Good lord. If you grew up in the 80s, who didn't want to live that one day... just one day... in vicarious fashion through the person of Ferris Bueller.
We were always fascinated with the ubiquitous and near prophet-like brand in which Bueller held in the movie... "You know Ferris Bueller?"
And for maintaining such a leisurely pace throughout most of the movie, they sure did accomplish quite a bit (it was June in Chicago... days are a bit longer than here in Southern California, so maybe that explains it).
Which brings us to this:
Cameron creates Ferris in his mind.
Ladies and Gentlemen, from England, here's The English Beat performing "March of the Swivelheads" and which is titled "Rotating Heads" on their outstanding Special Beat Service album.

While I commend ten dollar popcorn for thinking outside the box on the existential "Cameron creates Ferris in his mind" theory...I'm kinkda thinking this guy never really saw any movies in the 80's. None of them have a timelines that make any sence. I can only imagine what his take on the original Footloose might be! Fantacy for fantacy's sake and soundtracks that outperformed their films.
P.S. little known 80's film fact...Flashdance is a Jerry Bruckheimer film....shot exactly like his action flicks. Really.
Re: Flashdance. Like finding out the effeminate kid in your Geometry class came out at the 10 yr. reunion, in retrospect that really isn't a surprise.
If colleges can offer degrees in LGBT studies, why not one for 80s flicks? Like one has any more social benefit than the other?
Ferris Bueller is half a century old.
Looks pretty good for a fifty year old, but... the guy who played a teenager when I was little is old enough to easily be a grandparent!
80's film studies, why not? All those fantastical plot lines and scenarios were really just a celebration of digging out of the 1970's. Oh, look, Romancing the Stone is on at 4.
