9 Famous Movie Villains Who Were Right All Along

[IndyJones]

Such blasphemy. I've never heard anyone speak poorly of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."

Indeed. It has some seriously questionable messages (Spoony's done the best exegesis of it I've seen), but it's still a hell of a movie.

Most of the objectionable parts are sorted with the obvious proposition that the movie is a wish-fulfillment fantasy, rather than any sort of objective reality. I mean, they don't let you jump up on parade floats and sing "Twist and Shout" in the real world.

I don't think the Cracked article was trying to say FBDO was a bad movie.

I don't mean to dump on you after you typed SO much, but no one is saying that Cracked is implying the movie is bad. The post immendiately before the one you quoted where RoJo defended the movie was this one:

Ferris Bueller

Or maybe it was just a shit film.

One of the most embarrassingly bad teen films of my generation, and there were a few.
