Here's a question for you. If all that ideology was so bad in these movies, why do we now and not then have many school shootings? I think you could make the argument that things are not better because we think we are more virtuous. I lived the 80s and things were not virtuous but I never feared going to school or the mall...
@@TheJustinRootShow Its a comment on your repeating comments of how somehow these John Hughs films would not be accepted today because of some sort of claimed increased virtuous awakening. I am only pointing out the paradox of what these woke folks think is good and what they think is evil. I think its worth assessing or questioning unless that is somehow forbidden. The story of men and women and youth will not change at its core and these movies are just a very good reflection of that. The only highschool movies one could make today that would reflect these new views would be a complete flop and would never be enjoyed by many. Maybe it could be about how a group of kids escaped a trans school shooter. How delightful. Anyway , nothing against you I actually like your videos I just think you are misguided on you comments of unacceptability today.
We had a French exchange student come live with us in the 80s, it was somewhat common. It wasn't controversial that she had an accent, or cultural differences, she would sing Phil Collins to us and we would all laugh.
The problem with canceling old movies because they have problematic issues is that all old movies could be canceled for this problem. We wouldn’t have anything left to watch. It’s better that we realize what those issues are and not repeat them.
It was a great movie there was nothing offensive about it or controversial , he was playing a foreign exchange student what was he supposed to be speaking clear English with no accent. But Offcource today everyone is offended by everything! Fuck PC
Love these tours. When I finally visit Chicago, I’m probably going to spend more time in the burbs but have to go to the art museums because they have so much of Alexander Calder’s work, Edward Hopper’s paintings, and the city’s architecture. Knowing all that, I can’t believe it’s taken decades to start planning this trip.
Sixteen Candles is one of my favorite Hughes' films; however, it is probably the most nostalgic for me for several reasons including watching it for the first time when I was eleven years old, I still find it absolutely irresistible. Too many favorite scenes; however, if I had to pick one, it would be Ted's ride in the Rolls Royce Corniche rolling out to Wham!, then jamming to Billy Idol and culminating with the "Ted, you're a legend" scene. Suffice to say, the music definitely added to the ambiance of the film adding to terrific scenes such as the church scene with "If you were here" and the dance scene with Spandau Ballet's "True". I'm sorry if this is politically incorrect, but there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with this movie. Good or bad, Hughes showed life as it was and thankfully so, as it provides a snapshot in time. The more the film ages, the more significant a time capsule it becomes.
"Generational Differences" Acknowledging things that are no longer acceptable, but allowing them to exist with understanding of their place in time. ❤ If something in a dated movie or book makes you uncomfortable, congratulate yourself for being aware and treat it like art, which is often controversial and discomforting in an effort to make you think.
Living in a PC world was unheard of back then, people lived their life and weren’t offended by everything. Way less problems than today. Everyone were not obsessed by race back then.
Yes, homosexuals were treated so well back then. It was fantastic we had a president who wouldn’t even address or say the word AIDS until the mid 80’s. Lovely time. Also, being from a small mostly white town where the n-word was thrown around casually was just so great. Ugh. There were just as many problems, there just wasn’t as many ways to receive information or for people to share their experiences.
I bicycle by all those locations several times a year. I didn't know the parking lot near the movies end was there right by the church. Something for me to look for on my next ride this spring. BTW, the train station across the street to the west of the church is where Jake Briggs (Kevin Bacon) gets dropped off for his work in Chicago by Kristy (Elizabeth MaGovern) in the Hughes film 'She's Having a Baby'.
Oh my goodness… what a lovely tribute to this movie! Great that you included so much of the great music from this film that wasn’t actually included on the original soundtrack. You’re my hero. Keep up the good work! And perhaps just may do one of these videos on Weird Science? My favorite movie of all time, Btw.
👏👏👏BRAVO JUSTIN!!!👍👍👍 I am just loving all this great content lately!!! Looking back at the locations where all of John Hughes movies were made is so fun!!! I loved all his movies....they totally were the 80's captured in a "film time capsule"!!! Maybe not so "politically correct" by todays standards, but as you said were on the pulse of what was happening then. I'm still keeping my hopes up for a "Pretty in Pink" video soon (that's my all time 💖FAVORITE💖 one)!!! 😍 Great post once again Justin!!!😍
