[The Breakfast Club]

[(Anonymous)]

In all fairness, it's been... a looooong time since I've watched this, so you can correct me if I am wrong, but I don't remember him being more than the typical teenage jerk? Is that now unredeemable?

[(Anonymous)]

There is a scene where, while hiding under a table he reaches up Claire’s skirt and gropes her, which I assume is part of what aged badly for OP

[(Anonymous)]

He's rather ugly to her verbally as well, though I guess some of that could count as being a typical teenage jerk. I do think one or two things cross the line though.

[(Anonymous)]

I think maybe the line for what's a typical teenage jerk has changed.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh no, he's more than the typical teenage jerk. At one point early on in the movie, he suggests they all lock the doors and gang rape Claire. He's disgustingly awful to her and he's not much better to Brian.

[(Anonymous)]

I... missed that part?

[(Anonymous)]

Well, he uses the term "impregnate" and refers to Claire as the prom queen.

[(Anonymous)]

Funny I don't remember that, but I do remember him being awful to Brian.

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't like him in the 80s. I felt like he was just an unpleasant person and I didn't want Claire to be with him either.

[(Anonymous)]

At a certain point, I think it's just a reality that the mores and norms of 80s pop culture were still really, really shitty a lot of the time. And then, obviously, it's up to you whether you want to still engage with stuff from the period, or not. But it's far from unique to Breakfast Club.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, a lot of the stuff from the 80s is just...something else.

[(Anonymous)]

B-O-O H-O-O

[(Anonymous)]

Kind of missed the point of the movie- all or them were assholes. Except Allison.

[(Anonymous)]

I think that's true but was it actually the point of the movie?

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt - Nope. Ayrt is the one missing the point if they believe "they're all assholes" was the message.

[(Anonymous)]

Ayrt has the right point.

[rosehiptea]

I thought they were all assholes but that the point of the movie is that anything they did wrong was the fault of their parents because kids are just great and full of love unlike adults. But I only saw the movie once and that was back in the 80s when it came out so I'm willing to admit I could be wrong.

[(Anonymous)]

The kids were assholes, they were even honest about it, about the shit they did to each other. The janitor even calls them out on it, about the shit he sees every day in the school halls.

I don't know how many times I've seen the movie. I was in school when the movie came out and it was pretty true in many ways.

She was kind of an asshole to Claire.

[(Anonymous)]

When they're talking in the circle about virginity.

[(Anonymous)]

Noting that one character was an asshole doesn't mean OP believes the rest of the characters are angels, nonny.

[(Anonymous)]

I watched the movie as an adult, so I definitely thought he was an asshole who didn't deserve Claire, but if I'd seen the move in my teens, I definitely would've fallen in love with him. I was into those types of characters when I was younger. Looking back, I have no idea what teen me was thinking.

[(Anonymous)]

Considering how many people around these parts were Billy fangirls back when people still talked about Stranger Things, I'd guess there's still plenty of love for John Bender out there. He didn't try to murder any kids, anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

well with the optics of this how he was up Claire skirt under the table , i think all the movies from the 80s are ruined molly ringwald has even said that she is saddend watching all the 80s movies she was in and how they treat women

[(Anonymous)]

honestly i prefer him to the guy who rented out his girlfriend in sixteen candles.
