Incredible adventure

Thelma and Louise is an incredible, if familiar, adventure that's funny, well paced and emotional. Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis give incredible performances and have fantastic chemistry. Harvey Keitel, Brad Pitt and Michael Madsen all give really good supporting performances. Ridley Scott's direction is amazing and the music by Hans Zimmer is great as well as the soundtrack.

A Feminist Classic

A pair of bored thirty something friends decide on a girl's weekend and in that time become the most wanted women in America. Not that bedding either Susan Sarandon or Geena Davis hasn't got its delightful aspects, but that's not the kind of wanted I'm talking about.The film is shot in some of the reddest part of red state America where gender roles and rules are laid down real specific and you don't cross them. Just these two women going out without husband or significant other partner of the opposite sex means they're loose and available.So when alpha male Timothy Carhart decides after some line dancing at a county honky-tonk that Geena's hot to trot, he decides to do something about it in the parking lot. And if she resists he certainly knows how to bring her in line. But when Sarandon pulls a gun on him he backs down very reluctantly. In fact Carhart's defiant attitude and assumed male superiority snaps something in Sarandon and she blows him away on general principles. After that they're on the run. Sarandon and Davis work beautifully together in Thelma&Louise. Close friends before the homicide takes place, they learn a lot about each other on the journey. They air out finally the way they feel women have been treated in their part of the country. Though I wouldn't recommend women act out quite the way they do, the film remains a great feminist manifesto.Harvey Keitel does a fine job as a caring police officer who wants to bring them in with no problems and before they run up a real criminal record. Christopher McDonald and Michael Madsen are the men in their lives, both in their different ways clueless as to what is going on inside Thelma&Louise. Just the fact they wanted a girl's vacation should have lit up some bulb.McDonald, Madsen are just two of the men these two get to degrade and humiliate on their merry race with destiny. One however that gets the better of them is Brad Pitt in his breakthrough role as a young cowboy they find hitchhiking and give a lift to. Despite their new found feminism, Sarandon and Davis are still quite vulnerable in some areas, as are we all.Callie Khouri won an Oscar for Best Screenplay written directly for the screen. Thelma&Louise got five other nominations including for both Sarandon and Davis for Best Actress. They split the balloting as is what usually happens and Jodie Foster took her second Oscar home for Silence Of The Lambs.Thelma&Louise is destined to be a classic and a feminist manifesto for generations.
