I love the museum scene from ferris bueller so much not only cause its just great but also cause like everytime i see it i see myself and think about how special that kind of moment is

#i talk abt this often but like cause it impacted me so much #cause like i had the worst experince for my second half of highschool and my dad who also didnt like highschool understood #the importance of like taking the day off abd he'd let me skip and call me in sick and have a ferris bueller day as we called it #cause its a movie we both deeply loved and loved together #and at first id just stay at home in bed not getting up with the movie in the background and like eventually i started to do things w my da #cause my mom didnt know and she couldnt know so id go out and do things so it wasnt noticiable i was home all day #and like id walk around my neighborhood and go to musuem and movies and listen to new music and go to parks and places i hadnt been before #trying to give myself the best day show myself something good and slowly i went from rotting away to being like im taking a stand #im not letting my life unfold around me and i went out and did things i wanted to do and learned about all the things i wanted to #and was actually like involving myself in like what i wanted my future to be i went to plays and art museums and the movies #and when i see that scene i think of john huges commentary and how the museum was a place of refuge for him and so he came back to it #and put it in his movie and allowed it to be thst again and it was for arguably his like magnum opus #and that scene just fills me with such a sense of peace and nostalgia and hope and i cry everytime!#and everytime that movie is in theatres i go and see it and after its all over and i walk out and feel the sun shine on my face #everything for a moment feels like its gonna be okay and i think of my dad and the first time i saw this movie in elementary school #on one of those days he just had off and we took the day off together and how during the moment in my life everyone else was telling me #abt how important school was even when it was killing me he knew that sometimes you just had to take the day off and take it easy #and he let me everytime without questiom cause he knew what it meant and how much it meant to me
