1986 Directed by John Hughes
A high school slacker pretends to be sick to skip school and have an exciting day off alongside his girlfriend and his best buddy through Chicago, while trying to outwit his obsessive school principal and his unconformited sister along the way.
ferris bueller is the original manic pixie dream boy. the “””quirky””” clashing patterns. the whimsical public singing and dancing. the naïve-yet-admirable way he manages to truly treasure the scraps of joy we scavenge from existence. how he ultimately exists so others (namely cameron) can reflect on their own cynicism and lack of passion in their dull lives. his constant performance of this apocryphal persona of what he thinks a Cool Guy would act like so he doesn’t have to excavate the real version of himself. (haha just kidding, that would imply depth!)
but the most damning evidence of all, the ultimate MPDB proof: he’s not even the protagonist of his own movie.
ferris stays more or less the same throughout…
In a selfish attempt to cope with his separation anxiety, a sociopathic student abuses his relationship with his mentally unstable best friend in order to throw his future away on a single day of raucous debauchery.
i got lost today in the art institute trying to find the painting that cameron had an existential crisis in front of but it was fucking worth it
"Oh, he's very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude."
I have seen this film more times than I can count and I still do not understand the age difference between ferris and jeannie?????? I always assumed that jeannie was older but then why are they both in high school??? ferris is leaving school next year so there's no way that jeannie could be a year older unless she was held back?????? and if she's younger then how come she got a car and he didn't????????? are they meant to be twins???????? are they less than a year apart in age but still in the same school year????? someone please explain this to me or I'm gonna have to resurrect john hughes to clear this up
Sympathisch, Easy to watch und locker 20 Minuten zu lang gefühlt. Inzwischen wohl auch ziemlich dated. Overall aber genießbar.
someone on here called ferris "the original manic pixie dream boy" and i wholeheartedly agree
twist and shout and danke schoen on the float outsold EVERY musical performance ever and that’s that!
If you hate this film then you're as exciting as that teacher calling attendance in the movie.
