The speech shown at the beginning and end was staged solely for the sake of the movie.

Really?? But, the parade in "Ferris Bueller" -- the one where Matthew Broderick sings "Danke Schon" -- that wasn't staged, right? I mean, you're not telling me that film producers actually set some of this stuff up, are you?

Who knew that Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was a documentary? I thought it was a fictional piece, one in which the rules of ‘willing suspension of disbelief’ were in full force.

I think you are suggesting that Ben is a documentarian in the style of Michael Moore, or even Borat.
