John Hughes was a genius, he had the understanding of the human soul.

For some strange reason the song brings tears to my eyes every time...Silly nostalgia on my part? I love it just the same ❤️

Yeah so true what a classic

Não me canso de ver essa cena. Ainda tenho o DVD do filme!

That comment hit me so hard.. Damn, cause that's exactly what I was telling myself too after watching the movie.. Wow..

Growing up in the 2000s I really felt like a ferris at elementary school. But now in middle school in a new school I fell like Cameron

True...

Ferris bueller is fake its all in Cameron's head a fake persona that he came up with that's how he wants to spend his day off that's who he wants to be but it takes him an entire day to realize that he just needs to be himself to be happy the drowning scene represents death and rebirth death of ferris and the birth of a new Cameron that's also the time ferris goes home and the movie ends

+Montain Dude i guess that EVERYBODY had the same thought, at least the ones who think a bit. But we all "carry" a Ferris inside. So the message of the movie is more or less "Cameron you can be Ferris if you want" BUT you can't be Ferris ALL THE TIME. After all why is the Ferris-character still so popular after 3 decades ? Because he's a movie persona, in real life nobody can do all this shit Ferris does and keeping a clean sheet. So no matter how sad it sounds in this life unfortunately we're kind of forced to live like Camerons (afraid of several shitty things), but the point is keep the flame alive and "go Ferris" once in a while.

Aki Aro I think you would like a lot more songs from the smiths then. Try them out.

@@samuelkinter7332 This version of the song is by Dream Academy! I highly recommend listening to that one as well!! :)

A.R. Wolfwood yes I know, but some smiths songs are poetic

@@samuelkinter7332 m

Really touching. " i loved...i just loved your definition. you really answer what i feell in that scene.... Very nice...I hope you are ok...And i love the Smith. I think this film was one of my first steep on my life ...that scene tolked with me, when he stared at the picture, and i think he could see himself and all those word you say... for me it was like i still havent found what i am looking form...well, i still have this feeling yet. thanks for your word i loved Salvai rabit

Damn it, a 2 year old comment made me cry!

314rft yep

I've always thought that he saw his dads ferrari in the lips of the child :'D

This is an astonishing description! I felt the exact same way.

@@hyperhollyster7164 nop

I hope so!

One would hope that Monet and Picasso wouldn't be replaced.

Well you know that museums like to move things around and redecorate and all that stuff.

Yeah I went there and the stained glass is truly amazing, it left me completely speechless

Did u do the poses?

Fun fact there was a school field trip that day in the holding hands with the actors line just happened naturally

@@daughters4life55 that’s so cool!

yes man I agree...its beautiful but sad!

that movie is so ducking gay

kain holmes kain sucks on foreskin

that movie sucks just like your sister

o yes ...you and Aki Aro discrebed very well...i aslso loved what you say, yes

+BloodylocksBathory what bit of it is funny?

Feo Cameron's stare at Le Grande Jatte. It's sad because it shows how empty his life currently is, but it's also really funny. I think that's a lot of what Cameron's scenes are - tragi-comedic.

I think it shows that if you get too close to something, or let others get too close to you, it no longer exists as you once knew it. He's justifying all of his fears, worries and introversion. That and the fact that it's a child with a parent, knowing that his childhood was probably pretty fucked up. The whole thing is terribly sad.

N:OW that's deep

What about the Cubs, Al Capone and Al Bundy?

@@Leon_der_Luftige You left the Bulls for basketball and Bears for football!!

This movie has always made me want to come visit Chicago. I think this movie sparked my fascination for vintage cars and skyscrapers lol

I think all the thugs killing each other is better.

Chicago needs no advertisement!

Those were the days.....

+weedandwine The more the years go by, the more i miss the 80's. I believe that it was the peak, just look at the face expression the people had, just remember how girls looked, were dressed, smelled and laughed then. Now everything is utter trash. Do you know the film "Idiocracy" ? That's exactly how it looks now.

How did women get into this?

