> Remember that movies are HIGHLY produced works
True, but also John Hughes was notoriously fast at producing works. There are independent rumors [1] that he wrote first drafts for both Ferris Bueller's Day Off and The Breakfast Club in a day.
That's not to say he couldn't invest in explaining his motivations to the production designers, but sometimes a personality and idea is clear enough in your head, you can spill its' dialogue out without filters.

- abakker 4y agoDefinitely true, but also doesn't negate the fact that he may have "understood" the choices he made and their impact even while working fast. After all, improvising musicians, Bob Ross, and comedians often make great choices "in the moment". put more succinctly, the speed of a decision doesn't necessarily mean it was not well considered, at least in art.
