(1986, Dir. John Hughes)
In Short: High school senior Ferris Bueller fakes an illness to skip school with his best friend and his girlfriend so they can explore the city of Chicago. The main idea here is that it's necessary to take a break once in a while and not to take everything so seriously. Every character kind of has their own lesson to teach, from best friend Cameron to sister Jeannie to the principal to Ferris himself. The montage-y aspect of this film really lends itself to making it feel fun and adventurous and gives it a nice wide scope. The scene in the police station between Jeannie and The Guy Sitting in the Police Station is oddly poignant though still funny. I guess my sister and I were the last people on the planet to have not seen this movie, but better late than never, right? I loved this! It's clearly a classic for a reason. It was a lot of fun but not devoid of any sort of emotional resonance. I appreciate that. 8/10 sound effect keyboards.
