Ferris Bueller's Day Off
11 June 1986
Directer: John Hughes
Cast:
Ferris Bueller's Day Off. One of the best comedies of all time, It is a movie that just stands the test of time. How anyone could not love this film is beyond any of my understanding, Ferris Bueller is my hero among many others. John Hughes is usually remembered more for The Breakfast Club, which is an incredible movie as well, but I think this was his masterpiece.
It is an icon in the film industry with some of the most
famous scenes in the history of film, the first time I watched it was when I
was a kid with the fascination of what teenage life would be like which in my
eyes this films sums up the fun times every person should experience as a
teenager I can see why I loved it then. This film, more than any of the other many films John Hughes made about idealized teenage life, is a perfect fantasy of what being a teenager must be
like, and it’s one best appreciated by those who have not yet been through the teenage years.
One of my favorite all time scenes and i am sure many others has got to be the parade scene. with hilarious lip-synching and outrageous dancing all adding to create one brilliantly filmed piece. Plus you have got to love
Edward Rooney, the obsessed principal who tries to keep the school under control but can't seem to keep Ferris in line. Rooney is also ageist, being shown up is bad enough, but
for Rooney the ultimate insult is being shown up by a kid. The scene between him and Grace when Cameron prank calls to get
Ferris' girlfriend out of school is just too hilarious and will have you in
stitches With Rooney apologizing to one of his own students.Everything about this film was gold, from the conversations with the audience to the little back stories which seem to shape the overall structure of the film. Gross-out comedies may now be the norm, at least we can look back to this film and enjoy a good, genuine laugh.
