Ferris Bueller's Day off: The opening Scene - A cricital response

 

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) Directed by John Hughes


Ferris Bueller's Day off is an American comedy film produced by Paramount Pictures and directed by John Hughes. The script for this movie was made in a week. Filming began in 1985 in September and ended in November. It is worth mentioning that this film depicts many of Chicago's landmarks and is said to be Hughes' love letter to that city. Hughes says: "I really wanted to capture as much of Chicago as I could. Not just in the architecture and landscape, but the spirit." 

Ferris Bueller's Day Off is structured as a guide on how to effectively play truant, or avoid getting caught. There is an interesting element in this film - Ferris turns to the camera explaining how to make school free. The viewer has the impression that the protagonist's questions are directed to him. This makes it easier to identify with Ferris and his exploits. 

This film received a lot of positive reviews. Roger Ebert called it: "one of the most innocent movies in a long time," and "a sweet, warm-hearted comedy." and gave it three out of four stars by the way.  Not only Roger Ebert was delighted with this work. George Will, known as a conservative columnist, considers John Hughes's film "the moviest movie," a film "most true to the general spirit of the movies, the spirit of effortless escapism." 

Personally, I did not get a chance to watch this movie. I only saw a snippet of it which I placed at the top of this post. However, the research that I did about it gave me a very big view. I can say with certainty that this is a comedy with a message. What I can count as a great advantage are the camera shots in which you have the impression that the main character is talking directly to us. I really like this idea because it is non-covenant. I also liked the plot of the film very much. I myself recently went to high school, so I am familiar with simulating in front of my parents that I am sick not to go to school. I will definitely watch this whole movie in my spare time because it made a very positive impression on me.

In conclusion, I would like to write what I learned from all this work. First of all, I have improved my research skills. This is very important considering that she plans to become a journalist or writer in the future. As you know, good research makes our work better and looks professional. Also, I could find a lot of information that not only gave me an idea of ​​what a movie it was but also convinced me to see it in the future. I rate the whole experience positively because I'm sure it influenced the development of my skills.
