Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)

Answer: Cameron stares specifically at the child in the painting, because he identifies with it. He feels the lack of affection and attention from his own family (unlike the child in the painting who is enjoying time with her family, the mother is holding her hand).

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
