Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (5/5)
Posted on 4 Sep 2009
More Hughes on the brain here and so pleased at how this classic has aged. I vividly recall seeing this in the theater back in 4th grade and loving every minute of it (of course I’ve seen it twenty times since). Nowadays, I see the central arc of the story as Ferris hoping on behalf of his best friend Cameron; giving him a day of such joy and adventure that his fears will no longer dictate his life. Beautiful.

Exactly – the movie is about Cameron, if you ask me.
