personalities

I just finished watching The Breakfast Club and although it seemed a very typical and generic American film it seemed to portray a whole lot  more to me than modern day American high school movies.

I had absolutely no idea what the film was about before I watched it and so it was a pleasant surprise when I realised what it involved. Although, was the message to blame the parents for the actions made by the child? Or was it not to judge a book by its cover? I think there was an element of both in there.

I loved it so much because it looked into the qualities of different people and how the typicality of high school can ruin a person or, as seen in The Breakfast Club, can better them from learning the unimaginable (at least to that person at one time). A typical lesson learnt from this vintage film would be not to judge a book by its cover because there can be a lot more to it; a lot more problems without answers and how these can define a person in a particular way.

I love to look at people and the way they are portrayed on the outside, whether that is because of how imposing society is or whether it is the way the individual longs to impress society. Following this I love to dig deep and compare what is inside with how the person appears physically. Often, it is found that secrets are kept because of shame, qualities are hidden because 'normality' says no and views on particular subjects are suppressed because others think differently.

People are so afraid to say what they want to say because, well, I do not really know why.
Fear of rejection? Loss? Isolation? Alienation? Seclusion? Derogation?

People should not be so worried about these things, in fact, more and more people are becoming more accepting towards others who share 'strange' or 'abnormal' views because it is something different and there are a lot more people in the world who care about making a difference and reducing the social injustices of the world. Mary Shelley cared to share her views through her novel, Frankenstein, and featured various themes within to portray her thoughts on society concerning glory, gender, knowledge, responsibility. All of which we need in life to co-operate, but Shelley argued not necessarily. This pivotal change in a viewpoint from such a fantastic writer surprised and most importantly influenced readers to do the same.

So many other reasons why people are more accepting and diverse these days and this is the beginning of a resolution to reducing social injustices.

Ah okay, rant over now.
Goodnight!
