Cameron
The friendship between Ferris and Cameron is one of the highlights of the movie. They are clearly very close friends even though they are so very different. Unlike Ferris and his adventurous spirit, Cameron is morose and anxious. Yet having a friend like Ferris pushes him outside that comfort zone, which can be good for him. Ferris is so persistent that Cameron knows it would be pointless to try and turn down his offer for an epic day off. It's part of why Cameron was likely okay after the fi...
Ferris
One of the key elements in Ferris's grand adventure is taking Cameron's father's sports car out on the town. As they open the garage and look at the car, Cameron remarks how much his father loves it, while Ferris is just happy the garage is open. Ferris's mischievous behavior cannot be condoned, but most young people have had those situations before. Though a situation might be wrong and just asking for trouble, if the opportunity is there, it can be hard to ignore. Youth is a time for mischi...
Grace
As fun as Ferris and his friends are to follow, the adult characters in the movie can be very funny as well. Grace, the receptionist at the school, is one of the standout characters with some hilarious moments of her own. She even recognizes the popularity the students have for Ferris Bueller, explaining how much they love him. Her remark that he is seen as a "righteous dude," however, sounds like the typical older person trying desperately to show they connect to the younger generation. Edie...
Ed Rooney
Principal Rooney makes for a great antagonist for Ferris in the movie. He abandons his whole day to track down this troublesome student and catch him in the act of skipping school. While these escapades mostly backfire on Rooney, he does go in with a lot of confidence. When confronting someone he thinks is Ferris, he makes this assertive tough-guy line only to realize it is a girl with a similar haircut as Ferris. Once again, the older audiences get, the more they can see themselves in Rooney...
Ferris
Cameron is a great character as he is the total opposite of his best friend, Ferris, and he feels like the more typical John Hughes character. He is also home from school on the fateful day of the story, but instead of playing out a fun-filled day, he is in bed feeling sorry for himself. Cameron feels so sick that he believes he might die. But of course, it’s all in his head, as this Ferris Bueller quote points out: "You’re not dying. You just can’t think of anything good to do." It’s easy to...
Ferris
Another reason the audience so easily comes to love Ferris is that he is incredibly confident. Throughout his day off, as he darts across Chicago, he’s sure that he’s not going to get caught. That confidence remains strong even when he comes up against a rude maître d' at a fancy restaurant that isn't buying Ferris's story. His friends worry that he’s gone too far, but Ferris delivers two brilliant nuggets of wisdom: “A, You can never go too far. B, If I’m gonna get busted, it is not gonna be...
Cameron
Even with the "seize the day" message of the movie through the eyes of Ferris Bueller, Cameron also represents a more realistic look at teens. He does not have big plans or ideas for his future, which he freely admits. When talking about what they will do in the future, Sloane asks Cameron about what he is interested in. He very honestly answers, "Nothing." As funny as the line is, it is a feeling a lot of people can relate to. This also shows why Ferris looks for nothing at all in his life a...
Ferris
As important as school is for young people, every student has had more than a few days when they wake up on a beautiful and promising day only to realize they are going to be stuck inside a classroom the whole time. Whereas most of those students simply lament their situation and get ready for school, Ferris actually decides that it is unfair to him and makes plans of his own. Once again, this is a situation where Ferris Bueller is not only convincing himself he is in the right, but he is als...
Ferris
One of the standout aspects of the movie is how Ferris often breaks the fourth wall and recognizes that people are watching all of this. But even though this doesn't allow him to tell the future, he knows enough to recognize when his best friend is about to lose his mind. After realizing his father's prized car was taken for a joyride, there is that sinking feeling that many teens face when they realize the trouble they've gotten themselves into. Ferris recognizes that as well and turns to th...
Ferris
Along with taking the audience on his wild adventure, Ferris Bueller also imparts his pearls of wisdom through his fourth wall breaking. Though he is a teenager, Ferris has a laid-back intelligence about himthat is easy to agree with. When discussing fascism at one point, Ferris declares his distaste for "isms" of all kinds. At first, it just sounds silly, but then it starts to seem like he might have a point there. Ferris is not as smart as he thinks he is, but in this situation, he sometime...
