When you talk about a movie or something being, "A Voice of a Generation," I don't know if St. Elmo's Fire has this trait. There's no real message that screams out from this movie. This movie, however, is definitely, "A Heart of a Generation." The 80's generation in which this movie portrays was a time where young up-and-comers started trying to integrate financial success with social bliss, and this movie illustrates that masterfully. The characters are best of friends from an upper-middle class background who have their own respective jobs. They are fighting to pave a way for their career paths while still trying to hang on to the good times in the after-hours.
The cast was- and still is- perfect in invoking emotions out of all of us with their heartfelt performances. St. Elmo's Fire is far from an average young-people movie. This movie has heart, and is the beating heart for the young generation of the 80's. If we dig deep enough into the best of all of us, we could probably find some of our own hearts in St. Elmo's Fire. Fantastic movie. I watch it over and over again- still. |
