Fun Trivia Fact: The construction worker dancing on the scaffolding during "Twist & Shout" was an actual construction worker working adjacent to the set. He started dancing to the music and they filmed it, the shot making it into the final scene.
they ended up paying him $500 as an extra. ( I just made that up) sorry
Absolutely no one cries during Ferris Bueller. This woman is a treasure and needs to be protected!
I want my two dollars!
Go outside
@@pleaseshutup7053
Nahhhh I'm good.
@@PokeysteveRV touch some grass
@@pleaseshutup7053
I'm in Phoenix. There is no grass.
Matthew was 23 at the time of filming. Alan Ruck was 29. Mia Sara was 18. Still they all did fantastic performances.
Also, Jennifer Grey was 25 at the time.
The great animator, Chuck Jones once said, “Bugs is who we want to be. Daffy is who we are.”
When I was in high school, I wanted to be Ferris Bueller, but Cameron is who I was.
Or even worse most people are like Janine, mad and bitter that they can't be like Ferris so they take it out on everyone else. Janine's character arc is just as important as Cameron's.
I love the conversation at the police station with Charlie Sheen's character. It was simple and straight and to the point. She was so angry and moody because she was preoccupied with what Ferris does instead of living her own life and was afraid to take risks like Ferris because of fear of getting caught which is ironic because Ferris was at risk of getting caught throughout the whole movie and even did get caught by Rooney at the end but Ferris was willing to take the risks.
@@lirpa2300 well, besides Jeanie there are many people like Rooney who feel the need to control everyone and punish anyone who refuses to be controlled.
The rewatchability of this movie is off the charts. It never gets old.
Absolutely!
Because the message is still relevant
@@DaveCrokaertthere's a message in this movie?
@@dannykent6190eh yeah, the main character says it twice, but that’s not the only one.
@@dannykent6190 “Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” (to name the most obvious one)
I am BEYOND impressed that you immediately noticed that Cameron is the one who "grows" over the course of this movie.
I have even heard people make the argument that Cameron is actually the main character. Despite having his name in the title, Ferris Bueller is not exactly the main focus of the story, because he NEVER changes. He faces no consequences. He never grows-up. He's Peter Pan. He's magic.
Cameron becomes an adult. Cameron learns to come to terms with the fraught relationship he has with his father. Ferris just continues untouched by life.
Also the sister stops hating Ferris and actually defends him facing off the principal and meets a new bf.
Exactly! Ferris, is the narrator. Cameron is us the audience. Who we were at that turbulent stage in life, transitioning from child to adult.
Ferris IS magical. Basically, he's everyone's manic-pixie-dream-boy.
@@X-Gen-001 That is an EXCELLENT point that had never really come together for me. Ferris is the narrator! Ferris is participating in the story, but he is also TELLING the story to the audience. Ferris is telling us the story about how his best friend Cameron learned how to deal with his father conflict in an adult way. Very good!
Cameron is the protagonist of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I have thought this for years and years. And Salieri is the protagonist of "Amadeus", and Red is the protagonist of Shawshank.
The"Dots" technique is called Pointillism.
It's called stippling.
@@Kruel2kare a simple Google search get this
First, stippling is done with pen and ink while pointillism uses paint and brush. Second, stippling art is normally done with a single color scheme and avoids blending dots of different colors. Pointillism is unique in that it incorporates different dot colors that blend together to create desired shades of color
@@Kruel2kareno its called pointellism. Stippling is drawing with dots that blend together to make a contrast of light and shadow. Pointelism is using paint with several dots in large scale so that from a distance it makes a complete art work of both color and light and shadow. Same concept but not the same end product. The tapestry cameron is looking at is specifically an example of pointelism.
@@Kruel2kareStippling is more of a technique. Pointillism is its own artistic movement, or at least a kind of sub genre of Impressionism.
The Impressionists wanted to explore optics and how our eyes interpret the mixing of colors, and the Pointillists took that concept in their own direction.
The painting is "Study on La Grande Jatte" by Georges Seurat. The style is called Pointillism.
I think what is overlooked a bit is the wholesome relationship between Cameron and Sloan, there is no love triangle, they are just solid friends. When they are alone at the parade, talking about their future.
He's not blind though. He peeped on her changing near the pool. Creepy-ish, sure (especially as seen through the lens of 2024), but Mia Sara (Sloane) is STAGGERINGLY beautiful.
