i used to dislike ferris more because of his apparent sociopathy. but after rewatches at different ages i realized that he's totally necessary for cameron not to be crushed under the weight of everything that's been loaded upon him. on his own he'd be a monster, but as counterbalance to his depressed and joyless friend he's a necessary evil/not evil.

fucking high school was a prison. i went bananas much later.
