Old Club

"The Breakfast Club" is just too white:

“It resonates with people today," she said, adding, "I believe in making movies that are inspired by other movies but build on it and represent what’s going on today. This is very, you know, it’s very white, this movie. You don’t see a lot of different ethnicities. We don’t talk about gender. None of that. And I feel like that really doesn’t represent our world today." Annnnnnd that's where she lost me. When she said the movie wasn't timely, I thought she meant, like the kids didn't have smartphones and social media or something, but I should have known better. If someone recast it today and added some black or Hispanic kids, I see no issue with that. But I've never watched a movie and thought "this is too white" or "this is too black." I generally judge films based on the plot, writing, acting, etc. And for the life of me, I do not think we need to insert a "gender" discussion into every single thing. I'm not sure what Ringwald's politics are, but I typically assume anyone so obsessed with race and gender is a lefty because they never see people as individuals, just groups. They also love to virtue signal about it.

Don't you forget about them...
