She wasn't used to having attention. She said so herself that her parents ignored her and being neglected can leave you with a personality that doesn't know how to handle social situations.
@Paris 123 Sixteen candles came first, didn't it? Because Brian seemed even younger there, and his voice hadn't even changed yet, and he was very immature in that movie
He kept looking at her and smiling at her pre-makeover, he tried talking to her while getting soda for everyone, and he broke through her defenses out of genuine concern about her situation, yeah the makeover helped get them together but he didn’t like her solely for that…it’s like he said, he was FINALLY able to see her full face without her hair and eyeliner/eyeshadow acting as a protective mask, at least that’s what it seemed when rewatching it over the years
People miss that the biggest act of intimacy in this scene is actually Allison letting Claire close enough to do her makeup, not all the boys looking at her after the makeup was done. "Because you're letting me.." is the most beautiful line in this part of the film.
YESS EXACTLY!!! It feels so intimate and sweet and like Claire’s seeing her for who she is, and Allison is trusting Claire , idk I just love it as well
Andy didn't comment on the clothes or the makeup, just the fact that he could see her face fully. I like to imagine on Monday she went back to her usual clothes/makeup, just with a ponytail or her hair half-up, not hiding her face.
I think they all went back to their norm on Monday at school, just to save face. I doubt that Bender would've walked around the crowded school hallways with Claire in his arm. Same with Andrew and Allison. The latter may've kept something going, but only after school privately. Bender and Claire, possibly the same, but it's probably more likely that they decided to keep what happened as just an event for that particular Saturday, something good to remember amongst themselves, yet something to keep quiet, and something to leave behind. Both Claire and Andrew in particular, would've otherwise really disrupted their social status, it's just how those types of highschool cliques function
I don't think they ever fully go back They of course go back to their own social circles, but these kids grew so much on this day I personally think they learned a lot from eachother and all will be an improved version come Monday P.s Allison won't remain friendless and I think she will adopt the makeover to a degree. This is a fantastic film. No matter if you are the most popular kid in school? Or dorkiest kid? You are a kid and will learn We never had a sequel and will never want one, it would never measure up Did they remain friends? I don't think so, but that wasn't what is important. They will have grown to accept others from other circles and be much more understanding. Pretty much they learned more that day than most learn in a decade. Powerful movie, with just a bunch of kids who know nothing about life coming together to learn that little bit more!
"Why are you being so nice to me" "Because you're letting me" those two lines say so much to me about Claire. She WANTS to be nice and friendly with everyone, but the pressure of her popular 'friends' always watching her like a hawk doesn't let her. But here? In this library with these like minded kids? She can be as nice as she damn well pleases. The only thing holding her back now is whether or not they accept this side of her, or treat it like a ruse. And I am so glad they chose to accept this side of Claire, she's a sweet girl trapped in a mean girls world. Acting mean to survive, because if she acts sweet to someone deemed uncool? That's life or death for a teenager, life or death.
I don’t think that was it, I think Allison is the kind of girl that would roll her eyes or hiss at Claire in any other circumstance. The popular kids aren’t the only ones at fault. The film shows that each one of them play into the social hierarchy. And depending on where you fall, you could sneer at the popular kids and be just as mean as one of them.
My favorite part of this scene is how after Brian gives his little approving smile, Allison whispers "thank you". I've always loved that. Just the little gesture of being nice to someone that has no friends can go a long way.
Somewhat agree, though I don't really like the word choice of 'approving', nor do I think it fits. It's more encouraging and accepting as a gesture of friendship from Brian, I think. It's not that he prefers her to look preppy or wish she'd dress like that all the time to make him more comfortable. He knows that to look this new way, pretty in pink, is not who she really is. Rather, he's happy she's getting a chance to try something new for herself, and bond with another girl and a different social class of person--exploring the world and getting to 'play', so to speak. Ultimately, Allison's looks have nothing to do with Brian or any other boy/man, nor should they.
Finally got to watch this classic. Omg why did it take me so long to finally see it. It’s a classic for so many reasons. They just don’t make em like this anymore
I would pay serious money I could be able to see The Breakfast Club on the Monday after the detention. I would love to see them be friends in front of everyone and what they would be like on a day-to-day basis
There was a plan to make two more films. But Hughes and Nelson finalized too bad that the project was forgotten. Judd bullies Mollie Ringwald to be in his script didn't help too.
