NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

2karl- First there was Bonnie and Clyde then came Thelma and louise a fun and briliant film from Ridley Scott filled with adventure comedy cameos and this film charts the extraordinary tale of two ordinary women s housewife and a waitress they have a girl's weekend becomes a electrifying odyssey of self discovery boasting a stellar cast of Susan Sarandon Geena Davis Harvey keitel and brad pitt . This gripping and gritty road movie turns all buddy movies on their head from westerns to outlaw flicks this film give us tough yet vulunerable female leads speeding through the vast emotional landscape that ranges from joy to rage through comic moments that fill this exciting movie and their crime spree this film deserved more oscars than it got with the two of the most captivating oringinal infamous heroe's to burst on screen this film is two hours long this is gave 7/10 this is my 256 review

BrazenBrunhilda One of the ultimate, "good girls gone bad by circumstance," films in cinematic history, Thelma & Louise, was a ground-breaking movie showcasing the story of two women who embarked on a crime spree, not out of want, but of the pure necessity for survival. In 1991, it was relatively rare to see females in a position of pure power and wielding weapons (that includes both sex AND guns). Finally, a big box office film showed that when pushed headlong into moral, ethical and life or death situations, women can be just as ruthless, strong and resourceful as men. These chicks didn't need to be rescued, coddled or defended. It is a, "stand your ground" movie that really hit viewers, especially females, in the gut. Today, we have a surplus of woman-empowered films, but 25 years ago they were far more rare. Sure, I finally saw this flick at the dollar theater years after it's initial release, but it was no less spectacular. At certain moments, even I, as a somewhat cynical and strong chick myself, got goosebumps in reaction to some scenes, like the one near the end of the film where the two feisty felines finally emasculate the disgusting, slovenly and perverted truck driver that plagued the two for most of the movie and then proceed to blow his rig to the moon (although gas tanks don't explode just because a well- placed bullet hits them; it's actually the fumes from the gas that ignite, not the liquid itself). Just awesome. And to add insult to injury, Thelma steals the trucker's filthy hat as he screams in defeat, "you bit**es from hell!". Hilarious and well deserved payback. Thelma & Louise is a brilliantly acted, wonderfully written and fabulously directed movie that is officially in my personal, "Top ten chick flicks of all time" list. Except...the soundtrack tries to suck the life out of almost every scene with a soundtrack. Good grief, those tunes really stink. It's not that I hate country music, it's that the creators of this film somehow managed to find the absolute worst songs in music history. Horrid. Sometimes I hit the mute button to spare my sensitive ears; I prefer trash metal/hard rock. Regardless, I think every female over the age of 17 should see this movie at least once in their lives. Hopefully, one day they will show it to their granddaughters.

Matt Sewell Oh what a confused, sometimes wonderful movie this is. At times, one believes this movie is beneficial to women and the feminist cause in general (I'm a feminist accidentally born with testicles, in case you were wondering). Too often, though, the movie falls back on patriarchal norms to advance its narrative.And, not to spoil the ending too much (if you don't know how this movie ends, get a job and stop living underneath a bridge!), the fate of the women protagonists is, ultimately, the fate of any woman who stands up for herself in a patriarchal society -- total doom.The movie begins on an excellent note. Two women have decided to take a vacation together. The younger of the two, Thelma, does so at the risk of angering her typical knuckle-dragging patriarchal husband who, gag, watches football.The women stop for food and some drinks at a bar and Thelma, enjoying her freedom, gets a little too drunk. A complete sleaze-a-thon takes her to the dance floor and spins her around until she's dizzy and feels the need to vomit. He accompanies her to the parking lot under the guise of helping her, and then, surprise, attempts to rape her.Here's where the movie gets complicated. Louise shoots the rapist before he can go through with the act. Initially, she aims the gun at him and tell him to let her friend go. Of course, the use of the phallis, the gun, is already a flaw in the film. The women should be able to protect themselves without resorting to the oppressive tools of the patriarchy. When the rapist says something rude to Louise, she kills him. Now the women are in trouble.What follows is a Bonnie & Clyde-like adventure across the southwest. While these types of films are enjoyable, they are, essentially, patriarchal fantasies. In one of the movie's more problematic story lines, Thelma goes to bed with a young Brad Pitt just a day or two after she is nearly raped. Any survivor of rape will tell you that's most likely not going to happen, even if it's Brad Pitt!The film builds the relationship between the women but never releases the latent homoerotic nature of their relationship. This is also a flaw.And, as stated, the women are not allowed to get away clean despite the fact that they wished none of the horrible things that happened to them on themselves.Oh, and Harvey Keitel is thrown in to appease all the uncomfortable men who still believe they are somehow not complicit in patriarchal oppression.For entertainment, this is a great movie. For political purposes, it fails tremendously.

imdbstinks Nice pictures, stupid story. How unbelievably stupid the male characters are. And the stupid decisions the two women take, are just boring. All to begin with, the a act of violence which is the foundation of the entire movie. Read the other negative references.Just don't watch it (unless you are a miserable 50 year old female who never had any happy moments in life, particularly not with the other sex).why did she shoot that guy in the first place - why don't they split the money - why are all guys idiotswhy woman of the women who is portrait as mostly nervous in hectic situations suddenly able to pull of an amazing criminal action
