I think that one of the most significant moments in the film is one that is transitory in nature and not one that anyone sees as important. Ferris-living by the carpe diem philosophy and being fulfilled and liked by everyone as a result. Cameron-always doubting himself even though he is talented (which we see when he successfully pretends to be the Sausage King of Chicago). He can lock himself up in his house for two weeks and come out with a culturally-defining story that will continue to touch generations to come.įerris Bueller is a significant movie because it illustrates the journey of life in one day, which I think is why he does more in one day than is physically possible.
John Hughes is one of the most naturally talented writers in the business.
