Reviews
Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
grant-16-865708 There are no errors in this movie. Sheer perfection.
eagandersongil "Enjoying the adoidado vida" is not a great film just for its humor, sarcasm, direction and captivating personages, what makes this great work is its moral not explicit, its philosophy on the life to be fleeting and its ramifications on the perturbation of the head by cameron. The script that tells of the acts of rebellion of Ferris Bueller is opposed to the depression of cameron, the pair, along with the girlfriend of Ferris embarks on a journey of fun, after they leave class, in search of amusement and to enjoy life, but between these intervals each one understands a little more about life and about oneself. John Hughes is a director who knows how to talk and broadcast the dramas and yearnings of youth like no one, always dressed in comedy, his films take all audiences and always preach the philosophy of total entertainment, from beginning to end (not stopping even in the credits) , but John also uses his communication skills to talk to his audience (even though the feature of the breakdown of the fourth wall is widely used here), John creates a film of three characters discovering themselves, but of an emphasis mainly on Cameron , he is the character who understands his purpose and makes the biggest break of rupture of the film, the whole movie is based on trying to enter his mind and understand his personality -Vide the scene of the pictures- he is the real protagonist of the film, and John deserves all our respect for including all this layer on the long and cover of fun and comedy. But in addition to that, the feature has a wonderful technical direction, camera angles and cuts of the film are surgical, in addition to those against flat and long plans, not to mention the richness of screen compositions and costumes, and the striking soundtrack, speaking in remarkable things, we can not forget Mattehew Broderick, who plays the role of his life, although all the actors are great in their roles. Lastly, "Enjoying the Sweet Life" is a film that transcends generations with fun, good humor and intelligence.
dhanusht Directed by John Hughes. One of my favourite childhood directors. It got released in 1986. Its been 32 years. So you haven't seen before then have to time travel pretty much back to be in a mindset to watch this. And from that point of view, this movie has some incredible new things. I am surprised by the usage of voice over narration technique in those time. I came to know about this movie through deadpool credit scenes. I have to accept that I had different expection than what movie offered. It was a little let down. I liked the message of the movie that "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Its funny that how time passed quickly and its been 32 years since movie got releasedd. But I feel that this movie failed to deliver this idea clearly. I felt sometimes, the movie is heading no where and kind of not meaningful. Hey still its from 80's what more you can expect. Coming to the postive things, it explained how the schools were making students dumb and not being very much useful. I liked how bueller know his existence in the movie and his interaction with the audience. Thats simply brilliant. And he kind of guy where everyone knows him and care him. Ofcourse everyone would have crossed this kind people in our school days. So for me it is kind of interesting to know the teenage culture of US in 80's. Coming to cast, everyone did a great job. Maththew, Alan, Mia, Jennifer and Jefferey quite made a impression. The screenplay was sloppy sometimes. The movie has mixed pace. But make you sit through the whole.My rating: (Each worth a point)1 - Story (main theme) 2 - Cast(Acting) 3 - Screenplay 4 - Emotion 5 - Cinematography 6 - Impression 7 - Characterization 8 - Dialogues 9 - Sound 10 - EditingStory, Screenplay(Voice over narration nailed it), Cast(Acting), Cinematography, Dialogues -> Checked5/10 Verdict: One time watchable.
ethanm-29645 I don't know why this is my favorite movie but it is. Yes, I mean favorite movie of all time. What does this movie do that others don't? Not much. But it gives you that warm-fuzzy feeling John Hughes movies usually do. The dialogue is witty and funny and Ferris's view of life is uplifting. This movie has so many quotes and is incredibly charming. I'll end this quick review with some words from Bueller himself. "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
