Bender is the Superman character sitting down with Jimmy Olsen trying to help him and all of them. They are all victims of abuse in different forms of complex trauma
Everyone is talking about bender in this scene but no one is talking about Brian. Did you guys notice Brian’s face when Bender was doing a reenactment of life at his place? You could tell he was a little upset or annoyed because that’s the the truth and Brian knows that but because people think that he’s a straight a student that it must mean he has a good home life.
Beanz Burrito I have seen the movie a couple of times but I think you’re explanation was a little more better explained as to what I was trying to say lol and I didn’t get to correct myself either! I meant to say he was annoyed because the re-enactment *wasn’t true. And just because people perceive him the way they do must mean that he doesn’t have problems at all! Whether it be at school or at home. But you’re right, the point of the whole movie is that they all have hidden struggles (mainly due to personal lives) that they don’t recognize in each other because of stereotypes that have been set in place.
For a minute I was afraid how you’d react to his comment cause it’s the internet but I was shocked and pleased how you reacted instead... I guess we can’t escape stereotypes😂😅
I feel like he stopped smiling cause he caught himself smiling even though he doesn't like Bender. He doesn't want anyone to see him thinking Bender is funny.
You can tell Bender was so envious of everyone else having lunch but him especially Brian, that's why he picked on Brian because he's envious of him. Bender wanted the home life Brian has, Brian has two loving parents whereas Bender comes from an abusive household, of course he'd never admit that he's jealous that's why he acts out. This movie really hits deeper when you watch it as an adult.
@@snackasmversion2752 Just because the person next to you is in a full body cast, doesn't mean your broken arm doesn't hurt. Bender shouldn't have been making fun Brian like that.
@@jamesryan4492 Yes but one would still prefer the broken arm over the body cast any day of the week, compared to Bender's dad Brian's parents were Mother Teresa and Jesus Christ himself. Bender's jealousy showed, Brian still had a family with a good roof over his head and three square meals a day.
They all come from abusive parents, the only difference is the type of abuse. Bender came from a physically abusive background which the others did not. Andrew has a dad that treats him like a racehorse, Claire was a bargaining chip between two divorced parents, Brian was going to kill himself rather than face the wrath of his parents for getting an F
When he heard that Brian brought a gun to school, he looked like he immediately regretted the impressions. He thought Brian was just being a spoiled brat, but when he found that his parents were pressuring him, guy looked like he realized he fucked up.
I noticed that too. He thought it was funny but once he noticed Brian was getting upset he stopped smiling. Andrew is my favorite character because of subtle moments like this
He went from smiling cuz he saw the humor in it to frowning because he wishes his father would be like that instead of always pressuring him to be a good wrestler in sports
Growing up was the same, and seeing the film with Bender, we have a lot in common and I guess it's the reason I closed myself from people. My wife had to get me out of that zone, it was just too much, this scene hit me right in the heart, I cried just by watching this again.
It’s crazy rewatching this as an adult and realizing how bitter and envious Bender was of Brian and his home life. Just a brilliant movie. You can just see the insecurity in his face!
When I feel like that I want to be ignored, and definitely don’t want to be touched. Acknowledging the pain like that makes it worse. Outside of this situation he definitely needs a hug.
I wish in some way they would be able to reunite the characters in this very film and have them back together again, probably in jury duty or something
they should do it, while everyone's still spry, healthy and not too old. it was already a little late for stallone and schwartzenegger to finally do a film together in expendables
The soundtrack never fails honestly. My heart was racing when I first watched this. I was like 15 or so. One of my favorite movies. Ironically only watched it because I found out it was what was sampled in a song by my all time favorite band "Dystopia". From the song "Diary of a Battered Child". I heavily recommend it but it's not for everyone. It's from a genre called "Crust Punk" which is a sub genre of black metal which is heavily inspired by punk.
It's all envy. He can't stand to see other people more well off than he is and as such lashes out at anybody who he paints as superior to him (figures of authority, innocent and popular kids)
@@Jenna_Talia basically yeah your right, hes angry because he wants that home life. but hes never gonna have it. hes just gonna get cigar burns on his arm some more.
I went to high school from 1980 to 1984 and let me tell you this is the most accurate depiction of 80s high school life its like going into a time machine . I shed a little tear for Bender because I had a abusive home life and I was a angry kid in high school until a janitor saved me he made sure I graduated and went to prom and got really involved in high school life because he said I was once you and don't blow these 4 years make the most of them because they are the most memorable years of your life. So if anyone that hates high school is watching this or reading my comment . Dont blow it kid !
1:05 This is great. Look at how his face changes right there. Subtle, but he was liking the joke Bender was playing. But Bender didnt stop. He biffed the joke and overdid it.
