So you want to know another sign that you're getting older?  When you start relating more to the parents than the kids in movies.  This is especially pronounced when it's a movie you watched as a kid and totally related to the kids.  A great example of this is Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

When I was a kid the character of Ferris Bueller seemed really cool and smart and funny.  He seemed like a rebel that was really sticking it to the Man.  I can still somewhat enjoy the movie on that level, but I can't help but have the feeling now that Ferris is an obnoxious, arrogant, entitled, spoiled little twerp of a teenager than needs to get smacked down a few notches by life.  

And the principal is portrayed as the villain, although really all he's trying to do is get a habitually truant student to come to school.  So in other words, basically his job.  If anything he goes above and beyond and yet gets continuously punished for it.  Okay, maybe there's a little vindictiveness in him and he might actually want to catch Ferris in the act so he can get in trouble, but I still don't think that's an outrageously horrible thing.  After all, Ferris is ditching class.  He honestly should get in trouble and as I previously mentioned he deserves to get taken down a little by life.  

For the record, I'm not suggesting teenagers should never, ever ditch school.  That would be hypocritical of me since I definitely cut class a few times back in the day.  But it was a once in a while thing and I never tried to rub it in any adult's faces how much smarter I was than them.  I just kept my head low and enjoyed an occasional much needed break.

Also, I do still like the movie.  It's fun and has some good laughs and I can to an extent return to the headspace of being a kid when I watch it and root for Ferris.  But it does also hit in a different way as an adult, too.  There's no denying that.  If I encountered a Ferris in real life, I would definitely not like the little punk.
