St Elmo’s fire is a film about 7 best friends and there
journey after collage and it features all different types of relationships
between charters like being best friend, being in love with each other and
being in love with someone who doesn't know, which is brilliant because
normally in story’s there is only one or two of the types of relationship and
it is with the same people but this film has different people with different
relationships with each other. I think
this film is so fantastic and I loved every minute of it. This film is almost
indescribable, it made me laugh, it made me happy and at some points I was
tensing up and biting my nails wondering what the charters were going to do
next and how they would react. This film although old and outdated is still an
un replaceable classic to me much like similar film the breakfast club. I have
seen this film so many times that it partially lives in my laptop. I think that
one of the best parts of this film is that everyone for some reason or another
can relate to the situations or the charters or both.
Out of the
seven main charters featured in this film my favorite by far way Kevin, the
charters sarcastic humor made me laugh, I started to like him in the scene
where he is on his bed listening to respect by Aretha
Franklin, singing along and playing bongos wearing sunglasses and then he has
to stop when Kirbo walks in. That scene is hilarious not only for the content
because I have done something similar and I was able to relate to the charter
and the scene. Another reason I like Kevins
charter so much is because he is in a situation that I can relate to with
liking someone that they can’t have which most people go through and it is
realistic and relate able.
There are so many good scenes
in the film but I think the best one is where Jules has locked herself in her
apartment and Kirbo, Billy, Kevin, Alec and Leslie come and try and get to
Jules. Even though Alec tried to hurt Kevin and each person had their own
personal problems they dropped it to help their friend and I think that is
truly inspiring how that she has friends that care so much about her and are
willing to get a blow torch to break the bars on the window and risk hurting
themselves by charging through a door. It makes me wish and wonder if my own
friends are like that because they are a friend group that I look up to and
want to be like because of how close and caring they are. It also makes me
happy to see them become friends again, through the arguments and bad behavior
they all came through and sorted everything else. In the scene at the end where
they were deciding whether to go for a drink in their usual place, it shows how
they all grew up and became more like adults because they decided against it
because of work and decided on brunch instead so they can still hand out like
they used to but adapt to suit their new selves, which I look up to and hope to
be like with my friends because although we are getting older and we have work
and school and we can’t hang out like usual, but we can still try because the
charters I have known my friends for years and wouldn't want to lose them.