I love the change in reactions on everyone else's face.. first they started to laugh along with the joke but slowly sympathizes with Brian cuz they start to realize someone's 'image' is just an image and doesn't equate to happiness
At 1:39 Bender telling us the only inside on how he feels and his life really is powerfull also how he just walks off and takes his anger on books instead of any of the people there really says he's not a bad boy at heart... that's why I love John Bender!
1:21 hurts to watch. Bender has no freaking clue how wrong he is on the depiction of Brian’s home life (rewatch the opening of the movie with Brian’s mom to jog your memory). Anthony Michael Hall said so much with just his eyes. Awesome scene
Yeah, it’s pretty obvious that his mom felt no sympathy about her son’s suicide attempt. I’ll bet you ten to one that when she heard of it, instead of showing concern for Brian’s safety and wellbeing, she chewed his ass. Totally f🤬ing disgusting.
A film that acknowledges the dark side of humanity in stark honesty. The way sports players view others or jocks and every steriotype is perfectly represented. The film goes even further to underly and show how parenting creates these personas. It all comes down to parenting and the family unit. Just a honest portrayal of typical personas of youth.
@@ericortega1745 I tend to picture Pacino with his usual intense outbursts while picturing him with Bender's hair and a scraggly beard (as seen in other films like Serpico and The Merchant of Venice). I can't see anyone else playing Bender's dad except Pacino.
HowToDrinkBleachAndNotDie the way he moves sometimes, it looks like he’s limping. So I think he has like a bunch of injuries under there, other than the cigarette injury.
Aren’t we all a little bit of each of these characters? That is why this movie is so good…it hits home on several levels and all of us can relate to multiple points in this movie.
It's hard not to laugh a little at Bender's re-enactment of what he thinks Brian's home life is like. Though I feel a little bad for Brian for being teased over it. Such an intense and emotionally raw scene when it came to Bender's house re-enactment. You feel so bad for Bender. 😔
To be honest, I think Bender was envious that Brian had a caring household and loving parents unlike him. If anything Bender was trying to express his frustration in a less violent way.
@@coltonstillwell3590tbh, Brian didn’t really have it any better than Bender. Bender’s parents abused him physically, but Brian’s parents abused him mentally by forcing him to get good grades and apparently were unsympathetic to the fact that he tried to commit suicide and it’s entirely their fault.
I find it interesting that Brian did not attempt to contradict Bender about his life, but he still looked somewhat upset meaning that Bender's impression was close to the truth but not entirely and that there was a little more to it than Bender apparently thought. Most likely the pressure that was put on Brian at home to get very good grades.
Actually, it was nowhere near the truth at all. It was all about keeping up with appearances. In reality, Brian's home life was absolute shit. So much in fact that he wanted to end his life because he wasn't "perfect enough" for his parents. No doubt they made him feel horrible for failing shop class rather than encouraging him. That's horrible parenting right there.
I’ll never forget the bottomless pit I felt in my stomach when Bender said “see this, it’s about the size of a cigar, did I stutter?” You could just feel the pain in Bender there
My parents graduated from high school in ‘82 and ‘83. They were “burnouts” who hung with people that grew up in homes like Bender’s. Truly heartbreaking to see such a depiction that my folks can relate to firsthand.
I love the experiences, the passion in someone's eyes from dealing with so much BS in life, and you want to sweep them up and be their princess who gives them diamonds to remind them of how strong they are and that they are just surrounded by pressure and BS but it turns them into a diamond.
Bender was from a lower middle class background. Not poverty and starving, but an uneducated mother and father. He spilled paint in the garage. They had a garage! Not a crappy apartment or trailer!
Anthony Michael Hall is amazing in this scene, too. All of his acting with just his face. We are told that Brian's home life is a mess, too, just by AMH's reactions. We get the sense that AMH/Brian is almost smiling to keep from crying.
I grew up in the Chicago suburbs, and most of the Benders in high school were actually rich kids putting on an act. So I can understand why Andrew made this assumption.
This is one of many scenes revealing the ASSUMPTIONS they all have about each other - a central theme of the film. Bender assumes everything is all rosey at "big bri's house" but the earlier scene w Brian and his mother reveals otherwise. The hurt on Brian's face is a double whammy - he's made fun of for something that not only isn't true but pours salt in the wound. Then Bender gets a taste of his own medicine when Andy challenges Bender's honest portrayal of his home life. What a BRILLIANT film.
I don't think the group would have trouble believing after he showed the cigarette burn and the fact he was most angry in that moment of the movie. Like that obviously hit the biggest nerve!
To be honest, as great as this movie is, it should be the standard, not ‘a masterpiece’. I don’t understand why it’s so hard to make movies that depict real life considering that it’s all around us. I’d rather see movies like this than dinosaurs fighting King Kong with big explosions and cars that go fast.
