The Dream Academy - Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want video free download

I have so many vivid memories that just keep popping up in my head of my childhood that I forgot about. Playing tag, street football, and riding bikes all day with my brother and cousins. We were always outside without a care in the world. Man how times have changed, the mid 80's rocked.

Many great things came out of the 80s. The Smiths, Back to the Future, New Order, most John Hughes movies. But I'm convinced, in spite of my wholesale love for the culture which has survived through until today in one manner or another, that Dream Academy was one of the best things of that age. So much raw emotion, and every last bit of it distilled so perfectly in Bueller to get at not only the poignancy of the sequence, but to develop the characters. Developing Cameron, giving a layer of depth of understanding to Ferris and Sloan's relationship, giving Cameron that reflective moment, the first time we actually see a distinct yet tweak to his character looking at the Serrate painting. That sequence holds as one of my absolute favorite from any film, and it hits me every time, even just *thinking* about it. There's such brilliance in Hughes' work and he demonstrates a real understanding of what it is to be a lost kid, middle of the road, average. Ferris Bueller and Breakfast Club are easily, in my opinion, his greatest works and they both affect me, both as a writer and as a kid growing up identifying with Cameron but wanting to be a Ferris, before realizing there's nothing wrong with Cameron, especially not how he is by the end: *he's* the film's real protagonist, he's the one with the arc, the development, the one changed and bettered by the events. He's the film's real hero. And there's something so infinitely admirable about his subdued change, it's not over the top, it's not hamfisted, but it *is* distinctly there, and it's *organically* there. It's not even a complete shift in character, it's a new piece of his life, a new facet of his existence, being added and modified.What I'm trying to say is we need more films of such breadth and beauty, just as Bob Dylan was the voice of a generation musically, Hughes was one in terms of cinematics, and his voice is timeless, touching on timeless issues still relatable today, characters who are relatable universally, a the same type archetypes enough to see yourself and those around you in their shoes and yet distinct enough to very much be their own characters, a precarious balance. We don't have a film like that today. I suppose we don't need one, we have this, and it is well and truly timeless. But we do need more material *like this*, we do need a new creator to take the mantle and inspire as Hughes once and still does.

I believe what Hughes was trying to express in the museum scene is that real learning doesn't take place in a classroom but out in the world, in a place where you are immersed in the beauty of knowledge. You can study all you want about the Mona Lisa from a text book but until you stand there before it, your knowledge of it will never be complete.
