Of course it doesn’t matter if it’s true – what matters is that the beating heart of this movie is Cameron, and the sensitivity his friends show him in trying to give him a good time. A fairytale of liberation, self-worth, confidence and the importance of pure fun, George Will (not your average film reviewer) called it “the moviest movie”, which is true in a lot of ways. It takes advantage of all the things a movie can do better than any other media – take chances, dip into the fantastical, create amazing images, and work as a discrete package. It’s probably John Hughes’s best movie, and that’s saying something.