Allison knows Brian isn't really interested into her romantically, but it's his reaction she's excited to see most. The two people that know how it is not to be looked at
For me, Brian's reaction is the most beautiful and interesting, because it's not the conventional cliché romance moment. It's about two people, tentative new friends of a sort, connected by pain and social strata but still strangers to one another, trying to help one another feel better about their situation.
He did. Even during the first half of the movie. I think it happened first when Allison "Ha"ed at Claire. Everyone was like "what the hell" but Andy smiled when he looked at her. Also, after they had their heart to heart, Andy constantly smiled at Allison whenever he looked at her especially during the group session. Also, Andy was the very first person that was able to talk to her (the scene where they grabbed colas for lunch). Claire tried talking to her in a deleted scene while they were in the bathroom but she didn't budge. John also tried (I think it's also in a deleted scene but it's not released yet) but she was just an island just like what Brian told Andy.
The thing that is really sweet and vulnerable about this scene ... is Allison is used to be ignored and anonymous her entire life. Even through most of the scenes of the movie, she's doing things in the background. So when Andrew finally takes notice of her, and shows her empathy, it has a profound effect on her. "Parents" "Yes" "What did they do to you?" "They ignore me." Maybe for the first time, someone saw her ... truly saw her ... and for that she risked it all to come out of her shell to be his something. All she needed was a little loving encouragement and she was ready to take a gamble. It's sweet in her earnestness and its heartbreaking to see how terribly lonely she was.
The dynamic in this scene between Andy and Allison is interesting and cute. I've always noticed how Andy looks restless sitting next to Allison, turning his back to her here 0:08 - 0:17 while she looks calm. And then when he's looking at her here 0:29, that's when I think he already liked Allison! And the way she turns, when she notices his gaze, I love it, because she faces him and doesn't look shy, unlike Andrew who turns his gaze even though he was discovered, but continues to see her 0:50 And if you notice at 0:38, Clare notices what we're seeing between Allison and Andy, and that's why Clare offers Allison to get a makeover. I always disliked that they changed Allison's appearance in the end, but I think it's just Clare helping a girl look good to a boy. But this is Clare's perspective. As for Andy, I think it is clear that he began to be curious and attracted to Allison with the appearance that we saw her in throughout the movie. What I can't interpret is what Allison thought when she realized that Andrew was looking at her that way?
She probably thought "wow can a simple makeover really make this much of a difference on how boys see me, and and all of a sudden make boys want me?" something like that.
Claire's looking at Andrew because she's gauging their reaction to her manipulation of Brian. Andrew's not making eye contact with Claire even though he knows what she's up to because he also wants Brian to do the essays. Andrew sneaks looks at Allison because they're both listening to Claire and Brian
@@Matt-cw1mv that's rather over-simplistic, and not really the case. For a girl to help another girl play with her looks is above all an act of sharing, intimacy and connection--what Claire wanted to create was a 'girls' moment', something just for her & Claire to enjoy and be together in without the scrutiny or judgement or intrusion of the three boys.
She acted like she never had eyeliner held up to her eyes before. But she had more eyeliner on her eyes throughout the movie, BEFORE the makeover. Still good though.
@@LuaBarbosa01 Yes! People miss that the biggest act of intimacy in this scene is actually Allison letting Claire close enough to do her makeup, not all the boys looking at her after the makeup was done.

I can keep watching this scene. Every actor, everyone of them is perfect. Every expression whether an eye movement, a smile, any utterance whatever each and everything is simply perfect. I cannot explain more. Thank you to all of these people who made this possible and a great thanks to uploader.
@@autumnemerald1019 I know that. I'm saying that the mascara and pencil barely had any product. I feel like she was putting nothing on her face. She's naturally beautiful ❤.
I hated they gave her makeover by the end of the movie. I don't like that trope when weird/nerdy/tomboy girl gets makeover by the end of the movie and suddenly all people stare at her as a whole new perosn. What was wrong about how she looked before? This always feel to me like secret wish of all these girls is being "normalized". And I think it's wrong message. I think they should be proud about who they are.
