[@codename617]

***** It's fun to think about, but I actually honestly cannot see a remake of this movie coming out as nicely as the original. These days the studios just take stuff that is already out there and they either adapt it or remake it into something that fans of the original end up hating and might only get new fans if they're lucky like Resident Evil or Mission Impossible. A Breakfast Club remake would mean having to come up with a new soundtrack and maybe even new songs. Also it could end up being a joke or a parody which and what if all the awesome tense and serious material gets turned down. I have to agree. This movie is a classic and it has and it will continue to stand the test of time. It has even influenced the characters of my comic.

This film just couldnt be remade now. It wouldnt work - it captured a time when that idea was original and new, and no netflix, cgi, terrorism, and internet. But leave this alone - films often are labelled classics - all too often. This is a classic. Leave it alone. Its a white character film - its not racist - if we had black people in it - then the wannabe racists police would say "hey, you have black people in detention. thats racist and creating a sterotype". Simply - its not relevant no blacks in it - what so ever. Its just white kids in a school which millions of people can identify with and for those where about there age back then - like myself - connect with it powerfully. Rant over - dont even dare try to remake this.

cqtaylor So what's your point? There were FIVE detention students...not half the school. Statistics allow it. Nevertheless, the typical detention student is definitely NOT as interesting as the cast. My point is that this is a great movie and I'm tired of forced diversity.

[@ZoeTheCat]

cqtaylor You must be very young or very naive. Try the YT video "Cannibal warlords of Liberia." 100% Black. Go have a taste of that 'diversity' and tell me what you think ;-) After that, go Google search how post-apartheid is working out in South Africa. (Hint - it's not good).

No, there's nothing wrong with an all white cast, but there's nothing wrong with a diverse class either.

Heck, my Algebra I I teacher had an accent so thick it took two weeks before I understood a word he said

[@rosevita8041]

You know, it just occurred to me, that the real message in the movie is stated in the theme song, "Don't You Forget About Me." It is about diversity in that the message is that we're really not so different from that other guy after all.

I’m sorry, but I didn’t protest when they remade Shaft with Samuel L.

[@deasiabrannon805]

That's stupid

[@russg1801]

If the characters had been of mixed races, the conflict would have taken on the tones of a race war. This movie was about teenage angst, not the civil rights movement or school integration. That being said, it still sucked. The school was big enough for these five students not to know each other, yet ONLY five students were sentenced to a (highly improbable!] Saturday detention? Show me a public high school, anywhere, any decade, where that happened.

[@Algernon7]

the high-school I graduated at had Saturday detention and it was a shitty enough punishment that most people figured out how not to get caught. I think for the time 5 people was a perfect number because it showed the major stereotypes of students in the 80's. No need to get so angry over a movie, so what if it's a little improbable, it's for your entertainment and not to be seriously analysed like you're doing.

[@brettmastema7056]

+Orion Xavier are you worried that you may find that other races may at their core be just like you and want the same things in life? why does diversity scare you?

[@brettmastema7056]

which is why they said not a remake but something inspired by would be better. But it seems you then are afraid to find that you may find that you and a "transgender, queer, or lesbian" may turn out to be at their core be just as good as you. If it doesn't you may want to stop calling people queer, since it's considered a negative slur. Gay males are usually fine with gay. While there are a few gays that are outspoken on that word, it's not how most would take it.

[@bnsyphotography2104]

It doesn't matter about race or culture. People no matter where they're from can still like the movie and relate to it. Just because the cast wasn't a mixture of races, doesn't mean people can't relate to the characters. Skin colour is just skin colour; the personalities is what we share. And we don't have to in every movie or show, videogame etc. have to "represent" every culture or skin colour. Because if we did, there'd be thousands of characters appearing in it. There are 1000s of cultures and different skin colours out there; it'd be impossible to include everyone. It's just a stupid idea. Just make characters well written, instead of making it all about inclusivity all the time. And by far, going along with that whole inclusive route is the reason most movies, shows and videogames fail today; as the directors and writers are focusing more on their skin colour than good character arcs and story telling.@@crackawood

You should remake something because you can either execute it differently or better. Remaking something for the sake of making it more diverse is just as pointless as remaking something so you can make the special effects better. If you can't do what really matters better ( things that matter being character, story, tone and meaning ) just don't bother. I always thought a semi-sequel to The Breakfast Club would be cool to tackle other cliques that weren't addressed in the first one. But nowadays it would be the gay kid, the transgendered kid, the white girl that accepts them (and probably has anxiety disorder and depression), the black kid, the white cis-gendered male shitlord bully, you get my point. Doing that isn't being diverse, it's pandering.

[@MST3Killa]

Yup. because I've never watched the movie and said, "it's too white". I don't watch movies in this bizarre racial lens. I watched Bad Boys and didn't think I needed WIll Smith to be a white guy (besides, that'd just be Lethal Weapon). Or Friday, or Boyz in the Hood, or a whole host of movies... I (a white guy) don't need to be in them, I don't need to see myself racially to connect with a character. Hell, am I not allowed to enjoy great Japanese or Korean films because they don't have white people in them? ...Nope. And yet amazingly, I still find common ground with the CHARACTERS because they're more than just their race. Seven Samurai? WHERE'S THE WHITE PEOPLE AT!? ... Idiocy.

[@finster1968]

@@MST3Killa & Jon San - I agree 100%. I love both their acting skills, but what a ridiculous remark. A “bizarre racial lens” is an excellent description. It shouldn’t matter one bit if the cast is all one race or mixed. The whole point is that kids feel pressure and/or are bullied no matter what walk of life they come from. If you didn’t take that message away from this movie, you missed the whole lesson. We already had people in Breakfast Club who were less privileged than the others. There would still be complaints if they decided to cast a minority in the role of the criminal. Or, as the rich princess. I can just hear it….One scenario is racist. And the other scenario is not realistic and doesn’t address “white privilege.” You can’t win with these people either way.

