I truly hated this movie. Among John Hughes worst films.

Honestly this movie was really ahead of its time and this really speaks volume to a lot of generational trauma we are facing today in 2024.

I was only 3 months old when The Breakfast Club was first released. I only saw it for the first time round about 2 or 3 years back and instantly loved it and related to it. It's now one of my favourite movies of all time. I watch it at least 2 or 3 times a year now and probably will till the day I die.

The thing about John Hughes films is how they all are usually very funny but also manage to hit you in the feels and bring some truth to you. And they are almost all set over the course of only one day or a couple of days or maybe a week at most.(Ferris Bueller, Breakfast Club-1 day), Planes Trains and Automobiles(2-3 days), National Lampoons Vacation and Christmas Vacation, Home Alone, Uncle Buck, The Great Outdoors(1-2weeks).

Matt Groening was a fan of the movie. Bender from the movie is the inspiration for Bender in Futurama. Nelson on the Simpsons is too since Judd Nelson was the actor that played Bender. "Eat my shorts" was said by Bender before Bart Simpson ever said it.

Now I'm thinking of a sequel... maybe ten years later, where they are in life, and if Bender's in a better place then the shitty life Mr. Vernon described. Kinda an actor's reunion.

I think you're sending a somewhat dangerous message. To answer your question; no the ends don't justify the means. No one deserves abuse to the point of killing themselves to try and aspire to greatness. Greatness can be attained without that. Despite the editing of the film and the acting, I don't think this movie is really good, and I think it's simply a dark mirror of something. The director brings up his high school jazz teacher and said let's make a movie, but even I think it wasn't. this bad.

Remember the folder Andrew lost before the concert well I think they were the same sheets on the final concert, so this means Fletcher stole them on purpose

Andrew's only validation for jazz now is through fletcher. Fletcher carries a Machivellian outlook. Fletcher doesnt feel bad about his methods because in his mind the end will fit the means of his style of teaching. He warped andrews mind to his methods.

Fletcher really wanted Andrew to succeed the entire time. He referenced the kid that died who he wasn't that great but saw a drive in him. Fletcher also mentioned he invited "Connor" to play in the studio band also, but to only encourage Andrew further. Not long after Andrew tackled Fletcher, an annonomus person came forward with claims of abusive techniques, obviously Fletcher knew it was Andrew. The revenge embarrassment concert situation even further motivated Andrew. Referencing to the bar scene when Fletcher said something like nothing could discourage Charlie Parker. In the end Fletcher succeeded in pushing a student so far to become great. Proving his teaching technique was worth it, hence the two locking eyes at the end both grinning.

Whilst I understand Andrew's struggle, I think the reason that he and Fletcher fell out in the first place is simply because Fletcher didn't treat Andrew like the legend he thought he was. You have to break down to build up again, and that was the dynamic they had.

I had a harsh band teacher in high-school that was abusive but had a filter. He made a lot of people in the band exceed beyond what normal high school bands usually accomplish. He would single me out and humuliate me if I made a simple mistake, but I was actually really good as a freshman. I at the time was going through my own problems and didn't have a drive to pursue music so it didn't really matter to me. Watching this made me kinda flash back to those days and it makes me desire to pursue music under him. Kinda twisted, I guess that's what abuse does? Just found it interesting and I thought I should share.

I thank you for sharing this, is this common u think for music classes in general? When I first saw it, I also got this feeling of wanting to pursue something, no matter the consequences. I used to play competetively online in gaming and I got some problems along side it ofcourse. My friend told me that I was just a sweaty loser who would never do any of these ordinary things that are healthy for u as a human being, such as hanging out or stuff like that. And while he was an asshole, I get his point and im past that. Though when ur in that state, u only aim for greatness, and theres something I love about that state of mind even though I know its bad. This movie had a sense... of total genius madness I guess u could call it. It was almost inhuman, which brought the most romantic idea of "greatness mindset" I think I will ever witness to see. The only person I really know of that had this inhuman genius greatness, was bobby fischer who got crazy because of chess

Back when I was in 10th grade, I was in the wrestling class. I was only approximately 120 Ibs at the time and underweight. One day early in the season, my collarbone and ribcage became misaligned. My arms horizontal movement became restricted due to the pain. I asked everyone; my coach, my teachers, my parents to help me see a Chiropractor. No one took me seriously. Because of this injury which I was forced to wrestle with or fail the class, I never won a single match. I felt absolutely devastated. I refuse to see this movie because I am afraid of reliving my own tr@uma. It’s because of this tr@uma I fail to understand how so many people including Chris Stuckmann can praise a work like this, and because I fail to understand I feel weak, incompetent, and outcast. Sometimes I feel like all the critics are begging me to see it else I’m missing out on something great; the performance of a lifetime. Is it okay to feel deathly afraid of a film such as this?

ur a human being, nothing that u feel is somehow just "not okay". There is a reason u feel this way, your brain and behaviour has accorded to past experiences so ofcourse its okay. I just dont see why u would feel weak from not understanding why people think this movie is good. Watch it if u want, but it is not some "must watch" if you feel like you shouldnt. It is a quite anxious movie to watch

Ok. Greatness was produced. But what kind? The kind that is measured against objective standards. That’s the opposite of what art is about. There are athletic elements to art, to be sure, but to focus on hitting the drums precisely under the control of another is only part of the picture. What about the part of art that creeps in from the edges and demands that we stay open to it, turning towards it only when it has fully crystallized? If you train like this, you will turn towards the idea as soon as a hint of it appears, and you will beat the idea down until it takes on the appearance of what has been previously lauded as greatness. Art demands sensitivity. This kind of training diminishes sensitivity, diminishing the importance of inner thoughts and feelings for the sake of what is immediately translatable into externalized expression. The very source of creativity is crushed by the need for external validation and external motivation.

Honestly, my biggest problem with the movie is the Principal character. He just feels like too much of a jackass: berating and chastising the kids for really no reason, threatening to beat the shit out of Bender when he finds him on the street in the future and piss on his grave, and all just because he's "afraid of how these are the guys who're gonna take care of me". It just feels too mean-spirited, and honestly sort of spoils the whole film for me (though I do really enjoy all the interactions between the main quintet).

I think this would be an incredible series in netflix or something. You can tell all their stories from three different stages. The next day the years in between and today. That way none of the material would get old. It could be a layered very stories of 30 years of telling retelling and with different narrations from each character.

I just couldn't buy into this film because the character of Fletcher was just too over the top, to the point of being ridiculous. That type of overt, hyper aggressive behavior from a teacher wouldn't be tolerated very long at any school for very long.

He hasn't been kicked out because no one reports him as the person above me said. If someone was to report him, it would lead to embarrassment from peers for "not being good enough" or anger his fellow bandmates who perhaps were doing well in his band, as well as knowing that Fletcher will come for them if they're ever caught. There's also the idea that the students accept or even share is ideology that what he's doing is all necessary to be the best. This is evident since any of them could just easily quit, yet they endure his abuse for the sake of music.
