John Hughes Tribute: 2010 Oscars

[@cbaile]

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

[@diornotwar123]

it wasn't a bad line, but i don't understand the popularity of it...

[@isabellefoti]

"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.

John Hughes is the king of coming-of-age-dramas. No-one can ever come close to what he created.

[@cHeStEr5434]

You gotta admit, he became a sellout in his later career.

[@victoriaodegaard1]

cHeStEr5434 You gotta admit, you're ruining all these people's comments with negativity. John Hughes was a genius and ur a troll

[@cHeStEr5434]

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]

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]

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.

[@n1c.r4ym4n]

Gotta love John Hughes' films. They're like windows to the 80s.

[@RockRobster71]

Well said.........or rear view mirrors for those of us who were lucky to be there...either way he captured that period on film perfectly. I hope every generation watches and enjoys his work

[@codename617]

RockRobster71 Well I think his movies are about more than a generation. I think they capture human beings as who we are and who we could be and I hope every generation will be able to see that reflection when they watch a John Hughes movie.

Hope I can be half as good as he is considering where teenagers are now compared to where my generation was after he was done writing Teen Comedies after Pretty In Pink. Then he wrote Uncle Buck and Home Alone 1 and 2.

[@sugarandspice4815]

3:08 "You're only 18 years old--" "And then I'm 19, and then I'm 20! when does my life belong to me?!?!" John Hughes was able to speak to something inside everyone, in a way that I haven't seen matched today. His work really was brilliant.

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 🙏

[@SX-sv6vo]

He was only 59 when he passed. I'm almost 50 now having grown up with his movies. I'm reading his biography right now and it stated that despite his success, fatherhood was the most important thing in his life. He never succumbed or fit into Hollywood. John Hughes, you served your purpose and God took you Home early.❤ Thanks for all the memories.

[@davcaefasdf]

"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.

[@sharonmathews7203]

But we have to keep an open-heart. Love is all there is. Even with pain we grow.

[@manuelorozco7760]

[@Theocracy8]

[@erauprcwa]

Reminds me of the scene in "Home Alone 2" where Kevin is talking to the homeless lady about love and loss. He tells her that she needs to let people in, even if she gets hurt, because at least you know that your heart still works... or something to that effect.

[@MPDLR]

I believe this - - but to an extent. YES, I believe as you get old your heart dies....HOWEVER, some of that is not due to evil intent, but reality. 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.

I had the pleasure of meeting him once in a bookstore close to his home in 1987 and he took 15 minutes out of his time to talk to me about film making ( I was a film student at Columbia at the time). he told me he had never been on a movie set before Sixteen Candles and didn't know the first thing about directing. But he still gave me the BEST piece of advice I think I've ever gotten. He told me " Don't get bogged down in the technicalities of film making, rely on the experience of your crew for that. Focus instead on your story and characters because a film might be poorly shot but if it's nicely written and the audience wont know and better still, won't care".... R.I.P John....

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.

"Do you think I'm gonna be happy, I mean honestly?" "You wanna be a writer, you wanna be a husband. Maybe it'll work out, who knows?" "Yah you'll be happy, you just won't know it that's all."

+Max Flanagan Little moments of truth. John Hughes could always find them in his films. Disguised by slapstick, broad comedy or punchlines, he still found truth in the moments. 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.

You'll be happy, you just won't know it Humbly brilliant line. We are "happy" as adults but deep down there are those unrealized dreams and unsatisfying endings. But we are clinically "happy."

Most of the movies that he directed or wrote were fantastic and will be remembered for decades to come like The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Home Alone, Pretty In Pink and Planes, Trains and Automobiles. He also has some underrated gems like Sixteen Candles and Some Kind Of Wonderful to his name. He is an amazing writer, producer amd director and people who are looking to make a start in the film industry should see much of his work.

Chokes me up whenever I watch it. Brings back great film memories. The man had the gift.

[@angelahoyle9136]

These movies got me thru my teenage years living in a toxic, dysfunctional home. I watched them all with my son and daughter when they were teenagers and they loved them just as much as I did. These movies are classic and timeless. They will never age just like the genius who wrote them. Thank you John Hughes for everything.

I was born in 89, always fascinated with every one of his films. Also many other 80s classics of every gene. I feel like I’ve lived a double life, I can literally put myself in so many of his characters shoes. Something I think about often being an artist who is stuck in the past.

[@ACF5074]

John Hughes was a gifted filmmaker whose' work has stood the test of time, and they always will. Thank you, John. Your impact on the world through film is truly unique. We'll always miss the further amazing work you might have done - and thank you for the ways you touched my childhood...

[@Armoured.Goomba]

Still watching loving and enjoying his films July 2017👍

[@Orion3741]

A moving tribute. He touched the lives of those in the acting fraternity. And gave them a chance in life. The film Planes, Trains, and Automobiles was a gem. I miss John Candy. And I miss John Hughes.

[@R_Grimm_]

I miss John Hughes, this was just heartbreaking. Truely the voice of a generation and many to come.

[@xTheFly]

Growing up in the 80s I saw so many of his movies and honestly I didn't realize at the time these were all created by John Hughes. There are soundtracks to our lives through music. His movies were a snapshot of our lives in the 80s. What an incredibly talented man.

3:08 "You're only 18 years old--" "And then I'm 19, and then I'm 20! When does my life belong to me?!?!?!" Although his movies were never the type to win Oscars, John Hughes really spoke to something inside everyone. He had a talent for reaching the inner struggles of people and bringing them to life on screen- with honest somplicity--something I really haven't seen since.
