"Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole saturday in detention for whatever it is we did wrong, but we think you're crazy for making us write an essay telling you who we think we are. 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, and an athlete, and a basketcase, a princess, and a criminal. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Breakfast Club."
I Just watched this movie this morning and everytime I see it I remember how good it is. But watching it now as a 22 year old semi college grad on the verge of joining the "real world" I realized how much of each character I really was. I was the brain/athlete/basketcase/prince/criminal. I was such a one man breakfast club that I had no group. I was an outcast even amongst my onw inner circle. I also realized how much of that same person I am today and much of it I have been since then. What I cant seem to remember when I change from innocent child to Breakfast club. The line is so worn out and invisible that I think I have been the same my whole life with subtle change on my psyche and my exterior but still essentially the same being. Still the kid on the pre school swings making up and singing songs out loud as he somberly swung by himself who is now the man who watches The Breakfast Club and write in his blog about how much deeper that movie is than the normal moral of the story.
"I am the eyes and ears of this institution, my friends!"
