In the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Ferris often uses Cameron in a way. He makes him make a phony phone call to his principal when it could've gotten him in a lot of trouble. After this, he takes Cameron's father's prized Ferrari. This is obviously not something to mess around with especially if you don't have permission! Ferris really has no respect for what Cameron wants and really just uses him.
One connection I made is to The Lion King. Scar uses the hyenas to gain power as king. Once he is king he does nothing for them at all. He even blames them for the condition of Pride Rock when in a pressure situation. Another similarity in these two stories is how both Cameron and the hyenas come to a realization. Cameron realizes that he needs to take a stand against his father; the hyenas realize that Scar is not their friend and rebel against him.
I think this means that really looking at your life situation and self reflecting will teach you a lot about yourself. Cameron needed to realize that he needs to take a stand against his father. He didn't realize this until he had a reality check. The hyenas didn't realize that Scar was using them and wasn't on their side until Scar was in a moment of weakness. Before a dire situation comes to us, we can just take a moment to self reflect and try to see what is really going on in our lives!
