Ferris Bueller's Day Off - Cameron and the Painting
Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a 1986 American teen comedy film written, co-produced and directed by John Hughes. During the scene in the Art Institute of Chicago Museum, Cameron Frye stares intensely at 'A Sunday on La Grande Jatte' by French Post Impressionist artist George Seurat(1859-1891): In the Director's commentary, Hughes stated that this scene was representative of Cameron's fear that he was like the child in the painting, the more you look at him, the less you see... there's nothing there.

In 1984 the English Rock Band 'The Smiths' released a song entitled 'Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want'. In 1986 another British band called 'The Dream Academy' released a no-vocals instrumental version of that song, and it is that version which was used for this scene.