🤷♂️❤️
@@chriskelly3481She knows Cam well enough that it doesn't bother her.

i saw this movie in the theater when it came out there was two parts changed from when i saw it in the theater at the very end when Ferris goes back in to the bathroom he came out twice and told the people to go home both times . but now i don't remember the other part that was changed i think it was at the Restaurant or the Parade . but there is a part it's just Cameron and Sloan in the scene and i think that is where the whole Ferris is really a figment of Cameron's Imagination started from .
The monotone teacher was played by Ben Stein. Stein is wicked smart; he wrote speeches for two presidents and he used to have his own game show, "Win Ben Stein's Money."
That show is where I first became familiar with Ben. I also remember that his original co-host/announcer on that show was Jimmy Kimmel.
"wicked smart" when it comes to economic history, but an absolute idiot when it comes to biology. He made an entire movie claiming that evolution is a hoax and that the school system suppresses the "truth" of creationism. He interviewed experts in bad faith and dishonestly edited the footage to make it sound like they were saying things that they never said.
He's a respected economist, lawyer, and conservative commentator. He's also a Nixon apologist and evolution denier. For this film, in the scenes where he's teaching, the script just called for him to give one of his economics lectures, so that's what he did.
Ben Stein actually wrote the economics lecture we see in the movie.
LOVED that game show
John Hughes was such a freakin' GENIUS. We owe so much of our pop culture to him. His use of music in his movies was inspired. The soundtracks were very nearly characters on their own.
I graduated from high school in 1980. It truly was the best of times. And yes, Olivia Newton John was a babe.
she was more than just her appearance.
class of 81 here. ONJ was one of my first celeb crushes.
Class of 87
No, sir...she was THE Babe.
@@RoGueNavy Farrah was right there, too.
I was a senior in HS when this came out, so it is one of my favorite movies. It still holds up almost 40 years later.
"The principal is kind of creepy"
Ahem...understatement....
well he's a convicted pedo, so there is no surprise there
I just turn off my knowledge of that fact whenever I see any movie with him in it.
Yeah, kind of unfortunate on the actor's history.
Oooooohhhh Yeeeaaaahhhh!
Someone passed their perception check...
The most unrealistic part of this movie is Cameron walking around Chicago in a Gordie Howe Red Wings jersey and not getting the shit kicked out of him once.
I wear football and baseball caps usually completely counter to the teams in my area, and nobody has a problem with it. When I was a kid OTOH.....
I never skipped a day of school, or even a single class, until the end of my senior year of high school. But after my final exams and everything, I still had like two weeks left of school. I already passed; I was just waiting for graduation. So I decided I would skip just one day. I picked a day when I didn't really have any homework or anything. My Dad always dropped me off at school, but my older brother was home from college, so I offered to buy him McDonald's breakfast if he picked me up. He agreed. So after my dad dropped me off, I went into the school, waited a few minutes to he sure he was gone, and then started heading towards the McDonald's nearby.
As I was walking off school grounds, my English teacher pulled into the parking lot right next to me. He stopped, rolled down his window, and asked where I was going. And I just told him outright what I was doing and why.
He said, "Well... I don't have anything for you in class today. So I guess I'll see you tomorrow."
That’s a cool teacher who gets it
I missed a ridiculous number of classes in 11th and 12th grade. Even worse, I would corrupt my friends into ditching. Sometimes we would even drive up to the next county where I used to live and get one of my friends up there to ditch as well at lunch time. Thankfully there was no computer keeping track of attendance at my new school, although I did eventually get caught.
There was a tv show called Kyle XY, where he drew everthing this way.
Thank God, I thought this story was going to end badly 😂
Amazing. I knew I was making up for somebody. 🤣
It's an all-time classic, because it's not simply a movie. It's an experience.
Alan Ruck (Cameron) doesn't get enough love out there in the world. People generally love him in this, but ignore a lot of his other work.
Speed? Spin City? Twister? Plus a hundred TV bit parts.
@@YourXavierJust off the top of my head, I would add to that list a recurring role on Bunheads that was fairly important to the show.
The love for him will be arriving on Tuesday.
He was a captain of the Enterprise;) and a tornado chasher
Succession!
