today josh and i visited the excellent art institute of chicago, where we happened to stumble upon “a sunday afternoon on the island of la grande jatte” by georges-pierre seurat. of course, we don’t know this painting because we are art connoisseurs, but from the montage in “ferris bueller’s day off” (which, in my opinion, is one of the greatest movies ever made). we took a series of photos that mimicked the scene in the movie - cameron frye stands in front of this painting and focuses on a little girl in the scene. the camera cuts back and forth from his blue eyes to the little girl, with increasingly closer shots, until the girl is nothing but a series of painted dots, and his eyes are totally spaced-out and sad. it’s an extremely short but very memorable part of the movie.
