    What a lot of people miss about Cameron is that in the scenes in his bedroom, he is feeling suicidal. The "I'm dying."/"You're not dying, you just can't think of anything good to do." bit is to show that Ferris knows that his friend gets into these bouts of depression, and has more than once had to pull him out of it. He goes about it in a self-indulgent way, but Ferris is honestly trying to keep Cameron from doing something to himself. That is why he is so fast to react in the pool scene. When Cameron finally has his cathartic moment in the garage, that is what makes Ferris think he's "going to be okay." That line has nothing to do with his buddy's potential trouble about the car, but rather that Cameron won't come to serious harm when they eventually go their separate ways.

      Uh, NO. He's NOT feeling suicidal. That's RIDICULOUS. Cameron presents as a hypochondriac because he feels he has zero personal autonomy and that he is a victim of the whims of his parents (VERY common for rich kids with ambitious, successful, wealthy parents). Because of this, he has no personal motivation in the beginning to be his own man and make his own decisions. Luckily, Cameron does not ever reach the breaking point of, say, Neil Perry in Dead Poet's Society. Enter Ferris Bueller "You're my hero". It's tongue-in-cheek and lighthearted. And after he demolishes the Ferrari, do you see a suicidal teen? NO. HE FINALLY GETS IT. Being TOO serious is the danger. He'll take the heat and have a talk with his stepfather MAN TO MAN.

He was saving Cameron from the same fate.

    One of the things I really like about this film is how, for most of it, Ferris comes off like a self-indulgent scamp who kind of uses his friends without much thought for the potential consequences the things he pushes them into might have in their lives BUT, as the movie goes on, we get peeks into his motivations to see that it's not all just Ferris being about Ferris. He's trying to pull Cameron out of his rut, he wants them all to spend time together before they go their separate ways after graduation, and, when real trouble happens with the car, Ferris immediately steps up and offers to take full blame so Cameron won't get in trouble. Yeah, Ferris is a trickster, but his motivations are deeper than they seem at first and he's ready to sacrifice himself when things actually get serious. For a character who, unlike most protagonists, doesn't evolve over the course of the story, the filmmakers achieved a similar arc by slowly revealing his motivation rather than changing it. It's underplayed in the movie and is really well done.

    • @urthboundmisfit
      @urthboundmisfit Рік тому +15

      Yeah, it's like I said in another comment here: society lets boys and men get away with a LOT without loss of reputation, so maybe Ferris would have been popular anyway, but people seem to genuinely LIKE him and that's not just by chance. He's even super good to his girlfriend, which with a lot of these popular guys that doesn't necessarily happen. People are saying "I wouldn't want my daughter dating this guy" -- whyever not? He's a gem. If my high-school boyfriend had been like him, I think my life would have gone a lot better.

    There is an argument to be made that Cameron is actually the protagonist of the film. He's the one who goes through a traditional character arc and comes out changed at the end.
    Ferris is like a trickster character here. He causes chaos wherever he goes but he brings so much life with him that people can't help but love him. Look up the trickster archetype to see what I mean. It's a traditional archetype that is present in folklore and mythology all over the world. They are boundary-crossers who playfully disrupt normal life and then re-establish it on a new basis. Loki, in the original Norse Mythology (not the MCU) is a trickster character. So is Brer Rabbit from African American folklore, Hermes from Greek mythology, and and Maui in Polynesian mythology.

    You missed the end, the end scene where the principal goes on the school bus was a way to keep the audience in the cinema to stay till the end because there's an end of credit scene, I think it was the first film to ever to use an end credit scene in a movie, but Marvel uses it all the time now.
    I watched this in the cinema theatre when it was released and the end credit scene was just the perfect ending to the film, Ferris comes out in his dressing gown telling everybody to go home and that the movie had ended,
    The movie Deadpool copied the whole Ferris end credit scene as a homage too, but not alot of people got the reference.

    Someone else may have already mentioned this but, the best part about the parade scene is that the filmmakers really did just take over a Chicago parade so, a lot of the crowd reactions really are just reactions from normal people who had come to see the parade (ignoring the choregraphed dance group, obviously 😆). Particularly, the shot of the dancing construction worker on the scaffolding was just the cameraman noticing a real construction worker dancing and rocking out to the music and was able to catch it on camera. P.S. This specific version of "Twist and Shout" was actually done by The Beatles! Though it was originally recorded by an obscure group called The Top Notes and then, later became a hit when the Isley Brothers covered it.

    • @s.mcpherson6354
      @s.mcpherson6354 Рік тому +8

      Please don't take this as a challenge, it's just a clarification. They did put their own float in a real parade without telling everyone, but the media had reported the film was shooting as Hughes was known in the area. That brought an even bigger crowd down. But in total, the parade scene was a three day shoot with rehearsals. (They came back the following weekend.) You're right about a lot of it being spontaneous. Broderick was hurt and couldn't do the choreography on the float, so they just winged it. But you can't set up many close-ups in a real parade, hence them coming back.

    I am at the point where the valet service returns the car. It wasn't just two random people that went on a joyride, it was the valet service dudes, and rather than taking it immediately and parking it and then retrieving it later, they did this long joyride. That's why when it comes back, Cameron says, wow that was quick. Sometimes it seems like it takes forever for the valet service to go retrieve the vehicle and bring it back. Especially when you are anxious to leave.

More of Ferris talking directly to the audience. Its after all the credits have rolled. It puts he cap on the movie. Your observation about kids in the 80's is spot on.

      I thought his breakout movie was 1983's Wargames. Ferris Bueller's Day Off was the movie that made him a big star.

      @@arthurplane9682 He was also a pretty successful stage actor before both War Games and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
      He was actually wanted by Gary David Goldberg for the role of Alex Keaton in Family Ties (1982) before Michael J Fox was cast
      Before playing Ferris he was in the stage play by Neil Simon called Biloxi Blues where he worked with Alan Ruck (Cameron) and then Broderick returned in 1988 for the film adaptation of the play

    My mom took me to see this the first week it came out (got a free button and poster).
    Not a film a twelve-year-old should watch with a parent, but I am so grateful for the memory!
    Thank you for this one!

    I giggled and laughed out loud the entire time I watched this. I forgot how funny this movie was. 🤣🤣🤣

    A movie that continually was breaking the 4th wall. Matthew Broderick was 24 years when he was in this movie. So many other movies have paid homage to this movie's end credits

    it looked like you quit before the final sceene after the credits. This is one of my all time favorites.

    My favorite part is that little "whoa" laugh Cameron gives after the car crashes ☮️

    Such a fun movie.Back when Chicago (the Loop, anyway) was fun. Was my high school band in the parade for "Twist & Shout." They were in the parade scene for "Blues Brothers" as well. And when Ferris is beatin' feet on the way home at the end, well, that Ska music is just the best.
