"Flowers at the End of the Road" is the most enthusiastic film-watching atmosphere at the Shanghai International Film Festival this year. The audience burst into laughter and applauded more than ten times.

When Pitt crouched on the ground made his debut, Thelma almost tripped over and stared at him with a surprised look on his face. The audience shouted: Oh... While looking forward to watching the movie, I also felt helpless and funny, Thelma ah Thelma, not long ago Who was the person who pressed the car? Forgot it in just a few minutes? Even if he's Pitt...

Thelma and Louise are on the verge of killing the man who intended to rape Thelma, the Thunderbird drives them away, and the situation becomes increasingly irreversible. Thelma didn't really realize until near the end of the film that she had no home to go back to. In her eyes, Louise can go back, and she has the Elvis-esque frown, and Jimmy, who is usually affectionate, invites her back. But Louise said he (Jimmy) wasn't there to choose. In fact, neither of them can turn back. Like Louise standing in the gorge of the dark night, the sky is twilight and the night wind is blowing, Thelma slowly walks towards her.

After the sunrise in the canyon, they continued to fly, and Thelma made a pun and said slowly: I'm awake, very awake, I've never been awake like this… Everything she saw was different. Her change and potential are astonishing, even by old friend Louise. It's hard to imagine that at first she could only lie down and cry, but she turned into a professional female robber. It doesn't seem that it is so difficult to change. In an instant, it may not be so difficult to change herself. She can only change herself.

Besides themselves, what else can they expect? The sheriff taught life at Thelma's house, and had her husband compliment her on the phone, saying how to miss her, and to put it in her own words: women love that shit! They laughed. The only person who really understands them is Detective Hal. Though as empathetic as Hal in A Space Odyssey, he can't help anything but cry out. Think about it carefully, if it wasn't for his hard work to find and save them, maybe they wouldn't have gotten into trouble so quickly. It is not known if director Ridley added his own projection to the role. However, he said that he is a big fan of Kubrick, because "2001: A Space Odyssey" only embarked on the road of film.

Thelma heard the uncharacteristic enthusiasm on the phone at her yelling husband: Hello Hello! She hung up the phone in shock. The whole place burst into laughter. Following the gentleman-style robbery taught by JD, she swaggered into the store with a gun: Good morning, this is a robbery. Don't get excited, everyone... reasonably ask to hand over the money, and add a sincere and enthusiastic sentence: Bread and whisky are also welcome! Thanks for your cooperation! The whole place was already laughing...

The end of the road continued, and it became more and more out of control, bursting the tires of the passer-by who was rude, burning his fuel tanker, and turning the chasing police cars to their knees... It was like a grand celebration in a festival, like a holiday. Just a holiday, not everyday. Holidays are rare, and you have to prepare for the end of your journey at any time. Because it is rare, try to be happy, let it go, and commemorate it as much as possible. Vacations always stop, but Thelma and Louise want to keep their splendid vacations going, and don't want to say goodbye to the good old days: let's don't stop. Keep going. So they leap into the canyon.

Flying with them was the car on the way, the green Ford Thunderbird. Thunderbirds live in freezing conditions. In Indian mythology, thunderbirds are the incarnation of gods, with the power to stir thunder and lightning.

After the show, I told my friends that fortunately there is an ending song, and the subtitles have to roll for a while, otherwise the lights will turn on, and after a whole scene of hilarious laughter, there are actually teary faces.

The ticket stub sent by Yihai was printed with the excited selfie shot of the two before they set off. Next to it was the line: We are fugitives now, and we must look like fugitives.

What does a fugitive look like? What is freedom like?
