Ferris Bueller's Day Off: Pocket Movie Guide by THOMAS A. CHRISTIE (English) Pap

Description: Ferris Bueller's Day Off by THOMAS A. CHRISTIE FERRIS BUELLERS DAY OFF: POCKET MOVIE GUIDEOne of John Hughess most charmingly offbeat films, Ferris Buellers Day Off is certainly among the most overtly humorous of his canon of teen movies. It is also one of his best-remembered, its profile challenged only by the acclaimed The Breakfast Club which was released the year beforehand. Contrasting perfectly with the more serious, issue-based tone of Pretty in Pink which immediately preceded it in the same year, Hughess wittily incisive dialogue was never as razor-sharp as when delivered by the smart-mouthed high school slacker Ferris Bueller.Today Hughes is just as well known for the scripts he created for hugely popular family films throughout the 1990s, including Chris Columbuss blockbuster Home Alone (1990), Brian Levants Beethoven (1992) and Nick Castles Dennis the Menace (1993), written under his pen-name of Edmond DantÃ¨s. But even these accomplishments couldnt compare to the artistic diversity of his output throughout the eighties. Although it is easy to remember Hughes for his meteorically successful teen movies right the way through the including The Breakfast Club (1985) and Ferris Buellers Day (1986), he was every bit as adroit in his handling of suburban satires such as Mr Mom (1983) and Uncle Buck (1989), his wry observations of the great American holiday in National Lampoons Vacation (1983) and The Great Outdoors (1988), the trials of an exasperated everyman commuter in Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987), and the expectation of anxious new parents in Shes Having a Baby (1988). Throughout the course of Hughess career, there has rarely been a lack of variety in his choice of subject matter.REVIEW OF THE AUTHORS BOOK JOHN HUGHES AND EIGHTIES CINEMA ON AMAZONIf like me, you were fortunate enough to live through and grow up during the 80s and early 90s, youll remember just how rich comedy was back then. This book on its own puts most comedies of the modern era to shame as it is a homage to one of the most talented minds in the game. I am of course speaking of none other than the late great John Hughes. This is a great book for getting into the details of how a master of his art came about and created such cinematic gems. Hughes will be sorely missed which is why books like this keep his spirit and work alive!Id say this book is for people who are nostalgic 20-somethings or cinema buffs, but all-round a good book for just about anyone who would like to know what made one of the funniest minds of Hollywood tick.
