Molly Ringwald rose to prominence as John Hughes’ muse in the hit films “Sixteen Candles,” “Pretty in Pink,” and “The Breakfast Club,” but her most beloved movies are troubling her in hindsight. In a new essay for The New Yorker, Ringwald salutes and critiques her collaborations with Hughes, finding certain scenes in the director’s films to be misogynistic and homophobic. The actress makes it clear she loves Hughes and is proud of their work together, but that doesn’t mean their films should not be analyzed under a contemporary context.
While Ringwald was showing her daughter “The Breakfast Club” for the first time, the moment in which Judd Nelson’s Bender peeks up her character’s skirt stood out and made Ringwald uncomfortable. The actress writes that she “kept thinking about the scene” long after the viewing ended, and it wasn’t the first time she was forced to come to terms about its meaning.

Far north Chicago suburbs in the 80's? Please... OK, maybe a few gays.
And then there’s Porky’s..........no way that could get made today.
It’s amazing what intorant wimps the oh-so-tolerant American Left has produced.
And I don’t smoke, and don’t like being around it. But the idea that I would be so offended by seeing it in a movie, that I need to be warned, is just insane. These people had best not visit Europe or East Asia. As a group, those folks smoke like chimneys.

I wonder what a PC version of that would look like?!
Did it occur to her that the film addresses those issues and the characters learn why those things are wrong?
Historical...
That was the description.
I Fart in Their general direction!
Try to imagine Blazing Saddles being made today.
Does seem to be that anyone cared about MURDER among the Kennedy Klan!
But we CAN’T have SMOKING!
OMG! I need a Safe Space...and my Binkie, LOL!
HA! I doubt it, LOL!
“Blazing Saddles would make their heads explode today. It would cause Civil War II.”
You just had to go and whip that one out didn’t you?
Actually she move to London, the murder capital of the world, to perform on stage there. She has had a good stage career in London. She just didn’t chose the Hollywood life.
Apparently she has something up her skirt.
And don’t forget “The most dangerous stunt in the world”.
[The easiest thing in the world, is to look at old movies and TV shows, and point out things which would not be permitted today.]
Like “historical smoking” warnings for the ad for “Chappaquiddick”.
“Historical Smoking” LOL
LOL, if it were an episode of "Mad Men", it would get an NC-17 rating, for that alone.
Seriously?
I’m not very impressed with her indignation, because it only extends to the typical sjw views of today. I’m also not impressed with how intelligent or thoughtful she sounds. I just get the impression that they not only want to control how everyone thinks now, they also want to somehow change how people thought in the past.
WHO?
