It\u2019s something I even thought about in high school. To what extend do (artificial?) social boundaries prevent people from understanding each other\u2019s true personalities? It\u2019s especially interesting in the pre diversity 80s. What causes a group of people of the same race to create such distinct and hostile hierarchies?<\/p>\n<p>My interest was more about the exploration of different personality types, however \u201cThe Breakfast Club\u201d is ultimately a subversive and moralistic film. A lot of it\u2019s charm has become cringe over time but the characters are still likeable and relatable. The \u201cgroup therapy\u201d climax of the film is a very powerful and emotional scene that captures the extreme intensity between the \u201ccool kids\u201d and the \u201cfreaks and weirdos\u201d. It\u2019s packed with moral judgments about hierarchy, friendship, and humanity.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-113410\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mindseyemag.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-04T150400.519.png?resize=640%2C446&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mindseyemag.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-04T150400.519.png?resize=300%2C209&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mindseyemag.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-04T150400.519.png?resize=1024%2C715&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mindseyemag.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-04T150400.519.png?resize=768%2C536&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mindseyemag.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-04T150400.519.png?w=1145&amp;ssl=1 1145w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After the members of the group become friends, the nerdy kid, Brian, asks \u201cWhat happens to us on Monday?\u201d when they\u2019re all back together at school, back to their usual friend group\/ social caste. \u201cI consider you guys my friends&#8230; I\u2019m not wrong, am I?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Claire, the popular girl, responds with brutal honesty. \u201cOh, be honest, Andy&#8230;if Brian came walking up to you in the hall on Monday, what would you do?

Andy, the jock, engages in cruel acts because his father doesn\u2019t like weakness. Brian attempts suicide because his parents demand perfection from his grades. The true villian of the film seems to be pressure itself. But was Claire ever proven wrong? \u201cYour friends wouldn&#8217;t mind because they look up to us\u201d. Brian and his friends would love to be like Andy or Claire if they had the power to be so. The judgment that he casts upon them comes from a place of powerlessness. \u201cAllison and I are better people than you guys\u201d. His sense of good and bad is completely defined by the strong and the powerless.<\/p>\n<p>Allison doesn\u2019t have any friends but she says if she did she wouldn\u2019t have this sense of hierarchy. She would be \u201cbetter\u201d than that. She and Brian are part of the Chandala, non-caste multitude. Allison could try to be less cold toward people- surely there are other lonely people at her school that she could be friends with. For her and Brian to say \u201cif I had power, I would not be conceited\u201d is pure cope- a moral fiction constructed by the powerless as a form of resentment.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-113413\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mindseyemag.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2022.02.05-04.43-boundingintocomics-61fe0072a4348.webp?resize=640%2C341&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mindseyemag.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2022.02.05-04.43-boundingintocomics-61fe0072a4348.webp?resize=300%2C160&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mindseyemag.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2022.02.05-04.43-boundingintocomics-61fe0072a4348.webp?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Everyone in the group is given a moment of pity for their suffering accept for Claire.

The ending leaves one depressed. What have the kids learned and what will really happen when they go back to school on Monday? It leaves us unsatisfied. The weird kids hook up with the cool kids as a defiance of sexual\/ social expectations. The jock becomes a moralist, the popular girl is guilt tripped, the sigma becomes a pussy, the weird girl becomes more extroverted, and the nerd remains a lonely dork. A more Nietzschean ending may have gone like this.<\/p>\n<p>Andy the jock maintains his strength. He recognizes that petty cruelty and bullying are ignoble and regains his feeling of power by finding his own goals, away from the pressure of his father.<\/p>\n<p>Bender the sigma gains a sense of nobility and channels his strength into something higher, rather than being self indulgent and rebellious.<\/p>\n<p>Allison the basket case, like in the film, becomes more feminine and sociable. She is more quiet and introverted and not so eccentric when she opens up to the others. Her arc is more about overcoming the neglect and loneliness of her childhood.<\/p>\n<p>Brian the nerd learns to overcome his autism and feelings of resentment that come from powerlessness. He would be inspired by Andy and Bender to find a sense of egoism and will and develop himself into something strong-utilizing his intellect toward something he\u2019s passionate about.<\/p>\n<p>Claire, the princess, would learn to lighten up and become more free spirited. Rather than simply being \u201crebellious\u201d and defying hierarchy, she can discover her own ego and sensuality through her strength. She maintains her honesty about the realities of social status and hierarchy, but recognizes that spontaneity and creativity are the real indications of power.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"
