For those of you who don’t know, there was a theory developed in recent years that in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Ferris is merely a figment of Cameron’s imagination, designed to help him break out of his reserved shell and actually live a little. The obvious comparison here is to Fight Club, and so the theory has been nicknamed The Ferris Bueller Fight Club Theory. Now, it seems unlikely that this is was intended the case, though it holds up surprisingly well with the content of the film. That said, if the initial trailer for Bueller had looked more like this video, then the crackpot idea would be far more than just a theory.
