Ryan Reynolds is brilliantly cast against type as the lying, manipulative, soulless Connell. Hughes’ most popular film The Breakfast Club (1984) can’t be dismissed as a film where moody teenagers realise they have more in common than they thought and hook up. There is
17). This describes how he fails with girls: he either scares them or he is too immature in the way he talks to them. It makes him depressed that Sally would not want to go with him because he thinks there is nothing more to do in life so why not just get away from it.

One of the reasons to Landon’s misconduct is that he completely and utterly disrespects and loathes his Father figure. When a child has no respect for their family (which is where they learn to obey and venerate society’s rules) how can the child possibly respect those outside of the family?

Though Cholly was humiliated by the white men, “he hated the one who had created the situation, the one who bore witness to his failure, his impotence” (151). Cholly’s hatred with himself for being emasculated is channeled towards Darlene, and throughout the rest of his life, women in general.

After raping Pecola, Cholly notices that, “again the hatred mixed with tenderness. The hatred would not let him pick her up” (163).

The family is further alienated through Walt’s dialogue “I used to stack F**ck’s like you five feet high in Korea”. Walt’s racist and prejudice attitudes create uncertainty for the Hmong family and makes establishing relationships for them all the more difficult. Due to his attitude, the family is unable to form a meaningful relationship with him resulting in a feeling of neglect. In both Migrant Hostel and Gran Torino it can be seen that an environment of uncertainty causes individuals to lose the ability to form meaningful relationships with others and their surroundings, resulting in feelings of neglect and a loss of
