Now, it's hard to imagine another actor playing Ferris Bueller.
It's a testament to Matthew Broderick's performance that the worst character was still likable. As for Ferris's future, John Hughes said, ' That kid will either become President of the United States or go to prison.' Perhaps he ended up being a cult leader given his eerie ability to control people with little regard for their well-being. Ferris did a disservice to Cameron regardless of his friend's epiphany at the Art Institute. Cameron destroyed his dad's Ferrari and possibly his own life despite actor Alan Ruck's optimistic suggestion in 2021 that he turned out okay. Ferris Bueller's actions were outright wrong compared to Principal Rooney's terribly executed righteous crusade, and his over-the-top, Machiavellian plotting to skip school and manipulate everyone was creepily elaborate.
