Ferris Bueller's Day Off: Difference between revisions

Line 140:

* [[Totally Radical]]: Grace, Principal Ed's secretary, attempting to explain popular perception of Ferris, says "The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. [[Throw It In|They think he's a righteous dude.]]"

* [[The Unfavourite]]: Jeannie.

* [[Values Dissonance]]: When the film was made, it was simply expected that teenagers were more likely to be rebels and troublemakers as part of finding themselves. Ferris' free-wheeling highly individualistic nature was something to be enjoyed and admired. For Millennials, most of whom are liberal and have grown up with Barack Obama's example of an authority figure, they're more likely to side with the petty, power-mad authoritarian Rooney and denounce the freedom-seeking Ferris as a dangerous element to be crushed.

* [[Villain Protagonist]]: The alternative character interpretation (and most likely canon, according to [[Word of God]]) puts Ferris as a selfish, spoiled, manipulative ([[Affably Evil|if extremely likable]]) jerk. Jeannie certainly sees him as this in-universe. {{spoiler|That is, until the end.}}

* [[Watch the Paint Job]]: The 1961 Ferrari 250GT California.
