Class Diary #3

Im a huge fan of 80s movies. I love The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful, Sixteen Candles and many more. There is something that I realized with some of these popular 80s films, most of these movies discuss and show different classes in some way or form. That the kids who are "not cool" are poor, and the "rich" kids are popular. Even though the kids who were supposedly "poor" really weren't, they were still looked at it as that because they don't have the big houses, pools, fancy cars and all that other kind of luxurious things. John Hughes showed the truth how people judge each other by their class. But he also showed that some of the kids who weren't really "poor" were looked at as poor. This was especially shown in the movie Pretty in Pink starring Molly Ringwald, who is a popular actress from the 80's, and she was judged because she didn't live in a big house, but she still had a car, and a nice size house. I just found this interesting how class was perceived in these 80s films.
