There are the movies tapping into the loneliness and social brutality of adolescence in movies like Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink and Some Kind of Wonderful. The rebels in his movies were essentially benign — and, in the case of Ferris Bueller's Day Off — hugely successful. But they were neither heroes nor villains. Hughes' villains were more often the people looking down from high
atop the adolescent social order, his heroes mostly the lost-in-the-middle teens who had never given themselves up to either conformity or criminality. He was
good, too, at lost adults (John Candy in Planes, Trains & Automobiles again comes to mind). But it was with young people that Hughes — himself part of an older generation — became iconic, generating films that are still packaged in DVD series like I Love the '80s and High School Flashback Collection. Indeed, the new series Community, coming to NBC in the fall, includes a scene where a gathering of unlike people is compared to The Breakfast Club. That said, there was often something about Hughes which could feel deeply fake. The confessional urges in
The Breakfast Club come to mind. And Pretty in Pink is notorious for reports that the original ending — where Andie (Hughes' muse Molly Ringwald) ended up with Duckie — was changed to put her with the handsome, socially successful Blane (Andrew McCarthy). Duckie was a better match, unless you're a kid who wants to believe that the outsider can get the insider without compromise, that love will overcome a hidebound social structure. Then, getting Blane made perfect romantic sense. And Hughes made amends to some degree in Some Kind of Wonderful, where the guy in a triangle picks the outsider girl over his social dream.