Love your show. You commented that the jocks in the trunk scene look to be twice Cusack's age. However, they were rising high school seniors from John Hughes' hometown, as were most of the extras.
Wow, great coverage. I don’t know what happened today, but I came across this movie and I watched a couple of clips. One of long duck dong, and I laughed so hard and fell off the bed. Thinking back to that it never ever seemed racist in my mind it was never racist. It was just funny like I didn’t think down on anyone or anything about that. Maybe that’s just me but I agree with you. It shouldn’t be canceled. Just because there’s something that offends people now. I also think people now are way over offended I mean all this stuff about trigger warnings is a little bit ridiculous. Anyway hello from Phoenix.
Enjoyed this video. It was a great trip down memory lane. I was a teenager in high school sophomore year in a all girls catholic high school, growing up in the suburbs of Ohio in the Midwest. The area looks much like this area of Chicago. Those were the days. The soundtrack is epic and Jake Ryan ruined it for a lot of girls. The film was controversial at that time as well. A nun who taught at my school was appalled at the sexual content it was depicting. That made all of us just love the film even more. And one more thing I think the movie is so popular among girls is that Molly Ringwald shows us all that you don’t have to be the perfect blond to catch the guy. You can be the pretty girl next girl and be chosen.
Would have loved to have seen you go to Superdawg even though the scene that was filmed there had been deleted. In the original script, Long Dok Dong stops at the place on the way home with Samantha and his new girlfriend. He spots a motorcycle and tries to use the motorcycle. But it goes flying through the parking lot (assumedly on its own). Also Sam's friend Randy catches up with Sam in the parking lot parking behind their car. She tells Sam that her grandparents showed up to the dance and told embarassing stories about her. I think I recall Randy also saying that her grandparents sung at the dance.
Justin, great doc & movie. Please don't forget the enlightened west coast entertainment industry produced all this insensitive media. Please don't place blame on the 70's/80's; look inward my friend.
The little sister in Sixteen Candles is NOT her real life sister. It's an actress named Cinnamon Idles. I used to be friends with her when we were kids. She also starred in Kidco back in the 80's.
Sometimes people who think they're morally superior are just misguided. Dangerous. My kids watched these teen movies and now they're all grown up. Time flies.
Absolutely a fave movie of mine, and yes how hot was Jake. I mean omg. The closest I got was seeing Molly Ringwald at a Ben Lee concert in Adelaide Australia while she was filming"Cut" ☮️n💗 to everyone from the land down under 🤩
@17:10 Do you think they replaced the tile? It seems hard to believe they changed the tone so much the green tiles look blue, but all the skin tones of the actors look normal.
She didn’t play Annie. She was IN Annie, but was not Annie. I know because I saw the play many moons ago. We met the cast after and I remember her, very distinctly as my mothers friend said she looked a lot like her daughter who was named Holly - who I later ended up marrying 25 years later. I am reminded of it everyday as my wife looks a lot like Molly.
Haviland Morris was also in a famous Diet Coke commercial with male model Lucky Vanous Where is she has the line “11.30” (that’s the time when lucky shirtless washes the windows in their building, where all the ladies gather to stare and drool and drink their Diet Coke)
Lee Strasberg was the premier acting coach in the world and is the inventor of method acting. The Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Institute in NYC is the Harvard, Yale, and Dartmouth colleges of acting rolled into one. "Actors who have worked at the studio include James Dean, Julie Harris, Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Geraldine Page, Maureen Stapleton, Anne Bancroft, Dustin Hoffman, Patricia Neal, Rod Steiger, Mildred Dunnock, Eva Marie Saint, Eli Wallach, Anne Jackson, Ben Gazzara, Sidney Poitier, Karl Malden, Gene Wilder, Shelley Winters, Dennis Hopper, and Sally Field.[6][1] The Emmy Award-winning author of Inside The Actor's Studio, James Lipton, writes that the Actors Studio became "one of the most prestigious institutions in the world" as a result of its desire to set a higher "standard" in acting.[6] The founders, including Strasberg, demanded total commitment and extreme talent from aspiring students. Jack Nicholson auditioned five times before he was accepted; Dustin Hoffman, six times; and Harvey Keitel, 11 times. After each rejection, a candidate had to wait as long as a year to try again. Martin Landau and Steve McQueen were the only two students admitted one year, out of 2000 candidates who auditioned" So, yeah, "whatever that means" is a pretty big deal.
I am not sure why you feel the need to constantly explain how a movie from almost 40 years ago wouldn't be made today. I think that only reinforces how Orwellian our society has become. Laughing at ourselves has been a part of entertainment for centuries until recently. In the past everyone never took it so seriously. That says a lot more about the people of today then it does of those back then.
