11 Reasons Why Childhood Wouldn’t Have Been the Same Without John Hughes

3. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Here’s a big secret to John Hughes’ success. He never forgot that every teenager every where wants one thing: to be heard. As kids, the adults around us tend to dismiss most of what we do with a kind of condescending benevolence. It can be a little infuriating. Enter Ferris Bueller, the kid everyone wants to be. Why? Because when Ferris talks, people listen. And even better, people love what Ferris says. Therein lies the quintessential appeal of Hughes’ story of the best day of hooky ever. Ferris Bueller is charming enough to do what he wants and say what he wants even as a kid. He’s the kid we all want to be.
