| Video Discription | Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a simple, brilliantly executed film - one of my favourites of all time. In this video I go over the central message I took from it, and link it with a much deeper book on life - The Top Five Regrets of the Dying by Bronnie Ware. INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/jack.lawro/ ---- Ferris Bueller’s day off is one of my favourite films of all time - it’s about how to live fully, without apology or fear, and it communicates a message about life most people realise far too late in life, often on their deathbed. But, more on that later. If you’re watching this video but haven’t seen the movie, don’t worry, it’s not really a film that you can spoil - the plot is pretty straightforward; The movie is about a high school student named Ferris Bueller, who skips school with his best friend and girlfriend, and the adventure they have on that day. THE END This film embodies the old cliché of the journey being more important than the destination. Ferris Bueller’s day off is a modern day fairy-tale, and it carries with it a much deeper lesson on life. It’s that lesson which had a profound effect on me, and it’s a lesson which I feel, has only become more relevant, and more important, since the film was made. It was released in theatres back in 1986, and it’s aged like fine wine, a true classic. It’s technically a comedy, but it’s not so much laugh-out-loud funny like modern day comedies. It’s just pure fun. Perhaps due to things like Netflix and attention metrics and so on, modern comedies have to hold increasingly shorter attention spans, and do this by having a joke every 5 seconds like some supercut fuckin YouTube hrnng. Ferris Bueller has a different promise - this is a film which early on will slap a grin on your face, and keep it there for the whole 103 minutes. It feels like we’re no longer in an era where these sorts of feel-good movies can be made. Perhaps it’s because we’re in a more cynical time - audiences aren’t as receptive to it. Which might be why this film has aged so well. It’s bursting with optimism. It’s my go-to feel-good film, and it’s been a source of comfort as the years have gone by. It’s also, as a story, quite unusual. You see, in the majority stories, be it novels, films, TV, there’s generally a central character. And part of what makes that story compelling, usually, is watching this main character change over the course of the story. It’s as much about where they go and what they do as it is how much it affects them. [footage from other films] This, my friends, is a character arc. The story, in a sense, documents the main character finding the answer to a question. A triumph is marked by them finding the right answer, and a tragedy is when they find the wrong one. They begin the story with one world view, and end it with that view changed. Yeah Ferris Bueller’s day off doesn’t fucking have that At the start of the film, Ferris Bueller has the following philosophy: [life moves] And at the end his philosophy is unchanged: So what gives? This film has a simple plot and the main character doesn’t change? Why is this film so good? WELL IMMA TELL YOU The opening scene of the film has us watching Ferris pretend to be ill, convincing his parents that he is in no condition to go to school. His parents are easily deceived, although his sister knows he’s faking. Ferris doesn’t try to hide the fact that he knows she knows. The ruse is successful, the parents and sister leave, leaving Ferris alone. And then Ferris turns, looks at the camera, and says; TRANSCRIPT CONTINUED HERE: https://www.jacklawrence.net/blog/2021/1/14/ferris-buellers-day-off-how-to-live-without-regrets |
