Insight: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

“The closer he looks at the child, the less he sees…The more he looks at it, there’s nothing there and I think he fears that the more you look at him, the less you see—there isn’t anything there. That’s him.”

– John Hughes’ DVD commentary

The music that accompanies this is Dream Academy’s cover of Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want, originally by The Smiths.

Björk and books

“There are certain emotions in your body that not even your best friend can sympathize with, but you will find the right film or the right book, and it will understand you.” – Björk

all that no-one sees
you see
what’s inside of me
every nerve that hurts you heal
deep inside of me
you don’t have to speak – i feel
emotional landscapes
they puzzle me

Bryan John Appleby sings a song in a rowboat

I’ve written about him once before.

I am roaming through the darkness
I am rambling through the night
I will find you soon my darling
Be sure, and hold the light

A black cloud hangs out my window
And covers up the road
And not one good reason to keep me
But please don’t let me go

The Tallest Man on Earth. I Won’t Be Found (Piano Version)

Really brings out the bittersweet in this song.

I’m gonna float up in the ceiling
I built a levee of the stars
And in my field of tired horses
I built a freeway through this farce

Well if I ever get that slumber
Ill be that mole deep in the ground
And I won’t be found
