"The Breakfast Club" is one of the movies that helped me be a better parent.
The scene between Andrew and Allison when he confronts her in the card catalog (I think) and starts grilling her...asking her about her home life, if it's bad, if it's her parents...then he sort of whispers:
"What do they do to you?" "They ignore me."
Heartbreaking.
Also, when they're talking and Claire, I think, says she's never going to be like her parents and Allison says that it's inevitable, that you can't help it, that when you grow up your heart dies.
Mannn, I kept those quotes in my mind as I raised my kids. I tried not to ignore them, and I didn't let my heart die.
One of my favorite movies of all time. I wish they would have made another one, with the same people, years later as adults...I always thought it would be at a convention or something...or HS reunion. I wish those characters could have been revisited. :)