The girl in class, Simone, was a young Kristy Swanson. Known as Buffy The Vampire Slayer (movie) and she played Adam Sandler’s first girlfriend in Big Daddy.
The instrumental being played in the museum of art scene, is a reprise of "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want" by The Smiths.
The pay phone scene was originally written for her, but due to a change in the shooting schedule, my friend and high school classmate got that scene. Hughes felt bad about taking away the scene and wrote the “Simone” scene for Swanson 🙂
She also had a recurring role as Lassiter's love interest in later seasons of Psych.
@@NorthwindFusilier
As well as Pretty in Pink, Dude, Where’s My Car? and she was a Playboy Playmate.
I was just giving some vague examples, really.
Ferris' mum and dad in this film met and fell in love on the show, then married in real life.
And later divorced...
Broderick and Grey started dating too. Until Broderick killed 2 people with his car with her as a passenger.
@@lionhead123 Wow 😮
@@lionhead123 1
@@Madbandit77 Everyone divorces...
I've lost 3 grandmothers, 3 grandfathers (4 grandfathers if you count my mother's father, who disowned my mother before I was born, and whom I never met), and still have one grandmother still alive.
"You're not dying. You just can't think of anything good to do."
Let my Cameron go!
Was the officially turning point to full Fight Club mode.
I seriously think the museum scene is one of the better scenes in any film, period. It's a reprieve from the frantic pace that the movie has been moving at for the first half and is a quiet reflection on the fact that, despite your desire to hold on to youthful joy and wonder forever, the inevitable future will still remain.
There's no dialogue, just images, there's music but no words.
It starts with them holding hands in a chain with pre-teens, indulging one last time in an innocent childhood that will be lost forever when they graduate. Their last “field trip” before Ferris, Sloan and Cameron head out into the real world.
It ends with Ferris kissing his highschool girlfriend, someone who he will most likely lose to the passage of time, but, in this moment, they are as infinite as the stained-glass sky behind them.
Cameron stares in horror at the little girl in the Seurat painting. As he examines the constitute parts that make up her face in closer detail he sees what he is afraid is his own reflection. She's not there - she's nothing. Just a handful of colours. As he transitions into his own life, without Ferris, without his parents, will he also melt away into the frame?
So beautiful.
To be fair, Jeanie had a point. I can understand why she’s angry.
When your sibling gets away with everything, it’s very irritating.
What Charlie Sheen’s character said might be true, but it’s not that simple. Worrying about yourself and not your sibling might be easy for him to say because he’s not in that situation.
Born in 1974 (Just turned 50) I was 6 in 1980 and 16 in 1990. I grew up in the 1980's and Yes it was the best decade to grow up in! I feel bad for people that didnt get to experience it! Just a reminder to everyone now that Im 50....Stay off your phone becacause " Life moves pretty fast and if you stop and look around every once and a while...you could miss it!"
Same, kids can't live in the moment without assisted electronics, it's like a digital wheelchair and life support
1974 club member right here.
@@tru3sk1ll You should cut kids some slack. There's nowhere for them to go and hang out the way we did (even if their parents would allow the independence). Shopping malls are closed. McDonald's and a movie costs like $30. A coffee is $6-7 and they'll want you gone after an hour, if that. You can only hang out for free at the park so many times, and what about when the weather is shitty?
You're talking as if they choose their phones over other possibilities, but the world is different now. Adults made it so being on their phones is often the best and sometimes only way for kids to connect with their friends, then we turn around and blame them for it. What do you think Ferris would have to say about it?
but ... I am reading your comment on a phone ...
@@noodle_fc Blame your parents, they wanted inflation and open borders, they are the ones who made the world you live in, only you can choose whether or not you want to be part of the problem or the solution, books still exist
The Wrigley Field marque STILL flashes "Save Ferris" every once in a while before games while people are lined up to see a Cubs game. Never fails to bring a chuckle to the crowd.
She missed that in the reaction.
@@kbrewski1 Yeah, I know that missed her edit, but I just assumed that most people in the comments section had seen the movie 30 to 40 times over the years, like myself.
I saw this in 1987 when I was 11 at my friends on VHS best comedy
Ferris saying "we ate pancreas" was a reference to a deleted scene from the fancy restaurant after they got their table. They ordered something called "sweetbread", and only found out after they had eaten (and enjoyed) some of it that the dish is, in fact, pancreas, usually from a calf or lamb. All three of them then simultaneously "cough" into their napkins to spit out the pancreas currently in their mouths, and calmly say "cheque, please".
