Don't You Forget About Me (2010)

Directed by Matt Sadowski-Austin

Documentary

Most recently watched by noahphex, jenerator

Overview

Throughout the ’80s John Hughes defined the teen movie genre and spoke not only to that generation’s teens, but every generation that has followed. Then in 1991 he hung up his director’s hat and disappeared into obscurity ala J.D Salinger. In 2008, a group of young Canadian filmmakers set out to complete a documentary about the man with what they hoped would culminate with an interview, which would be his first since 1999.

Rated R | Length 74 minutes

Viewing Notes

I had been following this documentary when I first read about it on the net. I, like pretty much everyone, am a huge John Hughes fan. I’m interested in anything about him.

This documentary gets interviews with pretty much all the big players in Hughe’s movies except Matthew Broderick, and lots of his fans who are filmmakers themselves.

While I enjoyed all the commentary and patting on the back of John Hughes, who is well deserving of it, by the time the crew got around to trying to actually get in touch with him at his house I really just wanted them to leave him alone. Seriously, if the guy wants to be a recluse, then let him be! I’m pretty sure he’s well damn aware of how influential he was and that’s likely why he doesn’t want to be bothered.

Beyond that, the rest of the movie was worth a watch to me, even if it didn’t give me any true insight into the mind of the filmmaker. I did enjoy seeing young people wax poetic on his films, even though the films are older than they are.
