I agree with you how Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is a great example of a character driven movie. Your description and summary of the movie is very accurate, you mentioned pretty much ever thing he did on his day off. Your critique of the actors also was very good. I agree that Matthew Broderick plays Ferris very well, and I don’t see how anyone else could do it better either. I agree that Alan Ruck does a good job as Cameron too. You also had good trait examples for Cameron, like being a sad, kind of depressed guy. You did a good job describing Sloan too, in how she just kind of hangs around with Ferris. She doesn’t really care what he does; she will just go with it. It’s nice that you included that Ferris would look at the camera as if he was talking to the audience watching. Your theme “the pursuit of happiness” was a good choice to. Ferris just wants to have fun while he’s with his friends; he really doesn’t care about school because it doesn’t make him happy. Your right in how Ferris kind of takes the day off for Cameron, to cheer him up and make him do things he wouldn’t normally do. I also agree that it is worth the time and money to watch this movie, especially if you’re a high school kid.
