I just watched that movie again last week for the 100th time or so. It may be my favorite movie ever. The scene where they're in the Art Institute may also be my favorite movie scene ever.
Plus, I've got a 35-year crush on the blonde dancer in the dirndl in the Twist and Shout scene. She had such joie de vivre. [Reply]

Agreed. When I went there with the wife and son we mimicked the picture of them with their arms crossed by the statue and my son looking at the kid in the picnic painting. [Reply]

The moments of play with the children in the museum, the lining up, holding hands and following the protocols of safety in numbers when out in the big people’s world, coupled with the self-important posing, culminating in the series of intensely introspective cuts back and forth, tighter and tighter of Cameron, the girl in the painting, Cameron’s face, her face, his eye, her eye, closer and closer until a dab of paint fills the screen crossing bridges of art over the barriers of time just as Ferris, Sloane and Cameron are crossing a milestone in their own lives is a slice of genius that lifts the entire film to greater meaning. Without that moment of self discovery, Cameron’s actions later in the film might be nothing more than the tantrum of a spoiled child, and his speculation on their lives to come would hold no weight at all.
When Sloane declares that she’s going to marry Ferris, I feel awful for her immaturity. I have no doubt, though, that Cameron is going to be just fine. He has discovered a self that is independent of the outsized Ferris Beuller. [Reply]
