Oscar on Sunday, the late writer, director and producer John Hughes has received a rare special tribute - that his fans agree was well worth the validation of their work. The film made in 1980 on children, including "Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink", "Day of Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "Some Kind of Wonderful", was nothing less than revolutionize youth genre films . Although Hughes has made great films of adults ( "planes trains and automobiles) and children (" Home Alone "), will always be associated with teens - and for good reason.

There are several reasons why this is true, but here are some that I consider most important. As the author of a new book on Hughes and his films (among others), I have spent the last few years immersed in the world of John Hughes, interviewing people who worked with him (including actors like Molly Ringwald, Matthew Broderick, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson and Ally Sheedy) and loved it. And through this process, which was largely completed at the time of his death reminds me again and again, as John Hughes. These films have changed the way Hollywood produces and sells teen movies, but more than that, they did a great sociological impact, changing the way many young people think that all the love and friendship to sex, regardless of class , fashion and music.

Making his Hollywood movies, who taught well done, intelligent, funny, poignant, dramatic performances that do not condescend to the young, it's worth, both artistic and commercial reasons. Almost all young people in entertainment today is made somewhat influenced by the films of John Hughes teen. Comedies like "Juno" and "Superbad" for the drama "Gossip Girl" and the romantic intensity of the Twilight "the movie, almost all entertainment for the youth of today has been affected in some way, films of 80 Hughes.

Main theme of this film was "Do not You Forget About Me" - decades later, we have not forgotten John Hughes, and never will be. His films still resonate, because their messages are timeless. Of course, some of the surface elements of "The Breakfast Club", like music and fashion are totally 80s - but the biggest story of the film lies in the eternal elements of the experience of adolescence, as a matter of belonging and identity are at the heart of what being a teenager. And "why today's teens still watch movies and can quote the heart Hughes." He has 25 years of "The Breakfast Club" was noted in the theaters.
