I spent part of yesterday catching up on the internet that I didn’t read in April because of NPWM, and Alan pointed me to this discussion on Metafilter about crimes committed in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (still the only movie I’ve seen in the theatre four times), eg. impersonating a police officer, trespassing, grand theft auto, etc.
And then, in the associated Metatalk thread (Metatalk being where Metafilter participants talk about meta-issues), poster Cool Papa Bell suggests that “Ferris Bueller, the person, is just a figment of Cameron’s imagination, like Tyler Durden” (in Fight Club). The whole movie essentially happens in Cameron’s head. I’m loving this theory, even though it doesn’t quite work.
(Also, this.)
