The Breakfast Club starts with a simple quote from the David Bowie song, “Changes”. The quote goes as follows, “...And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds, are immune to your consultations. They’re quite aware of what they’re going through...". The iconic David Bowie song comes to be the whole message of the movie; that no matter how much an older generation may disagree and criticise the younger generation for trying to change the world, they aren’t going to stop trying to change it in their ways, and nor are they going to do exactly what they are told or expected of, by parents or any adults. This is not out of sheer maliciousness against their parents, but the parents' inability to see past their own times. As shown via many examples in the movie, times are changing and the students in detention are changing too... but their parents are not. This is still incredibly relevant today. The teacher overseeing detention begins by putting students into boxes. and totally judging from their appearances. Through many ups and downs that the students have, they come to realize that they are more than their appearance and that they are more than what adults tell them they are. These kids all go through their own passage. Through talking about why they are in detention, they come to realize that they are all much more similar than they believe they are to be.
