Aussie boy's thoughts
When you’re able to ditch maturity and associate with Ferris Bueller’s bright characteristics, you’ll experience one hell of a day off. John Hughes certainly knows how to cleverly and victoriously deliver that intention, all by simply just creating quirky characters and stirring them within amusing events. From there and on, every touch and every moment is perfect.
Matthew Broderick’s Ferris Bueller is energetic, enthusiastic and couldn’t be portrayed any brighter, being quirky without becoming overly weird. There’s two types of labeled characters in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off; the fun ones and the sensible ones. They’re identities are exactly what they’re titled as, and it’s a huge lot of fun to witness them sort of versing to get their way throughout the lively day. You can take agreement and sympathy to either of the perspectives, but there’s really only one winner at the end of the day.
The fizz of the characters always contributes to the rest of the story. The whole movie is enjoyable fun, all whilst making you actually laugh out loud and bringing you a sense of brightness. Ferris also approaches several moments in which he’ll hilariously talk to the audience and lead OUR way through a fantastic day off, whilst being hunted down by his principle. In the sense that there’s the threat towards the protagonists inflicted by their responsible principle, this film is sort of like another coming-of-age classic by John Hughes: The Breakfast Club. It’s even got some of The Breakfast Club’s dramatic conversation and can-relate talks, but in this case, it’s mainly when Cameron talks about his father.
