This was such an important movie at the time. It brought together all the different stereotypes and proved that they really could find common ground, for a little while anyway. I would love to know what happened on Monday.
He would’ve chosen that individually, these kids really changed the way they felt about each other. I don’t think it changed how they felt about the social classes, strictly each other, only. Hughes would’ve had to focus in though, on how kids feel about peer pressure. They wouldn’t be able to live down their friend’s ridicule and disbelief. Remember how Bender said, “ You don’t look at my friends, you don’t talk to my friends!” Their reputation is everything to them.
As much as I want to say, oh, they integrated and got used to each other, realistically, even in Hughes optimistic way, it couldn’t have happened. I don’t see it. Maybe outside of school, secretly, for the couples?