Constantly? I think I said it once or twice and it's actually a fact. This movie would not get made today. You don't need do be mad at me about it though. Thanks for watching.
There is nothing wrong with the movie at all! You take all those things off, and what is the point of the movie. As long as it is not done with intentions to offend there is nothing wrong with it. You need to grow a pair!
@@TheJustinRootShow Some of these comments are pathetic. It’s sad that people can’t say yes this a good film, but for some it’s dated and has some problematic things in it. Nobody is calling for it to be cancelled or whatever stupid buzzword Trumpers/conservatives like to throw around. The fake persecution with that group is tired. Good job with your video and ignore the ignorance.
There is no "date R@p#" in this movie. The male and female characters were both blackout drunk. Both parties were equally responsible for their actions and whatever happened that night. In fact, to suggest otherwise would be sexist, as men and women are completely equal
If you're putting this out there, should be a bit more clear and accurate. Saying the "Baker house" recently sold for just over a million? It sold for $1.6 so maybe better saying "just over 1.5 million" and it's not 3200 sqft. It is approx 5000 sqft. Yes, I'm a Realtor in Chicago and the details matter. Try to stay away from the politics because hearing the Trump story has no purpose with this filming location. No, I'm not a Trumper either. Just would like to see a video that stayed in its lanes of the topic. Reading comments from others here seem to agree. hmm
This is well done, but you have to stop with the politically correct stuff. Seriously, it was a place in time in the history of this country. Where things were more open, wild and free. You didn’t have people up your butt, all the time pointing out inaccuracies and what they found offensive. These were actors, acting in a film. That was many times over the top. So the characters had to be over the top. It’s sad to me that everybody wants to erase the history of this country, simply based off of how things were at the time. It’s creating a world of narcissistic, hateful people. Because now you have to be perfect in everything you say and do and nobody’s perfect. Therefore, people are creating a hostile environment and they are putting everything everybody else does under a microscope. While their own lives aren’t perfect, they are trying to tell others how to be so. The history of this country, and how people act as they grow up, it used to be called maturing. Where, kids would be kids and make mistakes, and those mistakes would teach them not to make them again. We all have done stuff over the span of our lives that we regret, but these days… You have to be condemned for anything you’ve done in your past. Because God help you if you made one mistake, because now… It should be the end of you and your career based off of these woke idealists. I appreciate you, all of the research you do for your videos in bringing the information forward for everyone to enjoy. But you don’t need to go into what’s politically correct and what’s not. Because people enjoy these films for what they are and not what they could’ve been had they been woke and politically correct. It was a place in time, that if you grew up in… You would understand how incredible it was. There was a sense of freedom and discovery and happiness that does not exist today. Again, you did a great job with this video… but, bringing up what’s considered correct today only soils the hard work that you did in creating this. People are going to point fingers these days and judge everything everybody else does. There’s no getting around that. The only thing we can do is do what we do and let the people who enjoy it… Enjoy it. nobody has to please anybody else. Because the only thing that does is appeases those people for two seconds, before they look for something else to condemn you for. It’s really saddening to me and I hate society as it is today. People forget that it used to be love thy neighbor. Now, it’s keeping up with the Joneses and if you can’t… Then you have to bring them down to your level in order to feel superior in some way. Like they are doing it for society, when in reality, they are doing it to appease their bitter selves. Again, much appreciate the work you do. You add information that nobody else does. Like when the houses were built and what it cost at the time and what they are worth today. Nobody else does that. That’s attention to detail that very few do. So again, much appreciated.
I still enjoy this move and I am comfortable with him pointing out some of the things that would not fly today. BTW the 80's were FILLLED with narcissistic and hateful people. That will never change, so get off your high horse.
The fact that you repeatedly stated that this movie would not be made today goes to show that things are not better today than they were in the past
Amen!
John Hughes had a pulse on Midwestern life. Something Hollywood lacks today.
I LOVE this film! Nothing beats Jake Ryan standing in front of his Porsche waiting for Samantha at the church. It's such an iconic moment.
A timeless, classic movie! Forget the PC aspect.
Here's a question for you. If all that ideology was so bad in these movies, why do we now and not then have many school shootings?

