John Hughes' films focus on the ever-relevant topic of growing up means they age remarkably well (apart from Sixteen Candles,) which is the case for Ferris Bueller. Cameron's innermost feelings are concerned with the universal topics of feeling lost and unsure of himself, as evidenced later in the film when he shares his anxieties with Sloane about '' School, parents, the future.'' He compares this with Ferris, who he thinks '' can do anything''.
