The Breakfast Club

Just watched The Breakfast Club.. Such an iconic cult film.. :P Not to mention the title song is awesomeness! The whole story basically unfolds in the library of the school where five kids, each from a different clique, are serving detention. They are told to each write an essay on who they really are. Eventually, they start talking to each other start opening up and sharing secrets. Some of the scenes are very intense and emotional. But they are afraid that once detention is over, they will each go back to their different worlds. In the end, Brian hands up an essay for all of them..

Brian Johnson: Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. And what we did was wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. What do you care? You see us as you want to see us... In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain...
Andrew Clark: ...and an athlete...
Allison Reynolds: ...and a basket case...
Claire Standish: ...a princess...
John Bender: ...and a criminal...
Brian Johnson: Does that answer your question?... Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club.
