"The voiceover at the end of The Breakfast Club is less the point than that he is the one who writes and reads it, telling the story of the whole group. Granted, he's the only one who doesn't end up paired off- a lonely, solitary figure (for the time being, at least), but one who's in good company with the heroes of westerns and samurai movies. At that moment, we Gen Xers got perhaps our first glimpse of the future, in which the Farmer Teds became empowered to tell not just their own stories but ours as a generation- though even Hughes might not have anticipated quite how celebrated the nerds of the world would become."

-Eve Epstein on Anthony Michael Hall and The Breakfast Club
