Does Benders sarcastic mockery applause remind anyone of the jokers from The Dark Knight?
No, because we knew Bender long before your stupid movie.
@@christschool lol, best comment here.
Does Brian have his jumper inside out? Or is it just me?
Yeah it is, it is part of the scene. He's a dork.
KaraJayne Makin because he was high before
Each of them all played their roles beautifully in this film and it is one of those rare masterpieces where all the characters resonate with the viewer in some meaningful way.
He was such a prick! Yet, she ended up w/him. -rolls eyes-
_H_
im sure she started to understand where he was coming from
***** Excellent job missing the point of pretty much the entire god damned movie.
Why do girls always prefer the distant, aloof, handsome, dangerous dudes instead of cheerful chaps like me? - Roger Ebert
Did you... sign your comment?...
You don't know who Roger Ebert is, do you?
Allison also talks for the first time.
