post #5 Ferris Buellers Day Off

1. In this movie Ferris and his friend Cameron take Camerons dad's car around Chicago and while they are walking around the city someone takes it and puts many miles on it. Well when Cameron finds out he goes into total shock, him and his friend then go try and relax by the pool and while relaxing Cameron "fakes" drowning because he is trying to realize what he needs to do.
 2.) In the movie Sandlot, one of the young boys fakes drowning so that he can make out with the "HOT" lifeguard.
3.) The connection between these two scenes in the movies definately relate to one another, whether the meanings of the incidents are the same. Cameron went into total shock and was just trying to think about what had happened and how to make it better, while in the Sandlot they do it to get attention from the hot lifeguard, and try to get mouth to mouth. They thought "drowning" was going to make everything better. Or atleast solve the problems.
4.) The whole drowning act has different meanings to both characters. In one the kid was just trying to think about how to fix his problem and in the end he sticks up for himself and trashes the car, in the other the kid only wants to catch the attention of the lifeguard and recieve mouth to mouth from her.
