Filmmaker Hughes put spotlight on teen insecurities



Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, just two of Hughes more teen targeted movies that directly hit the topic of teen insecurities. Over the past years the film industry has produced films containing a good amount of teen issues, teen insecurities, and stereotypes. Hughes imagined a world where conformity ruled but where there was always enough wiggle room for the kids who wanted to play by their own rules and challenge the stereotypes. His films were made to show the struggle of teens even those who are privileged like those in the Breakfast Club. Hughes made it a point to show a different side of the average teen and tried to push this world to be ruled by conformity.

Critics believe that for this to stop filmmakers shouldn't sell their films into an exclusive contract. The filmmakers should manage the distributors and have 3-5 distributors in each major international region sell the products. This well help bring more profit back to the filmmaker.They will get less money upfront but much more in the back end.
