Three mid-80s films about the growing pains of early adulthood. The Brat Pack included several actors who went on to bigger things in later years.
The Breakfast Club is an intense theatrical film about five 18-year-old high school students in Saturday morning detention, which turns out to be unsupervised. The students come from different backgrounds and move in different cliques within the school. Consequently, they begin detention not knowing each other very well. Boredom and the urge to flirt lead them into conversation. Early on, they challenge each other about the superficial images they present to the outside world. This leads to a deeper discussion of their inner identities and the influence of their parents and teachers. Finally, they bond around a consensus of wanting to escape high school life and adult supervision. St Elmo's Fire is about seven close friends who have just left university, and have chosen to remain close to the campus for the first year after graduation. The safe, pretty campus and their old student pub, St Elmo's, provide familiar, comforting surroundings, as they all take their first steps in the adult world. The meat of the film is an entertaining, and sometimes painful, catalogue of their mistakes and growing pains. These mistakes include heavy drinking and other substance abuse, womanising, sleeping with the boss, chasing an unattainable woman, living in a love triangle, over-spending, letting parents run their lives, or behaving as though they were 10 years older. The friends help each other with the fallout from their various crises. Finally, they discover that part of the solution is to change the comforting habits of their student years, including meeting at St Elmo's. About Last Night is about a young couple and their two slightly older single friends, who live, work and play in Chicago. The young couple are brought together by an intense physical attraction. However, the sacrifices of living together in a small apartment is a strain on both of them. The external forces on their relationship include their busy social life, the availability of other partners, and the sceptical attitude of their respective single best friends. The film is based on a 1970s Mamet play, and retains some of the more liberal attitudes of that decade. The main object of the film is to dissect the modern relationship, in the absence of the traditional marriage bond. Although the couple meet following an intense love-at-first-sight moment in a bar, they initially pretend that they are just `having fun'. The writing is particularly good here, presenting the audience with an early version of `saying all the right things' in the early stages of a modern relationship. The moment comes for them to use the big `L' word. Although they say it almost simultaneously, both indulge in post-match analyses with their friends, in which each feels they were more sincere. The mutual disappointment of this moment is their first serious glitch. It leads to distrust, drifting apart, and separation. The separation gives them time for reflection and personal growth, before mutual attraction pulls them together again.
