Please bear with me whilst I get this profile up and running!!
If you have any suggestions or tips as to what should go in here then please let me know!!
Well, as you have probably guessed this is a profile for PRETTY IN PINK fans...The main reason for this profile, is beacuse I LOVE this film soooooo much and I wanted everyone to know just HOW good that it TRULY is!
The film PRETTY IN PINK first came about on an average day, with average weather, and average surroundings...well, not quite!!
It was actually on the set of Sixteen Candles that actress Molly Ringwald sat talking to writer/director John Hughes abouth the GREAT song PRETTY IN PINK by the Psychedlic Furs and this little chat, planted a seed...a seed which later blossomed into the greatest film ever.
You see, John Hughes is not an average director!
He gets emotionally attached to his films and their characters...he gets to know and love them, they become his friends and so needless to say, when a film ends, he becomes heartbroken and wants the experience all over again.
He wants to make new friends and to go throught the traumas of teenage angst, he wants to feel love lost and forlorn, and like life just ISN'T fair!!
This is what makes him such a good, writer/director and makes ALL of his movies appeal to so many different types of people, who in turn empathise with his characters and learn to love them.
This is what makes the BRATPACK movies so fantastic and so timeless (well, apart from some of the glorious 80's fashion faux pas).
So, as the film Sixteen Candles was drawing to an end and the set of Samantha's bedroom was being torn down, John (we are on first name terms now...as we are great friends!! I wish) was so overwhelmed by a sense of loss that he felt the need to go off and write a new film, with new characters, and new bedrooms.
So, one week later, still feeling saddened and somewhat abandoned, John goes off and writes PRETTY IN PINK!!
YEY!!!
So, THANK YOU Molly Ringwald, for having such great taste in music and for planting that seed....I honestly believe that without this film, I would not have turned out to be the well rounded person that I am today (well, strictly speaking, I am still trying), I do believe that there are certain films, which you watch whilst growing up, in-which you learn how to become a REAL person and be yourself!! and PRETTY IN PINK is most definitely, my number one!!
Well, with that all said...I'm off like a dirty shirt!!
