Movie Review: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Where was this movie all my life ?!?

Such an incredibly beautiful movie. And I heard about it only on the recent Oscar award telecast where they paid a visual tribute to John Hughes who passed away last year.

I can’t believe this movie is not celebrated as the best of best to come out of Hollywood. Sadly it is only listed in Best Comedies.

This movie is wise beyond any youth-oriented movie I have known or seen.

I have the ‘Bueller, Bueller’ Edition – that too at half-price clearance sale. So beautiful I could cry at this beautiful comedy (of life ? )

The direction and narration for a film from 1986 is so fresh and clever and well-done.

This is a movie which has the ever-lasting quality because it speaks about what will forever be a “human condition”.

And the performances are great. Perfect background score and music that fits the situations as if the songs were written for it.

I don’t know why I never came across this movie. And yet today there it was sitting alone in a stack of discounted VCDs and I couldn’t believe my luck. And that changed to a fortune when I had finished watching the movie.

I hope all the people in the world can see this and see beyond the jokes into what Ferris Bueller is teaching to these few who worship him – and rightly so!

As I sort through all the John Hughes movies on his profile, I see I was previously impressed by “Baby’s Day Out” and had never bothered to look through this director’s works.

“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” is a masterpiece. If you thought you deal with life as a struggle – well wake up cause it shouldn’t be a fight – dance to it and let it take you where you wanna go.

Very inspirational!

From Wikipedia:

“I think when John Hughes wrote, produced and directed Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, he was writing about a human need as basic as the human need that Jefferson wrote about in the Declaration of Independence: the need to be free, and to pursue happiness. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness – very basic stuff. And I don’t know that there’s ever been a happier movie. It’s a movie that you cannot watch without feeling really, really great.” —Ben Stein

Tidbits from 2write’s daily conversational quotes


Confucius say “Aaachhfuckyouooo !!!”

Here is my question, “Fuck You !!!”

Here is my advice, “Are you fuckin’ crazy ???”

To be or not to be, is an irrelevant question. You are either with us or against us is senseless ranting. You want the truth, you can’t handle the truth, is an exaggeration. One small step for man, doesn’t put you on the moon. As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, thy neighbour couldn’t give a rat’s ass. Oh, East is East and West is West, and never get stoned drunk when in jetlag. Political correctness is tyranny with manners you fucking douche. A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth kicks you in the balls for lying. I have a dream, but this California’s Humbodlt County makes me forget. God is dead, so are your grey cells by now. Dancing after dinner is silent poetry, farting is the side-effect. I have not failed, I’ve just found 10,000 ways to irritate my boss. A witty saying improves nothing about your stupor. An I for an I and you get Roman numeral II. Old jungle saying, don’t shit in a Phantom’s den. With great powers comes unwanted expectations of responsibility. Well done is better than well boasted. You are smarter than the average bear, which has IQ of 23. Any sufficiently advanced technology today is indistinguishable from last week’s iPod model or one released a week before that. It is dangerous to be sincere unless you are already in jail. The answer my friend is blowing gas. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the time you went away and then returned. Men are from Mars, Women wish they were on Venus instead. Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall, so go suck an egg. Elementary my Dear Dumbass! Do you feel lucky punk, blow on my dice then. So long and thanks for all the nights.
