The historical text i have chosen to analysis for my independent studies is the Breakfast club...
TITLE: The Breakfast Club
YEAR OF RELEASE: 1985
DIRECTOR: John Hughes
STARRING: Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall, Ally Sheedy, Paul Gleeson, John Kapelos
TAGLINE: They only met once, but it changed their lives forever....
"The Breakfast Club" written & directed by master filmmaker John Hughes is a thought provoking character study about 5 high school students on Saturday detention in the school library. It is considered by many fans to be the greatest teen film of the 1980's, mainly because the feelings & emotions of its characters ring true.
The five students come from different backgrounds, each with their own unique personality. The talented young cast are successful in making their amazing characters come to life, John Bender the criminal (Judd Nelson), Alison the weirdo (Ally Sheedy), Brian the brain (Anthony Michael Hall), Andrew the athlete (Emilio Estevez), & Claire the popular prom queen (Molly Ringwald).
All the actors in the film turn their characters into something more than thinly guised charicatures, they become 3 demensional & their feelings & emotions are explained. Judd Nelson stands out in the more meaty role of troubled teen John Bender. His portrayal is truly electrifying.
The film ends with the John Bender character (Judd Nelson) triumphantly punching the air, symbolizing a positive progression of his character. "The Breakfast Club" is the quintessential 80's teen classic. It usually ranks in most people's top 5 list. It is brilliantly directed by John Hughes, the king of quality teen films & wonderfully acted by a professional young cast. If you haven't seen it, rent it or buy it today & witness for yourself, the power of the film that spoke to the teen generation of the 80's.
The film is similar to my independent studies as it is based in the same setting, at high school...
it has same same target audience, uses same conventions as in many teen movies... as mean girls uses many emotions break fast club use similar methods of portraying each characters persona's... along with all the social values , beliefs and morals that the films try to show to the audience... as well as it shows how teenage girls have changed compared to today's society...