This has been in my top 5 favorite movies for years. I lost count of how many times i have seen it. It was cool to see somebody watch it for the first time and get the same joy i got out of it the first time i saw it.
In the novelisation (WELL worth a read), Cameron is obsessed with the Seurat painting as he feels it symbolises his life: seemingly together at a distance, completely devoid of connection up close.
I always interpreted it as "The closer you look, the more nothing is there". Same idea.
Ferris Bueller is one of the best feel-good movies ever made...PERIOD! Glad you got to experience it.
"This principal's kind of creepy." Oooooooooooooohhhhhhhh, you have NO idea, Miranda...let's just say that the actor playing him went FAR beyond Kevin Spacey territory.
Jones just took pictures, spacey peformed the actual act
@@KentuckyBrad Yeah, but he is still a super creep and a registered s*x offender.
Beat me to it
@@KentuckyBrad Spacey was acquitted. Jones was found guilty.
@joshuaash3149 MJ and Jimmy Saville were never convicted of anything so that's a low bar
I’m 70 years old, and absolutely love this movie. We all need to keep a little bit of Ferris in ourselves. Cameron is a definite favorite character. New sub❤️
It's amazing how the same movie can be completely representative of its time, and yet also completely timeless.
Ladyhawke and war games are Matthew's best other movies... hes in a bunch. Great reaction. 😊
Growing up and being a teenager in the 1980s was probably the best part of my life, nothing compares since. This movie was like an anthem for any kid back then
'81 kid here, a little later than you, but WOW it still stands out as an amazing representation of (at least white kids like me in) the 80s. Brilliant! We are lucky it happened :) - boy, we might have lived through peak plastic and peak America, homie
I was around 8 when this movie came out . But i remember it was extremely popular .... during that time . And now all these years later is a classic !
Very true.
Bueller?
Bueller?

Yup, that's right... he hijacked the parade.

The painting style you were thinking of is called Pointillism.
Jennifer Grey, who played Ferris' sister, went on to icon status by starring with Patrick Swayze in "Dirty Dancing". She was married for many years to actor Clark Gregg, who is known by Marvel fans as Agent Coulson.
Alan Ruck, who played Cameron, is one of those interesting actors who disappears for awhile then suddenly pops up again. He was in Young Guns II, Speed, and Twister. He has done a lot of TV episodic work. He's especially remembered by us Star Trek fans as Captain John Harriman, who commanded the USS Enterprise B in the film Star Trek: Generations, taking over after Kirk retires. He's had more recent success with a role in the series "Succession".
This film was directed by John Hughes, who has only directed a total of eight films, but every single one of them is or is nearly iconic in status, including "Sixteen Candles", "The Breakfast Club", and "Planes, Trains & Automobiles". He' also wrote all the films he directed and has written screenplays of other iconic films including "National Lampoon's Chrismas Vacation" and "Home Alone". The first Tom Holland MCU film, "Spider-man: Homecoming", was made as an homage to John Hughes' classics, with many of the little details of Peter Parker's high school life reflecting Hughes' style. If you haven't seen it yet, I heartily recommend you watch "The Breakfast Club" soon. It's also got humor in it, but gets much deeper into what the lives of teenagers living in the 80's was like, with each character representing a different type of student.
Also, I can't remember if you're up to date on Marvel films, specifically Deadpool. I don't remember you reacting to any. I bring it up because, hopefully without spoiling it too much, there is a Ferris Bueller reference in the first Deadpool that's pretty hard to miss.
You should watch "Better Off Dead" it's an entirely underrated 80's comedy.
I too highly recommend Better off Dead & One Crazy Summer. St. Elmo's Fire too.
And the sequel, Grosse Point Blank.
THIS IS PURE SNOW ! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE STREET VALUE OF THIS MOUNTAIN IS ??!!
Love that movie :)
"Who'd throw away a perfectly good white boy like that?"
"Gee Ricky, I'm sorry your mom blew up."
The reason why Ferris Bueller film is so touching, moving, inspiring to our feelings is because it epitomizes the purpose of life. What is the purpose of life? To ENJOY it! To have fun 😊
"War Games" and "Election". 2 Broderick great movies
Must add Biloxi Blues.
