it wasn't a bad line, but i don't understand the popularity of it...

"When you grow up your heart dies" A child sees the world and the things around them as a new adventure. They're innocent and naive to where they don't know any better. As a person matures into a teenager/young adult they're becoming more exposed to the "real" world. The expectations of society during those years pressured teens into being perfect adults and people thus causing them to sometimes grow resentful. Once they've become an adult they don't have that innocence they once did as a little kid and aren't seeing it through naïvety. They know what's finally goi on in the world and as they continue to grow they're not the child they once were thus showing that their heart in a way has died. When Bender says "who cares" it's showing that he doesn't care about growing up and losing the essence of being young and carefree. When Allison responds by saying she cares, it shows that she doesn't want to be bitter or emotionless when she's older.

Luna Strover Never thought it that way before. Terrific analysis

Timeless

That kills me.

Well said.........or rear view mirrors for those of us who were lucky to be there...either way he captured that period on film perfectly. I hope every generation watches and enjoys his work

RockRobster71 Well I think his movies are about more than a generation. I think they capture human beings as who we are and who we could be and I hope every generation will be able to see that reflection when they watch a John Hughes movie.

I so would get Molly pregnant

Steve Harrington I was born in 93. And I sometimes wish I lived in the 80’s.

I read John wanted to make sequels every ten years to the breakfast Club but John and Judd Nelson hated each other so much they never did them :/

You gotta admit, he became a sellout in his later career.

cHeStEr5434 You gotta admit, you're ruining all these people's comments with negativity. John Hughes was a genius and ur a troll

Victoria Odegaard No, I am not a troll, you are being an ignorant aficionado, that's not an insult, I'm merely making a criticism so please don't be offended. My statement regarding John Hughes' later career is referring to all his involvement in the film industry after 1990, I won't deny that the man was talented but after Home Alone he seemed to loose focus on creativity and innovation in film making that he was well known for, I still find it hard to believe that the genius who brought us such cinematic greats like The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles and Ferris Bueller is also responsible for cinematic garbage like Beethoven, Home Alone 3, 101 Dalmatians and Flubber.

well... ur writing the same reply for multiple comments making you a troll. Keep your opinions from ruining other people's comments. I happen to feel that some of the later movies he directed weren't as... profound as his earlier stuff but this is all opinion and you shouldn't be shoving your ideas in other people's faces.

Victoria Odegaard Saying the same thing to a few comments that are saying the same thing isn't trolling, trolling is posting offensive and/or off topic messages online with intent on provoking an emotional response. What I'm saying in my post is a statement of fact not opinion, and it's intended to be informative not offensive. John Hughes was known for being creative and innovative but later in his career he began hastily phoning in movies in favor of personal gain, that is called selling out.

Hope I can be half as good as he is considering where teenagers are now compared to where my generation was after he was done writing Teen Comedies after Pretty In Pink. Then he wrote Uncle Buck and Home Alone 1 and 2.

​@Andy UGoonie Teens are different from one generation to another, and that gap is getting even bigger in the last 10 years because of technology and how that is changing us.

Rentaghost okish I know what an interesting person :)

We can only realize it's worth only when you lose something

@@_luisespinosa_ Nah I don't think so. That's why his movies are timeless. The same emotions, feelings and worries are in every generation of young people. It might be hard to see it but in certain ways you can still see John's characters in kids in high school today.

Frankie C has it really changed?

Sometimes I wish I was born in 87 but I like movies and music from back then.

Don't forget about the HIV/AIDS crisis.

Respectfully all of that occurs today and worse. At least technology didn't have everyone's heads up their asses in the 80's and people really appreciated the little things.

@@manuelorozco7760 Why 1987, Why that particular year in the 80's?

sugarandspice4815 what movie is that one ? I need to knowwwww

​@@Luffyestawesome "Some Kind of Wonderful" (1987)

I agree. Pls watch korean series called reply 1988 if you dont mind subtitles. The series also got the same vibes and totally relatable.

I feel the same way I’m 34 and my dad still try’s to push me in certain directions

@@sugarandspice4815 how are you ten years later?

Same

me too

klausweasley You must be a fucking racist.

Mine too. I didn't see it until I was about to start my senior year. I was inspired to watch it by a homework studies class I took and it allowed me to be a part of a similar scenario.

Manuel Orozco...so true.

Dexter Haven I just tried to wright what you just said . Your great ll

Woody Allen is a joke

Same 💯 🧡

He made movies with a demographic that few people would do, kids and teen-agers. It was absolutely genius!!

I agree! I could watch Hughes movies over and over and never get bored.

hughes did not direct home alone but he wrote it

Ghillie's Assassin He also co-produced it as well as develop the movie for Mac after John directed Uncle Buck.

Pretty in Pink, Weird Science,Just One of the Guys and She's Having a Baby were also shown briefly too in the tribute :)

Princess Strickland Some kind of wonderful!

+Manuel Orozco John Hughes wrote and produced Home Alone 3 as well +Kevin Haynes

I won't, since he gave my composer cousin several film jobs.

sha11235 Ira Newborn?

