Yes of course I was thinking about this, how Ferris Bueller day off was such a big hit when it came out this summer I turned 16. It came out in June and I was given the free poster and free button to really lock in the excitement for the movie as I was one of the first to see it at the Gage 4 theater. Then more than a month later I would be working my first job, two days after I had turned 16. In other words I didn't learn any lessons about how life goes too fast.
So what's interesting is that I have a lot to write about this movie, but it also goes into a transition of the monsters Journey, that this discussion of how movies can symbolize both the self and Shadow, and their characters that we might not like but then would be best representative of ourselves the parts we don't want to see. That the monsters journey is developed so you come to healing and accepting the monster you've become, the monster and human combined. And I think of the movie Gremlins as a great example of that.
Course there's also when you're thinking of Horror because that was more of child horror, like one of the first horror movies in a while that was made for children too? Which is really weird it was the '80s, but then you can get into it came from the closet, how queer identities saw themselves in horror movies.
