Ferris Beuller, You're My Hero
Sharon C. McGovern defends Ferris from the arrows of '80s movie critics, who decried its lack of social critique.
No! says McGovern, that is missing the point: the film is a work of fiction, Ferris is a rich kid, having a day off from school, not a social realist work. And the message - if there is one - is not to follow your parents or outside forces when you don't want. Take a day off, and look around.
He's still smug, though.
