I was getting ready to work up a post on this one, though for other reasons (I went to high school where parts of Ferris Bueller were filmed, I remember seeing "Save Ferris" on our water tower before knowing what was going on, and some people at College even called me Cameron because of a physical likeness, not even knowing my slight connection to the film's making). Nice catch on the metaphor. Better than anything I could have come up with. I drove by this house once in high school. Unless it's winter it's hard to see anything from the road, and even then it's hard to get a glimpse of it while navigating the turns. Jimmy, you beat me to the punch on this one.

I think he really cared a lot about Cameron. He wanted his friend to loosen up and enjoy life and not worry so much about things that, in the long run, don't really matter at all. Ferris Bueller has a preternatural self awareness for a high schooler. He realized early on what the lucky ones only understand in hind sight: life is for living! He just had to get Cameron out of his (literal) glass house to shake him awake. I completely agree with you about the prices of art v architecture, but I can’t back you on your opinion of Ferris.

How can a Damien Hirst be worth the same as a building? Odd indeed. But for all the Ferris love out there, let it be said that that kid was a jerk. I always felt rather bad for poor benighted Cameron. His best pal didn't really care for him at all.