If someone makes a huge change to their appearance, I can kind of understand people being like "wtf". But I agree, especially when the love interest only then likes the girl/the girls whole personality changes.
Yeah, and they should be liked JUST as they are..!. the only way I can accept this scene is that it symbolically shows how her unprecedented feeling of connection that she got out of this experience, brightened her up inside and shows on the outside too...
Unlike most people, I've always liked Allison's makeover! As Claire says, she looks better without all that black "stuff" around her eyes, and with her hair slightly tied back. I have no problem with the whole concept of "goth" or anything, but in this case it seemed to represent Allison coming out of her shell! Such a beautiful scene! :)
i would’ve preferred if they had just pulled her hair back and lightened her makeup but still let her keep her clothes cause she seemed more comfortable in them. honestly i just don’t like how they switched her WHOLE look and took all of her own personality out of it
@@darkangel4994 personally I preferred her goth look as well, but it wasn't exactly her personality. Her problem is that people ignore her when she secretly wants attention. Trying something new like this would realistically help her get noticed and the attention she craves due to her parent's neglect
The only way Andrew would be able to date Allison without other people thinking he’s a loser or weirdo is if Allison kept her same appearance at the school and whenever they go out she makes herself look nice what Claire did with her makeup. No body would tell that is Allison in public.
Thanks for uploading. I find myself referencing the scene time & time again. From the sound Allison makes while Claire applied the eye make up and the question: Why Are You Being Nice To Me?
People dislike this scene because it shows that only pretty girls are accepted and basket cases aren’t. But as someone who has been like Allison in the past, I disagree. Allison wasn’t wearing all that “black shit” because she liked the looks. She wore it because she was depressed, unconfident, and lonely. Claire didn’t change Allison’s appearance to make her more acceptable. She changed Allison’s appearance to be more confident. And Andrew didn’t just fall in love with Allison because of her looks. Sure, he was aghast by her beauty after the reveal, but the two really connected before that happened, and Allison’s personality didn’t change whatsoever. Andrew loved her for being herself. I really wish people looked deeper into this instead of just assuming the movie was sending out the wrong message.
I really hate that they changed her look at the end but I really love how they made sure to make it known that Andy liked her before the makeover god they are just so cute together
I like how in movies they expect us to be blown away by the "reveal" of the girl after she's been made up. (Like in "she's all that") It's not earth shattering to see a girl who was obviously already decently attractive/has a pretty face put on some makeup and change her hair.
I think it’s stupid that people think Allison didn’t need to change by getting a makeover. She’s not changing for anyone but the makeover helps transform her making her more confident in her own skin
And her old “goth style” wasn’t even her own style. It was a reflection of her being neglected. She probably wasn’t even happy with the way she dressed. She probably just thought “if my parents don’t care, I don’t care”
Unpopular opinion: I like Allison's make-over. Or not the make-over itself, but that she dared to go through it. I don't see it so much as changing her looks to attract Andrew, so much as learning to seek attention in a healthy manner. Because Allison always craved for attention, only she pretended not to care. Her attire was unassuming but she acted like a basket-case to make people notice her without opening up emotionally, which only created a barrier for herself. Her new outlook, if a bit extreme, reflects she's no longer concealing her inner beauty. I also like it because it showed Claire's growth. She no longer sees her as a weirdo but like a human being. Also, considering that Claire is the most popular girl in the school, the fact that she helps another girl to look beautiful and probably upstage her, shows Claire isn't as shallow as she first appeared to be.
Damn when you think about it, it’s kind of harsh that Brian did everyone the biggest favor, and he is the character that never gets to fall in love. He does all the work, and none of the benefits.
And all the lesbians get disappointed after the makeover. Cool girl transformed into a light pink normie. I seriously don’t know how this look was supposed to look better. Even back then
But she isn’t the “cool girl” or the “goth girl” she wears the clothes cause it reflected how she was ignored and neglected. Her being able to change how she sees herself, and how others see her is very strong and compelling
The way Andrew nodded and answered Brian and then turned his head and looked at Allison...I mean honestly; what I wouldn't do to have someone look at me like that even before the fucking makeover; Ohmigod.
