Ferris Bueller's Day Off [The Hidden Meaning]

Фильм және анимация

Why do we love Ferris Bueller? Is it the great quotes? The escapism? Or is there something deeper?
First, Ferris Bueller's Day Off is actually about Cameron Frye. It isn't really about Ferris. Ferris is the mentor of the story. He acts as a savior to Cameron. Cameron is the one needing a day off. He is the unlikely hero of the story.

    The ladies sunbaking away from the sun The fact that Ferris Bueller is so ideal and Sloan so beautiful The whole city rallying behind Ferris with the gifts, water tower and stadium and the news paper with a Ferris Bueller title and a unrelated article Its a dream from Cameron coming to terms with his problems Its a dream Its Cameron coming to terms with his issues through a natural style of a dream a teen would have Even the post credit He's in his bed robe saying it's over The whole film is a dream Ferris is also a reference to a Ferris wheel Fun circle ⭕ of perfection Its a dream.

    Considering the pool scene and the meaning behind the core character's names, do you think there is some kind of hidden significance with Ferris' girlfriend Sloane? Perhaps her name meaning is 'warrior' because she breaks out of the "prison". Although it was Ferris who did that for her.

    The meaning of the name "Ferris" relates to iron. It does not mean "rock". That being said, this was certainly an interesting perspective on this classic film.

    There is a strong argument that FBDO is just a dream of Cameron's - especially given the fantasy elements with the parade. I think the sub story of his sister and the principal make that less believable. What do they have to do with Cameron? I do think the baptism observation is spot on. I can't believe that never dawned on me.

    The movie is a fantasy comedy. We love it because we would all have loved to be like Ferris in High school. But if you want to take a serious look at it, Ferris is really a bad dude. In the original script, he steals money from his dad's safe to pay for the day. Taking the car is a real dik move that in real life would incur severe consequences for both him and Cameron. The way he lies so much to his parents is pretty bad.

    - 3:00 what's an antagonist? No one uses that word in normal speak. Only people that talk about books and movies use that word. - Also, why do people sometimes use the word protagonist? What in the world does that mean?

    Thanks for calling me out on that! I have used and heard those words so much in my readings and associations that I forget they aren't 'normal speak'. The protagonist means the main character of the movie (often referred to as the hero - even if they aren't actually heroic) and the antagonist is the character that opposes the hero and tries to prevent them from achieving their goal (the 'bad guy'). Hope that helps!
