Thelma & Louise 4K 1991

It's funny how what you do in a desperate situation changes a person's personality, or maybe reveals it: I'm talking about Thelma. In the beginning of the movie she is a weak, naive woman, unlike Louise, who is evidently a leader, but as the events develop, Thelma changes, she becomes very determined, she robs a store the way Brad Pitt's character shows it, and in the massacre scene with the cop, Thelma already looks like a 'gang leader'. These actions and several others were committed in a position of desperation. Usually transgressions ruin a person, but here, in my opinion, the heroines have found freedom. Of course, I'm not advocating this way of life. But if you look at the film from that point of view, then Scott's film could also be called propaganda, which of course would be the nonsense of a madman. That's not what the film is about, it's about how accidents change your whole life.

The murder of the guy outside the bar at the beginning of the trip is nothing short of unexpected. It's the very beginning of the trip and then he gets into trouble - it's just bad luck. This murder turns all plans upside down for a very hopeful trip for the heroines. The men who met on the way turned out to be dishonest: a porter in a bar, a cowboy-robber (Bret Pitt), a trucker-hammer. Louise's husband (Michael Madsen), though he helped with the money, still decided to cause a little scandal. The cop, played by Harvey Keitel, is the only one who sympathizes with the heroines, and in fact is the only male character who understands their situation.

Speaking of desperate situations, we can't help but talk about the very life of the heroines, which is shown at the very beginning of the film. It was also a desperate, or rather hopeless situation, but since the heroines are such that they need freedom, they had to do something, so they left, after which we immediately see Thelma completely different: unlike at home, where she was completely controlled by her husband, so to speak, she immediately became liberated, became talkative (we noticed that at home she was even afraid to ask something from her husband), joyful, in general she was not like that before. Louise, who worked as a waitress, finally became a customer herself (and even tipped the waitress heavily).