[@vogmar1]

[@robertisham5279]

@TheRapper10000 That's why there should be no remake.

[@GuitarHeroPhenomSux]

Okay, so if you were going to add "diversity" to a possible remake, which stereotypes would the black, hispanic & asian characters be? You can't make Bender or Andrew black or hispanic because that's racist. And you can't make Brian or Allison asian because that's also racist. Claire can't be anything but white unless you made the entire movie a full black cast like Soul Plane or something. Geez, weren't times better when people didn't get offended so easily? Or felt like films needed to include every race, sex, and belief to unrealistically "diversify" such a small cast just so nobody feels left out? Funny how you only hear this "diversity" nonsense by Hollywood and the media. I've worked in many places, attended many schools, and lived in many communities where whites outnumber blacks by like 30:1 and I still have yet to hear anyone cry about there not being enough diversity. I've even walked freely in predominately black areas many times as the only white guy and never felt or heard one thing about racism. Hollywood keeps people stirred up with their make believe controversies.

One of my favorite classics!

[@BerettaM9USAF]

I was 16 [same age as two of the actors] when is was released in '85. It is a classic coming of age film. The whole diversity thing resonates as fake P.C. to me. Sure FFW to 2017 and lets have every possible teen social niche represented in every possible color and sexual preference variation possible...the cast would need to be about 40 kids, fun story line that would be. There have been countless TV/motion pictures inspired by this and other films that were 'more' diverse. One that comes to mind was DeGrassi High that ran for about two seasons in the early 90's and saw syndication for some time after that...You have to understand the single focus of the film was not about race but social standing; that actually transcends many of the other parts of a teens life of nearly every/any era. That seemingly five 'white' kids who outwardly appear similar could not me more different. You could cast an all black, brown or Asian cast and nearly the same message would resonate. Being a teen is not an easy journey.

[@jedijones]

Yes, human emotions are not based on race. To say someone who's not white can't relate to this movie is like saying that white people shouldn't try to relate to Do the Right Thing. What a sad commentary on people's ability to have empathy that would be.

[@robertisham5279]

Yep diversity is a weakness. Homogeneity is a strength. Anyways there is more to diversity than different races. They were pretty diverse as it was and I don't mean racially. But diverse backgrounds, upbringings, home and family lives and cliques the list goes on. They've got plenty of diversity as it is without bringing people of different races. They've got more than enough diversity as it is.

[@Tr0nzoid]

Oh jeez. Just because it doesn't have an ethnically diverse cast doesn't mean it doesn't speak to everyone who ever went to school. We all experienced the same social and family situations described in this movie. That kind of comment just asks for more tokenism in movies. The same script could be made with an ethnically diverse cast; we're not just sitting around talking about race all the time and aren't so narrowminded that we feel we need to see someone "like us" to relate.

They think it's being virtuous, like they'll be hailed as heroes, but the reality is the vast majority are so far beyond them in terms of race relations that this kind of attitude seems horribly primitive. "We gotta get a BLACK ONE in there somehow!" ....sounds pretty shit, doesn't it? I think so.

I loved that the cast was all white, all working-class (except one) and were typical kids-bullshit teenagers. Why?? Because that WAS highschool in the 80s for me. Thats the kind of people I hanged out with, and their problems were very similar as in Breakfast Club. Forced "blackification" would be terrible. Like portraying a lot of pastry white kids in a movie about ghettos. Misplaced deluxe. The youth and the 80s-culture I grew up in was partially mirrored in movies like "Ferris Buelers day off", "Pretty in Pink" and "Footlose". They already destroyed Footlose by making it "diverse", so why destroy the rest? Let it be.

[@christinacascadilla4473]

Fun facts for those who don’t know much about the movie’s background. Ronald Reagan was the first choice to play Vernon, but a meeting with Mikhail Gorbachev conflicted with the shooting schedule and he could not accept the role. In Reagan’s autobiography, An American Life, he calls this “The biggest regret of my life.” Harvey Keitel was the next pick, but after reading the script he told John Hughes that he’d only play the role if he could dress in the same clothes he wore in “Taxi Driver.” So Paul Gleason, son of Jackie Gleason, won the role. During shooting he improvised the movie’s most famous line, “Yo Sal, how come there ain’t no brothers up on the wall?” The role Anthony Michael Hall played was originally written for a chimpanzee. Eric Stolz was originally cast as Bender, then halfway through filming John Hughes realized he wasn’t menacing enough and fired him. But you can still see glimpses of Stolz in the movie. That is his head between Molly Ringwald’s knees. And Hughes wanted Justine Bateman as the Claire character, but Gary David Goldberg would not give her the time off needed to film the movie. Filming was delayed for six months because of a typhoon. Emilio Estevez suffered a heart attack right before shooting began, also delaying the shooting schedule. The five students were originally supposed to serve their detention in the school cafeteria, locked into the walk-in refrigerator, but then producers were worried that children would try to copy the movie and lock themselves into their refrigerators at home, then suffocate. The exterior scenes were shot at a suburban high school right outside of Chicago, but the library scenes were filmed at the Princeton University library, which is mostly underground and that’s why you see no windows in the movie’s library. Harvard University refused permission to film the dance scene there, so it was done at Oxford in England. Judd Nelson went undercover as a high school student at a local high school because seven years after graduating from a high school in Maine he had no memory of what high school was like, and found he liked it so much that he stayed at that high school after filming and four years later graduated as their Valedictorian. No one at that school ever realized he was an actor and not a student, even though he had been in three movies before “The Breakfast Club.”
