Re: Episode morals that make you mad?

I never like how at the end of The Breakfast Club the Ally Sheedy character (the "Basket Case") had to change the way she looked. It's one thing for a loner to learn to open up, let other people in, and make friends - and the ability to be friends with people they percieved as being of different "tribes" was a lesson all the characters had to learn - but quite another for her and her alone to get a makeover and wear a different top, as if the problem was that she was just ignorant about how to present herself. None of the others had to change that way. The "Criminal" didn't have to change his appearance for the "Princess" or vice-versa. The "Brain" didn't have to change his look to be accepted. I don't expect the "Jock" to have necessarily been attracted to her without the change because we can't help what we find attractive, but I wish they'd let her stay her semi-goth self.

Ugh, yes. I really feel like that sort of cuts the movie's underlying message off at the knees. "Don't judge people so harshly based on how they dress or who they hang out with, they're going through the same shit you are! Wait, not you, Allison, you really need to get some better clothes, godddammit."

It bothers me in Grease as well, but at least there it's both of them demonstrating that they're willing to change for each other, instead of just the girl changing to impress the guy.

what bothered me was that in the end every character went their way and never tried to maintain the friendships. I can totally see them pretending they don't know each other later on

"yeah, open up to those different than you, kids, share experiences, but then go back to the same thing of every day! LOSERS AND POPULARS SHALL NEVER EVER MIX YOU HEAR ME KIDS"
