REVIEW BY: SURVEYLADY10
"Thelma and Louise" is a 1991 buddy movie with women in the
leading roles instead of men. In the buddy film tradition, it features
a road trip, zany situations, and a close relationship between the
two main characters, not to mention crime, a cool car, and a truck
explosion. It is a comedy but one with serious overtones and
themes. , some would say it is a movie about friendship, particularly
female friendship.
Geena Davis plays a browbeaten housewife and Susan Sarandon
plays her waitress friend. Brad Pitt plays the good-looking
hitchhiker they pick up. The film's setting is the stark but beautiful
deserts and canyons of the southwestern and western United
States. As the two women grow more desperate and determined
and closer to each other, the landscape mirrors their
transformation. The women, too, grow stronger-looking and more
powerful, sunburned and muscled, shedding layers of clothes and
luggage. While "Thelma and Louise" is often called a feminist
classic.
LONG BEFORE THE #METOO MOVEMENT,
THERE WAS "THELMA AND LOUISE. "
The film has much less violence than many movies targeted at men,
but the violent scenes might bother some people and require some
discussion. I wouldn't recommend this movie for kids. Some men
might be uncomfortable watching it because the male characters,
except for Michael Madsen's concerned boyfriend character and
Harvey Keitel's police detective character, are insensitive and
brutish. However, the female characters are realistically drawn and
have strengths and weaknesses. Sometimes they get into trouble
because of their choices (like armed robbery) and because the
movie's story pushes them toward desperation, but at other times
they fight back with style against the kind of ordinary mistreatment
that many women can identify with: rudeness, misunderstanding,
verbal abuse, and physical violence. Long before the #metoo
movement, there was "Thelma and Louise."
REVIEW BY: KENDALE2003
Thelma and Louise; with exceptional performances by Susan
Sarandon and Geena Davis.. They play two regular gals who
take off for a weekend holiday. At their first stop, Thelma is
nearly raped outside a bar; Louise shoots and kills the man
then they wind up on the lam in their 1966 T-bird. Gone is the
carefree mood, and their destination is now Mexico.
Along the way, the pistol-packing fugitives become ever
bolder, robbing a convenience store, shooting up a leering
driver's truck, and locking a cop in his car boot. They
become the targets of a manhunt.. every cop in a six-state
area would like to catch them.. but In the end, they opt for
driving their car off a cliff rather submitting to
authorities.Basically, some people loved it, others hated it.
Two women against a bunch of aggressive men, which
turned the movie into the feminist film of the decade!
Even 25+yrs later its still a classic!!
THE FEMINIST FILM OF THE DECADE!
REVIEW BY: JDAY
Thelma and Louise are mainly two misunderstood broads. They find
themselves on the wrong side of the law mostly by accident. However,
these two seem to feel like they have nothing to come back home for
while they are on the run. Even coming home to clear their names.
Their trip continues on as they dodge exes and make new beaus along
the way. You never quite know what Thelma and Louise will get up to
next. Or when they will run out of money.A turn of events shows them
that the outlaw life might not be so bad after all. After meeting a
handsome drifter, played by Brad Pitt himself, the ladies see a side of
the world that they never had been exposed to before.
These somewhat sheltered women decide that it is time to spread their
wings. They must decide though regarding how far is too far. No one can
quite get into the psyche of Thelma and Louise the entire movie. One
thing for sure though is that they develop an unshakeable friendship.
Perhaps this bond is what they both felt they were missing all along.
“Thelma and Louise” is full of twists and turns you will not soon forget.
