My feedback from the movie St. Elmo’s Fire
13 12 2007There were two powerful quotes that I liked throughout the movie. The main quote that stood out for me was “College is like a four year delusion to keep reality out.”
This quote is trying to say that what you learn in college should prepare you for the future. The truth is they keep the reality stuff out. College doesn’t prepare for certain reality consequences. Like if you can’t find the job that you went to school for, they won’t hire you, or its just not for you. Whatever you go to school for is never certain of what you’ll become, Just make sure its the job for you or have a backup plan for the side incase it dosen’t go your way.
The other quote that I thought was meaningful was “Sex is not love.” I know that everyone has a different perspective on this type of subject. To me sex is just lust or the physical attraction. Love is a more meaningful word. Love takes time to develope it dosen’t happen overnight. It takes time to develope a relationship and develope the word love. I know for some people sex is a very meaningful moment for some peoples life, but it all depends on the person you are and what you belief. In other words I do believe what that quote says.”Sex is not love” but love is different towards other peoples eyes.
I agree with you. College doesn’t prepare you for everything once you graduate. Some things you just have to learn on your own. It is also good to hve a backup plan like you said because you can’t always find the job that you want.
I like the quotes that you chose too, they are really strong quotes. Many college students think that college is kind of a waist and also about relationships people think that they maybe in love but it can also just be lust.
I agree with you. College is so different from the real world. Life is not even close to what you will see when you move up and out and have to find that job that you went to school for. You make think that you deserve that job and in the reality so do all the thousands of other grads think.
Also, love to me is something that maybe there one time and the next time it is gone. I have a hard time believing in the “love thing”
