Thank you for posting this! I read some character analyses and I was somewhat confused by them because they were so different from what I saw in John Bender.

I watched the film just now and I was so impressed by him. Talking of impressed - there's this quote you can find on google more than once:

Spend a little more time trying to make something of yourself and a little less time trying to impress people.

That's what the teacher told Bender after giving him 2 months of saturday detention. I think it's a totally misused quote.

The whole film through Bender is provocating everyone. I too think that he actually wants to wake them up, he wants them to realize their own behaviour, and he is able to do so because he can actually see through all their appearances and he knows where it hurts. And they're following his lead because all of them want to change for the better.

I'm really really impressed, John Bender became one of my heroes :)