Election is fantastic
Not a comedy, but Glory is a beautiful historical drama starring Broderick, Morgan Freeman, and Denzel Washington. It's about the first Black regiment to fight in the Civil War.
Ladyhawke is an underrated fantasy action movie..... starring Matthew Broderick, Rutger Hayer and Michelle Pfieffer
"Max Dugan Returns" (1983) was his first film. Definitely worth a watch.
Ferris was a hero to all of us children of the 80's. Well done John Hughes. Well done.
Too bad he became the butt of the joke in the Cable Guy
The first Deadpool movie's end-credit scene is a direct homage to Ferris Bueller.
Deadpool is for people who enjoy anti-comedy. #fuckdeadpool

M: "Is that who I think that is ?" - Charlie: "Drugs ?" - M: "Ya ! Yes it is."
I see, it's hard not to mix up character and actor.
Miranda, my wife and I LOVE you and your sweet reactions of all these great movies. ❤❤ You're a treasure. 🥰
That line "I weep for the future.." is hilarious.
Oft quoted. More and more especially by me.
@@kbrewski1I’ve been saying that more and more lately. I have a bad feeling I’m getting old.
Sloan knew what was up when she saw the nurse and started getting her books since she already knew that her grandmother had passed.
I was born in 81 and I can confirm the 80's were pretty fantastic.
Same, 1980 for me, best decade ever, with the 90's a close second right up until about 98 or so. Grunge was a worthy successor to hair metal

This breakfast club, pretty in pink, 16 candles, uncle buck...all John Hughes, I believe
all written but not all directed
...Planes, Trains and Automobiles...
Chris Columbus directed home alone.
Weird Science, Dutch, Career Opportunities, The Great Outdoors, Mr. Mom, most of the Vacation movies, and more movies.
@@MitchClement-il6iq ah, right you are
The economics teacher is Ben Stein who was an actual econ teacher prior to this movie.
The skyscraper is the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower). They now have plexiglass enclosed balconies that you can walk onto and look straight down.
War Games is one of my favorite MB movies.
Election is also really great, although Broderick plays a pretty pathetic character. Oh, and I really enjoyed The Road to Wellville. Very underappreciated film in my book.
Project X is mine
You know the world has drastically changed in a sort of negative way when you see a cool person that just watches movies everyday, and stumbles onto one of the old 80’s movies that has characters in it interacting with the world as it was at that point in time and sees just how vastly different and kinda positive everything was, and begins to cry as she witnesses the good times as they were being recorded in the movie, as part of a scene in the movie itself.
It was indeed a good time, and I’m saying this as a person who lives in Chicago and has been for all 42 years of his life, and seen all the ups and the downs.
Just be well, be at peace, respect and Godspeed to all of you out there in the world now and whoever reads my comment.
Great reaction like always, love this movie its a classic. Many people don't get the subtle subtexts in this movie. Ferris lived a charmed life. Partly perhaps luck, partly just plain initiative and intelligence and clever, but mostly confidence in himself he never doubts himself or his choices, he's just go go go. Perhaps a touch of the sociopath. Lol my favorite scene is the wicked smile.he gives the camera at the end.
But then you have Cameron who has zero confidence, zero boldness, and struggling with mental illness because he was seriously depressed. Possibly on verge of suicidal. Ferris tried to save him in his teenage confident way, a day out. It was all for his bff.
And some fun-facts about it. All the characters who have cars, (except for Cameron's dad whos car license plate says NRVOUS) have license plates that are abbreviations of John Hughs movies. His Mom’s car has a license plate that reads “MMOM” which is a reference to 1983’s Mr. Mom which Hughes wrote. His Dad’s car has a license plate that reads “VCTN” which is a reference again to 1983’s Vacation. His sister’s car has a license plate that reads “TBC” which is a reference to 1985’s The Breakfast Club. Lastly, Principal Rooney’s car has a license plate that reads “4FBDO” which translates to “For Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”.T o produce the desired drugged-out effect for his role as the drug addict in the police station, Charlie Sheen stayed awake for more than 48 hours before the scene was shot
As you may have detected by the soundtrack, John Hughes was really into new wave music back then. All the posters in Ferris' and Cameron's rooms were his personal collection. Cameron only has U2 Boy, but Ferris has Bryan Ferry, Simple Minds, Killing Joke, Blancmange, The Damned, Charlie Sexton, Jah Wobble/Holger Czukay/The Edge, Flesh For Lulu, Cabaret Voltaire, The Rave Ups. There is actually a band Save Ferris named of course, after the charity theme in this film. You can see them make an appearance in the movie 10 Things I Hate About You.