So spouses who text message each other over lunch on 12 hour shifts isn't romantic? Moms who Facebook pictures of brand new babies to their Dads on deployment isn't romantic? Get the F out of here.
What Claire says to convince Brian is manipulative, but I also do think there was genuine admiration in her saying he's smart, and he in turn knew she meant it sincerely. He catches her out in her attempt to coerce him, so she just throws her hands up and gives him the truth of what she perceives and feels about him, which is flattering because from what we know about her clique they don't generally seem to value intelligence or reliability or conscientiousness as personality traits, let alone notice and praise them in others. Maybe Claire wanted Brian to feel like for once he was using his mind and his eloquence for something other than pleasing his parents or avoiding punishment (whether he wrote the paper for the others or not, he'd still have done his own so that he didn't get in more trouble).
I know a lot of us prefer the original style of Allison. The dark, mysterious outsider outfit. But from this makeover I interrupt change, Allison, clearly ignored by her peers and even her family ends up meeting friends on a day that she thought she wouldn’t. Her emotions and feelings about everything also alters and appears to be a lot more inclusive with the gang near the end, the whole point of the makeover is to show a sense of happiness and hope which I find is a beautiful meaning for someone who originally felt like she had little purpose.
@@Draftspike Yes! I know she blinked, but something werid happen with her eye. Try watching the clip in higher res, maybe from netflix, and you'll see.

I like how Allison never breaks character even when she got her make up done. She still kept that awkward personality.
She wasn't used to having attention. She said so herself that her parents ignored her and being neglected can leave you with a personality that doesn't know how to handle social situations.

@@autumnemerald1019 I know that. I'm saying that the mascara and pencil barely had any product. I feel like she was putting nothing on her face. She's naturally beautiful ❤.
Pink Pacific I think it was more to brush them out than apply product
Will always have a soft spot for the 80s. Now and forever. This was the time when we were really free.
It helped that the US had a great, inspirational President during the 1980s in Reagan.
@@stevendrumm4957 The only good thing Reagan ever did was die. And even that he took a decade too long with.
Unless you were gay or ethnic.
Did no one else notice that Claire used the same brush with which Bender was brushing his teeth to do Alison's eyebrows 😂
I notice
I hated they gave her makeover by the end of the movie. I don't like that trope when weird/nerdy/tomboy girl gets makeover by the end of the movie and suddenly all people stare at her as a whole new perosn. What was wrong about how she looked before? This always feel to me like secret wish of all these girls is being "normalized". And I think it's wrong message. I think they should be proud about who they are.
If someone makes a huge change to their appearance, I can kind of understand people being like "wtf". But I agree, especially when the love interest only then likes the girl/the girls whole personality changes.
That’s why Ally Sheedy herself hates this scene
Well, it's the 80s... Not a good excuse but that's what it is. Andrew clearly liked her already and could have kissed her without the makeover
Yeah, and they should be liked JUST as they are..!. the only way I can accept this scene is that it symbolically shows how her unprecedented feeling of connection that she got out of this experience, brightened her up inside and shows on the outside too...
I agreed
Unlike most people, I've always liked Allison's makeover! As Claire says, she looks better without all that black "stuff" around her eyes, and with her hair slightly tied back. I have no problem with the whole concept of "goth" or anything, but in this case it seemed to represent Allison coming out of her shell! Such a beautiful scene! :)
Exactly!
Thank you finally I also love her make over
i would’ve preferred if they had just pulled her hair back and lightened her makeup but still let her keep her clothes cause she seemed more comfortable in them. honestly i just don’t like how they switched her WHOLE look and took all of her own personality out of it
@@darkangel4994 personally I preferred her goth look as well, but it wasn't exactly her personality. Her problem is that people ignore her when she secretly wants attention. Trying something new like this would realistically help her get noticed and the attention she craves due to her parent's neglect
Dark Angel exactly, they turned her into a a Claire clone just for the jock to like her. It’s a horrible makeover.
I love the angry look Allison gives Brian when she thinks he's appalled by her when really he's stunned.
