The first film ever created was made by Louis Le Prince on October 14, 1888. At the time, all films were silent and the movie theater was seen as a simpler and cheaper way to entertain the masses. Since 1888, millions of films have been made in every language and around the world. Many of these films have a connection to psychology and its theories, my favorite film is The Breakfast Club which has a connection to Gordon Allport's contact hypothesis. The Breakfast Club was made in 1985 and since then it has been used by various psychologists to explain psychology theories in a simple way. The Breakfast Club is a 1985 film, directed by John Hughes. The plot follows five students at Shermer High School, as they report for detention on Saturday, March 24, 1984.

Brian Johnson "The Brain" is a typical nerd, he is very smart at school, but has no idea about relationships, parties or drugs. Andy Clark "The Athlete" is a popular kid at Shermer High, he is the varsity letterman, captain of the wrestling team, and a ladies' man. Finally, the last student in detention is Allison Reynolds “The Basket Case”. She barely speaks to anyone in the school and acts really strange when approached. The school's disciplinary director, Mr. Vernon, gives the students the assignment to write an essay on "who you think you are......on a full sheet of paper......and encouraged by institutional supports, the teacher did not allow any type of contact between students. However, this worked better than if contact was allowed. In this particular situation, the ban on communication between students actually encouraged them to talk, in order to defy the rules and make detention more pleasant. Finally, the results were obtained to reduce tensions between groups and promote perceptions of common interests and common humanity. The students realized that they misjudged each other because of stereotypes, they learned and by opening up to each other, they had a lot in common and formed good relationships. The film teaches us to look beyond the cover and discover who someone is as a person.
