The mise-en-scene (Looking, 36) of this part of the movie is all about settings/props showing the stereotypes. A wall with “Man of the year” and a bunch of pictures of guys in suits on it show right as the voice over goes into explaining how the principal (and possibly all the world) sees these kids – as shown in the next series of images.Ī guidance counselor desk – a basket case,Īnd the locker with the noose on it – a criminal. All while a voice over reads a letter from the teenagers (mainly Brian – who essentially wrote the letter himself). The opening scene begins with multiple clips, starting with the front of the school then going to different parts within the school. The movie handles a lot of different stereotypes about different “groups” or “cliques” of high schoolers.
All from different high school cliques, this ragtag group of kids ended up together in detention one Saturday morning and changed the perspective of us all on what teenagers are truly like. Arguably the most iconic movie of all time, The Breakfast Club features five distinct teenagers The Criminal – John Bender, The Athlete – Andrew Clarke, The Princess – Claire Standish, The Basket Case – Allison Reynolds, and The Brain – Brian Johnson.