This was one of the most funniest movies I’ve ever saw, I laugh every time I see it,true classic ❤😊
Bravo ! Another fun and interesting tour. One of my all time favorites. !!
Thank you for this! I was a teen in the 80s and Molly Ringwald was my idol!
And now I have to go rewatch the movie! Great vid!
This is a great video. I've visited some John Hugh's sites including some your mentioned. So much info I love it!
The problem with canceling old movies because they have problematic issues is that all old movies could be canceled for this problem. We wouldn’t have anything left to watch.

Agree 100 percent. Nothing at all controversial about this movie. This is the way life was back then and he was a foreign exchange student.
Amen. No room or time for PC and woke disability/hang-ups in this modern world that continues to move forward and shed its shackles.
Yep. Nit picky, double standard, hypocritical.
Awesome! Thanks for doing this!

People USE TO BELIEVE that the character of 'Jake,' actor Michael Schoeling was the brother of actor Matt Dillon, because they looked SO MUCH ALIKE.

Molly Ringwald's OLDER sister, Beth, was not the little sister, she's the teen who gets picked up & carried away by her boyfriend at the coat table.
Yes, thank you for mentioning this!
Love your show. You commented that the jocks in the trunk scene look to be twice Cusack's age. However, they were rising high school seniors from John Hughes' hometown, as were most of the extras.

Of course, after "Sixteen Candles," and "The Breakfast Club," came the year (2000) and "American Pie," and "Not ANOTHER Teen Movie."
Would have loved to have seen you go to Superdawg even though the scene that was filmed there had been deleted. In the original script, Long Dok Dong stops at the place on the way home with Samantha and his new girlfriend. He spots a motorcycle and tries to use the motorcycle.

18:08 This is also the same street that John Hughes lived on before he became famous.

Granddad IS Edward Andrews NOT Edward Albert of Green Acres fame
At 13:52ish, the bus scene, that’s the wrong street you’re showing. Correct address is 1400 block of Walter’s Ave in Northbrook
The girl who played Sara Samantha's sister was not Molly's sister her name is Cinnamon Idles
Don’t forget Michael Schoeffling also played a gay man in 1989’s Longtime companion.
Lee Strasberg was the premier acting coach in the world and is the inventor of method acting. The Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Institute in NYC is the Harvard, Yale, and Dartmouth colleges of acting rolled into one.

Now, it’s keeping up with the Joneses and if you can’t… Then you have to bring them down to your level in order to feel superior in some way. Like they are doing it for society, when in reality, they are doing it to appease their bitter selves. Again, much appreciate the work you do. You add information that nobody else does. Like when the houses were built and what it cost at the time and what they are worth today. Nobody else does that. That’s attention to detail that very few do. So again, much appreciated.
Actually I don't have to stop with anything. Thank you for watching.
I still enjoy this move and I am comfortable with him pointing out some of the things that would not fly today. BTW the 80's were FILLLED with narcissistic and hateful people. That will never change, so get off your high horse.