Also not sure it's been mentioned, but a Fun Fact about this movie is that the actors who played Ferris' parents met during the making of that movie and ended up getting married in real life. My interpretation in the end when the sister rushed home to catch Ferris before he could get home so he would get in trouble. Then she overheard the principal telling Ferris that he would have to spend another year in high school. Another year with the two of them at the same school was the LAST thing she wanted, so she covered for him instead. If she wanted to cover for Ferris as a result of her chat with Charlie Sheen, she would have driven slowly to ensure he got home first after she saw him in the street. Keep up the good work.
Lol didnt see this post and just posted the samel thing.
Very cool, didn't notice the plates. Great extra info👍
I still think she covered for Ferris at the end for other reasons: 1) if anyone is going to get Ferris caught it would be her, not Rooney of all people, 2) she wanted to get back at Rooney for breaking into her house (the wallet she found on the kitchen floor let her know it was him who broke in, 3) the conversation with Charlie Sheen at the station did play a part.
Her racing him home actually saved Ferris. Had she taken her time and let him get home way earlier, Rooney would have caught him at the back door and no one would have been home to cover for him. You notice she gets out the car and ran to the kitchen because she knew that's where Ferris would be coming from.
Ferris staying another year at school wouldn't matter to her anymore because of the conversation she had with Charlie about her being able to do whatever she wants to do without fear or reservation and not be jealous or envious of what Ferris does. Her covering for him was her moment to do whatever she wants, be apart of Ferris shenanigans and it allows her and Ferris to have a brother and sister bonding moment where they BOTH can stick it to Rooney.
The most classic movie out there. So glad it never had a sequel or a remake.
Regarding the extension cords: As someone who moved into a fabulous older house with only 2-prong outlets... GFCI outlets give you the same (actually generally better) protection on 2-wire in-wall wiring as 3-wire does, and gives you 3-prong sockets. You can pick up a GFCI outlet at a home improvement store for around $10, and standard 3-prong outlets for $2-$3. You can then either install the GFCI one (with the "Test" and "Reset" buttons) upstream of the others and have them all protected, or just the one GFCI for your equipment. Takes about 5 minutes per outlet to install. I did this in my streaming space (once just my gaming space) and haven't had any issues in 13 years.
As a man of 53, this is still one of my favorites. It came out when I was 15....Ferris reminded me of my then best friend to a tee.
@35:55 Miranda, it's called Pointilism. Art made from tiny dots (points) of colour. those amazing french impressionists came up with some really cool techniques.
Ferris was a senior in this. I was also a senior in high school. It really hit home. I watched it with my 19 year old daughter a few weeks ago, and she loved it.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time and never tire of watching it. I graduated high school in 1983. The father saying "I think we should shoo her" is his way of telling the mother to relax about it, that the daughter will be fine
Yep, it's a classic cause you can watch it at any time like you said. A really good message too.
Your delivery of 'Miran-DUH!' made me think of Can't Hardly Wait 🤣🤣🤣
This is the first time I watch one of your reactions and what a blast it was. You are the first person I ever saw that cried during this movie, but the reasons you gave for doing so were heartwarming. I enjoyed how you went back a few times to hear a line delivered again. You have now joined the Ferris Bueller's fan club :) SAVE FERRIS!
I also get teary-eyed from the museum and parade scenes. It’s pure joy caught on film.
"Why a diaper?"
Because they made cloth diapers, and they were extra-soft b/c of it being for a baby. Not long after this chamois cloth became the thing (80s infomercials).
Art made with dots is called "Pointillism".
Some of my other favorite movies with him are:
Biloxi Blues (1988), Project X (1987), Ladyhawke (1985), War Games (1983)
I'm so glad you decided to forego the green screen on this occasion so that we get to see the newly completed room in the background. It looks fantastic! 👌😍
This really is a timeless movie. If only more people would look within themselves and aspire to be like or somewhat like Ferris Bueller.
