St. Elmo's Fire (3/8) Movie CLIP - Marriage Is Obsolete (1985) HD

Показать описание

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Leslie (Ally Sheedy) encourages Kevin (Andrew McCarthy) to fall in love again, but unbeknownst to her, Alec (Judd Nelson) just cheated on her with a salesgirl.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Post-collegiate angst, '80s style, is the subject of this coming-of-age ensemble piece, which traces the fortunes of a group of Georgetown grads as they enter the real world and grapple with work, infidelity, and adulthood. The most outwardly upscale member of the gang, Jules (Demi Moore), hides a plethora of emotional baggage behind a chic wardrobe, an expensive apartment, a fashionable drug habit, and lots of meaningless casual sex. Her friend Wendy (Mare Winningham) has the opposite problem; a trust-fund baby with body-image issues and little sexual experience, she's hung up on Billy (Rob Lowe), a no-good, sax-playing drunkard who can't face up to his responsibilities in the job market or at home with his wife and young child. Such open infidelity is anathema to Alex (Judd Nelson), who must maintain a sense of propriety even while engaging in compulsive womanizing; after all, the Democrat-turned-Republican's nascent political career requires the sort of picture-perfect relationship he shares with girlfriend Leslie (Ally Sheedy). That doesn't sit too well with tortured writer Kevin (Andrew McCarthy), who toils away at a newspaper job and pines away for the unattainable Leslie. Unrequited love also dogs Kirby (Emilio Estevez), a law-school student whose greatest wish is to romance classy doctor Dale Biberman (Andie MacDowell), who is, alas, way out of his league. Co-written by director Joel Schumacher and his studio intern, Carl Kurlander, St. Elmo's Fire spawned the number one pop hit "St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)," which was credited to John Parr but co-written by music producer David Foster.

I love how Judd convincingly played a high school student and a full grown adult in the same year.

"Leslie has to marry me soon."
"Why, are you pregnant?"
Kevins quick replies are brilliant and easily missed. Love his character.

I guess Bender eventually fixed himself up

People go on about Rob Lowe being hot . I think Andrew McCarthy is delicious.

Rome

Judd Nelson is so handsome in this movie

I guess 8 Saturday’s of detention made a successful republican out of Bender.

Andrew McCarthy has become a Director working on Orange Is The New Black. I'm so happy for him. He faded out of the limelight for awhile and he had a heavy problem with Alcohol.

This movie is so timeless. John Hughes films & *St. Elmo's Fire* are the few films that bring a smile to my face.

I enjoy this movie, but the more I watch it, the more unlikeable the characters are. Think about it.

Alec - Self explanatory. Cheats on Leslie. Blames his cheating on her because she refuses to marry him. Then when she finds out, he kicks her out and blames her for messing up their relationship.

Kevin - Knows Alec cheats and sits back and says nothing. I know it's not his place, but Leslie is his friend too and the woman he loves.

Jules - stuck up druggie party girl with daddy issues

Kirby - The most unlikeable character in the movie imo. The way he handles his feelings towards Dale are quite scary tbh. He's unhinged. Any woman reading this, if you had a guy banging on your door like a psychopath in the middle of the night, would you not file a restraining order against that whack job?

Billy - Parties every night, does drugs. All the while has a wife and child at home. To his credit, he does try to make an effort to clean up and be a good father. But even then while he's trying to fix his marriage he's semi seeing Wendy on the side.. All the characters come off looking like assholes the way they excuse his behaviour. They should be telling him to go home to his wife and child.

Wendy - Although a sweet girl, I have to question her for getting involved with Billy whose married and has a child. I get that she loves him, but she's not helping his situation by not taking a step back and letting Billy sort his life out.

Leslie - I saved Leslie till last because she' not exactly unlikeable. She's not selfish like some other characters. But I do have to question her intelligence. She didn't ask Kevin why he didn't say anything after Alec alluded to him knowing about his cheating. Instead she sleeps with him. And the movie ends with her telling both Kevin and Alec that she loves them both. Huh? Alec shamelessly cheated on her, blamed her for it, and she still loved him at the end? She's a sweet girl though

Did he just put cigarette ash in the wok?

Furtivo

The cast is so beautiful in this movie that it hurts!!!

darnellmajor

Kevin is one of my favorite characters in any movie ever!!!

This movie is great and all but now that I’m older I realize how toxic Alec was, “i’m only cheating because she won’t marry me once she marries me I’ll stop” 😅😅
