Thelma And Louise (1991)

As many of you know, "Thelma and Louise" is a Ridley Scott film about two women on the lam from the cops for murder. I haven't seen it so I decided to check it out.

For those of you who haven't seen it, I'll provide you with a quick plot summary. Thelma and Louise start out going on vacation to a cabin to relax and do some fishing. Unfortunately they get into trouble when they stop at a bar. While at the bar Thelma gets a bit tipsy and dances with this man that she barely knows. One thing leads to another and she ends up almost getting raped by him but is saved when Louise comes to the rescue and shoots him. They run and run for the entire movie until they reach the climax with about 15 police cars chasing them around in the desert. They decide that they would rather die by their own will, rather than getting caught or killed by the police. So, they drive off the cliff of the Grand Canyon and supposedly die in a fiery crash.

What I liked about this movie was that it closely examines the changes in both Thelma and Louise throughout the entire film. They both go from being hesitant and sort of down about their lives to doing everything they can to escape from the police. They realize the value of life, but they also realize the value of their friendship they end up realizing that they really don't have anybody except for each other.

It really has a pretty heart warming ending with an engaging plot (that I really didn't do justice to in my summary). "Thelma and Louise" gets a 4/5.