Thanks for yet another awesome watch along, Miranda! 😊
"Everyone needs to watch this movie"
Everyone has. You were the only one who hadn't.
Matthew Broderick always had a sort of awareness in his performances on film and on the stage. He was a natural when it called for breaking the fourth wall. He was a favorite of Neil Simon's stage plays. Another '80s classic is a very young Tom Cruise in "Risky Business". It's comedy but has a different tone than "Bueller".
Too bad he was never a natural at driving on Irish roads, huh?
@@brandonizaguirre2963All I can say is I've driven in Ireland. Holy S, no wonder they need alcohol!
Those roads were ridiculously narrow between towns and 2 cars could not pass without one getting off the side or in someone's entrance to their personal driveway.
Nerve-racking as h@ll.
As a teen in the 80s, we had some of the greatest movies. Having so much fun watching someone discover these classics from my youth looking forward to more. Thanks for all the fun and laughs 😂😂
If you are doing all of Matthew Broderick's movies don't forget "Ladyhawke"
100% agree
Also one that nobody mentions is "Out On A Limb" with John C Reily. It is Hilarious
I had a professor like that once-very monotone. He was a really nice guy, but he taught fluid mechanics with that same voice, and I struggled to stay awake. I’d finish my machining job around 7 or 8 pm, head to university, and be there until midnight. During his class, I would end up sleeping through the first hour before waking up and finally starting to pay attention. I felt terrible about it, but he was super chill. He probably knew something I didn’t-that I was on the verge of burning out. He even gave me notes for the first hour. He was truly a great professor and a gentleman-just born with the wrong voice for public speaking! :D
A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by George's Seurat is the painting. The style is pointillism.
Just came across your channel, probably gonna binge it out since your playlist is basically filled with most of my all time favorite movies.
“What box did I leave the tissues in?”
The tissue box, of course.
Iconic, this movie is just iconic.
Fun trivia. Twist and shout made it back onto the top 40 after this came out. topped at 23 on the music charts.
Sloan knew from the moment the Nurse showed up at the door to her class. She sits up, looks at the girl next to her, puts on her jacket.
Yes 😂 running and stopping at every window down the hallway was definitely a thing we all did.
I was a teenager in the 80's, it was a great time!!
Btw.. the monotone economics teacher is Ben Stein. World famous financial advisor and wealth management guru. He was well known for the Clear Eyes commercials... "wow". But his iconic "bueller.. bueller.." is what made him a legend.
RIP Ben Stein
Now you should react to "Better Off Dead". A great movie starring John Cusack and Curtis Armstrong.
Then, for a darker Cusack turn, watch The Grifters. Peace, all 💕
Criminally underrated movie
No one ever mentions The Sure Thing when discussing Cusack. It's Rob Reiner's second directorial effort after Spinal Tap. Very funny.
TWO DOLLARS!!!!
(35:52) That painting technique is called "pointillism".
You wanted to be born in the late ‘60s. I was 20 in 1987. I had the best childhood and teenage years American pop culture has ever offered to this date. Every Friday night there was a block buster at the movies with no sequels or remakes! I feel sorry for people that didn’t experience the’80s.
Why would you think your childhood and teenage years were any better than someone born in 1959 or 1960? The greatest period of music was clearly 1964 to 1980. The greatest decade of movies was the late 60s through the late 70s/early 80s.
@bob5074 what a coincidence, I was born that year! 😳😊
And even though I grew up in the 90s, I completely agree with you that the 80s were better. The music, the movies… way better than the 90s
Really great reaction! I especially appreciated the way the museum scene affected you. I think many people just gloss over that part as a comedic interlude of a field trip, but it's actually quite beautiful and profound. The music paired with the editing of Cameron's dead stare ever closer into the child in the painting always gets me!
If you like Matthew Broderick you should watch "Wargames" and "Ladyhawk"
Definately Wargames
And Glory
Ladyhawk I love that film you should definitely watch that one a beautiful love story
I have liked you since I found you. NOW I love you!
Ferris Bueller's Day off is one of my probably top 5 films. I have lost track of the times I've watched it.
You ABSOLUTELY got it!
The feel, the humorous nature, the heartfelt emotions.
The fact you were moved to tears makes me love you more.
You have now been forever changed and will love Ferris always.
Thank you Miranda you made my evening.
I've been a subscriber for a long time and I now need to watch another of your charming reactions.