Shadow11614 me too

It's a cover of the Smith's song Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want

The Dream Academy is doing the cover.

me too

That's true. And I think John Hughes appreciated it a lot when people, like you and me, appreciated his films. I think that's what he was trying to do: with the Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off in particular, he was trying to make and help people to understand and appreciate what people, whether they be teenagers, Basket Cases, Criminals, Brains, Dicks, janitors, rich kids, poor kids or teachers are, what they go through, and what they can be, and are, underneath, and hopefully value it. I think we do recieve the smallest fraction of appreciation and then a lot more from the man who made these films. And he was a rare talent: he was himself, in his movies. There was only one of him, just like there's only one Ferris Bueller or John Bender, or one of me, or one of you. :)

He lives on in so many amazing film makers. Think how much this scene inspired Wes Anderson

There’s a line in the sopranos about being an adult and trying to live for the moment and every day being a gift but ‘regular life has a way of picking away at it….your house, your car, the shit you own. It drags you down’ So true

thats right i loved

actually it like or seems the atmosphier of this scene like " the dead societed poets" when the students got up on te desk....i kind of....bcs its about life...life te life

Man I'm 19 now and I watched it for the first time. I wish my experience was like yours, watching this movie when it was new at 17. Instead in this generation I got project X. Where you need girls drugs and alcohol to have fun

yes...o asd Aki Aro said up here it about each one of us about our life

This is also true..

I know, right!? And the meaning behind Cameron's pondering is so unbelievably sad 😥

I agree. As a kid I always looked at it as a filler scene away from the comedy. But it's one of the highlights of the film especially watching an an adult.

Don Draper you know what they say “black don’t crack”

I thought Alan Ruck was white.

314rft sarcasm, bro, sarcasm

WOW...THAT'S INSANE

It is - only it's a cover by The Dream Academy.

The lyrics to "Please Please" pretty much sum up Cameron's life and outlook. I wonder if that was the intention to those who know the tune?

The Everchosen exactly!!!!!

John Daly thats because it is that song

Lol, i realized that a couple minutes later.

i dont think so...i think Aki Aro comments vey well up here

***** lol , yep you're probably right , museums with just paintings would bore me to tears , it's just the parts in the movie I guess would be interesting =/

If you appreciate art or certain pieces it's totally worth it.

> "where does time take you to? Nowhere" your words are moving

_unknown_; It probably was just to fit in more adverts like usual.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Bugs me. Can only imagine that yes, its to squeeze in just one more commercial.

Too bad, that's my favorite scene

Maybe they don't want everyone to burst into tears because of the meaning behind his pondering...

All networks cut scenes from films to fit in adverts, to the point where sometimes the scene itself or the narrative no longer makes any sense. Absolutely infuriating. To think that many hours were spent by award-winning directors and editors in the cutting room to craft these films, only for them to be crudely butchered by networks to cram in another crappy ad for something nobody wants.

Why

Sad

Awful singing and beautiful melody. Shame I can't find the instrumental version. Any suggestions. I know there was never a FB soundtrack

Chris Dover use a youtube down loader to rip this in an mp3

Chris Dover You might want to try looking on eBay. The instrumental version was included on a 12" release.

+Hayley the Elf - But you know, now that you mention it, that song does have a very similar sound/feel to this one! No need to feel like a fool. I didn't even know the Smiths the first time I watched Ferris Bueller....

+Hayley the Elf Also sounds like the George Harrison song "Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp"

Tbm vim aki pelo link do zangado,kkk

Andrew Cryan dream academy

@@JonnyBoyOfficial no... it's the Smiths

Dream Academy did the cover, It's originally from the Smiths

Music by The Dream Academy, covering a Smiths song

Called it!

This is actually the dream academy version/cover and on it the vocal is a terribly dreary (soz I'm English ) but they never released the instrumental. Am I wrong? (Plz)

That part could be interpreted as Mr. Rooney being the authoritarian and the three teens being defiant (mirroring the same pose).

Cameron is looking at the painting and realizing that the little girl is crying in it and the mother is not comforting her which is parallel to the fact that his own parents ignore him.

It could also be interpreted that the more you look at Cameron, the more you realize he's not all together. Just like the little girl in the painting.

+dancegurl5501 I think it's just suppose to show the powerful effect art has on people- im not sure there is any overall meaning to this scene in relation to the movie - I think It's just meant to make you think - the way art does. thats just my opinion

+hannessf19 Nope this scene is very significant to Cameron's character as described in the commentary by the director of the movie John Hughes. The more he looks at the child, the less you see. He fears that is what people see when they get to know him. They realize nothing is there. When he is staring at the picture he is thinking "that's me."

The way I see it is that you need to stop and look around. Try to remember who you are and why life truly is beautiful instead of getting caught up in an artificial struggle that you can't see outside of. Cameron looking at the painting is another, simultaneously message that others here have elucidated, but the overarching scene is about stopping to smell the roses. Most of the movie does this in a humorous way, with Bueller being this casual smartass, but here the movie gets serious in it's message of telling you to not be so serious.
