Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Don't let the title fool you, Cameron Frye is the protagonist in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Cameron is the emotional center of the film. He grew the most emotionally and he has an obvious evolution. At the start of the movie, there is a brief look into the life of high school senior - Cameron Frye. He starts the film off by lying sick and depressed in bed. Ferris states "His (Cameron's) home life is really twisted... That's why he is always sick...If I had to live in that house, I'd probably pray for disease too." Cameron's house is cold and quiet, but his parents are even colder. Cameron is emotionally distant from his father. IN the film, Cameron makes the point that his father loves his car more than his own son. During the movie, Cameron

    Ferris Bueller: Possible or Not?

    Ferris, Sloane, and Cameron spend one amazing day ditching school, exploring the great city of Chicago and take time to visit many landmarks and take part in many exciting activities. The day depicted in the movie would be a great and exciting day for anyone, but is it possible for them to have done all of the things they did in one day? I believe it is reasonable to believe that Ferris and company may have been able to do all the things they did in the movie in one day.…

    Ferris Bueller Day Off Analysis

    If I could be in any movie, I would be in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. The movie is about Ferris Bueller, a troublemaking senior in high school, who skips school for a day with his girlfriend, Sloane, and best friend, Cameron. On their day off, they explore downtown while escaping getting caught, fooling people into thinking he’s very sick. I would be in this movie because it would be very fun to get out of school for a day and go downtown with friends. With all of the hard work we have to do in school, I think having a day off would be an adventurous, relaxing, enjoyable break. Additionally, Ferris and his friends visit many tourist attractions and locations on their trip, including the skydeck of the Sears Tower, Wrigley Field, and the Art Institute.…

    Who Is John Bender Mature In The Breakfast Club

    In the film, The Breakfast Club (1985), John Bender, the slovenly rebel at Shermer High School in Chicago, is serving a Saturday detention with four very different students. Right from the beginning, Bender exhibits the qualities of a destructive and thoughtless criminal, i.e., he taunts everyone else in order to hide his personal inadequacies. Whenever Bender is questioned by his peers about a personal issue, or whenever he cannot provide a clear answer to a question, he—albeit defensively— responds in a facetious and irritated manner. Bender demonstrated this when Andrew Clark, the "sporto", told him that he did not count, and that "if [he] disappeared forever it wouldn't make any difference." Distraught from Andrew's blunt comment, Bender sarcastically retorted, "Well, I'll just run right out and join the wrestling team..." As time goes on, Bender slowly sheds his rough attitude and starts opening up his true self to the other students.…

    Analysis Of Ferris Bueller's Day Off

    I am Janelle Bautista, a college freshman, and I do not know what I am doing right now. Each year, my English teachers would give various essays, and every time the whole class had no clue what to write. Everyone would all stare at the computer screen blankly, and ponder as to where to start. However, once an idea sparks, the first sentence turns into a paragraph then it finally becomes pages long. Everyone can stare at the screen forever, but the essay will not be done unless you start writing, just like college, and life. However, life will continue whether the first step is taken or not. College and life are a long essays waiting to be written. Although college benefits those who obtain a degree, the only question that remains is what to…

    Ferris Bueller: Eighties Trickster

    In folklore the trickster is vastly important; they are often times both the hero and the villain in their stories. Their classification is also one of the most specific in storytelling, needing to be a mediator, a shape shifter, and display amorality to be classified as a true trickster. Every culture seems to have their own version of the trickster; the Norse had Loki, the people from Ghana had Anansi, and the Greeks had Prometheus. Just as it is in folklore, films often utilize the trickster archetype and none more so than John Hughes’ Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Ferris displays the classic characteristics of a trickster; he mediates between parties of people, applies “shape shifting” by the way of disguises, and displays quite a bit of amorality throughout the film. These actions call to mind the myths of Loki and Anansi as they both have stories that possess similar elements to Ferris’ adventure.…
