Club

Let's get one thing straight. We are not the Breakfast Club. We did not meet by chance, and we did not leave whether or not we would always be friends a mystery to those who were watching us. As far as I know, we will always be friends, and if we are not, I’ll always try to remember what made us, us. But in terms of the Breakfast Club, I believe we have helped each other quite a bit, and we all are extremely different. It was right before the summer, so the day was warm but also wet and…

when one has the courage to let go” (Doug Cooper). David Fincher’s 1999 film Fight Club, addresses identity and conformity all throughout the film. There are many instances where the Narrator fights with how he wants to be identified. The Narrator wants nothing more than to become a strong independent guy so much so that he creates an alternate identity to better conform to the society he lives in.

For the most part of the movie, the dialogue in Jim Uhls’ screenplay stays genuine to Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club, yet still contained minor differences.

There are many scenes throughout The Breakfast Club which depict concepts of social psychology. From the very first interaction between the members of the group there is an immediate aggression between Bender, Claire, and Andy.
