Analysis Of ' Ferris Bueller 's Day Off '

The notion of Sociological beliefs and values has been spread by various different historians, scientists, companies, etc. One notable example of this is modern cinema. Many films in history have contained numerous examples of sociological themes and beliefs to play off as central themes of its core story and characters within. In terms of a particular movie such as the John Hughes’ film titled “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”, it has come to stand as such an essential and social icon of the 1980’s for various reasons; mainly because of its various sociological overtones of Marxism, social deviance, and norms and values.

Since Ferris is a senior in high school, which suggests that he is appropriately eighteen years old. Adolescents from age eighteen to twenty-five years old can be considered as emerging adulthood (Berger, 2015), so Ferris is an emerging adult. His psychological development can be explained by Erikson. Erikson developed eight developmental stages, while 18 years old Ferris will fall under the “Identify vs. Role confusion” stage. In this stage, adolescents want to find out their identity by answering the question “who am I?” Most of the adolescents will find their identification in sexual, political, religious, and vocational aspects; however, there are also adolescents will confuse about their identities. (Berger, 2015). Since Ferris is a well-loved student and he is really confident about every problem he faces. For example, he fakes himself as the Sausage King of Chicago, he does not feel frightened by the manager; instead, he insists the original thought, which allows him to enter the fancy restaurant. Certainly, Ferris knows who he is, and he also has a clear view of the future goal. Even though he skipped classes for nine times, he knew that he is going to college and over the summer he is going to find a job. There is no clear identification of what his occupations in the movie; however, Ferris has a

The 1986 film, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, follows teenage rebel Ferris Bueller and his group of friends as they ditch high school and venture off to spend the day in downtown Chicago. Main character, Ferris Bueller, is no stranger to missing a day of school. He has mastered the ways of faking sick and uses this to his advantage. Now on his ninth absence, sister Jeanie and principle Rooney are fed up and have the desire to catch him in his lies and expose him to his oblivious parents. Despite their efforts, Bueller is one step ahead and consistently finds ways to avoid any obstacle thrown at him. Through his persuasive personality, confidence, and brave behavior Ferris Bueller’s day off is one to remember. This crazy and adventurous film not only brings joy and laughter to viewers but illustrates two specific theories of communication: Shannon-Weaver’s Model of Communication and Interpersonal Deception.

The movie 28 Days stages an out of control alcoholic and drug addict Gwen Cummings. Sandra Bullock is the main character in this movie. Gwen is an alcoholic writer who lives with her boyfriend up north Manhattan. It starts one night when Gwen and her boyfriend is partying and causes her to oversleep and be late to her sister's wedding.

The Breakfast Club movie is about five high school students from Shemer High School with different backgrounds. It’s the story of “a brain (Brian), an athlete (Andrew), a basket case (Allison), a princess (Claire) and a criminal (Bender).” The purpose of the movie is to captive the feelings and perspectives on what other people have experienced and learned from each other. The analysis about The Breakfast Club is about the common insecurities and challenges of the teenager during high school. The Breakfast club is a movie to convey emotions, fears, and companionship that everyone can relate to. However, with new knowledge comes new perspective and emotions. This movie opens up a world of abstract thoughts because none of the five students know each other and it helps to create an interpersonal communication, they revealed to each other how their lives actually are. This movie is about Social Judgment Theory, Interpersonal conflict, self-disclosure, Social Comparison Theory and an unresolved life conflicts of a teenager life by finding their identities.

The three friends (Ferris, Sloane and Cameron) all skip school and have an amazing time while their friends and classmates are stuck in school, exploring the great city of Chicago. As they carry on with their plan, they eventually run into some issues that were handled later by the end of the movie. Ferris being a very gutsy kid, pushed everything he did to the limit and beyond. Surprisingly, he got away with everything, at some point in the movie it felt like even God did not want him

Ferris, Sloane, and Cameron spend one amazing day ditching school, exploring the great city of Chicago and take time to visit many landmarks and take part in many exciting activities. The day depicted in the movie would be a great and exciting day for anyone, but is it possible for them to have done all of the things they did in one day? I believe it is reasonable to believe that Ferris and company may have been able to do all the things they did in the movie in one day.

Oh gosh!!! There were so many things wrong with this movie, I am not even sure where to begin. So, "Vacation" is the seventh in the "National Lampoon's Vacation" series, and this one should have most definitely remained in the ether. This newest offering is hallmarked by the deirectorial debut of John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstien, both of which have been tapped to write the newest Spider-Man reboot, which if this movie was any indication of what is to come, does in no way bode well for poor ol' Spidey.

Ferris constantly lies to play with people and get his own way which demonstrates his other superiority. He talks to classmates on school pay phone telling them he might need kidney transplant because he might be dying. He tells one of the girls that, “I don’t know. I hope not. I think I might need a kidney transplant.” making them pity him “Shit. I hope he doesn't die. I can't handle summer school.”

In this paper, I will summarize the article and offer comments about these selected aspects, identify some relevant and irrelevant issues. I will also suggest areas where addition research findings would help in understanding relativism and common moral values in a simplistic and effective

Ferris’ first stop is the school where he “breaks” his girlfriend out by creating a bogus story of her dead grandmother. He calls the antagonist of the movie, Principal Ed Rooney, and explains his girlfriend’s dire situation. Rooney, however, can tell that he is being played and vows vengeance on Ferris. Not surprising. At this point, it is clear to see how teenagers and their adult counterparts are stereotyped as being young and immature compared to cynical and evil, consecutively. The social and power barriers implemented by the school system create a division in the relationships that the students are able to

The story begins with Ferris lying in bed trying to convince his parents that he is too sick to go to school. He was able to successfully convince them while getting an evil stare from his sister, Jeanie. Since he does not have a car Ferris must try and convince his friend, Cameron, to come get him and enjoy the day off together. The school dean, Ed Rooney, knows Ferris is not sick so calls Ferris’s mother who confirms that he is sick. He tells her that Ferris has nine absences, but on the computer screen the absences dwindles from nine to two, Ferris changed this from his computer at home. Ferris and Cameron devise a plan to get Ferris’s girlfriend out of school. They need Cameron’s dad’s Ferrari to get her out of school and it works flawlessly. The three of them go out and explore the city of Chicago. Some of the things they did were, eat a fancy restaurant, go to a baseball game, join a parade, and visit an art museum. While they were

The two most prominent arguments for moral relativism include the argument of cultural diversity as well as the argument of tolerance. When it comes to cultural diversity, relativists argue

Two characters that will be examined from the film include Andrew Clark (played Emilio Estevez) and Richard Vernon (portrayed by Paul Gleason). The setting of the film takes place on a Saturday at a suburban Chicago high school. The students are arriving for a special session of detention that will take place all day. In the beginning, everyone is sticking with their traditional stereotypes that were formed from other perceptions (based upon the social group they belonged to). As the day progresses, everybody begins to realize that they are more than these commonly held views. Instead, each person has their own special skills and talents that make them unique. Moreover, all the students and adults are wrestling with similar challenges at

The movie, The Breakfast Club, is a movie about five students who get Saturday school and become friends as a result of it. The characters were: Allison, the quiet girl who would sit in the back and refuse to talk; John, the troublemaker who always talked back to the teachers; Claire, the popular girl who always got what she wanted; Brian, the nerdy student who only cared about having good grades; Andrew, the wrestler who was only focused impressing his father. While watching the movie, I mainly related to Brian. He is pressured to have good grades by his parents and is labeled as the nerd because of it. I am also pressured to have good grades; however, I am labeled as the smart kid in many different classes, but I’m not classified as a nerd.