You are a wonderfully charming young woman. ❤️😊🤙
When I saw it as a teenager (34 years ago), I fell in love with this unique movie. One, sort-of comparable, movie for me is 1988 "Big".
Love this movie, definitely one of my top 5! Glad you enjoyed it!
I like to think of Cameron as the real main character who’s just so in his own head he gets relegated to being Ferris’ sidekick, and Ferris has this fun, almost folk hero quality to him. Some people say the whole movie is happening in Cameron’s imagination, which I think is lame, but if he IS the protag I think Cameron definitely looks up to and idealizes Ferris a lot.
Also I’m pretty sure the scene at the end was one of the earliest post-credit scenes!
Matthew Broderick is in a great fantasy movie called ‘lady hawke’, which has the great Rutger Hauer in it as well as Michelle Pfeiffir. Oh yea, and the love story between the two main characters is also very good.
If you can get past the dated soundtrack (just grit your teeth during the opening credits until you've acclimated yourself to it), the movie itself is a masterpiece. Matthew Broderick is only a supporting character, but in my opinion he steals the show.
You're right. This movie will never get old. I've seen it a million times. I was even around when it first came out and saw it in the theaters. Definite cult classic for sure.
I just love it when this girl puts out a movie reaction. I just love her.
I have watched this movie probably more than any other, and it has yet to get old. I enjoy it every watch as much as the first time.
For more Matthew Broderick check out "Wargames," "Glory," and "Addicted to Love."
... and Ladyhawke.
The panting is “Sunday afternoon at la grande jatte” by George Seraut…the formal technique is called “pointillism”, which he invented…every colored dot had next to it a dot that was that dot’s complimentary color, every blue dot had an orange dot next to it, for every green dot there’s a corresponding red dot, every yellow dot, a purple, etc, etc…it gives pointillist works a “vibratory/vibrating” effect….anyway, cool school project & a really GREAT reaction….yeah, this film is so classic….i learned much later that the more “cartoony” aspects of it, like Ferris’s father not seeing them steal the taxi, his mom falling for the weighted mannequin & snore track on the stereo, & everything else…it’s as if the movie is being told in the following days & weeks, from the point of view of the exaggerated tall tales that Ferris’s classmates would tell the story as it passed into legend, so, everything that happened here, no matter how dicey, or unbelievable, would be told as epic, because, again, Ferris is just a legend, haha….anyway, a seriously great reaction, liked & subbed:),
If you like Matthew Broderick, you should absolutely watch WarGames! Another 80’s teen classic
The painting Cameron was staring at intently was Seurat's Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. The method he used to paint is called POINTILLISM, not perspective. It would take hours and hours if not days and days to try to reproduce that via POINTILLISM, even on a small scale. That's a massive painting.
This was my dads favourite movie when he was growing up, he showed it to me when I was roughtly the same age and it became on of mine and I still love it.
"The principle is kinda creepy..."
Yep!
... actor Jeffrey Jones became a convicted sex offender, for real.
Great reaction video, Miranda! I'm glad you loved Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It's such an amazing classic.
36:15 the art technique of using only dots is called pointillism
How do you nail every single movie making technique. You have a gift. You should be watching the sopranos.
I was born in 1972. I remember the whole 80's, and lived all the singular experience of falling in love for a girl that time, with all that magic and music in the air. Now I have only sweet memories, the girl never became my wife, for she died in 1990. Every time I listen to musicians like Air Supply, Heart, Cocteau Twins, Jim Diamond, John Waite, Eurythmics, The Pretenders, U2, New Order, The Cure and others, it feels like I open a time portal and I am able even to smell her fragrance, her soft lips, her laugh...
My advice to you and other young people who would love to have been experienced the 80's is this: make this decade your magic time and treat your friends and lovers as best as possible, because you don't know how much they will live. If they die, you will remember only the sweetness and feel proud of your self, for all goodness, loyalty, gentleness, romanticism and respect that you showed that deceased lover, relative or friend of yours. Life is short, so make it a wonderful tale that you will love to pleasantly read hundreds of times, during the rest of your lives.
"Leave my cheese out in the wind" Is the "not getting caught with my pants down" scenario.
I graduated from High School In 1989 and I got to live and enjoy the full 80's experience. You definitely missed out on the best decade in modern history.