Me, alone in my room watching this and fangirling over them: 4:28
She was so cute as a goth. 😢
One of my favorite scenes 😲...😠...😃”thank you” 😎...😘...”why you do that” ........🤓... 📝 this movie is definitely one of my favorites ❤️
The only way Andrew would be able to date Allison without other people thinking he’s a loser or weirdo is if Allison kept her same appearance at the school and whenever they go out she makes herself look nice what Claire did with her makeup. No body would tell that is Allison in public.
Most young people go through school estranged from their peers, that's why this movie has so much treasure.
This movie is amazing on so many levels, these scenes in particular are so moving...
"Why are you being so nice to me?" "'Cause you're letting me." Words to live by.
That is one hell of a glow up
I always loved that keyboard line when Ally Sheedy first walks out
I dont like how Andrew changed his feeling about allison just cause she got a makeover tho.
iibrxken_aesthetic I think he already had the hots for her, notice how he stares at her and quickly looks away at 0:28
@@carson3140 yea I just hope it's not all about looks.
@@melaniequintanilla4424 alright that's good.
@@melaniequintanilla4424 or maybe the moment, where she suddenly screamed, and he smiled at her😊
He already thought she was pretty.
Fun fact: Ally Sheedy (Alison) hated the transformation
good because i liked her before
Ok but Andrew’s haircut is amazing sorry that’s so random I love this movie it’s one of my favorites but Andrew’s haircut just looks so great
Am I the only one who thought she looked better before?
Thanks for uploading. I find myself referencing the scene time & time again. From the sound Allison makes while Claire applied the eye make up and the question: Why Are You Being Nice To Me?
This movie should be required viewing for every Middle Schooler.
and High Schooler...
Why middle schooler? Lmao
Dear John Hughs, thank you, thank you, thank you! You really captured our hearts so many times with this film and many others.
Ally Sheedy’s smile OMG I just can’t ❤️❤️😍😍😍💗💗
I couldnt get over how gorgeous Allison looked after the make over,
“You lost?” Ugh Judd 🤤🤤
People dislike this scene because it shows that only pretty girls are accepted and basket cases aren’t. But as someone who has been like Allison in the past, I disagree. Allison wasn’t wearing all that “black shit” because she liked the looks. She wore it because she was depressed, unconfident, and lonely. Claire didn’t change Allison’s appearance to make her more acceptable. She changed Allison’s appearance to be more confident. And Andrew didn’t just fall in love with Allison because of her looks. Sure, he was aghast by her beauty after the reveal, but the two really connected before that happened, and Allison’s personality didn’t change whatsoever. Andrew loved her for being herself. I really wish people looked deeper into this instead of just assuming the movie was sending out the wrong message.
💯
Unpopular opinion: The movie didn't need this scene. She looked much better as a goth.
2:39
Allison's new look
I really hate that they changed her look at the end but I really love how they made sure to make it known that Andy liked her before the makeover god they are just so cute together
fell in love with Allison from the very beginning..My kind and would have loved her TDDUP!!
I like how in movies they expect us to be blown away by the "reveal" of the girl after she's been made up. (Like in "she's all that") It's not earth shattering to see a girl who was obviously already decently attractive/has a pretty face put on some makeup and change her hair.
I think it’s stupid that people think Allison didn’t need to change by getting a makeover. She’s not changing for anyone but the makeover helps transform her making her more confident in her own skin
And her old “goth style” wasn’t even her own style. It was a reflection of her being neglected. She probably wasn’t even happy with the way she dressed. She probably just thought “if my parents don’t care, I don’t care”
Just seen this. Love feel good films. OMGss the 80's!
Unpopular opinion: I like Allison's make-over. Or not the make-over itself, but that she dared to go through it. I don't see it so much as changing her looks to attract Andrew, so much as learning to seek attention in a healthy manner. Because Allison always craved for attention, only she pretended not to care. Her attire was unassuming but she acted like a basket-case to make people notice her without opening up emotionally, which only created a barrier for herself. Her new outlook, if a bit extreme, reflects she's no longer concealing her inner beauty.
I also like it because it showed Claire's growth. She no longer sees her as a weirdo but like a human being. Also, considering that Claire is the most popular girl in the school, the fact that she helps another girl to look beautiful and probably upstage her, shows Claire isn't as shallow as she first appeared to be.
