A mom showed her Gen Z kids ' Ferris Bueller' and was surprised who they think the real hero is Gen X.

Gen X and Gen Z apparently see the hero's journey very differently.

The twins seemed inspired, and one of them actually teared up in the first five minutes .

Someone recently posted a theory about the character in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

It's described as a flat character arc when the protagonist doesn't change but is instead the catalyst for those around them to change.

Others echo that idea, offering up characters like Forrest Gump and The Dude from The Big Lebowski .
