[watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off] This movie has one of the greatest villains of all time.
Yeah. Principal Rooney is so mean.
Rooney? Rooney's not the villain.
Oh, you mean the sister, that girl from...
...Dirty Dancing/Wind.
Okay, first of all, Wind is what you retained from Jennifer Grey's career? And no, she's not the villain either.
Then who is?
Cameron.
Cameron? No. Cameron's his best friend, Cameron's his sidekick.
Edgar, I think I know a little something about Campbellian storytelling. Ferris is the hero, Jennifer Grey is the foil, Principal Rooney is the fool, Sloane is the sidekick, Cameron's the villain.
Wait, how is Cameron the villain?
Ferris just wants to show Cameron a fun day for once in his pathetic little life, but Cameron acts like a whiny knob the whole time, subverting every attempt at fun with his passive-aggressive anxiety and relentless nay-saying, essentially ruining what might be Ferris's last day of freedom by being a miserable, agoraphobic, cockblocking enemy of fun!
Cameron's sick, he doesn't even want to go out, but Ferris guilts him into it and...and makes him steal his father's luxury automobile.
Are we even watching the same movie?
I think so.
