In the film Ferris Beuller, the life of a high school pranskter class clown is portrayed through the character Ferris Beuller. He decides to take a day off from school which is what he is notorious for. His principal tries to catch him in the act in every way he can but Beuller's counteractions and phony phone calls deflect the principal of the high school away. Ferris is able to take his friend's dad's car and both his best friend, and girlfriend to the city for a day of play. In the end, he never gets caught and he still has the same likeable/adorable reputation.
In the film, Ferris uses his best friend Cameron to his advantage to have a fun day off from school. He forces Cameron to come over and make a phony phone call to the Principal of the high school even when Cameron is home sick. He then uses Cameron to snag the Farrari that belongs to Cameron's dad. Pretty much everything Ferris does is a direct product of using his best friend.
The connection I made to the film had to do with the movie The Lion King. In this movie, Scar uses the hyeenas to do his dirty work and intimidate Simba, Nala, and Zaaaaaazuuuu. For whatever Scar does that is bad, he blames the hyeenas for the damage. In Ferris beuller, Ferris uses Cameron to take the blame for the eventual wrecking of the Ferrari.
This connection effects the reader by making it seem like it is "cool" or "okaaaaay" to use other's to your own advantage. The humor and highschool life that we as students relate to almost 100 percent makes this aspect more of a normal influence. The "cool" factor really comes into play in both films.
