John Hughes commentary - The Museum scene from Ferris Bueller's Day Off

This is just a small clip I cut together of John Hughes talking about the museum scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It's one of my all-time favorite scenes, and it's interesting to hear what his motivations were for shooting it the way he did.

So in the end, the movie is more about Cameron than it is about Ferris. Cameron is the one who is transformed. Ferris's seemingly reckless behavior is really an attempt to get his friend to come out of his shell and stand up to his father, which he does in the end. A deep and absolutely brilliant movie cleverly disguised as a light comedy. RIP John Hughes.

@ItMeansFaith I believe they kiss in front of a ''Chagall'' stained glass, not ''Starry Night'' but I agree with you about being a brilliant beautiful scene.

What a wonderfully gifted man John Hughes was and this sequence is a fitting tribute to his genius.

[LugeoLeon]

wow.. it's been so long since I've been wondering about this scene, there is something strong about it

and now I finally get it

[ItMeansFaith]

This scene was already brilliant. The beautiful art, the kiss under Starry Night, and a Smiths song in the background. But with the John Hughes commentary, it suddenly becomes all the more affecting. The man was truly a genius. RIP.

This movie shaped who I am today. It made me realise that authority can always be thwarted, provided you're clever enough to out-think whoever may be forcing their oppression on you. This was reenforced when I watched "The Breakfast Club" by the late mr Hughes.

Thank you and rest in peace John Hughes.

Most of John's films were about teen angst. I loved the dancing scene in "Breakfast club" and how they all eventually connected. It's a shame The man himself can't see these comments. He'd be so proud his work touched so many people

He is talking about a psychopatic child...there is nothing there and so they adopt the Mask of Sanity..
