SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
edwardcooper-92204 This is a great road movie starring Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon which did more for feminism subtly than what real feminsist haven't been able to achieve somehow. Directed by Ridley Scott- once again proving his mettle in any genre- Thelma And Louise is a journey by two best friends and starring cameos the most famous of them being Brad Pitt. A film which is a riot as well as lots of fun.
Sober-Friend This is one of the rare times that I went to see this movie more than once. When I first saw it "I had no idea what to expect" and neither did the audience. Everybody thought we were "Seeing a Comedy". So the events in this film shook me (and the rest of the audience) to my core. What I saw was a film that did not follow the predictableness of a Hollywood film. What I got was an eye opener. I loved the film regardless of the events that happen in the film.I do not want to give this entire film plot away but to me "Everyone Should See This Film". It is a statement on relationships and how things happen when you "Never Saw It Coming" WOW!!
Keanan Tunstall I don't quite know what it is about this film.This film is really, really good. it is a plethora of emotion, from jovial to gloomy, it has it all. I began to watch this film with the worst intentions. however was utterly surprised.I loved the character development of Thelma and Louise. and even the side characters of Madsen, Keitel and Pitt were all fantastic too. they all felt human and showed true raw human emotion. This film oddly reminds me of "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" because of its great ability to make you feel happy and sad, there are very few films that can do this for me, and when it does it makes the happy bits better and the sad times sadder.This film may not look it, but it is great.
Predrag "Thelma and Louise" is all and none of the things as which it has been described. It is about the friendship between two women, about female independence and male sexism, but it is neither a simple "chick flick" nor a monument to feminism (although I have to admit that watching it can have an almost therapeutic effect when you've just about "had it" again with the male slightly-less-than-half of society). Most of the men that Thelma and Louise encounter are two-dimensional cartoon characters, but "Reservoir Dogs" and perpetual tough guys Harvey Keitel and Michael Madsen (of all people) are cast against stereotype. The movie also features some absolutely stunning pictures of the Southwestern scenery and mostly takes place on the road, but it is not just a "road movie" (feminist or otherwise). More than anything, this is a movie about the things that shape the way we are, and about the consequences of our actions. Had Thelma learned to use her brain before and not after their encounter with Harlan the rapist, she would have seen him for what he was and avoided him from the start. Had Louise not been raped herself, she would probably not have shot Harlan at being provoked by him, after the self-defense situation was already over. Impulse? Fate? Justifiable homicide? Hardly. Thoroughly understandable? Absolutely, at least from a woman's point of view.But above all else, it's a movie about two humans getting caught up in a maddening spiral of events that have taken on a life of their own - a perfect parable for what's happening all over the world, day in and day out. You set something in motion and from that moment on it's beyond your control. Thelma and Louise's only "triumph" is their acknowledgment that they have done this to themselves. They don't say so of course; but their final action says it for them. The plot could've also been one dimensional and uninteresting, but writer Callie Khouri again made of sparkle with inventive sequences, a solid mix of action, laughter and drama, and crackling dialogue. And the direction by cinematic director Ridley Scott is audacious. The last sequence is one of the most beautiful images in cinema, and it brought a bit of a tear to my eye. Whilst there are some laughs along the way to endure (such as the pair blowing up a foul-mouthed van drivers vehicle up), Thelma And Louise stands as a compelling and riveting drama.Overall rating: 8 out of 10.
