I (m53) watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off this weekend with my kids, ages 9 and 10. Of course there are the iconic lines like "Life moves fast..." and "Bueller, Bueller, Bueller..." but the more I watched, the less fun it was.

To be honest, at the end I agreed with Ferris' sister: why does he get away with all this shit when she never could? He's a rich privileged white boy who punches down, tricking and taking advantage of pathetic school administrators, restaurant workers, younger kids at school, his parents, and even manipulates his best friend. He has no empathy for others and does everything for his own enjoyment.

I know I'm a grumpy old man yelling at clouds, but I'm no longer amused by his antics. And I don't think Ferris Bueller could be the hero today that he was in the Reagan 80's.

ETA: To be clear, my kids laughed a lot. And I did too. I was just uncomfortable with the overall message.

You know his kids laughing at the movie made him secretly seethe

Typical performative bullshit Gen X loves to do

Who cares. Ferris Bueller's Day Off is boomerslop. Movie sucks shit

Imagine being such a beta cuckboy that reddit made you hate your own race. I assume he is whitish.

Reddit was a mistake.
Except for the banned r/watchniggersdie

Even as a kid I didn't like the movie that much as far as classic 80s flicks go. Not because of Ferris being problematic but because its not really funny.

>>212995386 (OP)
It isnt problematic. Bueller is just an selfish, spineless prick.
He's stringing his girlfriend along, most likely just for sex, even though he outright says he's going to dump her when he gets to college.
He talks shit about his supposed best friend behind his back, coerce him into taking his dads Ferrari, knowing that he has problems standing up for himself and saying no. He's overall just an unsympathetic character that flirts with women behind his girlfriends back and just gets away with so much shit that would have resulted with a punch to the face, either due to plotarmor or just because we the audience are supposed to like him.

The film overall is okay, bit of a bore. With the exception of jumping on a parade float an driving a ferarri through a window, all they do is basic city tourist stuff for half the movie.

>the person in the movie that hates Bueller is a pedophile
really makes you think

>>212997064
Youre wrong, until recently most people had these """""priveleges"""""" in a first world country upbringing
Hell I've even met thirdies that have a rather normal mindset like this
The world has just fallen off a societal cliff and youre looking up in total despair, that's where your feelings are coming from

Then this gen x preach the self righteous woke moralfagging message to his kids and his kids ended up having the same perspective as their cuckold dad

Holy shit, how do you manage to get filtered by Ferris Bueller, m8? Or did you just get your ass kicked in school every day by Chad?

>>212995386 (OP)
stop making threads that are just screencaps of other websites you fucking faggots

>>212998988
What I hate about the movie is that it implies that 5’7 Matthew Broderick could even BE a “Chad”. That dude would’ve been getting swirlies.

>>212995386 (OP)
I have a friend who was terrified of Ferris Bueller as a kid because he saw him as this being with the power to just change fate and manipulate reality around him.

>>212995386 (OP)
jeanie should have been raped and killed

>>212995386 (OP)
>Neurotic rule following redditor seethes at the carefree “Whatever lol” Chad archetype.
Many such cases

>>212995386 (OP)
Are all redditors this annoying? It’s literally just a fucking movie.

>>212995386 (OP)
Its just a kid playing hooky , its not that deep.

Bueller is a bit of a cunt
Didnt help that they cast broderick as a nonchalant, charismatic character that the teenage audience is supposed to look up to, everything Broderick isnt. He just doesnt manage to carry the character without coming across like a tryhard.

Ferris Buller always sucked.
True chads know the patrician coming of age movie was always Risky Business.

Because your not looking into who/what the character really is. Whoever wrote his character attributes was into Boomer computer hacker culture. Also he is a peaked in High-school narcissist with charm.

A large part of hacking culture since the 70s was "Social Engineering" wich was basicly calling up like an office for example, pretending to be some kind of staff for a service provider and ask for numbers physicly on a computer device, or asking a foolish worker to do somthing on the computer.
You think Jeets came up with that?
Ferris Bueler is how a Nerd views themself if they were the coolest kid in High School in the 80s.
Ferris is a cool geek and that itself if a very uncommon character for the 80s.
>Does not play sports
>Room full of Computer and geek shit
>Hottest girlfreind in the HS
>All Students like him
>Superficial Charm
A boomer that was a nerd in High School had creative control over the character. Some stupid nigger/Spic wrote OPs picrel calling him a rich white boy thinking automatically equals manipulative charisima.
