What is it called when the characters look directly at the camera and speak to the "audience" in a movie? Like Ferris does in Ferris Buellers Day Off? Is there a real film term that describes this?

it's called "breaking the fourth wall"... it's an actual term used in film, theater, and sometimes literature.

It's called breaking the 4th wall. In a movie, the camera takes the place of the 4th wall in the house.

Terminator a million and a couple of were stone chilly classics. i'm attempting to banish the third and forth from my memory. Alien and the sequel extraterrestrial beings were classics too, yet, even with the actual incontrovertible reality that the third replaced into okayish, it lost it truly is suspense. The forth replaced into purely pants. i somewhat loved The Matrix, till the sequels and rancid-shoots got here out. Critters is a cult classic, even with the undeniable fact that the stick with-united stateswere enormously unfavorable. There are lots extra, yet i purely can't imagine of them!

In plays, it is called an 'Aside'
A piece of dialogue intended for the audience and supposedly not heard by the other actors on stage.
