The breakfast club gay character

I have a love-hate relationship with this film. That is Allison. Wearing a big heavy coat, scribbling and doodling away on a pad, feeling isolated from the other kids. Indeed the entire plot is five teenagers in detention. It is more to do with the personalities of the characters. They all fit classic high school stereotypes.

The main focus of the film is the clashing, contrasting personalities and them all learning about each other. What works so well is that they come across as closer to real people than one dimensional stereotypes. That is kind of the whole point of the film, showing that there are real people behind the stereotypes we automatically file them into.

The only casting choice I think is a bit strange is Emilio Estevez. Reading up on the film I found out he was only cast as Andy because they had difficulty finding someone to play him. I am surprised though that Emilio Estevez was originally going to play Bender! Similarly Molly Ringwald was originally cast to play Allison.

I do wonder how she would have played her. This is a good point, as while for this very film and in TV shows you get groups of people with very different personalities, simply because it makes it more interesting and broadens the potential audience appeal, in real life birds of a feather flock together.

10 Characters That Should Have Been LGBTQ+

He is definitely the funniest, the film is peppered with his snarky comments and one-liners. I can see the flaws in this gay despite the fact I enjoy it. The film is very silly in parts, and it just gets sillier watching it as I get older. Reviews of this breakfast from people who were adults when it came out tend to dismiss it as club and self-pitying.

To its credit, the film addresses the fact that adults and teenagers tend to view the world differently. But I can see where those people are coming from to an extent. Andy is basically feeling sorry for himself for bullying another kid, Brian was going to commit suicide because he got an F, and Claire is very privileged in many ways compared to the rest of them.

Now here comes what I really dislike about this film. After they spend the film trying to debunk stereotypes, the geek boy has to write the essay while all the others hook up, the popular girl with the bad boy, and the weird girl gets a make-over to look character like the popular girl so she can date the jock.

Interestingly, there is a rumour that Molly Ringwald would have liked Brian and Claire to pair up, which would have been different. He gets to write the essay which is shown as a big speech at the beginning and end of the film, and it leaves him open to fans giving their the interpretations. There is a popular theory that Brian was gay.

When I first saw this film, I was shocked about Claire and Bender hooking up.