Matt Thornton never will. I’m not from the 80s, but my dad raised me on his films. Ferris Bueller is one of the first films I remember watching at five years old. The Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink, Home Alone, Planes, Trains and Automobiles too along with many more.

im not crying im not crying im not crying

i won't ever forget about him his one of my favorite directors ever

I was...beautiful tribute. Just sad that Emilio Estevez was a no show...

I began to tear up when I saw all the iconic cast members from different movies get togehter on stage.

I was not too bad until I saw how moved Hughes' wife was. Then the ol' water in the eyes arrived.

If John Hughes was alive more of his films would have been made.

Yes

I might be a 90's baby but I wouldn't mind a little trip back to the 80's

Member the 80s?

Fax

Best if my years esp music n tv shows... Born in the 70s but loved the 80s.😉😉

simplygu me toooooo!!!

WOW....love your comment coz its true!!!

What opinion could you have, with any taste a somewhat inteligent person can see it's wonderful.

@@stevem2323 this guys movies were bigger than the US. As a kid raised in west africa, his are really the only ones i can remembering watching as a child. Also helped to learn english!

^ better than any crap you put out

Eve Yitagesu Except Made In Manhattan

Almost Class was awesome not written by Hugh's!

I would feel the same way if i was in high school again. Its been eight years since i graduated

Epic comment

I actually do live John Hughes movies.

Fr i wanna be like Kevin mccalerster

Actually thee best comment 🏆

Ocongate Sounded like a wonderful get use of family time. Hope your son enjoyed it

I meant good use

But we have to keep an open-heart. Love is all there is. Even with pain we grow.

Very thoughtful words

That's beautiful man.

Reminds me of the scene in "Home Alone 2" where Kevin is talking to the homeless lady about love and loss. He tells her that she needs to let people in, even if she gets hurt, because at least you know that your heart still works... or something to that effect.

I believe this - - but to an extent. YES, I believe as you get old your heart dies....HOWEVER, some of that is not due to evil intent, but reality. Let's face it...the heart doesn't make the mortgage payment, health insurance payment, or the heart doesn't provide better home or schools for kids. Some of the heart dying is the grind of life, where reality and practicality trump idealism and hope.

That's awesome

paty mayonese as you walk on by will you call my name as you walk away

hey hey hey hey!

I too have lost a very good friend that passed away years ago. that got me through the suckiest moments in my life. that man was Greg he was a funny guy. people don't always slow down and take the time to realise what matters most in life. Hearts really do not die there are many that went too soon. alright peace out.

sky?

I don't think one can name a top 5 director that has won best director or picture. Sidney Lumet? that about it. He won one right?

Peter Miller Scorsese... but thats the only one i could think of

Peter Miller Roman Polanski won director twice, 1976 for Tess and 2002 for The Pianist. Hughes work will never be mistaken for him or Lumet though.

martinishot Roman Polanski won director once, 2002 for The Pianist.

I don't think Stanley Kubrick, John Hughes, Alfred Hitchcock, Christopher Nolan, etc. have ever one best picture or best director. Pretty hilarious.

I was a high school sophomore watching that night. 17 to be exact. I saw Breakfast Club over a year later

yes

James Spader slipping on that dinner jacket while smoking a cig has to be one of the coolest scenes ever.

I always think of Sky High

I didn't know this as his foreign fan. I really want to visit there someday with my son and I definitely will. Thank you for your comment and have a good day. 👍

That would be so cool if I did something like that

@@ErikBreivik There is a "Two and Half Men" episode where Alan makes fun of it, saying that, sometimes, people thought he was Matthew Broderick.

Paula Lins ok, thank you for explaining it to me.

Mizer Mustard hahaha 😂 😂 😂

@@ErikBreivik , sorry, I made a mistake, don´t know what happened. Anyway, what I meant is that "Two and Half Men" episode was really funny.

Sonja Dawn why are we laughing? Did I miss something? If so, no worries...I will laugh with you(cue my laughter)

+NTRSANDMAN Oh dude that was frickin' funny.... aha hahahahaha...

Except Lady Bird and Perks of Being A Wallflower

I was a sophomore when this Oscars came on and I watched some of them as a senior

Not sure how this one slipped by. In cases like that, it is always better to just not post a video period, rather than a severely edited one.

You gotta admit, he became a sellout in his later career.

I admit it :)

Valentina 19373 So would Mine but in particular my high school years. But it's five years too late since I graduated. When he died eight years ago, I was about to start my sophomore year.

I was a senior in 2012 when I watched the movie for the first time. I didn’t expect to get a kick out of it

Sam A That’s true. It makes you wonder what the world would be like if money wasn’t even a thing.

My mom was born 59 and my dad a year later

I was born in 77. I enjoyed the 80s as a kid. The best era!

He launched them into superstardom

10 years next month

Well I watched Weird Science yesterday. Decent but doesn’t beat the likes of his other teen movies

@@manuelorozco7760 sorry to disagree but that was a classic of my childhood

@@Presice You know what they, generation gap

I sometimes wish I was born in them

It's ironic seeing Matthew and Molly as the main presenters, because they were supposed to star together in a John Hughes road trip movie that was written, and came very close to being made, but unfortunately never did.

@@jedijones No way