THANK YOU. SOMEONE, FINALLY, GETS IT.
my grandpa played in this movie, i love it.
Cool!! Who was your grandpa in the movie?
Who is your grand father? Andrew's father?
Please tell me I’m not the only one who came here for the song 😂😂??
i know! what’s the song tho?
@@lunasorree7177 It's called The Breakfast Club Love Theme, I guess
I know! I was reading comments and I
Couldn’t believe people weren’t talking about how the song is perfect scene
Damn when you think about it, it’s kind of harsh that Brian did everyone the biggest favor, and he is the character that never gets to fall in love. He does all the work, and none of the benefits.
the fact that, that eyebrow brush was used by bender to brush his teeth
Did anyone else notice that she used the eyebrow brush on Alison’s face after Bender brushed his teeth with it?? Hahahahaha
I love this scene iconic💙
So she went from looking pretty timeless of looking like something that would only look good in 1983-1985
I think she could fit in early/mid 60s with this look too
the basket case was the coolest character until the daytime talk-show makeover.
Allison looked much better, mysterious and interesting before the makeover.
this scene completely left my memory
Ally Sheedy in this scene was seriously one of the cutest girls I've ever seen.
And all the lesbians get disappointed after the makeover. Cool girl transformed into a light pink normie. I seriously don’t know how this look was supposed to look better. Even back then
I wanted Clair and Allison to get together smh🥱
But she isn’t the “cool girl” or the “goth girl” she wears the clothes cause it reflected how she was ignored and neglected. Her being able to change how she sees herself, and how others see her is very strong and compelling
The way Andrew nodded and answered Brian and then turned his head and looked at Allison...I mean honestly; what I wouldn't do to have someone look at me like that even before the fucking makeover; Ohmigod.
2:17
John: (to Claire) You lost?
Andrew nods his head yes as he says no
That’s John
I’m so impressed with Ally Sheady’s acting in this movie.
She looked better before.
This is what romance was back in those days...love it. No smartphones, no Facebook, no Twitter, no messaging. So much better and true.
Love hasn't changed that much except people get more dating opportunities and more options to contact their partners
boomer
Falling in love with a stranger in one day? Pfft
So spouses who text message each other over lunch on 12 hour shifts isn't romantic? Moms who Facebook pictures of brand new babies to their Dads on deployment isn't romantic? Get the F out of here.
Love this scene. Allison got dolled up.🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤
I just realized Claire used the same brush on Allison right after John used it to brush his teeth
80s & 90s Movie's Are The Best 👍💯,In My Opinion 😊
The music the 80s movies used was great!
What Claire says to convince Brian is manipulative, but I also do think there was genuine admiration in her saying he's smart, and he in turn knew she meant it sincerely. He catches her out in her attempt to coerce him, so she just throws her hands up and gives him the truth of what she perceives and feels about him, which is flattering because from what we know about her clique they don't generally seem to value intelligence or reliability or conscientiousness as personality traits, let alone notice and praise them in others. Maybe Claire wanted Brian to feel like for once he was using his mind and his eloquence for something other than pleasing his parents or avoiding punishment (whether he wrote the paper for the others or not, he'd still have done his own so that he didn't get in more trouble).
I fell in love with Ally Sheedy from this moment.
They un-emofied her 😔
Allison would fit in today with most teens, her previous style is trendy now. She’s so adorable lol.
I know a lot of us prefer the original style of Allison. The dark, mysterious outsider outfit. But from this makeover I interrupt change, Allison, clearly ignored by her peers and even her family ends up meeting friends on a day that she thought she wouldn’t. Her emotions and feelings about everything also alters and appears to be a lot more inclusive with the gang near the end, the whole point of the makeover is to show a sense of happiness and hope which I find is a beautiful meaning for someone who originally felt like she had little purpose.
Allison is SO pretty with her new makeover
0:58 Does anybody of you notice anything weird with Allison's right eye? looks like a reptile. I just noticed in the movie too.
She blinked....
@@Draftspike Yes! I know she blinked, but something werid happen with her eye. Try watching the clip in higher res, maybe from netflix, and you'll see.
Shes a reptilian
