I’ve just had a revelation about “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”


One of the first and very last lines of the film is “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”The entire film centres around this line.Throughout the film, Ferris only escapes sticky situations by one of two things: Either he notices something that others don’t, or the people around him are too distracted by something else to spot him. Ferris’ dad repeatedly fails to see his son when the two are right next to each other; His mother completely misses him being right in front of her due to spilling her paper sheets all over Jean/Shauna’s car; Ferris notices a slot for the exact time at the restaurant reservation books; Rooney looks away from the bat’s TV screen right as it shows Ferris and Cameron; This happens constantly throughout the film.Even the protagonists fail to notice certain things at times, most notably being the stealing of the Ferrari. Essentially, the characters are too caught up in life moving fast that they don’t stop and look around, leading to them missing things.If you didn’t know this already, I seriously recommend going back to the film and watching it with this in mind - you will catch on to so many things that you didn’t before. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/HCqiIBw
