The Breakfast Club and Popcorn
Late August and September are when children go back to school. We have picked a movie that fits with this time of year. It is a John Hughes’ film, “The Breakfast Club.” This year is the 30th anniversary of when this film opened. This film teaches us that just because you think someone is different that you doesn’t mean they are.
The Breakfast Club takes place at Shermer High School in Shermer, Illinois. One Saturday Morning in March,
five teens have detention at the high school. These teens have nothing in common because they are all from different cliques at the school. There is Claire Standish (Molly Ringwald) who is the snooty rich girl. Andrew Clarke (Emilio Estevez) who is the championship wrestler. Brian Johnson (Anthony Michael Hall), he is the straight “A” student. Allison Reynolds (Ally Sheedy), she is an extremely shy outcast girl. Last but not least there is John Bender (Judd Nelson). He is the typical bad boy. Then there is the very strict Assistant Principal Richard Vernon (Paul Gleason). He is in charge of detention. He still has a lot to learn about kids. As the day progresses these teens find out how much they really do have in common.
Just get out the popcorn and enjoy the movie. What is your favorite type of popcorn? Just plain or with tons of butter? Maybe you like caramel popcorn. Do you microwave your popcorn or have an air popper? Maybe you use Jiffy Pop? When you eat popcorn when watching movies what do you like? Let us know.
