What Happened In The St. Elmo's Fire Ending St. Elmo’s Fire’s Ending Resolved Multiple Storylines Close St. Elmo’s Fire follows an unlikely group of friends in their first year following graduation from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. One of the biggest, easily understandable criticisms of St. Elmo’s Fire is that its characters are more often unlikable and harder to root for than not. This only worsens with the film’s progression, with the second half delving deeper into melodrama.
How Jules’s Attempt To Freeze Herself To Death Is Foreshadowed Throughout St. Elmo’s Fire St. Elmo’s Fire Had An Obsession With Death Close Towards the end of St. Elmo’s Fire, Jules deadbolted her D.C. apartment door, now empty as everything she owned was seized, and sat in the middle of the floor with the windows open trying to freeze herself to death. Actor Demi Moore called it her most cringeworthy St. Elmo’s Fire scene, and it’s not hard to see why.
Fortunately, Jules’ friends finally came through for her. She'd displayed signs of having larger issues that went unspoken, and her lies had become obvious. In the “cringeworthy” St. Elmo’s Fire scene, Jules did what she thought necessary for her cries for help to be taken seriously, even if the scene wasn’t as serious as it could’ve, or should've, been. Moore’s delivery of the relatable “I never thought I’d be so tired at 22” helps cut through the satire.
Kirby believed he was in a romantic comedy where if he did all the big grand gestures, Dale would fall madly in love with him. However, she and Dale are never on the same page, as shown by the Annie Hall confusion. Unfortunately, Dale gets somewhat rewarded for his creepy, stalking behavior with kindness and a kiss he initiated. Their final scene even implied that Dale wished she had given him a chance when she had a kind, supportive, seemingly normal boyfriend.
Kevin was in the more traditional sympathetic, perhaps even heroic, role of the best friend watching the girl he loves get mistreated by a man, knowing he would never treat her that way. This narrative falls apart when considering he kept Alec's infidelity a secret and later tried to force Leslie into a relationship she didn’t want. Thus, the top Letterboxd review of St. Elmo’s Fire, made by user Kevin Clarke, calls the movie "A parade of the worst men ever.
This dialogue explains the meaning of St. Elmo’s Fire’s title and delivers its message. These lines are supposed to comfort Jules and viewers who might feel like her. They’re all going through a post-college adjustment period, and though they react to it differently, it’s not easy on any of them. As Billy said, they’re at “the edge,” it’s like a cliff where you’re always scared you'll trip over the edge if you're not standing completely steady on top, but you're not standing alone.
