Part of MovieSet’s Remembering John Hughes special series
“DVD Viewpoint” Review of ‘Don’t You Forget About Me’ By Bradley Carver
for MovieSet.com
Rarely have any movies touched base with who teenagers really are as the movies directed by John Hughes. They capture the innocent spirit that has been lost in the films of today. ‘Don’t You Forget About Me’ is a documentary by a group of inspiring young directors that pays homage to John hughes, and attempts to figure out why John Hughes faded from the spotlight.
The documentary focuses on John’s major, and most memorable works which includes, ‘The Breakfast Club’, ‘Sixteen Candles’, ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’, ‘Pretty In Pink’, and ‘Weird Science’.
Director John Hughes
The group of directors travel a great distance in hope of finding The man who, perhaps unknowingly, has impacted so many lives with his movies. Along their way they discuss what makes him, and his work so great, and include interviews with actors and actressess from his films. They even talk with local teenagers about John’s films. All in all everyone seemed to agree that John Hughes was missed, and that the world could use more movies like his.
I have to say that I agree as well. Movies such as the ones John Hughes directed are far better remembered than the ones of today, because people found a unique familiarity in them that has been lost, but one that is most urgently needed in the world today.
