The Big Chill: Symbolism The title of the movie The Big Chill is symbolic of the meeting of the group of adults who have not seen each other in years. It alludes to the circumstances which brought them together as well as their reaction to the meeting. The movie The Big Chill is about a group of adults who were once very close in the past but have drifted apart throughout the years. They are brought together under an unfortunate set of circumstances: One of the group, Alex, had committed suicide. This is the first instance in which the title, The Big Chill, is alluded to. It is symbolic of Alex's death, and the cold experience that was needed to bring the group together once more. The group had a "reunion" after his funeral, only to find out that nobody really knew each other since their college days. This is symbolic that their friendships had been frozen, or dead, perhaps, since the group "broke up" many years ago. Another possibility is that the title symbolizes each individual's stolid realization that a certain part of their lives was dead, or frozen.
