The Breakfast Club which was written, directed and produced by John Hughes was written for teenagers and allowed other generations to observe popular culture through the eyes of a teenager. The film illustrates teenage culture in the 1980’s and the social struggles tied to being a teenager. To understand the shift in American culture within the 1980’s and how movies began depicting popular culture, the film does an excellent job of illustrating. Popular culture, low culture, elite culture,…

Almost everyone has seen a film adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and knows the basic plot of the story, but if you have read the novel, then you most likely disagree. Shelley’s book goes beyond a mad scientist and a mindless monster that are portrayed in films, as in the 2015 production Victor Frankenstein. Having an extensive imagination, and being an avid fan of reading, I opine that a book is always more fascinating than its movie counterpart, but in the case of Victor Frankenstein,…

The major theme in Frankenstein based off of the highly complex relationship that the creature and Victor Frankenstein share. This theme and relationship can be compared to other stories such as The Strange Tale of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