The reason why is because people want to escape reality not accept it which leaves people purposely in denial of the bad going on around them so in short people make themselves believe in a lie than a truth because they can’t face reality
@@Kuro-kr8gb not so much that dude, just as you said theres a lot of bad around us sometimes its nice to escape reality and watcha dinosaur fighting a gorilla
well ig the other commenter explained it in a different way but art is about expression, including escapism id like to see more movies like the breakfast club but it doesn't invalidate fantastical stories that also have artistic merit connecting to real-world problems, even through metaphors, even if they're not directly rooted in reality
My burn mark is on my right hand for reaching for seconds at thanksgiving without permission. Do I learn my lesson? The following year reached for seconds and got the carving knife between my thumb and index finger. This happened in the 60s, both scars are still there. Not a problem, makes for a good story with humor mixed into it… overall lesson is I can spot a abused or hungry kid a mile away. I see hungry weekly and we feed them, I give extra treats for them with the rule to eat dinner first!!! It works, give the parents treats also so they don’t feel bad or left out having to go to a pantry for help. And the weekend this movie was made was my last weekend living in NYC. Bender Rules still to this day!!! I’ll never change
Bender's envy was depicted so natrually.
right in the gut.
Bender is the Superman character sitting down with Jimmy Olsen trying to help him and all of them. They are all victims of abuse in different forms of complex trauma

Notice how Andrew was smiling at first but stopped once he noticed Brian was getting upset
Yes. Subtle things like that are what take this movie to a whole other level. (and it's not just the acting - it's the directing and editing too.)
Well I'm sure he also was reminded of why he was there to begin with. Bullying a kid. Like Bender was doing.
Wow
I feel like he stopped smiling cause he caught himself smiling even though he doesn't like Bender. He doesn't want anyone to see him thinking Bender is funny.

Never cried but it’s a classic
I related to Bender the most.
It’s pretty wild that the older you get the more you realize how much Bender was crying out for help, so much envy in his voice here!

Andrew's face at 1:14. Goes from laughing at Bender's rather cruel impression of Brian to suddenly looking ashamed.

Herr andjelkovic und der Unbekannte: Was für ein Klischee 😂👍
I really enjoyed watching this animated mosaic
0:14 Never gets old…lol
2:27
Me:... did... did you want some of my soup and milk
I don't think the group would have trouble believing after he showed the cigarette burn and the fact he was most angry in that moment of the movie. Like that obviously hit the biggest nerve!
2:34 you can see how hurt and upset he is when he says that, his whole character is breaking.
To me, this movie is perfection
To be honest, as great as this movie is, it should be the standard, not ‘a masterpiece’. I don’t understand why it’s so hard to make movies that depict real life considering that it’s all around us. I’d rather see movies like this than dinosaurs fighting King Kong with big explosions and cars that go fast.
The reason why is because people want to escape reality not accept it which leaves people purposely in denial of the bad going on around them so in short people make themselves believe in a lie than a truth because they can’t face reality
@@Kuro-kr8gb not so much that dude, just as you said theres a lot of bad around us sometimes its nice to escape reality and watcha dinosaur fighting a gorilla
well ig the other commenter explained it in a different way but art is about expression, including escapism
id like to see more movies like the breakfast club but it doesn't invalidate fantastical stories that also have artistic merit connecting to real-world problems, even through metaphors, even if they're not directly rooted in reality
que dystopia
Did she make the turkey potpie?
2:24 song name?
Music was done for the movie. Check the soundtrack.
All of the characters were great but Bender was the best part of this movie.
What’s the track ID at 3:11? Anyone?
Judd Nelson is such a great actor.
My burn mark is on my right hand for reaching for seconds at thanksgiving without permission. Do I learn my lesson? The following year reached for seconds and got the carving knife between my thumb and index finger. This happened in the 60s, both scars are still there. Not a problem, makes for a good story with humor mixed into it… overall lesson is I can spot a abused or hungry kid a mile away. I see hungry weekly and we feed them, I give extra treats for them with the rule to eat dinner first!!! It works, give the parents treats also so they don’t feel bad or left out having to go to a pantry for help. And the weekend this movie was made was my last weekend living in NYC. Bender Rules still to this day!!! I’ll never change
the fact that this guy a year later is voicing rodimus prime in the transformers movie fucks with my head completely
After all that...
Brian: "Is that for real?" 😄
“You wanna come over some time?”
@@grunge_raspberries 😂😂😂
This truly brought forth the idea of the pain inside.
2:23, what song was that ?
Man you can see his genuine envy so clearly in this scene
3:13- Bender, u mad bro?
This hurts deep.
Bender: no dad, what about you? Pow, ouch.
Brian:..... Now do Allison!
