If it's not the end, why spend wildly

I remember that I didn't really understand it when I read it before, and I was at a loss as to why so many people liked a story that was wrong again and again. Re-watched this movie because of the Grand Canyon. I still don't think this is a feminist, or a film of resistance, but a protest against social injustice. From Louis' distrust of others and society to Selma's ignorance of society, it briefly outlines the two states of American women in the 90th century - the extreme seeking independence and self-protection, or the typical housewife image. In the end, they would rather rush into the Grand Canyon than defend themselves, which shows their extreme distrust of the society at that time. It is not so much a positive resistance of women's rights, but rather the helplessness of disadvantaged groups. A story of being forced into despair by an environment that is not kind enough.
