Assignment #17 - Megan Ewing - Ferris Bueller's Day Off

I’ve recently had the pleasure of re-watching the classic cinematic masterpiece that is Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. This movie encapsulates the teenage dream, even 34 years after its release. Matthew Brodrick as Ferris Bueller, Mia Sara as his girlfriend Sloane Peterson, and Alan Ruck as his best friend Cameron Frye, are all talented and encapsulate their roles excellently, though they are over aged for these roles. Jeffrey Jones as Ed Rooney and Jennifer Grey as Jeanie Bueller both do fantastic jobs of epitomizing the insanity of stiff-necked individuals trying to catch a teenager in a lie that only hurts themselves. Ferris, Jeanie, and Rooney’s plot lines are masterfully woven together in the end, leading to chapter development for Jeanie and Cameron, even over just a single day. Ferris asks big life questions, leading the audience down similar roads. Overall, this movie can be just about anything you want it to be? A comedy? Check! A fun movie leading to an existential crisis? Also check!
